Hello Hivers, hello friends from Alien Art Hive! How are you all today? I hope everyone is doing well and feeling excited to explore your weekend.
I'm excited to share my latest story and artwork with you today. This time, I'd like to share a new digital art I've just finished. I actually started working on it three days ago, but due to my mood not being very supportive, I had to postpone it until today. It can be quite frustrating when you're focused and in the zone, only for your mood to drastically change, forcing you to stop everything. But no worries, my mood is a bit better today and I'm here now sharing what I've started with you.
This picture depicts an angel with a skull for a head. In the background, I've arranged swords in a circular pattern, conveying strength and protection symbolized by this character. With fire blazing in its hand, it illuminates the darkness with a mysterious light.
To add a magical touch, I used a yellow fractal from @justclickindiva, which I often use in my magical-themed artworks to showcase wonders and add drama. This fractal image really caught my eye. The billowing clouds in the background are meant to enhance the impression of viewing a scene from a higher realm.
The process began with a blank canvas, where I carefully selected the necessary materials. I chose a background that suited this concept, using billowing clouds and stars in the sky. Next, I added wings to the character to give it the appearance of flying. Here, I replaced the head with a skull.
The use of fractals in this scene greatly aided in creating a magical appearance. To complete the image, I arranged swords in a circular formation and applied a blur effect to create a glowing effect.
Lastly, I added star touches in several areas and adjusted the lighting to clarify the details.
I unintentionally added a black-and-white effect when adjusting the lighting for this picture. I used a gradient map and ended up preferring the final result in black and white. The color one looks okay to me, but the use of black and white makes the scene look better.
That's all for now, thank you for joining me on this journey and taking the time to read through. I would love to see you in my next post!
