Splinterlands Art Contest!
Hello guys, it's time for a Splinterlands post for this week. I prepared this ahead of time to post this along with the Splinterlands social media challenge but they changed the them for this week xd. Anyway, I decided to draw non rebellion cards because I don't want to exhaust all my choices while drawing that pack for social media challenge. So I searched for an old card and found Ice Pixie and made my own less agressive version of it haha.
Ice pixie
The process
For this I looked for a reference on Pinterest with fairy pose and build and found one to my liking. When I made the lineart with the big head as in the reference I didn't like the output so I changed the size of the head to normal and proceeded to paint from there. Everything seems to be faster ever since I started using tab itself to draw xd. I should have done this a long time ago lol.
Anyway, I used the same lighting source as shown in the reference and shaded the character accordingly. The skin of the character is blue since it's an ice based card so I made the background colours in a way that it compliments the character. Blue and orange looks good together so there you go, a background made just for this purpose. Added some trees below and behind the character to give the illusion that she is up in the sky, flying.
After rendering the character I felt like something is missing so I added blue and pink on left am right in an overlay mode and something happened. It's seems to be mixing with the transparent wings of pixie and gives out a nice cool effect. I decided to keep it and added a textured layer on her wings as well for detail. In the official Art the glow is blue but I didn't want to follow that so I used pink instead and added a glow effect around bothpf her hands. Today I decided to add one more thing to finish the painting which is the ice covering on her hands. After that the painting was watermarked and posted here :)
