Splinterlands art contest | Queen Mycelia
Good evening everyone and happy beginning of October, the month of terror begins and that's why I have saved this card for this special day, so today I am participating in the weekly art contest of @Splinterlands with Queen Mycelia card, I feel that it has aesthetically all the Halloween vibes and I decided to make a portrait in my style, where I changed some things and added others, the truth is that I didn't have much expectation when I started, because I thought it would be quite ugly, but it really came out very well and I liked how this Fanart turned out, without a doubt, a very scary card that has a thousand ways to represent it, I hope you like it.
This time my idea was focused on a portrait, because that way I could give more details compared to a full body, making a somewhat disturbing face, with the mouth open and letting out these parasites, I also wanted to add part of the costume as this crown that can be seen behind the head, but being a portrait I felt that placing that element would suffocate the look when viewing the drawing, so I chose to only add the parasites in the mouth and a neck illuminated in red simulating the effect that the original card has in the hands. Anyway, I started my sketch and began to paint using a very pale color palette where I used lilac, white, pink and red colors, then I added a new layer where I placed more colors to give the shape completely to the face, then I began to mix all the colors to leave a smooth finish on the skin.
I finished detailing the whole face and mouth, then I painted the parasites with a dark red to give details to each one adding lights and shadows, I wanted them to look very bright and juicy, I put a dark color as a base in the hair using a medium dark gray, then I started to add lights and shadows with blues, whites and more grays.
I put the background in a dark tone and then I wanted to add more movement to the hair, I started to give brush strokes with a low opacity, giving it a little more movement and a "fade" effect for this point, it occurred to me to add one more element that I could see in the original card, where in the upper part of the body has this kind of pink liquid, so I wanted to add it between the parasites, then I added a layer of lights, highlighting the eyes and other parts of the face, I finished with an image editing where I intensified even more the colors and strokes.
