Splinterlands art contest | Runemancer Kye
Greetings friends, this week for the @Splinterlands contest I felt quite motivated to make this card, I was really waiting for that motivation and patience to be able to represent this card, because it is one of my favorites aesthetically and I must confess that I was very afraid to do it because of the many details it has, however, I took two days in which I dedicated myself 100% to this drawing, I just finished it today and I love the result, I wanted to make this version with many similarities to the original but I also wanted to make some changes like for example the costume, making a lighter top but of a material similar to the original, I also wanted to make a tail with a lot of light to simulate those scales that I was so afraid to paint, I spent many hours to be satisfied, but I'm really happy with the result, I hope you like it as much as I do.
I made my sketch, which was not easy because I had some problems with the tail that little by little I was fixing until I had a cleaner sketch, the colors I used are based on the original card, but with a lower saturation to not make it so bright, I put a purple base on the skin and then I added a new layer where I started to add shadows and lights, for the tail I used a dark blue base.
Then I created another layer where I started to blur the colors of the face, giving it more shape.
I mixed all the tones in the rest of the body creating a volume and folds in the part of the abdomen, I also chose some tones for the tail which I applied using a diffuse brush and without much detail, I mixed a little these colors until softening them and giving that smooth aspect to the tail, I painted the hair with this reddish tone as a base.
The tail was a subject that had me quite worried because the scales are a fundamental part and I wanted to make many scales, I filled myself with patience and I began to draw a million small points and circles of quite saturated colors that, when seeing them from far away give that illusion of scales, although this was the most tedious part, I loved the effect it had, I continued painting the top of the clothes, this time I used a king blue to lighten and a darker blue for the shadows, I made up a bronze design covering the top and added shadows and highlights to give it volume, then I painted the cane with dark purple and 3 different shades of purple and pink to start give it details.
The hair still needed those highlights to give it movement, so I added a dark brown for the shadows and a light reddish for the highlights.
Then came the moment I enjoy the most and that is to add small illuminations, and that's what I did in all the parts that should stand out, I also painted some rays coming out of the cane.
For the background I did this kind of ocean, without many details, then I painted the wings, for which I subtracted the colors of the original wings but in a less saturated range, finally I added the last details, a little shadow on my character, some lights and a little color adjustment.
