“Chaos Jailer” // My entry to the Splinterlands art contest (312)

Finally! I’ve just completed my new fan art for the Splinterlands community: the Chaos Jailer. Here’s the final piece.

I’m starting to get the hang of using my iPad and Procreate for digital painting. I feel like this is going to become my favorite tool and workflow for creating art. At first, using Procreate felt complicated, but after giving it another try, it started to feel much easier compared to the drawing tablet I have. It's as if the iPad and digital pen were made for creating digital artwork, especially for beginners.

The pen is intuitive and responds well to the pressure I apply, making it much easier to use.

As for today's artwork, I decided to recreate the Chaos Jailer, but I gave him a different stance, showing him sweeping the kitchen and then preparing for an attack. Another modification I made was to make him appear more physically fit compared to the original design from Splinterlands.

I also redesigned some of the accessories slightly, but they still manage to capture the essence of the original character.

Here’s the process I followed for creating this artwork: I started with a rough sketch to get the proportions right, focusing mainly on the stance and positioning.

After completing the sketch, I moved on to outlining and adding finer details to the character.

I made the outlines as detailed as possible, which made it much easier later on when working on shading and highlighting.

When it came to coloring, I discovered a tool in Procreate that allows you to tap on a closed area, and it will automatically fill in the color I chose with precision.

Once I finished the coloring, I worked on the background first, before doing any shading or highlighting. I felt that creating the background, especially with the lightning effect, would give me a better visual idea of how to shade and highlight the character.

After completing the background, I started on the shading. I used two layers: a lighter shade and a darker one. I believe this adds more depth and appeal to the character.

The same approach applied to the highlighting. I used two layers of brightness—one with a softer highlight and the other with a brighter highlight to emphasize the lightning effects.

For the finishing touch, I added some lighting flares or glares to the shiny accessories to make it look like there was a lightning strike in the background.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how this piece turned out, and I feel like my skills are improving with every new artwork. I can't wait to keep experimenting and see what I can create next!

Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE PUNKTEAM and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.

Are you ready to delve deeper into this topic and uncover more insights? If so, let's proceed. It's time to wake up and gain a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Reply to @crimsonclad

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources
