Day 8 of #Zingtober 2024: "Hiking with Infurno & Miu"

avatar

Holo!

Before I show you my latest entry for the #Zingtober fest, let me share some exciting news about a recent event on the platform... the launch of Snaps! It’s Hive’s short-form content app!

We're in an exciting time on the platform, especially considering the growth happening despite the current market conditions. I think we can all agree that this is one of the most thrilling moments we've experienced. It feels like everyone is committed to building and growing, regardless of the season in the market cycle. This kind of resilience makes me confident that Hive is here to stay and will continue progressing on all fronts of development.

If that doesn’t motivate you, I’m not sure what will! Now is the perfect time to engage with the network, and with the introduction of Snaps by PeakD, there’s even less of an excuse not to create content. You no longer need to write long posts to connect with the community; short-form content is now available on most front-ends, and Snaps is the latest buzz-worthy addition to PeakD. This development excites me even more!

With these new tools, I feel more motivated to participate, connect with others, and engage in different ways. I foresee Snaps being especially useful for those who just want to quickly say something to the blockchain and save it. It will be interesting to see how this changes engagement on the platform. I expect it will have a positive impact in the coming weeks and months.

Now, getting back to my Zingtober entry… This artwork is based on today’s prompt, which is "hike"!

I like to think of it as a continuation of the prompt from Day 6, which was "trek." I’ve carried over the same characters I used in that artwork: Ocean Healer, Infurno, and Miu!

Here’s the final outcome of my artwork:

My Process

It all started with a rough sketch to firm up the overall framing and composition of the scene. This process really helps me position each element within the canvas and ensures everything looks balanced.

Next, I worked on individual elements of the artwork. I focused more on the foreground and the main subjects, while the background was primarily cross-hatching.

I added finer details to the subjects so there are interesting elements to discover when zooming in on the drawing. These details may not be immediately obvious, but it’s something I enjoy doing for my own satisfaction. It leaves me feeling proud of what I accomplished.

The background is much simpler now, using basic brush strokes and cross-hatching to add depth and a nice texture.

To wrap things up, I’m thrilled to continue pushing my creative boundaries while exploring new prompts in #Zingtober. The recent developments on Hive, like the launch of Snaps, make this an exciting time to stay engaged and connected with the community. Let’s keep building, creating, and evolving together!

First of all I need to check on Snaps and see how they work. Until now I was using Threads for short form, but it has its downsizes.

Second the art is quite impressive and who doesn't like a hike in the mountains? I surely do and try to escape from the urban noise into the mountains as often as I can.

Please do, Snaps has a unique vibe (quite clean & fast too).

Thanks for noticing my artwork. !INDEED going on a trek or hike in nature is the best (temporary) escape from city life ☺️

Looks like you've got another good art here! What I noticed is it is a bit different from your past works, I used to look at your works a closed-up look (more likely zoomed in) but maybe it's because of the Hike prompt haha!

Anyway, Snaps are really just a very good feature. I should write a content about it 😄

!INDEED the “hike” as prompt made me visualize something grand or huge so my scene looks this way.

The next prompts, I may go for some close ups again.

Thanks for dropping by 👍

Ah yes, I saw that on YouTube, it's really good, but it's not compatible with PC.

Dammit man that is good. The closer I looked, the more it drew me in and the angles on your background texture and contrast lines fell perfect.

You had me at the motivational speech at the beginning but the journey from blank page to hike is damn cool.

I was listening to Dan’s “Im proud of Hive 3S video” while making this drawing. I got inspiration dose which is why it showed in the early part of my post 😜

Anyway, thanks for dropping by and checking on my drawing. Appreciate it 🙏
