Week 319 My Splinterlands Art Contest Entry | Naga Assassin

Hello! 🤩

I got a notification from Coingecko this morning, and oh~ OHHH- Hive is at 0.30! What a big jump from seven days ago. Man, that is a 90 percent gain. I had some liquid Hive on my wallet and so sold them. This is a nice early Christmas gift, haha. 😁 Hoping for a steady climb.

For this week, I chose Naga Assassin.

Art Process

Okay, so I saw this nice tight pose from Pinterest. And I was thinking of picking this, haha. This is a hella hard position, and normally, I just go for the normal head pose. Initially, I just wanted a neutral expression and then changed to frown eyebrows.

I always start with the darker or saturated base color now, because for me, it is easier to put the light placement. I then started rendering the eyes and putting some shadows on the clothing.

Here is now the blinding lights. 😁 On the top layer, I also added some hints of orange and red because under the skin is blood.

Final Art

For the final touch-ups, I used some sparky sparky brush for some nuances just for extra detail. I also blur some of the background for some depth. Finally, masking it with a texture.

Finished art! ✨
