Good night my dear Hivers and #Splinterlands fans!!! 🤗😘😘

Today, I am pleased to share with all of you my latest illustration created for the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge!!!. This time, I was inspired by the card -=Lyanna Natura=-, which I'm sure many of you already know. Lyanna is a Splinter Earth Summoner, and she was my source of inspiration for this piece. 🌺💖

Since I started drawing, I have always been drawn to fantasy and the elements of nature, and this time, I wanted to create something that reflected this passion. That's why I thought Lyanna was perfect for what I had in mind. 😋💯

Also, I must confess that I have developed quite an attachment for the Earth Splinter lately, as it is the equipment I use most often when playing. I used to play with the Splinter of Death before, but because I don't have as many cards of them, it makes it a bit more difficult for me to play. Still, it's no secret to anyone that when it comes to making my artwork for the Splinterlands art contest, my favorite will always be the Death Splinter. 🤟🏻😎

But let's put that aside for now!!!! I want to share with you this beautiful Summoner, which is one of the first Splinterlands cards. I hope you like my interpretation. 🤔🙄🤭

As you can see this time I wanted to give a softer and more delicate approach to my illustration, seeking to highlight the beauty of the character rather than his warrior spirit in a combat pose or movement. I made some subtle adjustments to her clothing, but nothing that would greatly alter the essence of the character. Also, I added an ornament on his head that looks like a crystal, to give him a touch of fantasy or magic. 🪄✨🔮

Below, you can find the steps I followed to create this piece in some images I saved while I advanced in my #FanArt, as well as a video showing the whole process. I hope you enjoy all of this. 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Lyanna Natura

After the Magi of the Forest, Lyanna is the greatest summoner from Anumun. She has many powers in addition to summoning, including her ability to communicate clearly with animals. She is married to Aggrodius Lightbringer, and they live together in Draykh-Nahka with their two daughters, Kiara and Talia. Lyanna lives a busy and high-profile life, very different from her simple past on the Lyverian countryside.

This was my second attempt at this drawing. Why? Well, I actually had a completely different idea at first, but after making some progress, I started to have doubts. So before going to sleep, I was experimenting for almost an hour and decided to change the pose. There were a lot of things left to do, but I liked the new pose better than the old one, so I decided to go ahead with it. 🫡

I also added a background I had previously made for Quora to give me an idea of what the setting might look like. Sometimes it's helpful to use things we've done before. 🙄🤔🤭

-.-

Overnight, Lyanna looked bigger, so I made a small modification to improve it. Also, since she was getting cold 😋, I put her outfit on her, which as I mentioned above which had changed a bit, but still retained the essence of her.

When I started painting, I did it in a night environment, so the palette looked colder. ❄️❄️❄️

-.-

The leaves I was drawing didn't suit me, so I changed them a bit to cover Lyanna more. Although in the original character she has a kind of white skirt, I omitted that part and added other small details on her legs, but I thought it looked good, so I went ahead with that.

-.-

Not a lot of changes here, just a little "tiara" I added and a flower. On the body, it was a bit more advanced because at first it was just a sketch, so the lights and shadows needed to be better defined. By the way, to do this drawing (and the previous ones 🤣), I only used a brush 95% of the time and I didn't use the round brush to blur, but a finger tool, which I like the effect better, idk things of mine. 🫲🏻🙄🫱🏻

-.-

Remember I said it would be a night environment... well, here everything changed, why? because I usually don't do that kind of environments. So inspired by Quora, which had some sun, I decided to do it and it looked less ghostly, haha. At this point, the clothes were pretty much done, I was just making small changes to accentuate the shadows because of the light and stuff.

-.-

In this step there weren't many changes, just some small things. Although I had mixed feelings about the blue blouse, many times I doubted whether to do it or not, but in the end I did it and just added some details. Another advance here was also the hair, to which, although it doesn't have much rendering, I added some small reflections, I also made more shadows on the body to give it that touch of naturalness. The background also had an improvement, it looked better and matched her position. 🤟🏻😎

-.-

Finally, I decided to add a new face. As always, there were many changes and adjustments along the process, but I think the new face gave more feeling to the drawing. 🤔🤗

To finish, I accentuated some lights and shadows, reflections and other details. The tiara that Lyanna wears had a small stone in the center and to it I decided to add some light. 🪄✨

Oh, and I almost forgot to do the bracelet on the other arm, oops!!! Fortunately, I included it in the illustration before I finished. 🫡

All in all, this was all the work I did to bring this illustration to fruition. I hope you liked the whole process and the final result. 💖💖💖

I wish you a nice early morning and get lots of rest... See you soon!!! 🤗😴💤💤
