Splinterlands art contest | Mushroom Seer
Espero que les guste.
Very good evening friends.
Today I wanted to try something different for my entry to the @Splinterlands contest, usually when I do my Fanart I try to be pretty faithful to the original card design, but this time I chose a somewhat different character, I confess that I am not very good at drawing creatures or rather, I have not tried, I'm quite afraid that it can go wrong since it is not something common for my art style, however, I really wanted to recreate this card and I decided to make a change adapting it to my style, turning Mushroom Seer into a woman, I tried to keep the essence of the character respecting some colors and obviously adding small mushrooms and the huge mushroom on the head, I didn't want to draw a single eye so instead I decided to make 3 eyes where the third one is located in the center of the forehead, it was a quite difficult work but I loved it, it felt quite good this change of character adapting it a little more to my style and to what I know how to do.
I hope you like it.
I made my sketch, it was really complicated, because I had no idea how to place the mushroom on the head, this was almost improvised and I decided to trust that it would look good when I painted it, I chose a pale color palette, I started to add the solid colors leaving the lights and shadows clear, then I added a new layer where I put more colors and then I started to mix and blend them together leaving a smoother texture on the skin, then I started to paint the clothes for which I chose a color similar to the skin that has the mushroom on the original card, I started to paint the mushroom on the head using red and a gray tone on the inside of the mushroom.
Para finalizar edite la imagen, sentía que todo se veía bien pero muy apagado, colores muy sombríos y buscaba algo mas colorido, asi que realice un ajuste de color a toda la imagen dando tonalidades más cálidas y más vibrantes, se veía mucho mejor asi.
I started to detail the clothes, I wanted to paint a kind of corset in the upper part below the bust, then I added shadows and lights to the fabric but without exaggerating, I really wanted something simple, I continued painting the mushroom on the head creating some folds in the inner part of the mushroom to give it a little more realism, I painted the details in yellow that the mushroom has in the original card and then I started to paint the small mushrooms that are stuck to the skin, of course I needed to give some light to the drawing so I added a layer of lights to highlight the eyes, mouth, nose and some of the small mushrooms, for the background I placed a dark tone and a flash with an orange color behind it.
Finally I edited the image, I felt that everything looked good but very dull, very dark colors and I was looking for something more colorful, so I made a color adjustment to the whole image giving warmer and more vibrant tones, it looked much better this way.
