Splinterlands art contest | Torch Vizier
Good evening friends, today I dared to participate with a card for the @Splinterlands contest that I really liked, but at the same time it was a disaster to finish this drawing for different reasons, I really liked the rudeness that I can perceive in this card besides having fire, something that I like to see but not much to paint, fire is something quite complex sometimes.
I wanted to recreate it guiding me a lot by the details of the original image, however I eliminated some elements that at least in my drawing looked very noisy to the eye, it was one of the most difficult challenges I've had so far and honestly I'm not happy with the result, but the way to get to the drawing completely finished was the worst, I have 3 days trying to finish it but the electricity was always going out in the area where I live, today I took advantage that the situation was a little better to complete everything as quickly as possible, I hope you like it despite everything haha.
This week's choice was difficult, there are many new cards that I like and that I want to recreate, however, I wanted to take this challenge because it has many warm tones and these are the most difficult for me to handle, both because I do not like these colors, and because of the noise that makes me feel these tones at sight, a few days ago I made the sketch, then I chose the palette of colors to work, I placed them on the skin adding lights and shadows, then I added a new layer where I started to mix the colors creating a softer skin, then I painted the hair with yellow.
Then I placed the base colors on the clothes and the other accessories, subtracting these colors from the original card but desaturating them a little bit, then I started to detail garment by garment adding lights and shadows, the same I did with the hair, this time I wanted a more rustic finish on the hair, simulating flames, I felt everything was too saturated for my taste, so I darkened the image a little bit and then I added a layer of lights where I highlighted some details of the face and accessories, for the background I wanted to keep it simple in black and then add fire, to finish I edited the image to my taste.
