Flying Squid - Splinterlands Art Contest Week

Welcome everyone, I hope you are well. Today I want to share with you a digital drawing a little bit common in comparison with the ones I have shared in the art contest of these weeks of Splinterlands, because it is the first monster that I try to draw because I have always shared portraits and parts of anatomy of human characters, this time I wanted to make a sea creature called Flying Squid of the Water Splinter. Below, I present you the story of this letter:

Bienvenidos a todos, espero se encuentren bien. El dia de hoy les quiero compartir un dibujo digital un poco comun en comparacion con los que he compartido en el concurso de arte de estas semanas de Splinterlands, debido a que es el primer monstruo que intento dibujar porque lo que siempre he compartido hacido retratos y partes de anatomia de personajes humanos, en esta ocasion quise hacer una criatura del mar llamada Flying Squid del Splinter de Agua. A continuación, les presento la historia de esta carta:


"The Chaos Legion captain stood at the helm of the ship, gazing out at the empty sea. The sky was an overcast gray, and a brisk breeze ruffled his hair. A large flock of seagulls skimmed the surface of the water, flying ever closer.

He squinted his eyes. The birds drew nearer. As they did, he saw they weren't gulls at all. They were white, yes, but instead of wings and feathers, they had smooth, sheeny skin and tentacles that waved through the air.

From high above in the ship's crow's nest came the cry of alarm. “Flying Squid, twelve o'clock!"

"El capitán de la Legión del Caos estaba al timón del barco, contemplando el mar vacío. El cielo estaba gris y nublado, y una brisa fresca le alborotaba el pelo. Una gran bandada de gaviotas rozaba la superficie del agua, volando cada vez más cerca.

Entornó los ojos. Las aves se acercaban. Al hacerlo, vio que no eran gaviotas en absoluto. Eran blancas, sí, pero en lugar de alas y plumas, tenían una piel suave y brillante, y tentáculos que ondeaban en el aire.

Desde lo alto, en la cofa del barco, llegó el grito de alarma: "¡Calamar Volador, a las doce!"


For the elaboration of this drawing, I started looking for a reference to help me in the elaboration so I started looking for squids to guide me in creating the protagonist of the post, slightly inspired by the story of the letter. I managed to complete the work in approximately 7 hours, what I liked most about this drawing were the colors that I applied to the character.

Para elaboracion de este dibujo, comencé buscando una referencia que me ayudara en la elaboracion asi fue que empece a buscar calamares para poder guiarme en crear al protagonista del post, inspirándome ligeramente en la historia de la carta. Logré completar el trabajo en un tiempo aproximado de 7 horas, lo que mas me gusto de este dibujo fueron los colores que aplique en el personaje.


Process


In the sketching phase, I started by making several guide lines until I achieved a reasonable resemblance to the reference image I had found. Then I moved on to the coloring stage.

En la fase del boceto, comence realizando varias líneas guía hasta lograr un parecido razonable con la imagen de referencia que había encontrado. Para luego avanzar a la etapa del coloreado.
