Runesser Sevaya | Splinterlands Art Contest W370

Hello, dear creative community!
Today i'm back with another Splinterlands fan art . While I was finishing the sketch for another drawing, i decided to look through the cards to see what other character i could draw. This time, this character caught my attention because of its colors and clairvoyant characteristics. For a few days now, i've been wanting to draw something with the color orange. Lately, i've been finding inspiration in a particular color. Before, it was red, and now it seems to be orange. This sequence is familiar to me; it reminds me of the chakras. So this character is perfect for this occasion.

I began to draw the first lines with my graphite pencil... Everything flowed smoothly, fortunately my hand is now working normally. Sometimes after sketching, i like to apply the background color directly because i no longer find it comfortable to draw on white, the lighting in my room makes it more difficult. But i preferred to first outline all the base lines with black ink and then start the coloring part.

This time, instead of starting with the main figure, i wanted to add color to the background. As i mentioned earlier, i like to apply a base color to the entire area, but i wasn't sure if i wanted my character to have that orange color because i was afraid it would cause problems with the other colors later on, so i only reserved that base tone for the background and other areas such as her eyes and hair. I also used a yellow and terracotta tone for her clothes and helmet.

I started preparing the entire drawing with the base colors. I wanted to do everything neatly so i wouldn't have to add so many details with other techniques. I did this entire step with alcohol markers and added the black details with calibrated drawing pens.

I used a deep, bright blue, a warm dark gray, and i really liked that terracotta color, so i used it as the base color for the skin as well. For the hair, i had already used orange as the base, and i used a mahogany brown marker to add texture to the hair. At this point, i liked how the character was turning out, so i continued adding details to the background with a cream color and pointillism.

Using the same shades i was already using, i wanted to create midtones and shadows. With the terracotta, i continued adding other layers to darken certain areas. This also worked for the blue areas, although in other areas i looked for a darker blue marker to give more depth to the clothing. With a light gray color, i added the illuminated parts, and with an intense yellow color, i wanted to add lines throughout the drawing, like small reflections of light on her clothes and other accessories.

I left this part for last because i wasn't entirely sure whether to keep the skin purple like the original character or give it other shades with that terracotta base, even though it looks a little greenish in the photo. But from the beginning, i thought about adding a layer of lilac color and then complementing it with a soft magenta and dark violet tone to shade it a little. I added the final luminous details with acrylic markers. I used yellow to create the glow around the main figure.

And that's how this mystical monster turned out. I enjoyed drawing this character; i loved her colors, energy, and that clairvoyant samurai wizard look. That's all for today. I hope you like it. See you later! ;)
