About My XOLO Fanart

Today, I’m sharing my fanart of XOLO, one of the characters from the @Holozing community. I’ve added my own creative touch to it while staying true to its original design. Here’s how I created it:

The Concept Behind XOLO

XOLO draws inspiration from ancient mythology and modern fantasy, blending feline agility with canine strength. I wanted the design to convey both mystery and charm, which is why I chose a sleek gray body complemented by bold pops of color:

Golden highlights: Representing power and vitality.
Blue accents: Symbolizing wisdom and calmness.
Pink inner ears: Adding a playful, approachable vibe.
A glowing gem on its forehead: A symbol of its mystical abilities.

The Artistic Process

Creating this piece was an exciting journey! Here's how it came to life:

Sketching the Base Design: I started with a pencil sketch to map out XOLO's proportions and features.

Inking the Details: Using fine liners, I carefully outlined the body, paying attention to facial expressions and markings.

Coloring with Bold Shades: I used markers and watercolors to bring XOLO to life. To add a magical glow, I incorporated glitter and metallic accents.
