Hello again!
I did something crazy with Zingu and Cinelara XD. I decided to create a fight scene between these two on the north pole. Zingu being in his own element is making him more powerful so Cinelara is blasted off back because of the force from Zingu's Snow Blade Tackle attack. That's something I made up but it fits the theme here. I also wanted to play with the red and blue colour contrast as well. It's been a while since I did that so here we are in the middle of the battle.
The pose gave me some trouble because of the angle. I always go for annoying but interesting angled pose references and ends up taking 3 to 4hrs making the rough sketch. Luckily this time it didn't bore me so this was done in just one go. Background was quite tricky though. If you notice the wip shots of it some of them are incomplete and I made them like that on purpose because of the explosive motion that's gonna happen around Zingu so we only need a small area of focus and I still needed to paint some ice shards around him like he is breaking the ice ground with his power. Oh yeah, I used the smudge tool to get that motion blur effect. Has to do this one manually because we don't need that on all the areas.

your art is getting more and more dynamic 😮😮 it's so cool
Thanks Hanz!
I recently discovered that smudge tool is excellent for that.
really? doesn't your software have a gaussian blur tool? or a dynamic blur? i know some softwares have that now
It does have all that but I need more control on certain areas so I can use that for certain situations. For eg i only used smudge tool at the end of Zingu's body. If I were to use moving blur either the whole body will be blurred or if I combine it with lasso and select the end of the body there will be like a cut off which I need to smoothen out so smudge is better in this instance.
if i were in your shoes i would duplicate the layer, do the blir then just erase the overlay that didn't quite fit my taste and vision because I'm lazy like that 🤣🤣 but you have a mastery of the lasso tool so i think this way works great for you
Actually I did this on my latest splinterlands entry lol. I do that sometimes to make a quick effect. I forgot about it xD.
I still prefer smudge though. All you have to do is just create a brush stroke and it'll emulate a smudge like you see in traditional method. It's super convenient and easy to do.
good point 🤔🤔 you just have to make sure the stroke direction aligns. maybe I'll try exploring this one of these days
