Dark Enchantress - Splinterlands Art Contest Week 187

[keimo]

Hello Fellow Hivers!

Welcome to another Splinterlands Weekly Challenge!

---

Greetings everyone! I hope you're all doing great.

First of all, it is almost election day here in the Philippines. I want to remind my fellow Filipinos to please choose and vote wisely.

Today I would like to share with you my entry for this week's contest in @Splinterlands. My chosen subject for this week is Dark Enchantress.

It is really my weakness doing characters with human features. I am having a hard time especially with the face and hands. Still, I am practicing it more because it is better to try than never doing it.

So, let's proceed.

Application/Materials

• Medibang Paint Pro
• Desktop Computer

Card Reference

Dark Enchantress Lore

PROCESS

Sketch

At first, I wanted to do the generic pose of Dark Enchantress as sitting but I changed it afterwards.

So instead of sitting pose, I changed it to a standing pose with one hand holding out for the broom. I also wanted it to have a sexy vibe so the other hand is in the hip.

I made a stick figure first using pencil setting in medibang so I can visualize what would it looked like.

Adding Body

I added the figure next and some details like the hat and the hair so I can see where I can position other details. I also added the broom. I wanted it to look like a real broom and not cartoony.

Adding Details

I made a separate layer for the hair from the other details. It may look a bit messy but I made it like this so I can color it easier.

In another layer, I made the outline and other details. I also noticed that the broom is somewhat short so I added more to it.

I combined the hair and the body for the final outline. This is what it looks like afterwards.

Colors

I added the base colors referencing the image of the card. I also added a darker background so I can see the colors better before I start adding the shadows and lights.

Shadows and Highlights

I made separate clipping layers for the each part. I also added shadows and lights simultaneously while coloring.

I did the hair first. I used airbrush and tapered pen setting so I can achieve the details. It is my first time doing this so it is not perfect.

Next, I did the skin and added the eyes. Then I worked on the clothes and the accessories like the belt in the hat, the necklace and gold linings and the bracelets.

After I did all the parts, I worked on the broom last because I wanted it more realistic. I added shadows and lights on the stick. For the broom bristles, I used tapered pen with the lowest setting and made a lot of little strokes to achieve the look. I used dark and light tones of brown for this.

Note: I used airbrush setting to blend everything.

Adjustments

When I zoomed in, I noticed that the hair is pixelated and I am a little bit bothered with it. I used blur brush and fixed it.

Background

For the background, I drew a cat and a big moon. Why? Because I can't think of anything 😂😂😂. I colored it and put the character after.

Final Output

I put some lights and shadows as well and this is the final output.

Dear @keimo, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
