Splinterlands - Art Contest Week 152 - Mimosa Nightshade in Pixel Art

in #splinterlands3 years ago

Mimosa Nightshade by Draicor.png

Hey guys and gals. I've done a little bit of pixel art, but never something as complex as this, took me about 15 hours to complete. Basically, I used the original artwork for Mimosa Nightshade as a guideline (I really love this picture), and changed her arms and her clothing too, and added a different spell effect too. I really enjoyed while doing this, I hope you like it as much as I do ^^.
I used Aseprite to draw this, I'll post some pictures of the process.

First thing I did was draw the contour from her hair and face, trying to reduce the color palette to max 12. I hid the eyebrows and eyes below her hair and also changed her chin a bit, it looked.. weird.. Tried to recreate the highlights and shadows from the original artwork, while removing the lighting from the magic spell she is casting on the original.

Then I drew the arms, I used the Evangelist artwork as a guideline too.

I wasn't sure how I was going to dress her up, so I decided to remove the cape and leave the original shirt with a little twist.

And then I drew a short dress/skirt and the heels ^^,

The final step was to add the new magic spell effect (with some transparency) and my signature.
I've never spent so much time on a drawing lol, but it was fun, I loved every minute.

Nice! Guess if you dont have a Mimosa Nightshade, drawing one would work as well? Haha. Anyway nice art piece!

May I ask what software did you use for this?

I used the software Aseprite. Thanks ^^, and thats exactly what I thought, I can't afford that card yet so I might just draw it hahaha

Ya! My sentiments too! But that is indeed one cool drawing you have there buddy!

All the best for the challenge, hope you can win it and bag home a nice pack with great cards!

Thanks my friend, I hope.. Imagine getting mimosa from that pack though, sick lol

DUDE! That would absolutely rock man! But hey! Seeing your product and that you literally designed it from scratch, I really do think you would have a really fair chance on this! Do share with me the results if you win it man!

haha will do man, will do, i'll keep you posted
