Hey there, folks. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Another Friday passed and with it came my new Splinterlands Art Contest - a bit late, but I guess it still counts.This week I decided to draw Blackmoor Trickster which had been sitting in the backline for a while. This is one of the older cards that I've seen so many great fan arts of, but I didn't have a unique idea to try drawing myself.Trickster is a Nature monster so I decided to draw her on a green background with greeneries and that, to my surprise, went pretty well with the purple from her hair. I also tried changing the angle from which the portrait was drawn, so it feels somewhat different from my regular portraits, but at the same time, I like the feel this one is giving too.Anyway, that's it for this week's fan art. As always, you can see the steps to this piece in The Process section. Let me what you think about it in the comments down below. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts about it and I'll see you in the next week's contest. Cheers~ The Process

Hey there, everyone. I hope this post finds you well. I decided to go back to some of the older monsters and see which ones I hadn't done yet, and there I found Chirple. I did draw a human version of Chirpily I wanted to try something new for this piece and chose a style or theme for the drawing. The style I chose is "Japanese" or "Oriental" as you can guess by the result of it. I gave her a red Kimono and a background that reminisces Japanese forests or hot springs (or maybe it's the kimono that's shifting my mind and focus into thinking it's Japanese). Last, but not least, I drew some feathers on her head that used Chirple's color pattern which would make the final result bear some resemblance to her monster form.That's it for today's fan art. Let me know what you think in the comments down below, and I'll be seeing you all in the next fan art... cheers~The Process

Hey there, everybody. Recently, I noticed that the Holozing game on Hive has a bug. Not the programmatic kind, but a MONSTER one. If you've been around and following my pattern for a while, you know where this is going - yes, we're turning it into a human. But this time I went the extra mile to make her glow even more than my usual fan art.I emphasized the glow on and around her and drew some points of light gathered around her wings - maybe that's her power? Or are they just fireflies being naturally attracted to light? Or maybe even toxic gas? (as implied by her name) I also borrowed a few elements that I felt would fit from my last piece (the Female Forest Healer one). I avoided using similar glows and lights so they wouldn't look identical, and having seen the results, I think that wasn't even necessary to make it look decent.Anyway, I'll leave you to the process of this piece. Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments down below, and I'll see you in the next one... cheers~The Process

Hey there, everyone. How's it going for you all? I hope it's been alright. It was another Friday, and it was about time for my Splinterlands Art Contest entry submission. This week, we have Pyromaniac as the subject for drawing, and man, he was such a pleasure to work on.Drawing his hair with the parts illuminated by the fire and other parts with a shadow cast on was the most pleasant part of this piece. I'd call it an upgrade of the technique I've been using and I think I'd apply the same logic with lighting in future works, but it's an improvement nonetheless, so it's something that I take with me from this drawing.Also, working on his calm expression as opposed to the unhinged vibe he gives in the original art while trying to make it similar to the original art was another part of working on this piece that I found enjoyable.I hope you liked this piece as well, let me know what you think in the comments down below, and I'll see you in the next week's contest... cheers~The ProcessThe Result

Hey there, everybody. I hope you're having a lovely time. Today, I'm bringing you another fan art of the Holozing game - the Female Forest Healer. Usually, when I'm drawing fan art of certain characters, I look at their original art and start and progress from there which helps come up with ideas to help make the drawing give the same vibes and energy as the original one.One thing that I noticed I hadn't been doing enough of is working on child versions of Healers whose original arts are adults. So for this particular piece, I focused on giving the Forest Healer a child-like appearance. We've had kid versions of the monsters - in fact, I believe I've drawn most of the monsters as teenagers and kids, but not Healers. That's why I've dedicated this post to our kid Healer. I hope you enjoy the process down below.Feel free to give me ideas for the next piece as well, and I'll see you in the next fan art... cheers~The Process
