Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you something very special. Ever since I discovered the HoloZing game, I have been fascinated by its concept and gameplay mechanics. I was so inspired that I decided to create my own fan art based on this amazing game.
My inspiration comes from a very common animal in my country, Venezuela: the Chigüire. This animal is known for its strength and adaptability, characteristics that I think are perfectly reflected in the spirit of HoloZing. the Chigüire, also known as Capybara, is Known for his friendly nature. It is often seen in groups, reflecting its social behavior. Their cute appearance and calm demeanor often attract people's sympathy. In fact, it is the largest rodent in the world and despite its size, it does not have many natural enemies, which speaks to its ability to adapt and survive.
In the context of HoloZing, these characteristics translate into a character who is strong but friendly, able to withstand attacks and heal himself. His cute appearance could be an advantage in battles, as he could disarm his opponents with his charm. At the same time, his friendly nature could translate into abilities that help other team members in team battles.
In short, the Chigüire is a fascinating animal and its incorporation into HoloZing as a playable character adds an interesting dimension to the game.
Here I leave you a step by step of how I made my design, from my mobile with the SketchBook app. I started with a very basic sketch.
The base image was from the following Reddit link:

When I finished closing all the points I started coloring in light tones.
Here you can see how I was working with the different layers, after the initial coloring I added some details with gradients and some small effects for the hair.
The final result of the design was the following
The interesting thing was inventing a name for it, it could be Capybarium or Hydrochoerix, taking into account that it is a mixed character: Water/Earth.
How skills that they reflect the unique nature of him:
Fierce Bite: A physical attack that mirrors the Chigüire's strong bite.
Aquatic Dive: A movement that allows the Chigüire to dodge
attacks for one turn and then attack.
Earthquake: A ground-type move that deals damage to all Zings on the battlefield.
Mud Recovery: A healing move that restores HP, mirroring the Chigüire's ability to heal in mud.
Well, that’s all for today. I hope you liked my fan art of HoloZing and that it inspired you to create your own. I would love to see more designs and your ideas for other characters based on animals from your countries. If you have any suggestion for another fan art that you want me to do, leave it in the comments. I thank you very much for your attention and your support. See you next time.
