This HoloZing community is really taking a lot of strength recently, and I am not only referring to its token or the current market value, I am referring to the increase of users interested in the project, as well as the interest of many artists who are also active users in the art events that are made in communities like Splinterlands or many more.
But in HoloZing we are also seeing the amazing work of these great artists, so here I join with my art and besides that I will tell you a little how my ZING token collection goes....

ZING/Staking collection progress.
The image you are seeing here is a history of the most recent claims I have made with my account, I have won some ZING tokens thanks to the HP delegation, and if you want to know a little more about how you can win this token for free or the different ways to get it, you can click here and read my post where I explain in detail.
It is important to mention that at the moment you can't do anything with the token, because this project is under construction, but there is still time for you to earn some tokens, because they will be very useful later on.
To round up the numbers a bit, I have a total of 2400 ZING in my possession, all of them are in Staking, because at the moment it works much better to have them there.
If we make a quick change to see the sale value, it would be one 39 HIVE...
It may not be a large amount but I see it as passive earnings, and taking into account how this PLay2earn project looks like, my best decision is to have them and not sell them so I can participate later.
New artists in HoloZing.
A few days ago, the @holozing account announced the creation of a space for HoloZing artists - (You can read it here), as there were actually many users who were creating all kinds of Fan Art for the project.
That's great, as we have a lot of interesting things to see, and it also attracts the eyes of many more users.
In the official HoloZing website a section was created where the most outstanding drawings or arts of this project are exposed, so being in this list would be a great honor for the artists that are entering the community.
The image you see here is from my brother @dnagameroficial, and I mention it here, because he has written a post where he explains the process he has done to achieve a digital art of one of the characters or mascots of the HoloZing game.
You can see the whole process by clicking here and see the final result.
But as well as @dnagameroficial, I also have some time drawing, although I'm not an expert, I have made some digital drawings which I have also published in my blog, if you like you can see them here:

But it is time to show you the process of how I have created my art, I reiterate again, I am not an expert, but I do like to draw in my spare time.
My character creation process.
The character with which I took the inspiration for my drawing was Grass Racoon, an earth element monster that I find very striking for its color and appearance, plus I have in mind to make more variations, something like the evolutions of the characters, although that was already discussed in the official account of @holozing.
The main thing in all this was to make the sketch, and I decided to change some things, but to keep some characteristic features of the character, and of course his main colors, where the green color stands out between light and dark tones.
To draw I am using the program SAI 2.0, and I use a computer to draw, and it is a little complicated to draw with the mouse of the PC, but still the attempt is made and I managed to make the design of the character.
Being a Monster of earth element or nature, it is essential to add some leaves, so I decided to make them as a kind of crown on his head.
The tail of the character I extended it a little but keeping its thickness.
Drawing the eyes of the characters has always been something that has cost me a lot, but here it came out perfect, according to my criteria.
I decided to leave the eyes with the same style of the original drawing, because that is a characteristic point that I couldn't eliminate from this monster.
I also added some details in the tail that make it look much better, and it matches the shape of the fur of the Raccoons in real life, or at least that's what I think hahaha, I hope I'm right.
It's time to color, because the most complicated thing is to make the line of the character, but the painting with solid colors is the easiest of all this process.
Besides, having a palette of colors already selected makes it much easier, because I'm using the same palette of colors as the original character.
Not exactly the same, but colors very close to the original and you can see how it is turning out.
Something I didn't like about my drawing was the thickness of the outer lines, as they are too thick in my opinion.
But I realized this was after I was already adding the colors, and especially this is more noticeable in the face of the character, but I did not find a way to make the lines thinner, the only option I saw was to remove everything and do it again, but I discarded that idea immediately ....
Then I started adding some shadows with a darker color tone, for this I created several different layers to achieve a better result.
And also to make it more comfortable when editing the contrast of the colors, because I always recommend to make a different layer for each color and for each section that you are coloring in your drawing.
The shadows are the ones that really give life to the drawing, because without them it looks like a very flat drawing without contrast, and here you can see the big difference this makes.
I have added some details with shadows to highlight the strong points of the drawing and give it more depth and this is the result I managed to get...
Final result.
After this, I always use to run my drawings through Photoshop CC to modify a little bit the tone, contrast, saturation, brightness and some extra details of my drawings and so finally leave a HoloZing Fan Art as one worthy of exhibiting in my blog and here you can see it.
I will leave two images, one in PNG format without any background in case you want to use it, and another with a background, I hope you like it.
I hope to see your opinion in the comments, it was a pleasure to have written this and it is a pleasure to see that you are reading it until the end.
Soon you will see another of my creations, as I have some good ideas in mind, greetings to all and I hope you have a happy day.
