Greetings community, today I present my entry to the Splinterlands weekly contest, this time I chose a card that I really like aesthetically and that is "Dhampir Infiltrator" has many tones that I love and quite interesting lighting, I loved this card and I decided to recreate it in my style, this time I wanted to represent it in the form of a woman, making a rather complicated pose that I had never worked on before, my idea was to do it with open hands and simulating that she is throwing two "kunais" into the air, this idea from the beginning I thought it was super cool and I chose a color palette where blues and purples predominate, I also designed her suit making it different but keeping some things that are characteristic of the real outfit of this card, I hope you like my participation.
I started my sketch which took me hours, it was really difficult to do some things in this drawing and I also thought about how difficult it would be to paint her arms without them being deformed hahaha, I was really worried about that, but I still decided to continue taking risks, the palette The colors that I chose were mostly purple, lilac and blue tones, so I began to place the base tones in each part of the skin, I placed shadows and lights and then in a new layer soften these tones by mixing them together and creating all face and body, for the clothes i use similar tones to the original card, only a little more desaturated.
For the hair I put a very dark purple tone as the base, I began to give details to the clothes, starting with the skirt, I painted some folds in the skirt fabric using lights and shadows and thus creating a quite interesting movement, painting the gloves was pretty simple, I really thought it would be one of my biggest problems, but I just applied some shadows and the shape of the hand was perfectly visible.
Paint this kind of ornaments that I drew on her bra and in a new layer make some highlights and shadows to make that gold look a little more realistic, I did the same with her face mask, paint her hat using a layer that I created under her hair, so that the hair had more life, I painted flashes of light blue light and some shadows, thus creating a mane with movement.
For the background I chose a dark blue base tone and created some very faint waves around her, I also painted a ring behind with very bright light blue, to make my background blend better with the character, i created a layer on top with “multiply” mode and apply a dark shadow on my drawing thus creating a little more darkness and giving more harmony between the character and the background, paint the kunais that she would be throwing and then apply a color adjustment to the whole image, to make some parts of the drawing more interesting i apply a layer of light where I highlight her red eyes, the ring in the background, some lights on her skin and the kunais.
