Hello people, this week I want to participate in the @Splinterlands contest with this Naga Assassin card, I had been wanting to do it for a long time but there were some things that made me see this drawing quite complicated, however, yesterday I felt in the mood to try it, I made the sketch since yesterday afternoon and at night I started to paint, I finished recently and I can tell you that it was indeed too difficult, I tried to stick very much to the original design but to my style, the only thing I changed was that belt on the waist because I really didn't like it so much, so I erased it from the sketch, I wanted to make everything quite colorful, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch where I wanted to make my character posing in a simple way, I had a hard time making the tail, I think I got a little tangled when doing it, I chose the colors I was going to work with, which were quite strong and saturated warm tones, I applied more tones in a new layer to give better shape to the skin, for the hair I used a grey base tone, then I started to detail even more the skin giving it the final finish to simulate softness, I added more tones to the hair giving it shadows and lights to create movement and I also put a cream base tone for the tail.
I painted the knife and the upper part of the clothes, subtracting the color from the original card and making it a little less saturated, then I started to paint the details of the tail, this I think was the most time consuming, it was very difficult to get the result I imagined and although it didn't look exactly as I thought, I think it looks good. I wanted to add a bright background where I started to add a red light that illuminates the center.
Then I added more light details and it occurred to me to add a texture of movement on the edges of the drawing, then I passed the image through a slight editing process adjusting a little saturation of the drawing, just before uploading this post, I realized that I forgot an important detail which I had placed in the sketch and it was these thorns coming out of the tail, so now I edited the image and drew these thorns hahaha.
