Splinterlands Tower Defense Spell Contest | Heartgiver Spell

Hello community, welcome to my post, today I am participating in this week's new @splinterlands contest “Tower Defense Spell Contest”
This challenge was quite difficult for me since I had to do something a little simpler than what I usually do, to perform this Heartgiver spell I thought of different ideas that included something not so literal, but really the idea that most attracted me if I had to be literal by applying the heart held by the hands of a female silhouette, I wanted to make this silhouette simple so as not to load the image too much, in order to develop my idea I saw several spells in different games and thus understand a little how to represent my version, I wanted my version to have a blue hue because for me blue is a color of peace, of life, I also liked the idea of doing it with some sparkles in certain parts, especially that the heart would stand out a lot, I hope you like it.

Realice mi boceto y me gusto mucho como quedo, se veía muy lindo pero mi idea era hacerlo en forma de silueta asi que solo use los rasgos que había hecho para iluminarlos luego, comencé aplicando un azul muy oscuro en toda la silueta y en una nueva capa aplique algunas iluminaciones, esto también ayuda a darle forma al personaje que ya de por si estaba bastante oscuro, me incomodaba un poco seguir trabajando con el fondo gris asi que comencé a hacer el fondo, para ello coloque 6 tonos de azul con un pincel duro y utilice un desenfoque radial con algunos ajustes que me dieron este resultado tan bonito, el fondo quedo bastante bien a mi gusto asi que continue pintando.

I made my sketch and I really liked how it turned out, it looked very nice but my idea was to do it in the form of a silhouette so I only used the features that I had made to illuminate them later, I started applying a very dark blue throughout the silhouette and in a new one layer apply some lighting, this also helps to shape the character that was already quite dark, I was a bit uncomfortable to continue working with the gray background so I started to make the background, for this I placed 6 shades of blue with a hard brush and use a radial blur with some adjustments that gave me this beautiful result, the background was quite good to my liking so I continued painting.

Decidí pintar unas luces detrás, no se solo quise probar y me gusto como quedo, para el corazón use de base un tono azul cielo, en una nueva capa agregue algunos destellos de luz dentro del corazón para darle un poco mas de magia y aplique un poco mas de iluminación y saturacion.

I decided to paint some lights behind, idk, I just wanted to test how it look it and I liked how it turned out, for the heart I used a sky blue tone as the base, in a new layer add some light flashes inside the heart to give it a little more magic and apply a little more lighting and saturation.

Final

Vi muchos ejemplos donde la mayoría de hechizos son simples y creo que asi es mejor de identificar a un dibujo con muchos elementos, espero que les guste mi entrada, hasta pronto!

I saw many examples where most of the spells are simple and I think that this is better to identify compared to a drawing with many elements, I hope you like my entry, see you soon!
