Splinterlands Art Contest - Week 261 - Centauri Mage

Hello there, good people. I'd say another week means another entry for the Splinterlands Art Contest and I'm all for it - yet another incentive to practice and develop new art skills and try out different styles.

As you've seen, this week I decided to go all out with another completely different style than I have previously done.

The coloring/shading might be less varied compared to my previous works, but I really like the new vibrant colors used in this piece overall.

Line Art

The line art is entirely different from the monotonous thin lining I used to do in my previous entries and I feel like it gives this work more of a stylized feeling than the others - like it belongs to an indie videogame or something.

Coloring

For coloring, I decided to put aside the linear gradient shading and instead use flat colors for different shades - I still did some shading here and there, but I mostly stuck to using solid colors to avoid making too much shading and deviating from the style I chose in the beginning.

The Result

And here's the result as you've seen in the first pic. I chose that background for here since the color matches the other colors used in the work, and it looks like a few brush marks that fortify the feeling of this piece being a stylized artwork.

Original Card Art

Anyways, this was this week's entry for the Splinterlands Art Contest. Hope you enjoyed it, tell me what you think about it, and I wish you all a lovely Friday.
Cheers~~
