Kulu Swimhunter | SPT W-376 | Splinterlands Art Contest, Digital Art

Hello, how are you all, my friends hive community?

I hope you're all doing well and are always blessed in life 😊

This is my 152nd post since I entered the weekly art contest hosted by @Splinterlands.

Here I drawing the character Kulu Swimhunter from the Splinterlands Kulu Swimhunter card game.

I drawing this character because he resembles the Thing from Marvel, and is also a fusion of the kraken.

I made this character emerge from the water, wrapping his tentacles around fish, seeking prey.

You can also see water droplets all over Kulu Swimhunter's body, indicating his emergence from the water.

The setting is also midnight with dark clouds and moonlight in the night air.

And I'm very happy to be able to participate and draw Splinterlands characters to practice my illustration skills.

Overall, creating Splinterlands fan art is always fun, as there are so many characters to create fanart about.

For the coloring, I used an American comic strip style.

This time, I didn't have a goal in mind, as just participating in the @splinterlands character drawing competition was already incredibly cool in my opinion.

And congratulations to the top 3 winners and the other winners 🥰😘🕺👑👏💃🥳

Thanks also to my friends in the Hive community, the curators, and the other artists who always support my work.

I created this work in 5.5 hours, with 2 hours for line sketching and 3.5 hours for coloring and finishing.
