What's up Splinterlanders!

I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for the Splinterlands Art Contest by drawing my favorite monster, the amazing Furious Chicken.

This is a chicken that means business. She's ticked off and ready for a fight.

In the game, I love how useful this card is while it seems so unassuming.

Let's dive into the art! I hope you enjoy it!

Materials/Tools

This is a Digital art piece.

For the drawing/speed paint video, I used:

• iPad Pro, 12.9 inch, 2nd generation
• Apple Pencil
• Procreate

I created the final thumbnail video/gif in Canva.

Process

1. I roughed out a sketch of using the Furious Chicken Lore page on splinterlands.com for reference using the Procreate Pencil to sketch on it's own layer.
2. I inked my rough sketch using the technical inking pen in Procreate in a new layer
3. I laid down a blue background and filled in some base color on the chicken after duplicating my inked layer.
4. I added shadows and highlights using an air brush and layer blend settings.
5. I created the background to draw the attention in toward the awesome Furious Chicken.

To create the Gif, I exported the timelapse video of the drawing to video and sent that, the final drawing PNG, and a PNG without the background to my computer.

I uploaded the files to canva created my thumbnail, followed by the video, followed by a few sections of the final image.
