Mana Warden - Splinterlands Art Contest Week
Welcome everyone, I hope you are well. Two days ago I started the weekly art contest of the Splinterlands world, what I started was to go exploring the catalog of cards that has this great game, among the many options, looking for one that I really liked to participate, I found one in the collection of Promo of the splinter of life that has as name Mana Warden.
Next, I am going to share with you the fascinating story behind Mana Warden.
Bienvenidos a todos, espero que se encuentren bien. Hace dos dias empezo el concurso semanal de arte del mundo de Splinterlands, lo que comence fue a ir explorando el catalogo de cartas que posee este gran juego, entre las numerosas opciones, buscando aquella que realmente me gustara para poder por participar, me encontré una en la coleccion de Promo del splinter de vida que tiene como nombre Mana Warden.
A continuación, les voy a compartir la fascinante historia detrás de Mana Warden.
"Fallin Enderbeard, a hill dwarf from a small hamlet in the Kingdom of Lyveria, is both a renowned priest and a formidable warrior. When Wilhelmdale rose against the Chaos Empire, he led his clansfolk to the city’s defense. He conjured protective barriers of fire and life to shield the rebels from the legion’s magical attacks and artillery. With his warhammer in hand, Fallin fought through the enemy’s ranks, ultimately striking down their commander, a decisive blow that led to the legion’s defeat."
"Fallin Enderbeard, un enano de las colinas de una pequeña aldea del Reino de Lyveria, es un sacerdote de renombre y un guerrero formidable. Cuando Wilhelmdale se alzó contra el Imperio del Caos, lideró a su clan en la defensa de la ciudad. Conjuró barreras protectoras de fuego y vida para proteger a los rebeldes de los ataques mágicos y la artillería de la legión. Con su martillo de guerra en la mano, Fallin se abrió paso entre las filas enemigas, abatiendo finalmente a su comandante, un golpe decisivo que condujo a la derrota de la legión."
I started exploring different visual references until I found one that really caught my attention. My goal was to integrate in a single creation the key features I had in mind, achieving a fusion between the reference and the card I chose called Mana Warden.
Once I found the ideal image, I started the creative process, adapting and transforming each feature to fit the story and the personality of the protagonist of the post. After approximately 7 hours the work finally came to life. I hope you enjoy the images I developed artistically of the character.
Comencé explorando distintas referencias visuales hasta hallar una que realmente captara mi atención. Mi objetivo era integrar en una sola creación las características clave que tenía en mente, logrando una fusión entre la referencia y la carta que escogi llamada Mana Warden.
Una vez encontrada la imagen ideal, inicié el proceso creativo, adaptando y transformando cada rasgo para ajustarlo a la historia y la personalidad del protagonista del post. Tras aproximadamente 7 horas la obra finalmente cobró vida. Espero que disfruten las imágenes que desarrollo artístico del personaje .
Process
In the initial part of the sketch, I started by making several guide lines until I reached a resemblance with the reference image I had chosen. To continue with the coloring stage and apply the shadows combining several colors.
In the coloring stage I applied a different style to what I'm used to and the result I liked especially the face and then continue with the beard and go applying depth to each strand of the beard and hair and then continue with the clothing of the character.
En la parte inicial del boceto, comencé realizando varias líneas guía hasta alcanzar una semejanza con la imagen de referencia que había escogido. Para seguir con la etapa del coloreado e ir aplicando las sombras combinando varios colores.
En la etapa del coloreado aplique un estilo distinto a lo que estoy acostumbrado y el resultado me gusto en especial el rostro para luego seguir con la barba e ir aplicando profundidad a cada mechon de la barba y el cabello para luego seguir con la vestimenta del personaje.

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.
