Splinterlands Art Contest Week 228! | Xander Foxwood

What's up, Hive and Splinterlands? I've been busy lately, so my daily drawings have turned into weekly posts. The character (or summoner) I chose to create a fanart of is Xander Foxwood. Somehow, he reminded me of General Eugene from Sword Art Online - Alfheim. You know, the one who fought toe to toe with Kirito the Spriggan. I tried to draw Xander in a more intimidating style, which is a semi-anime and semi-realistic version. I also intended to use darker tones than the original, which is somewhat cartoonish.

Kumusta Hive at Splinterlands? Busy ako kaya naging weekly posts na lang ang daily drawings ko. Si Xander Foxwood yung character o summoner na ginawa kong fanart. Parang siya si General Eugene sa Sword Art Online - Alfheim na lumaban ng halos pantay kay Kirito na Spriggan. Sinubukan kong gawing mas nakakatakot si Xander sa pamamagitan ng semi-anime at semi-realistic na version. Gusto ko rin gamitin ang mas maitim na kulay kaysa sa orihinal na medyo mukhang cartoon.

Anyway here is the drawing process...

It's crucial to initially establish the appropriate position while generating lineart through a preliminary draft. The muddy draft may need to go through several revisions and erasures, but once it is finished, you can trace over it to get a cleaner and more polished lineart.

Mahalaga na mabuo muna ang tamang posisyon habang gumagawa ng lineart gamit ang preliminary draft. Kailangan maaaring magdaan sa ilang pagbabago at pagtanggal ng bahagi ang madumi o magulo na draft, pero kapag tapos na ito, pwede mo itong i-trace upang makuha ang mas malinis at mas polished na lineart.

I like to begin darkening the subject with a mid-grey color. This acts as a foundation layer and enables simple coloring adjustment using a clip mask. This method makes sure that the colors won't blend together or go too far outside of the desired locations.

Gusto ko simulan ang pagshade sa subject gamit ang mid-grey na kulay. Ito ay nagiging foundation layer at nagpapadali sa pagaadjust ng kulay gamit ang clip mask. Sa paraang ito, siguradong hindi magmi-mix ang kulay o lalagpas sa pwesto nito.

Then after that i just started coloring the base colors starting with Xander's skin, hair , clothes then the weapon.

I have started painting the wings and have lowered the opacity to make them look like a fairy's wings that are translucent.

Now this is the Final Result

Thanks for visiting my artworks, hope you guys are doing fine!
