Splinterlands Art Contest Week 272! SILVERSHIELD ASSASSIN

Ho! ho! ho! It is only less than a week now till Christmas, and art cannot be stop even during these holiday season. For this week's art contest of Splinterlands I chose Silvershield Assassin, i thought she was a very cool looking lady so that is why i chose her as my subject for this particular artwork! Although my design my differ from the original i hope i satisfy your eyes this time, also this is my first time entering the splinterlands art contest with different software in which, i used clipstudio paint this time around.

With that off we go to the art process...

The Assassins do not openly wear the insignia of the Order of the Silver Shield, for they take on the dirty work, the kind of work that is best forgotten after it is done. Armed with small jagged daggers and throwing knives, Silver Shield Assassins kill with the silence of a nightfall over the Khymeve Meadows. They never take prisoners. source : https://splinterlands.com/?p=card_details&id=216&gold=false&edition=3&tab=lore

Drawing Process of SILVERSHIELD ASSASSIN

• Materials/Software Used: XP PEN artist 12, Clip Studio Paint on Windows 11!

• First i draft her figure using shapes so that it is easier for me to imagine what is her pose. By the way i made the draft blue this time so i could easily separate later the lineart.
  

• Then again another rough draft of lines but it is clearer now, i envisioned a mysterious face with her hair covering more than half her face.
  

• Now a cleaner lineart tho from what i learned you don't need to use this lineart as the final you could still change it later on rendering part.
  

• I started coloring all the skin exposed and some part of the coat(which is green) and also her beautiful red hair and eyes. I also put a gray background so it easier to track if i miss some colors.
  

-Then gradually colors all the remaining clothes, i change the color slightly from the reference.

-Looks like i finished coloring all the base colors including her dagger. :)

• After that i merged all the layers and head on to rendering part which include highlights and shadows or shading process.
  

-After a long tiring process of correcting the colors and rendering since i am not used to clipstudio paint just yet. I also draw a splinterlands logo at the back. With that in mind , This is the final result! Hope you guys like it!
