Splinterlands Art Contest | Pyrewatch Devil

Greetings everyone, hope you're all doing great ✨️

It's that time of the week again when I get to draw a splinterlands character in my style. To be honest, I was a bit confused about what to draw for this round but I chose the Prewatch Devil. First I love horns and I haven't done any digital art with horns in a long time, I've always wanted to draw this card in my style but I felt it would be too hard for me to chose the right pose and actually pull it off the way I want. But then again, art is all about experimenting, practicing and learning from mistakes so here we are...

Process
As always, sketching is the first thing to do and I got that done but it took a while, the right hidden hand kept looking weird which I totally expected because I've never done it in this pose. I layed flat colours for her skin, hair and clothes, she looked okay at this point, nothing special. I went ahead and painted her facial features, horn and a flat colour for the fire behind her. I knew from the beginning that I didn't want eyeballs so I just picked yellow colour for her eyes. I knew my choice of outfit would look too simple so I painted in the long scarf wrapped around her waist, it looked good...

For details, I started by painting shadows and highlights on her skin, I also added more details and colours to the fire. I then went in with her clothing, it was fast because because I didn't do too much, I put little fire reflections on the long flying scarf too. The horns still looked flat so I added a little bit of red and white and also painted the metal ring on it. I painted more strands and colours on her hair before adding some glow, I put some fire glow on her face, around her eyes, neck, chest and hands with a plain background. Overall I can say I love how the fire looks because I really struggle with it, this card was ready fun to paint and I know this won't be my last attempt, will definitely do it again....
