Splinterlands Art Contest Week 241! DARKEST MAGE

Hello, everyone. I hope everything in your life is going well.

I am a crazy artist that enjoys creating humans, monsters, and aliens in wacky digital illustrations.😁

The tools I used to create this art are Illustrator and Photoshop.

I've selected DARKEST MAGE for this entry.

The tools I used to create this art are Illustrator and Photoshop.

We may start outlining our character after we have a general idea of the finished output. Once the character design is complete, we may add extra details by drawing small lines and casting shadows.

When the outline step was completed, I used swatches to keep track of my colours when colouring in Illustrator. When I've done colouring the base colours, I apply swatches to add brilliance by modifying the foundation colours, such as light and dark.

Let's go on to the background area. Then, we design the backdrop, then colour it, and ultimately, match the backdrop to the character. While designing the background, make sure that the lighting positions match those of your character.

This is the ingredient that gives our artwork life. emitted shadows

This is the ingredient that breathes life into our artwork. The characters' shadows are emphasised and blended first, and then backdrop lighting is employed to enhance the characters' lighting and shadows.

Once the method is finished, we aggregate all of the layers, duplicate the group, and then conceal the copy to protect the original from being lost. We also modify the supplied radiance.
To form an object, we use the camera raw filter to mix and add more colours to the group.

Reference!

The workflow is depicted in the screenshot below.

Here are the final outcomes

Thank you for sticking with me until the end. Please provide feedback on what you think of my artwork.

I'll see you all again in another post.
