Today, I present to you a new digital art work which is my entry for splinterlands art contest week 198 organized by @splinterlands.

It's really been a while I participated in this contest and It feels good to participate again after coming back with the one I did last week. The character I worked on this time is known as "Lir Deepswimmer".

This character is said to be a sea god which possesses water magical power. He is believed to be the strongest water summoner and he gives both a shield and an extra improvement on that shield.

In this piece, I changed his posture and his dressing style. I also made him look a bit mild, young, fresh and feminine - as he poses with his two hands streched to invoke his powers.

This is beautiful Marcus! I feel like there is a sort of medieval look to your style of drawing, and I think it is absolutely wonderful. It looks like something you would see in a stained glass window. Top notch work!

Medieval look? Yeah, a kind of...and I love the style.
Thank you for your kind words.

Yes! My initial thought was that it reminded me of stained glass windows from medieval churches that I saw in Europe. It is absolutely lovely.
