ADELADE BRIGHTWING | Splinterlands Art Contest Week 283!

ADELADE BRIGHTWING



Greetings to the SPLINTERLANDS COMMUNITY! How is everyone? I'm excited this week as I've joined the Splinterlands Art Contest Week 283! For this week, I chose to draw ADELADE BRIGHTWING, a Life Legendary Monster, which is one of my favorites in battles due to her abilities. To kick off my fan art, I looked for angel images on Google for inspiration. I also took ADELADE BRIGHTWING's image from the Splinterlands official website to use as a reference. So, enough with the long story, let's start the process of creating my fan art from beginning to end.

PROCESS

SKETCHING TO BASE COLOR
Once I had many ideas in mind, I quickly sketched using the DIP PEN (HARD) in IBISPAINTX with a canvas size of 2500x2500 for faster drawing. After sketching, I added a new layer on top, set it to MULTIPLY, and reduced the sketch opacity to 50 for a cleaner base to work with. I then started refining and cleaning the sketch on this new layer. I used the BUCKET TOOLS for the base color to make coloring easier.

SKIN, HAIR AND CLOTHES RENDERING

On another layer above the base color, I began adding shadows to the face and skin using the AIRBRUSH. I used the MULTIPLY LAYER for hard shadows and the COLOR DODGE layer for light shadows. I also worked on the eyes and eyebrows. At this point, I didn't merge the layers yet. I added details, then moved on to the hair, using the HAIR BRUSH in IBISPAINTX on a new layer to start rendering. I still picked colors from the ADELADE BRIGHTWING reference. After the hair, I detailed her clothing using the airbrush and eraser for the desired texture. Once satisfied with the semi-realistic appearance, I merged the layers.

ILLUSTRATION OF BACKGROUNDS

After merging, I started working on the background. I chose a black base color and slowly colored it with white and blue to create a cloud-like effect. I used the BUCKET TOOLS for the background base color and the BASIC CLOUDS (REAL) brush (free in IBISPAINTX, with ads) haha. I went for this background as I associate angels with ADELADE BRIGHTWING.

That concludes my story. I hope you enjoyed the processes I shared and gained some new insights. I'm Noblebright for this week. Thank you for reading and supporting me. Bye for now!
