River Nymph - Splinterlands Fan Art

Now that I've change my expression in art, I've decided to make the best in pixelation. A 100×100 pixel art that could definitely change the ambience of @Splinterlands community. This art is produced using Pixelart app. I want to give a new taste and River Nymph has been selected for a watery art again for this week's competition! Congratulations winners for the past competition and I'm so very proud because I'm one of them!

The Card Used as Inspiration and Reference

Lore

River Nymphs inhabit the rivers of the Splinterlands. Shy and reclusive, they usually remain hidden beneath the water's surface. However, they have a strong respect for life, and they have been known to aid those in need. They are also fiercely protective of their homes and will defend it if it is threatened.

The Process

All Steps in 3 Phases

Phase 1

In this part I just make a rough sketch. But I started to put 1 small circle to be my guide. It's all about pixel art so everything is done using tiny blocks. It's also the initiation of adjusting the facial expressions.

Phase 2

The smooth coloring was applied here. Then adding some attributes that are not seen in the first sketch. I started to make some changes of color for the other duplicated frames to give some twinkling and animated effects.

Phase 3

The excellent part starts here. To give an animated and dynamic effect there should be changes for each frame to create movements. The waves are changed every frame. The emphasis was given through lifted hand with a water power effect because River Nymph is from the water element. It has water because that is the significance of her identity!

Final Art Converted in GIF

The final GIF is the compilation of all frames. It makes the art into a moving image. The art is amazing!
