Splinterlands Art Contest || Week 170 || Changed the appearance of ZYVAX VUUL to.......

Are you surprised by that picture? If so, congratulations you are not the first to experience this. I'm also a little surprised every time I want to edit the draft for this post.

Oops, I almost forgot. Welcome back to my Splinterlands Weekly Art Contest Post, which I haven't participated in for a few weeks. 3 weeks (I just checked) after my last participation in this contest, it turns out that some interesting things have happened.

^{here's the actual thumbnail}

One of them is that @silverhorn won This Contest for the third time (and now he is aiming for a fourth win. LINK). Another interesting thing that I just discovered is that it is allowed to genderbend, like what @anikekirsten (one of the contest winners in the 168th week edition) did with Lord of Fire. And this is where my desire to make something almost the same as @anikekirsten is even bigger.

Previously, I also thought about making something like that (the reason was after I watched the clip showing one of the holoX members), but I had doubts and decided to draw something else.

^{Source : Hololive website || It was she who made me want to change the character from @splinterlands (Monster) to a human girl (even though my drawing level is still amateur 😭)}

Character Selection

The first character that I changed (to be used as an experiment) was ZYVAX VUUL. The reason I chose this character was love at first sight maybe because his pose looks different from the other dragons. And I want to know also how the result of the change from Dragon to Human Girl.

Actually there is another character who is a candidate for this plan of mine, namely Byzantine Kitty. But because Byzantine Kitty looks more girly, I decided to make her the second candidate.

Drawing Process

I started the process about last week and only finished it last Tuesday. the reason why the process took so long was not because I made the drawings more detailed, but rather I was busy writing other things and sometimes the Mood for drawing was lost in the middle.

It was a rough sketch of the human girl version of ZYVAX VUUL. You can see a change in the pose on the sketch which was originally like the picture on the left to be like the next 2 sketches. The reason I changed it, you guys already know it (for those of you who have read every post of my Artwork).

I also made 2 mode of ZYVAX VUUL human girl version, 1 version when in Rage/Crazy mode and another when in Normal mode

In the process, I decided to change her eyes and expression when she is in Crazy mode also removed her wings. The reason for changing eyes and Expressions is to save layer usage (you can see in the image below on the left). While the reason for removing the wings is because I feel the wings don't match with the image of the character I made.

FINISHING

Another reason why I'm taking so long to finish this is that I'm confused about which filter is appropriate to make my Artwork look cool so I spend a lot of time choosing filter (even though to me they all look good)

After going through a long process, I finally chose these 2 images as the final result. Although I've also saved many other versions of these 2 images (which use a combination of multiple Filters)

Before heading to the end, I want to say something. Since I've already saved multiple versions of the 2 images (using various combinations of filters available in Ibis Paint X), I want to make them NFT. However, the original image size is only 1400px X 1400px (the size of the final result I show here is about 450px X 750px)

Does any of you have any ideas, where I should sell it (as an NFT) other than here? and give the reason also in the comments.

^{a little peek at some variations (using filters) from my 2 artworks}

That was the final result of the Artwork I entered in Weekly Art Contest #170 hosted by @splinterlands. And the one that will be sacrificed in my next participation is BYZANTINE KITTY (or maybe you guys have an idea about what monster I should turn into a human girl, you can write in the comments)

And thank you to all of you who have visited, read, upvoted, re-blog, and commented on this post. See you in my next participation post....
