Prunda Undervesch - Splinterlands Art Contest 276
Heya Hive !!
I have just completed my participation for Splinterlands Art Contest. This time, I chose a mermaid. I wanted to try out some things, and besides...
It's been a while since I did one of these, since I drew the two mermaids together a couple of times. But, well, I really like mermaids, so I didn't miss the opportunity to try again with one of these characters.
I didn't find specific details about this character, but besides being Common and sharing two Splinters, it's a Life summoner. Beyond that, I couldn't find the lore. I need to do a bit of research, but well, you probably already know her; she's one of the new characters from Rebellion. If you happen to know the lore, don't hesitate to share!
I made this character in Corel Painter and Photoshop, half and half. Actually, the combination of both programs has been working for me so far.
Each program has its own thing, so I benefit from some of those features, and well, I haven't read the Corel guide. I haven't had time for it, but even though it's a bit old, it offers some good stuff.
I just have to read more than 1000, including the guide and the help, to figure out how to do it.

So, I decided to start this drawing by envisioning an environment like a cave from the inside, with rocks and waterfalls. I drew some initial lines to outline the main shapes and angles that would serve as the base for everything else.
After having the structure, the next step was to place the character. Well, actually, it was just a smudge without much detail, simply to capture the silhouette of the mermaid's position. I wanted to adjust the canvas size, so I made a small tweak when the drawing was more advanced to keep it the same size.

I have mixed feelings about the green or blue skin, hahaha. When I started with the character, I think my head didn't realize that the girl was that color, and I used a different color. So, later, with some adjustments and color overlay, I changed the base color to this
I wasn't going to leave her naked, so, looking at the character reference, I started putting on the outfit the girl would wear. I also made some adjustments to the background; it looked very blue before. I have nothing against blue, but it shouldn't be that blue here.

As I progressed, I started detailing things a bit more and accentuating the blue colors of the mermaid's skin a little, as it lacked more intensity in that. Besides, it had some small spots and gradients mmmm well, I would work on that later.
There were several things to improve and detail a bit more. At first, I wanted to make it less detailed, perhaps like the Lord I did last week, but then I decided to add a bit more detail. Oh! And fix some mistakes, like the arm.
To finish this drawing, among other things, I had to do the face—leaving it for last again? Well, I did a bit in previous steps but not as much as I should have to finish that. Also, I needed to improve the background, work on the water, the staff, and other things. Some adjustments with colors, shadows, highlights, and more. It was ready!
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work.

Amazing work😍
thanks dear Deddy
This week's champion can be confirmed, you are the 1st winner😘
😅😅😅😅😅
Are you going to do something for "The Holozing Healer"? I saw it when they posted it, and I was thinking of drawing something and then leave it in the comments? hmmm its ok?
ohhh btw Congratulations, on the previous one!
Yes, I also made a post for the zingtoken game contest, yes I also made a post in the comments column, I also don't know how they judge and it's not like Splinterlands which goes live every week, and this zingtoken besides voting you will also be able to transfer hive, zing tokens in the zing games account and also posh tokens which will be sent after the winner is announced.
Yes, thank you, to be honest, I was surprised to win the previous contest ha ha.
Your work for zing is very good, I think you could be a candidate for champion in this contest too😊
Ohhh great! So, I'll work on it. Thank you very much for the help!
I didn't know about that one, but I saw yours, and it looked cool! Also, I envy your lines hahahha. I really love the precision you have, marvelous!
Yes, you're welcome☺ I'm happy to be able to help, yes, because my artwork is not as cool as yours, I have to highlight the concept of what I created in my work through explanatory text so that there is an idea of what this character should look like ha.ha.ha.
I think maybe this time the contest is yours😁
Ahahaahh no no no, none of that! You don't know how difficult it is for me to draw a straight line for lineart ahahaha, that's why I decided not to do lines! Your lines are beautiful🤩, the expression of the character, perspective ---- Your creations are very good with or without explanation!
We'll see what I do, ahaha.
ha...ha..ha I thought my explanation was good but it turned out to be line art in my artwork, sorry I don't understand😄, yes because maybe that's the part I enjoy most in making work, but one day I want to be able to draw realistically just like you made ha.ha.
Sometimes people are never satisfied, right?😁
Ahahaha, I was half asleep last night! Just saw what you've done today. I'll be working on my design too.
Great! Just gradually reduce the lines or practice doing it without lines.
Yeah, hahaahh it's true. I like what I do, but I also admire those who create ink-style drawings or something like anime. Those lines would drive me crazy, hahaha. I don't know how to do them, so I appreciate it. Although I heard from someone who uses an iPad that it greatly improves the lines, but doing them like I do on a tablet without even a screen, ufff
Yes, someone said the same to me, just reduce the thickness and opacity of the lines and it will look more realistic, but for me it's not that easy😄, yes, even though we both like drawing, everyone has their own interests and styles.
I'm comfortable with Marvel's comic style and you enjoy the digital painting style.
I also sometimes envy other people's style models, but if we keep comparing, we forget to create, right?😊.
Yes, maybe don't be half asleep but you have to actually fall asleep so that when you wake up I'm sure you will produce extraordinary work😊.
I'm waiting for your work which amazes my eyes😊
And that's also what made me switch from my Intuos 4 tablet to a Wacom screen, because it was very complicated to synchronize hand movements on the pad to the computer monitor screen, it made me half crazy because it didn't work as naturally as drawing on paper🥲
That's a cool style! Really good!
Omg, yes! That's terrible. I remember when I used a tablet for the first time 😱🤯 and it took me like 15 days to do a simple portrait because I didn't know Photoshop either. The feeling was awful lol coming from working on physical paper and thennnn nothing, haha. I had a Wacom but I ran out of pen nibs. Now I have another one, even though it doesn't have a screen, it's easier to use due to habit. I just look at the pc. The good thing is that my neck or back don't hurt anymore it used to happen when I drew for long hours 😣
Yes, the Wacom screen is stiffer when drawing for a long time compared to a tablet where we only move our hands but our eyes look at the monitor so we prefer to use a mouse but the weakness is not natural😁
Great artwork! Good luck!

We have a winner this week! This is amazing work Yanes🤩🤩🤩. The textures on her clothes looks fantastic. This is definitely one of your best work 👏👏👏.
Ahahahaha @deddywox said the same, but who knows, we'll see. If I win, you'll give me signals for the lottery with more money, lol.
Thanks, my dear friend! It makes me very happy that you saw it. In fact, it seems to me that it's one of the best. It makes me proud, ahahah, because I did several different things in this one. By the way, I used the same brush, but mostly the one from Photoshop
I only see that good work will definitely get the best place😁I'm not a fortune teller especially for a lottery😄.
I don't like how Photoshop works to produce work with comic style line art like me, yes Photoshop is more suitable for those of you who use digital painting techniques.
For me, Clip Studio Paint is still the best for me, the Gpen brush work for line art is very good, just with a little customization and calibration with my Wacom😊
Well, that's a good point!! Although I don't play the lottery either, so I guess I won't win either, hahahaha.
Oh no! They use it, I've seen some who create very good lines there. These two guys, friends, work with lines. @inu-jim uses Illustrator, although he hardly posts now, he told me that it's good for that type of line work.
@ferjart, from what he has shown me, also uses PS, his lines are good, so I think it can be done.
Another friend who is also here used ClipStudio, she made tattoos and also said it was very good. Each program offers something and has its charm, hahaha. The good thing is that you/me / everyone feel comfortable

Yes, it's true, perhaps the point is not whether we can or cannot use the software to create what work, but rather whether we are comfortable using the software, either the tools or the interface of the program.
Yes, it's all good, the important thing is to never get tired of making work and enjoy the process of making it, that's what's valuable😁
I'm a little bit sad that I couldn't see this in high resolution. Peakd compress images after upload so there is a loss in quality. I noticed that if image size is greater than or equal to 5 then it will get compressed.
Ohhh really. I was thinking that but I thought I was crazy, hahaha. Now I see I'm not.
It does diminish the quality a bit. Since the image is quite large.
I use dotphoto app from playstore to comprehend image under 5mb without reducing the quality. Try it.
What a marvellous work of art! Those pink colours in contrast with the background, the face of the mermaid but although I like everything the sceptre is super wonderful!!! Great work, super wonderful, I congratulate you!❤️❤️❤️
Awwww dear Amonet! u r ao cute! Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Your kind words mean a lot to me! ❤️
I love those details, you are a formidable artist, you really are!😃

Este lo hice en corel y PS, ando entre los dos programa porque PS me llama ahaha, no , si no que hay cosas que hago mas facil en Ps porque los atajos y como hacerlas y en corel aun no, de hecho me pasa que tiendo a presionar los ajatos que uso en PS mientas estoy en Corel y no se que hacen aun ahah, no ha pasado nada malo pero no se que hancen.
Si ! si hay video, muchos de hecho, lo grabe en partes por lo de la electricidad, tipo, media hora , guardo, otro poco mas y guardo,🤣😨🤯😬 es fastidioso pero pierdo menos , aunque perdi una pequeña parte, tomara tiempo editarlo , esta en cola hahhha
