Okay, I'm being pretty productive this week. This is my third day in a row of drawing and posting and I am pretty proud of myself for it. Today I went with a wild card which is a Cocatrice card. I don't think I've ever seen anyone draw this one before. And if somebody did, I think this would ba among the rare cards that ever get the chance to see the light XD I think it's a funny card though.
Duration: 2 hours
Software: gopaint
So I put it in a bamboo forest because (1) it looks like a creature only Asia would come up with, and (2) I just thought the bamboo would look cute.
I loosely based off this one:
I just didn't make it as feathery as it should be. It probably molted in the entire duration that it kept running XD or at least that's what I would like to think XD
For the progress, I started this drawing without thinking of the background, really. Cuz you know on some days where I already know what to do with a background and then on some days, I just wing it? Well, this was one of those wing it days. I was more focused on my Cocatrice because this is the first time I tried drawing this and I wanted it to look like a chicken dragon at least because that's what it is XD
Then I d a bit of clean up and light shading. I didn't want to fully block this one in gray because I don't think this was meant to be fully gray like that.
But I didn't hold back on the shading and the little details though because I'm like that XD. I was actually sure on posting just this with the highlights but my man said it definitely needed a background, and that's ho settled on a bamboo forest background.
And that was the totally random story of this Cocatrice XD
I am happy with how it came out and maybe I'll try a more colored Cocatrice one of these days so it gets a bit more fan art. After today, I'll be working on mermay for a while so let's see how I incorporate my Splinterlands and holozing things into the prompt words. It's gonna be great training for inktober and sketchtember!
Well, that's all from me for today! I'll see you guys again soon? Hopefully I can maintain my streak? OwO But as always! Thank you for stopping by!
