REFERENCE CARD: LURKING PUFFER

Splinterlands weekly art contest, entry no. 1. I chose the luking puffer as a refference for my first entry becaue as a newbie in the games, I really like spamming earth elemet in battles, because its also the first element that I get to practice matches with. Lurking puffer is very useful in low mana cap since I use it in a line up with Moxian rebel, Chaos agent and obsidean as a summoner to get 6 total damage in a low mana cap battle. My artwork is called the sleeping puffer because when I was about to finish the arkwork I was so sleepy while doing it so I ahve to make it sleepy or sleeping too.

THE MATERIALS USED AND THE PROCESS

Materials used:

Pencil
Waterbased color pencils
Waterbased paint
Brushes
Sketchpad

Process:

When I was starting my entry for this week's art contest, I did not have any particular artstyle in mind. What I did was to sketch and initial outline for my art theme. I started with an initial sketch of how I want it to look and its placement within my sketchbook. The design is like the lurking puffer has came out of the card and is sleeping at the moment, as you can see in the image above I first outline the card as the the platform where the lurking puffer will be sitting on.

OUTLINE

The next step is to finalize ni outlines by erasing the unwanted lines and then tracing it with a black pen and then erase the remaining pencil marks to have a clean sheet to paint on. After finishing the outline, we can proceed to paint the first layer. This is really my first time that I put 100% percent of my commitment to finish a painted work, I didn't even know how to get the maroon color, I had to goole it... it need five parts of red paint mixed one part of blue paint and a bit of yellow to creat a slight brownish accent.

APPLYING FIRST LAYER PAINT

After adding the first laters if the colors, I still need to let the sheet dry. I already know that now waiting for the sketchpad sheet to dry, even though its thicker than a bond paper, it can still get ruin. One might ruin hours worth of hardwork and effort. When the paint has laready dried, it was time to add the shadows, highlights and incorporate details in the paintings. Well I did my best to that it wont look flat.😅

SHADOWS, HIGHLIGHTS AND DETAILS

After being satisfied with the shadows and hightlights the has been applied, I proceed with the last step (or the last step that I did) tracing back the outline of the drawing to make it "pop" and look more cartoonish. And here again is the my entry for this week's splinterlands weekly art contest.

Still luking or is it now a sleeping puffer?

I hope that you guys like my entry for this week's splinterlands art contest. Good Luck to all entries! Thank you so much for taking your time in looking into my blog, until next time, take care and see ya!
