Hello everyone and friends😁
How's life going? Hope you have a productive day.
I'd like to share to you my Art entry of the weekly contest in Splinterlands. You could join the Contest by clicking this LINK HERE
For this week I choose to do a fan art of Scorch Fiend. I had fun on designing my own approach to this character.
I hope you like it😌
Tools I use:
1. Laptop

Digital Art Creation Process
STEP 1
Sketching > Lines
At the start of the process, I am thinking of a word play coming from the character's name.
Scorch = Burn, Flame or Heat
Fiend = Evil Spirit or Demon
I go for something like a fire spirit with some rock armor.
I did a very rough sketch for the pose and the idea that I will be creating. Starting with the pose I also think of making it's silhouette a very simply one, to make it more recognizable.
From there, I sketch the forms and shapes of the character which I give it simple and complex design form.
Then, clean up those lines to have a clear readability.
STEP 2
Coloring
At the start of coloring I fill it in local color of the armor. And lock those pixels.
Add a layer for the base color.
Add another layer set it to multiply and by using gradient tool brush in a dark color for his armor.
Next, add the darker shadows. Pick a darker gray color and set that layer to multiply.
Also do it to the parts of the flame. Set layer to multiply and brush in some shadow.
Here I add another layer and set it to overlay. Pick some color around the white and brush in to add highlights and textures.
In here I add a glow from top and another bounce lights.
Finally, Color balancing and add ground where the character stands.
That's it we're done!
