Hi My All Friends!
I am really excited to participate in the Splinterlands Art Contest for Week 341! This week, I am submitting my hand-drawn color pencil & watercolor painting of Merdaali Guardian, a fanart piece inspired by a Splinterlands game card.
I had a great time creating this artwork and bringing this powerful Merdaali Guardian to life with color pencil & watercolors. I hope you all like it!
Merdaali Guardian
The Merdaali Guardians are a noble group committed to protecting all sea life and do not pay much attention to the affairs of people and the land. They are graceful to behold, often adorning themselves with shining jewelry. They prefer pacifism to conflict and are adept at healing and helping others through their connection to magic. However, when the Chaos Legion came to the Splinterlands, they swore to use their magic to protect what they hold most dear.
