Hello everybody ! C: im thisnewgirl aaaand this is day 17 of my personal daily pixelart challenge, although I can't always do it daily on the days I can't come up with any idea, I usually doodle and silhouette, or just go for long walks... the hardest part of the long challenge is, imagining, so I try to detox my mind from social media and just go see .... green things? touching grass? walking a lot usually helps even if it leaves me exhausted.
the little parakeet has been absorbing a lot of my time, and my heart, heart melted by a parakeet, he is more sociable now, I must take care to change his bandage every day, task that is not easy at all because with his little nuggets he pushes himself to run away and avoid being bandaged, although he does not like it I must do it so that his wing improves and with some luck he becomes functional?

Having a winged friend around I wanted to make a fanart for the splinterlands weekly challenge C: in which i got the second place last week!!! yay! it certainly makes me very happy!!! You have to see the other artists participating and why not? participate too if you like to explore a little creativity, here is the link to the contest:

inspiration :

This was the card I decided to choose, in my opinion is very badass the character of this card and I really wanted to make a fanart, the basis for today was:

• wings
• beach day
• splinterland

lets start!

Ok, this was tricky, I haven't drawn characters lying down before, I feel like it's just as tricky as drawing characters sitting down, if you do it wrong it can just look like an awkward or weird and unnatural position so .... give it a try XD
( i hopes this looks like hes chilling)

base color for the skin color ! its a yellowish shade

Now we add some shadows

so the skin doesnt look that ... weird, its a beach day so, the color must be on those shades of yellow/orange, warm colors, did some base color in the pants

more shadow for the skin in another layer

ok XD there was so much going on in my head when i got to this point

I don't usually draw male figures, I'm more used to draw female figures, but I still decided to take a risk and go ahead with the drawing... I was between an uncomfortable crossroads where I didn't want to make him super muscular, so I did what I could with the shadows and different tones of the skin.

started shaping one of the wings i needed for this character, and while doing so i laughed bc dude looks like some kind of badass link

added some shadow color for the wing

details in purple and gray C: to actually shape those feathers

duplicated the wings and voila!

i also worked on the background details, a beach umbrella (? a towel something to drink and so on

did a funky pattern for the towel

added a palm tree, and also sand

and lastly ! the sea! C: i also worked on the animation by hand to get this final result !

these are my frames :

For the animation I wanted to make the sea move behind the character so I previously left everything in separate layers, the main character is in one layer (with all the shadows and bases attached before the animation) and the things that are in the background are separated. Besides the movement of the sea, I wanted to make the animation of the breeze in the movement of some leaves of the palm tree and in the little strands of hair sticking out, the hardest part was to make everything match in a perfect loop.

thanks for being part of this adventure C: any concept design idea that can come to your mind, leave it in the comments ! i might take a look to your proposal and draw it the next time C: ill take it as a challenge, also ! important : this month i will open 2 slots for pixelart commissions, soooo! if you have somthing in mind, and want something special/ personalized being done, you know where to contact me, take care yall ! drink water and we read each other in the next blog ! bye byeee!
