Greetings Hive Friends,
I hope you are all doing okay despite of what is happening on the market and the prices of crypto. I am your Mood booster 
For this week entry to the Splinterlands Fan art contest, I decided to create a fan art for the Common Earth unit Wood Nyphm.
Wood Nyphm
LORE
A peculiar new bud appeared at the tips of the highest branches of the Elder Tree. The animals living in the tree watched as the strange buds grew, and in a matter of days, burst open. From each bud zoomed forth a tiny sprite. These Wood Nymphs quickly scattered around Anumün in a frenzy of mischief.

My Art Process
Sketch And Outline
First thing I did was to create a rough Sketch base on the characteristic and appearance of Wood nymph and put some details on my idea that I am going to use for the background.
Then I outline and put details on the face and hairs I made it sure that I outlined everything properly because it will make my coloring process easier.
| Sketch | Outline |
|---|---|
 |  |
Coloring Process
Face
I always begin my coloring process from the face or from top to bottom process.
And for Adding details is From Dark to Light.
| Base color | Shadow | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
Upper body
This time I colored the upper part of the body same steps made from Above and from my other arts.
| Base Color | Shadowing | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
Lower Body
Then I colored the lower part of the body. In this set of pictures I did not include the Base color since it is already on the pictures of the upper body Process.
| Shadow | Highlights |
|---|---|
 |  |
Scarf
Then I proceed By coloring the Scarf. in creating this art This part is the most difficult part for me because I have to show the Texture of the scarf by adding highlihgts. I also added a different temporary background color in order for my highlights to be seen properly.
| Base | Shadow | Highlights & Texture |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
Hair
I made the coloring for the last because I will be using a different technique of coloring, To show the texture of the hair I need a different approach in coloring, Its hard to describe what is this technique but to give an Idea it's like the coloring technique on the anime characters.
| Shadow | Highlights & Texture |
|---|---|
 |  |
Now that Every details are done on my subject all I need is a background that will look like a forest. But before that I want you to take a look on the Summary of the Coloring Details. I Uploaded The layers separately in order for you to see the differences of each process I made.
Coloring Summary Full view of layers
Base color
This is the First colored I applied on my subject. you can see how plain it is without the outer two layers
Shadows
This is the Layer of the Shadows only. It may look like a charcoal painting, I think😅. Please give me the proper names to use in art haha.
Don't be confused, those white parts are not Highlights, Those are the parts that Are covered by the Base color and small portion of that is part of the hightlights.
Highlights
I made a temporary background color for this in order to show the Highlights that I made.
Background
Now for the Last part of my Art.
I made a background that look like a forest but I also made it blurred to. You can see that there is a shape at the middle, I made that to emphasized my subject.
Final Outcome
Now I am proud to share to you my Latest Splinterlands Fan Art creation for Wood Nymph.
