KOBOLD MINER
Kobold Miner : Hehehe let's dive into the process of making the art.

Process in making the Digital Art:
• To begin with, like I always do in my previous posts, I do a rough sketch of the character. I find the face a little peculiar, so first I sketch the face base on the card, its in the upper left corner in this sketch. Just copy the design base on the card. Next on the upper right I tweak some features in his face. Third in the lower left corner, I stylized the face of the character. And finally the last sketch where I am happy with how it looks.
•Second in the process is take that sketch and define its outline. We could also say an inking process but digitally.
•Third in the process is adding Mask Layer underneath the outline.
•Fourth, adding Shadows. This is my favorite part on my process. Just a grayscale output.
•Fifth, with a multiply layer on top, add your local colors. In this case I put like a pinkish color for the body, green colors in the clothes, brown and gray on the pickle axe.
•Sixth, this is only my own preference. I add an overlay layer on top of the character to lighten up its color. And also add color to the background for clarity. Shadows underneath his feet.
•Just slowy add overlay on top of another overlay layer.
•Seventh, render the colors to your heart's content.
•Adjust some color quality, brighten up your character.
•Finally, I add some border and Splinterlands Logo for finishing touch. That's it we're done!
