The Art Style:

I love the new Rebellion Artstyle. Everything is more polished and the character designs are well thought through. For example, look at this "goblin mafia boss". Man this character design looks dangerous!

it doesn't have an official name yet, but im shure goblin mafia boss is already a really close guess!😁

I am very excited to see all the new Cards in a few weeks.

Now let`s jump to work and do a fanart in my style.

Lets take a look at the Illustration Process:

The first sketch i do is always very rough. It is a guideline for me what shape and proportions my character will have.

In the second step i work on a clean sketch adding all characteristics and accessories. This two steps makes it easy to finish a clean and detailed lineart.

A clean Lineart makes it easy to fill in the color pallet in a new layer.

Now it's time for adding the shadows in a new painting layer. First working on big shapes then working on smaller ones and blend them all together.

At this point i start painting the background as a frame for the character design.

At last step the very important highlights and effects and textures are added and everything is polished with much care about details.
