Nerissa vs. Diemonshark

Hello everyone,

Last week Hive account@brataka Hive account@makenchoo Hive account@victartex Hive account@badtripz Hive account@japex1226 Hive account@bronkong and me won the art contest. I really enjoyed each and every art piece, thanks for your efforts and creativity!

So, I'm here with you for sharing another art piece! I hope you like it too.

The art piece is based on the last lore share from Splinterlands: Evasion.

I wanted to illustrate how Nerissa Tridawn attacked and saved the Kid! Here's the part where this scene inspired from:

Harvey looked up to the water’s surface and desperately kicked. He swam past the stones and pieces of the dock in the falling through the water; his lungs burning. The dark movement to his side warned him of the attack a moment before it happened. The shark monstrosity shot by, slamming Harvey’s leg with its tail. Harvey was sent spinning, pain radiating up the limb.

He twisted around to see it coming at him again. It’s toothy and bloody maw open wide. Panic seized him as he braced for those jaws to lock around him.

Suddenly, a figure shot in between the two. It was a woman, tanned skin and dark hair. Silver clothes rippled off a heavily muscled form, shimmering just like the scales of a fish. In her hand, she wielded a shining trident.

She thrust the trident forward and speared the demonic shark. A burst of blood spread through the water as the creature thrashed and swam away.

So, I think this is an epic war scene underneath the sea. I started with a very very basic sketch.

What is it there, the boy falling to the deep waters, Nerissa attacked the Diemonshark, and on the surface, we can barely see the village on fire!

And then I made a blueprint :) out of it. It's just that I wanted the first outline to be another color so I'll trace it with black later!

I usually check poses on internet and try to draw them, that become better and better every artpiece.

Then I added more details with black!

And the base colors!

Then shading and colors, I'm not a pro and this is all I get for now :) I think diemon and the kid came out so good. I need practice on naked parts of human body.

Then I added a under the sea background.

And finally, some village on fire, dark shades, made the kid fade a bit and I have the final image!

Thanks for your appreciation. See you later.
