ANDROMEDA - Personal Project called "UNKNOWN"

ANDROMEDA Personal Project Illustration "UNKNOWN".

Hello everyone and friends😁
I'd like to share to you my latest illustration. This album project is called "UNKNOWN" where I showcase illustrations of alien creatures in my own personal design. My first alien I did is Andromeda. I also made her back in year 2022 but that's an old design I made. You may view it in here ANDROMEDA-Alien Art Hive

Join me walk through the process of creation and hope you have fun as the art progress from the start to finish.

Digital Art Creation Process

STEP 1
Sketching

I started with this rough pose that I want to make for the alien creature. In this stage I work on it's shapes and form figuring out a little bit of the anatomy of the creature. And so I continued the next process.

I lower the opacity of the first rough pose I made and add another layer on top of it. Then start to define the shape of it's body with rough lines as you can see here.

Next thing I did, is lower again the opacity of that rough lines. I made and add another layer on top. Start to make the lines more cleaner this time.

I was so happy with how it looks and excited of how will it turns to. I proceed to the next step.

STEP 2
Coloring Stage

Alright! I have cleaned the lines already, now I dive in to color. I add the base color. I want to make the base color green for it's body and have the hair like color blue.

Here I separate all the base colors and from that I locked the transparent pixels so that the color I will be doing does not exceed outside. I started to add some light and dark variations in here. Giving it a little volume making this step looks three dimensional.

I also lower the opacity of the clean lines I did. I'm happy with the result and this time I want to render it now. I proceed to my next and final step.

STEP 3
Final Touch and Render

We are now at the end of the Stage/Process. I clean up the part with lines. As we go add the details of each parts of the illustration.
I try to define the shapes and pop out the forms a bit.

In this stage here I added the background to make the image pop out more and also playing with the color balance to have it a saturated look. Still added lights and shadows. Add also some texture. I'm happy with the result but I want to add a little more details in the final image to make it interesting.

In here, I added a magical plasma shapes in her hands. And to make it realistic I change the shadows to color blue indicating that light bounces to it's body.

That's it we're done!

You made it to the end of this post. I really appreciate your time and attention. Keep up the good work ad have fun! Until next art illustration stay tuned😁

Thank you very much!
