Hello Holozing lovers!
This is a long overdue work. I started working on this Holozing fan art more than a month ago.
This is my Filipina version of the forest healer. Shall we say, she is a Diwata or a forest nymph.
My References
At first, I admit I could not think how my forest healer would really look like. I was kind of dry at that moment. So I thought of seeking the help of ideogram.ai. So I asked the AI app to give me some images to inspire me.
I chose these two.

The Sketch
I usually make everything in Medibang Paint but I really the feel of drawing using a pencil on paper. So I grabbed my sketchbook and drew the sketch.
In Medibang Paint
I uploaded the sketch to Medibang Paint and turned the layer into an 8-bit layer and turned into blue.
I added a new layer for the ink outline, then another layer under the ink outline for the base color of the skin .
Then I added another layer for the color of the clothes and another layer for the hair.
I added separate layers for the dark and light tones for the skin, clothes and hair.
I added rose tattoo with three flowers on her arm and a tulip tattoo on her chest. I also added emerald beads on her forehead. Let's I got the inspiration from a friend of mine.
Then I started working on the background. I used the grass brushes that I created a long time ago.
I also added a couple of trees at the back which serves as the frame.
Then I add some grass in front of the forest healer
I continued to add more grass and leaves to the background
I added a couple of flowering plants .
To make it look like she is using her powers to grow the plants, I used the airbrush to give it a glowing effect.
Then I added a cloudy night sky on the background.
Lastly...
I thought her skin color is a bit light, so before I finalized this post, I gave her a darker skin tone. "Kayumangi" as we say it in Filipino
There you go, my Filipina version of the Forest Healer.
I hope you like it.
