Hello friends, it's another round of the splinterlands contest and this is my entry. I chose to recreate Jini Guise, it looks like a simple card but that pose is very chaotic, I love the colours and look on her face though
Jini Guise is one of the most mysterious gladiators in splinterlands. She has no grand weapon and never reveals her tricks but when she gets attacked, she becomes a huge smoke, isn't that cool?
PROCESS
Sketching always comes first for me, I took my time with this one, I placed everything where I wanted them, it makes the whole work easier as it serves as a guide. I began to pain her skin, clothes and hair with a base colour. From the lore, I read her dress was a robe so I did a cross neck style with her top and it looked nice. I painted her facial features but faced a little challenge with her lips, getting the angle right and also her teeth.
I started the rendering phase with her inner robe then I went on to detail her skin, painting skin is always fun and makes a huge difference, it brings the work to life. I did the same for her hair and jacket, adding more volume, strands, colours and texture. I painted her necklace and added more details to it.
Like the lore says, she becomes a blur of smoke so I began painting thick smoke around her, I added some fiery colours to it too. I created a new layer and changed the blend mode, painting more shine and glow to areas like her eyes, hair, smoke and any other areas. I really love the final result of this work.
