This is my entry for the weekly Splinterlands Art Contest found HERE
This is what the original card art looked like:
Obviously, I went with a more modern bar...
Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro. Unfortunately, I don't have a timelapse video for this image, because I didn't have it turned on to record a timelapse when I started. But here is the step-by-step breakdown of the drawing steps.
Step One: Rough draft
Step Two: Line art layer
Step Three: Hide the rough draft and create a flat layer
Step Four: Make separate color layers for: tray, snake head, top, bottoms and mugs.
Step Five: Shading!
Step Six: More shading!
Step Seven: Create an overlay layer for reflected light on the figure, also fill in details like the eyes
Step Eight: Use an AI art generator to create the tavern interior.
Step Nine: add a familiar owl logo to the tank top.
That's it. Thank you and I hope you enjoy.
