Today I want to present my latest fan art from the Splinterlands universe, talk a bit about the lore of the card, and show my creation process. We're in Splinterlands Art Contest Week 364!

Hola amigos, comunidad de Alien Art y todos los que disfrutan del vasto universo de Splinterlands. Espero que est茅n teniendo un d铆a y semana maravillosos. Hoy les quiero presentar mi 煤ltimo fan art del universo de Splinterlands, adem谩s de hablar un poco del lore de la carta y mostrar mi proceso de creaci贸n. 隆Estamos en la Splinterlands Art Contest Week 364! Y espero que disfruten de esta entrada a mi blog, entonces, 隆con todo listo comenzamos!
As you can see, this week's fan art is based on the Splinterlands creature Djinn Apprentice. This card represents a Djinn apprentice who seeks to perfect his magic and power, and although he is not yet as strong, large, and cunning as the other Djinns, he has his own strength and power. To represent this, I chose a simpler chibi style with fewer details, respecting the original colors of the card and shaping a kawaii creature from the sketch.
Como pueden ver, el fan art de esta semana est谩 basado en la criatura de Splinterlands Djinn Apprentice. Esta carta representa a un aprendiz de Djinn que busca perfeccionar su magia y su poder, y aunque a煤n no es tan fuerte, grande y astuto como los otros Djinn, tiene su propia fuerza y poder. Para representar eso, me decant茅 por un estilo chibi m谩s simple y con menos detalles, respetando los colores originales de la carta y dando forma a una criatura kawaii desde el boceto.

Djinn Apprentice is capable of dealing a lot of damage and has low health, so using this creature in battle requires a lot of strategy. What I like most about this card is its connection to the fire element, especially in the color palette where reds stand out, evoking volcanic lava.
Djinn Apprentice es capaz de causar mucho da帽o y tiene una baja salud, por lo que usar esta criatura en batalla requiere mucha estrategia. Lo que m谩s me gusta de esta carta es lo relacionado al elemento fuego, que est谩 sobre todo en la paleta de colores donde destacan los rojos que recuerdan a lava volc谩nica.
I鈥檓 sharing this small animation in GIF format where you can see parts of my creative process鈥攆rom the sketch to the final result. It was a process I truly enjoyed, as always, and into which I put my maximum effort to achieve a final result that not only recalls the original card鈥檚 art and its various elements, but also carries my own personality and drawing style.
Les comparto esta peque帽a animaci贸n en formato GIF donde se puede apreciar partes de mi proceso creativo, desde el boceto hasta el resultado final. Fue un proceso que, como siempre, disfrut茅 mucho y en el que puse mi m谩ximo esfuerzo para obtener un resultado final que no solo recordara el arte de la carta original con sus diversos elementos, sino que tambi茅n tuviera mi propia personalidad y mi estilo de dibujo.
In the sketch, I focused on clearly defining characteristic elements from the original art and adding my own. The golden wristbands and the headband with the blue diamond are essential. I also added flame-shaped hair simply because I thought it would look cute that way. Unlike the original card, I wanted to place him on a magical cloud鈥攋ust like any good elemental genie.
En el boceto me centr茅 en dejar claros y definidos los elementos caracter铆sticos del arte original y agregar los m铆os propios. Las mu帽equeras doradas y la diadema con el diamante azul no pueden faltar. Adem谩s, le agregu茅 cabello en forma de llamas solo porque cre铆a que se ver铆a lindo as铆. A diferencia de la carta original, quise montarlo en una nube m谩gica como todo buen genio elemental.
With the sketch ready, I lower the opacity and focus on the line art. I'm using a fine brush to which I鈥檒l later add some areas of depth by gradually increasing its value. Bit by bit, I select lines from my sketch that will be part of the final result and discard others I won鈥檛 use. I also avoid drawing lines over intersections that won鈥檛 be visible but were reflected in the sketch during the structuring phase.
Con el boceto listo, bajo la opacidad y me centro en el line art. Estoy usando un pincel fino al que le agregar茅 m谩s tarde algunas zonas de profundidad, aumentando su valor poco a poco. Voy decantando l铆neas de mi boceto que formar谩n parte del resultado final y dejando otras que no usar茅. Adem谩s, evito trazar l铆neas por intersecciones que no se ver谩n pero que, a la hora de estructurar, se reflejaron en el boceto.
After a while, and with the sketch no longer visible, I鈥檝e completed all the line art. I also added and varied the thickness of the lines in some parts of the drawing. This makes it look more three-dimensional, with areas of greater and lesser depth.
Despu茅s de un rato y sin el boceto visible, ya tengo todo mi line art. Tambi茅n agregu茅 y vari茅 el grosor de la l铆nea en algunas partes del dibujo. Esto hace que se vea m谩s tridimensional y con zonas de mayor y menor profundidad.
I used red as the base color for my drawing. It's not a color I usually use as a base, but since it will be the final color of our character鈥檚 skin, it will help me save steps in the coloring process.
Utilic茅 rojo como el color base de mi dibujo. No es un color que suelo utilizar como base, pero como ser谩 el color definitivo de la piel de nuestro personaje, me permitir谩 ahorrarme pasos en el coloreado del dibujo.
On top of the base color, I used yellow, which I鈥檒l later saturate with orange in search of something closer to gold to color the metallic elements of the drawing.
Encima del color base, utilic茅 amarillo, que m谩s tarde saturar茅 con naranja en busca de algo m谩s parecido al dorado para colorear los elementos met谩licos del dibujo.
With the airbrush, I add highlights, shadows, and textures to the elements of the image. It鈥檚 a fairly simple image to color thanks to the large amount of red tones, but I think the result turned out very beautiful and striking. I achieved my goal: a cute and kawaii character inspired by a violent and powerful creature from the Splinterlands universe. Up next, I鈥檒l also share the final result once again.
Con el aer贸grafo doy luces, sombras y texturas a los elementos de la imagen. Es una imagen bastante simple de colorear gracias a la gran cantidad de rojos que tiene, pero creo que el resultado qued贸 muy bonito y muy result贸n. Logr茅 mi objetivo: un personaje kawaii y bonito inspirado en una violenta y poderosa criatura del universo de Splinterlands. A continuaci贸n, tambi茅n compartir茅 nuevamente todo el resultado final.
And of course, I鈥檒l also share the PNG version of the character with a transparent background. I always like to export a version of my characters without a background for any use that might come to mind.
Y como no puede faltar, tambi茅n les compartir茅 el PNG sobre fondo transparente del personaje. Siempre me gusta exportar una versi贸n de mis personajes sin fondo para cualquier utilidad que se me ocurra.
