NAGA ASSASSIN
I have been through different types of art and I'm back. I want to show the improvement that I learned after weeks of practicing. For today's competition I decided to give a more creative and impactful art. I believe it will eventually satisfy the eyes of the readers and the 
The Card Used as Inspiration and Reference
Lore
The most important unspoken agreements among the doers of shady deeds throughout Draykh-Nahka are “stay on your own territory,” and “call a Naga Assassin for your dirty work.” Naga come in many different varieties, sizes and cultures depending on where they live. No matter how well they fit into cities and societies, naga always have a certain ruthless edge left over from the recent wild roots of their people. The desert naga of Draykh-Nahka are especially strong and skilled at killing.
Naga Assassins are so quick and deadly at their work that there is rarely a need for a fight. They simply slither in unnoticed, plunging a quiet knife into the most vulnerable place on their victim.
The Process
All Steps in 10 Phases
Phase 1
The sketch initiation. The sketch is all about the base art that illustrates the character. I want a good posture so I make sure that the character is a little bit sexy.
Phase 2
Applying the skin color. The skin color should be near to dark for a strong appearance and I want to give a rich color that could harmonize the shades.
Phase 3
The part of shading. This part will be using a color second to the base and should lower the opacity for a good result.
Phase 4
In this part I pick a base color for the hair and two other colors that could harmonize the base but making sure that their opacities have been lowered again.
Phase 5
Now I used the white color to highlight the stripes of the hair. It will give a beautiful effect especially with dark background.
Phase 6
This time I color the garments and the equipment of the main character. This makes the art more creative. I assure that the depth has no absence.
Phase 7
In this stage I immediately start the lower part. I color it's main base with enough and value.
Phase 8
In this part the intricate patterns are added to give more life and beauty.
Phase 9
This stage is choosing the main background. The black one is the best. It gives focus to the main character.
Phase 10
The last stage is creating an animated effect using an airbrush. One by one I draw the best out of the colors ranges of blue. This is the final art with signature.
