[ESP/ENG]❄️🔹Sa-Khui Alien | Dibujo Digital🔹❄️

Hello everyone, the drawing I bring for this occasion is personal, well not so much, but... today's drawing is a character made based on the characters created by the writer Ruby Dixon and his book series called Ice planet barbarian.

Ice Planet Barbarian is a series of science fiction, action, romance and erotic books, so if you are a minor, wait until you turn 18, go read something else, there are a lot of them XD. It's a series that I just found last year and I read 32 books in 2 months, yes, time in which I can't sleep.

I got really hooked on these books because they are wonderful and I think I am going to write a review of at least the first book and talking a little about what is going on in general and my opinion, I loved them and I believe that they should be known more and more, although the book series is actually very well known.

In the books we have this species called Sa-khuis, blue extraterrestrials, very tall, strong and of course very attractive, so as a fan of the Sa-khuis species I wanted to make a drawing Following the description of what they look like, since they are from books, you don't have an image of what they would look like, but you do have a detailed description.

I'm not good at drawing men, for years I have drawn women and that makes my hand look for those features when drawing so I looked for image references that would also help me in the position of the character and his appearance.

I started with these three main sketches marking position, then shape, pose and so on before starting the cleanest sketch.

I wanted to be very careful with the details so I did each thing on a separate layer and once defined, move on to the final lineart.

When painting I started with the hair since I knew I wanted a kind of bluish black so I already knew what shade I was looking for.

The sa-khui are blue, but they can be different shades of blue so I looked for a blue tone that convinced me, I wanted to use a darker and grayish blue, but they are supposed to have a kind of armor in various parts of the body that They serve as a natural armor and they wanted it to be noticed so I ended up with this cold and not so bright blue.

For the clothes I did a little research, in the book it is mentioned that they are still in a stage like prehistory, they dress with leather, skins, everything made by them and that type of Things, maybe it's fiction, but I wanted to get very close to his description so I also used the colors that his clothes are said to be.

For the spear I also looked for a reference and painted it last. For the background I switched from the Paint tool sai 2 program to Photoshop since there I have brushes that I like to use to make this type of background that I am going to make.

They are supposed to be on a completely frozen planet, so there are snowy cliffs, ice and that kind of thing, I thought about doing it in the background surrounded by mountains, however something like that didn't convince me snowy land, first I am not a fan of the color brown and as much as the background does not convince me visually so I decided to change it for two large glaciers or I don't know, it is an alien place, the mountains can be blue XD, then I added some shadows to them , snow accumulated in some parts and that's it.

This, more than being an OC, is a drawing to give me an idea of ​​the sa-khui and I liked it a lot, but there are so many things to take into account, in the book they have fingers in the hand and I forgot so their hands are normal, my mistake, I also forgot that they all have very big and prominent horns, so I went back to the drawing and made some small ones on top.

I hope you liked it, I have to design my oc in the ice planet barbarian universe to show it to you hehe, see you in the next drawing.
