I've been a bit lost, a bunch of stuff happened, but anyway, today I'm super, super happy. Some things are going great and also because I get to share with you the creation of this character. I'm so excited that I could have my little space in the world of Hive account@radaquest. Thanks Marcos!! for giving me the chance to do this.
I've had this post and some other lists ready for a long time, but I hadn't uploaded them. It was amazing to make this design, though it had its inconveniences. The electricity decided to act like a Christmas tree and mess up my workflow. I wanted to make videos of the process, but towards the end, I didn't bother recording anymore because I lost so many parts of the video due to the power issues. So, I'll just leave some pictures for you to see the process.
Seeing the final result made me blush, haha. I really liked the final finish. Marcos sent it to me, and of course, I wanted you to see it!
A few days ago, a friend from the community, Hive account@hadley4, surprised me by making a fan art of this design. It made me super happy to see it! He's very talented, and it’s also important because he’s the first person to do fan art of one of my designs. So yeah, it made me laugh and feel sooooooooooooooooooo happy! You can check out his post and see his work process.
This was the start of the idea. Well, not exactly, because I actually went through several ideas, and this is the one that ended up sticking. It was a good start.
After I was happy with what I was going to do, I slowly started adding color. So, I began with the skin.

I think one of the things I wanted to do with this design, and what I mainly wanted to focus on, was the armor, the details, and stuff. I made a darker base because I wanted to paint from the darkness.
Since I had a bit of base color for the skin and all that, I started working on the golden details, and also improving what I already had, like the face and other things. As I went along, I made some changes.

When I was picking the steps, I tried not to have too many, so I did a little purge since I had saved more than 12 images. At this point, I had a lot of things already done and also gave some love to the background, I made and uploaded the gifs, but they seem to be too big.
I still had a big part of the armor in black and hadn't detailed it yet, but since I already had that base, it was easier for me to just add a couple of lighter colors, some highlights, and it looked better. As for the background, it went through several changes, but this one was the final choice.

there were a lot of details to go over besides the wings, which I hadn’t really done much of before. At least in these pictures, because in the ones I saved, there was some of that. I did the wings a couple of times until I was relatively happy with what I had and decided to improve that design , of course, I wanted it to be reminiscent of fire and water, but I had a problem hmmmm I didn't want it to look exactly like water or fire either.
