Hello community!
My entry today for the @Splinterlands contest is based on the Lunakari mistress card, a very nice card but quite complicated for me, I feel that every time I find it more difficult to achieve the results I want, however, I liked how the final result looks like.
This time I wanted to represent her in a tender and hypnotizing way, highlighting the hair drawn in waves to create movement and the power between her hands without being so exaggerated but making it shine a lot, I tried to be a little faithful in the colors guided by the original card, I would say that the only thing that varies a little is the saturation, for example the hair I made it a little darker than the original, I hope you like it.
I started the sketch without many details, I think it took a little longer to make the shape of the hair, because I wanted this hair with floating waves, to start painting I chose a rather opaque and desaturated color palette, I started with the face applying the base colors with which I was going to work, in a new layer I began to blur the face to give it softness and better shape to then begin to deposit the base tones in the torso and arms, for the hair I used a dark blue base and with light blue I began to make reflections, in the dress I used an opaque cream color.
Little by little I added more highlights to the hair and then blurred the skin tones of the arms, hands and chest, I started to paint the hems of the dress fabric and put a bronze base color on the accesories that I would paint on the neck and arms, I used different shades of gold to create the accesories and a black color in the center.
I painted red around the eyes and inside the eyes I added glitter, between her hands I added this kind of magic which I wanted to be quite delicate and without exaggerating so much.
I placed a dark background as a base and then an effect where I duplicated the power I had put in the hands and created a background that looks "magical" in front I wanted to paint this kind of smoke of the same tone of the background, I made a layer where I would place some minimal light details, in the face and in other parts of the drawing, finally I applied a color and saturation adjustment.
