Hi guys, today I want to share my new entry to the @Splinterlands contest for which this time I chose the "Time Mage" card, this time I only wanted to draw torso so I had to think about what elements to add to make this card very striking and still keep the essence of the original card, this time I wanted to help me a little with AI, so I made the clock with the help of playground but I modified it when I placed it to give the final touches I wanted, I wanted a floating clock that was breaking, as if the time was stopping for an instant, a "Time mage" with a fine and delicate face, with closed eyes perceiving how her clock breaks into a thousand pieces, I worked with a background that I made with the help of a diffuse brush, simulating a kind of bright space, it cost me a lot to make all the elements that I had in mind this time, but here is the result, I hope you like it.
I thought a lot about how to make this card, in fact I wanted to paint it a long time ago, but it really has so many elements that it seemed impossible, however I came up with this idea and I put it in my sketch, then I started painting with a palette of pinks and purples, then I applied a new layer where I added more colors and also painted the hair with a dark and desaturated purple, then I started to mix the skin tones to give it a more realistic finish, I finished giving details to the face, painting the eyebrows and eyelashes.
I started to fill the clothes with the colors similar to those of the original card, but with the difference that they are a little more desaturated, then little by little I added the textures of each part of the clothes and the golden details, I also added the details to the hair as lights and shadows, to give movement and shape to the hairstyle, I changed the background to a dark color and by this point I started to make the clock with the help of AI in Playground it was very hard to get a good result, I was really blocked with the phrases that I had to use, finally I chose one of the options that I liked the most and I cut and pasted it over the drawing, I made some adjustments with the "transform" tool to give it a better angle, I used the selection tool and made small selections and eliminated part of the shape of the clock to give this effect that it is breaking, I started to draw small particles that simulate the pieces of the clock floating, I also painted the needle of the clock in a golden color, and painted over some parts of the clock that I didn't like how it looked like.
I used some blue and yellow colors to create this background, I made the shapes that simulate an aurora borealis and then painted some small yellow stars, applied more particles coming out of the clock, then I added some light details in the face and in some parts of the background, finally I edited the drawing giving it a little more saturation and depth.
