Splinterlands art contest week #252 (Mimosa Nightshade)

This week for my Splinterlands art contest entry i drew Mimosa Nightshade .

So i really did a rough sketch of this character but in my own style . That requires setting a pose and then making the costume over it that absolutely defines the character of the card im making . So the character was like a super human and with a dark cape her eyes are glowing red and she has fire balls in both her hands . After sketching roughly i took a picture and digitally concerted it by tracing it in Medi bang paint pro. Apparently i had to make some changes in the hair and face .

Then i started adding flat colors to her . So the costume is mainly black and red with some silver details . So the highlight in this illustration defines the actual texture of the costume . The highlights on her suit are like wiggly but shiny which means its either leather or latex and the cape inner is red the cape is dark but has some purple shading so we know the fabric is flowy . Another detail is that the suit has very reflective silver details and so the silver foil details are made very shiny

next i shaded her skin and hair color i did a dark purple for hair and then added lilac strands over it this method is great to draw lighter hair.

Some more details to the skin and eyes and the lips too i colored the fire balls purple next i colored every layer of lineart differently to enhance the character .

And changed the fire ball to add in layer blending mode so it looks glowy and transparent . Gave her a gradient black background and added a bit red glow to her eyes and this is the final look .

I hope you liked it i loved drawing this alot .
