Week 353 | My Splinterlands Art Contest Entry | The Gorlodon

Hello! 🤩

For this week's card, I chose The Gorlodon. 😊

This creature looks like a combination of an octopus and a crab. I skipped last week's contest because I had a busy schedule. 😊 Supposedly, this is my entry for last week, but it was not finished before the deadline.

Art Process

• sketch and lineart

I first looked up a picture of a hermit crab because I felt it resembled the outline of this creature. Using its outline, I added more details from the original art like the tentacles, single eye, and sharp teeth. The limbs and hands looked like tridents, so I just patterned them to look like forks, haha. I used a pencil-textured brush.

• basecolor and shading. Added the color background.

I copied the base color from the original card. Here, I experimented with different shades of purple and blue, and sprayed orange to maroon for the accent color. For the background, I chose green because of the underwater plants.

Final Art

Since I had some Clippy Points going expired, I decided to spend them on an image brush. Clippy Points are used to buy brushes, 3D models, etc, in the Clip Studio Asset store. I bought some image brushes of kelps, seaweeds, and sea grass. Lastly, I added bubbles and lightning.

Software: Clip Studio Paint Pro

That is it for this art blog. I will see you at the next one!
