Nite Nite !How are u? π My head is exploding these days π€―π€―π I want to introduce you to the Thalena Exclusive Reward Cards - 17th Coliseum Campaign - Honor & Glory BTW, u're gonna love them ;P
This is the base card. I'll show you the extended version next. Iβve also left a couple of images so you can check out the creation process.
Thalena (Protector of Pillars)
Rarity: Legendary
Power: 17 Power
Faction: Light
After several ideas, this was the one that convinced me and Marcos too , so, yay awesome! I could start working on it. Of course, as always, things were subject to change (no surprise there), but the important thing was that the idea worked.
I laid down some base colors and added a bit of background to set the mood. There had to be rocks everywhere. I also added some color to the skin, actually using a layer in Overlay mode. The key thing was choosing the right colors for her.

The time for changes was near hmmm really near. As I kept going, I refined the details and took the chance to tweak a few things that werenβt working for me, yes, like the leg, which looked kinda weird in the initial pose. Even though the skin wouldnβt be visible later, it was better to fix it now.
Have u ever drawn something, flipped it around, looked at it again, and thought, βWTF?β n then ended up redoing it? π yes! If u're critical, u know nothing is ever truly perfect, even if u think it is. Anyway, I redesigned the boots because they looked too basic before. I also adjusted the chest, though I covered it here so u donβt have to shield ur eyes from the NSFW content.π

Besides the small adjustments, I worked on the face. I know there are certain things I struggle withβlike big eyes. No matter how much I try, they just donβt convince me. So, I kept tweaking the facial features to improve the shape.
I kept refining and making small changes, and finally, I started liking the face. I was kinda happy with it. There was still work to do, like the rocks , I hadnβt done much there yet. But one thing I really loved was the hair hmmm adding that little touch of color at the tips gave it something special.

To wrap things up, there were a few things I needed to work on, like the rocks. I wanted to add a bit of green to them, along with some lights and extra details. I also wanted to highlight her power, her magic. Took a few tries, but I finally landed on something I liked. It was a process, but totally worth it! π
-.-
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work.
