Splinterlands art contest | Spirit of the forest
Very good evening friends.
Today I wanted to participate in the @Splinterlands contest with something different, this time I chose to do a makeup, for this opportunity I liked the Spirit of forest card because it has many elements that I could recreate without so much trouble, although I had to work with the crown because I didn't have any gem similar to the original card, but I did have a big heart charm that could be useful, somehow I managed to hang it from the crown simulating the red gem that has on the head. I also put some artificial leaves on the crown to make it look a little more similar, it was a very complicated work but I enjoyed it a lot, I wanted to participate with a makeup for a while and today I felt really inspired, I tried to be very faithful to the original design but I don't have a long green wig, I used the short one and I think it worked well, I hope you like this representation.
It was really hard for me to take pictures of the process very often, because everything was full of paint, I literally made a mess on my work table hahaha, anyway.
First as always, clean and moisturize my face, while I let the moisturizer dry I started to paint my chest, I painted everything in light green and then I added the detail of the dress with a darker green, it is a green very similar to the original card and to achieve it I mixed green with a little bit of brown, then I painted the neck using black, trying to simulate the figure as close as possible, I sealed everything with translucent powder to remove the shine of the paint since it is an oil based body paint, then I started to paint my face, covering it completely with green I even painted my ears, sealed again with powder and then painted contours on the nose and cheekbones this was with the help of a dark green eyeshadow, I took black paint and started to make the details, like the eyebrows, the lines on the face and also an eyeliner to give more shape to my eye.
For the lips I used a dark green, then I added highlighter and false eyelashes.
I finished by placing the accessories like the wig, the crown and some leaves glued on the face and chest.
I was a little discouraged when I was doing my makeup because I saw the photos of the process very opaque and then I saw myself in the mirror and I looked fine, however, when I put myself in front of the ring of light everything improved, the colors looked much better, of course I edited the image a little to give more shine to the fake "gem" that I put on the crown hahaha so that at least it seemed something shiny and not as simple as it looked, I think I could improvise well for this representation and I feel that it was worth the hours of makeup.
What a delightful and creative makeup representation of the Spirit of Forest card for the @Splinterlands contest! Your determination and ingenuity in recreating the elements of the card while adding your own unique touches shine through in your detailed process. It's truly inspiring to see your dedication to staying faithful to the original design despite challenges like not having all the exact materials. Your hard work and enjoyment of the process definitely paid off, as your final look turned out beautifully. The way you adapted with what you had, like using a short green wig instead of a long one, shows your resourcefulness and artistic flair. It's wonderful to see how you overcame initial doubts and found your confidence under proper lighting, enhancing the colors and details. Keep embracing your creativity and passion for makeup—it truly shows in your fabulous representation! Great job!
