Hello!

Happy new year, Splinterlands! I am happy to cross paths with Splinterlands before the year ends. I met new friends and wonderful artists along the way. I did not submit an entry last week because I was on vacation, also just taking the holiday as my break from grinding especially in blogging. We deserve a rest once in a while.

I would like to congratulate @solumviz for making it of the winners of Week 221! Well deserved!

It has been a while since I made a chibi entry for Splinterlands. So, I decided to be in chibi style. I chose Technowizologist!

Sketching Technowizologist

Before starting to sketch, I already have my chibi template so that every chibi that I make is uniform to each other. So, I used a black pencil to put all the detailes first. I struggled on the mechanic camera at this point so look how my sketch is~ HAHA.

I seldom draw mecha or robots because I am not fond of those stuff. So, this is a quite challenge for me. But I find it beneficial so that I can practice mecha once in a while.

Flat colors

As you can see, I scratched off the hand because I focused on the details instead of the mechanic camera. I probably took 15 minutes to do the lineart alone for that part, ugh. It is really time-consuming, hehe. I did not use the color-picker this time. I manually chose the color based on what my eyes can see.

On this part, I already put shadows on the green cape. I also added the details on the face such as the one eye binocular and cape.

Background and more details~

The details of the books seem like hieroglyphics of Egypt. Looks like a writing for a magic spell of some sort. I added the blue glass for the one-eye binocular. Shadows for the book and mechanic camera were also added.

For the background, I used a gradient of sky blue and black. I used the airbrush and smudge to create the blue smoke.

Final art

This is when the picture come to life! When you add glows and shadows, that is when it has this 3D effect, which is nice, right? :D

I added a ball of glow on the front of the magical book using an airbrush and pen tool. Also added glow on the eyewear, a mechanic camera, and little sparkles of blues. I put another layer on top of everything for shadows.

Tadaaa~ Technowizologist in my chibi art style is done!
