Splinterlands Art Contest Week 308 / Valnamor

Hello everyone, it's been a while, I hope all of you are well! This will be my submission to the Splinterlands art contest!

My Reference: https://next.splinterlands.com/card-detail/111/regular/1/?tab=lore

Here's how I drew it through a series of pictures:

The sketching process really takes a lot of time for me since I need to check a lot of stuff, from perspective, proportions, if the eyes are aligned, hands, toes etc.

Yeah... This took me atleast 3 hours to sketch since I keep on messing up on the left hand (Why are hands so hard to draw??)

Now for the line art:

And lastly, to color it!

l messed up a bunched of times on the transparent blue cloth thingy, since some it will be hidden under the arm, some will go around the body, I need to make a lot of layers and repeat the same steps to draw, adjust the opacity, and render it, but I'm overall satisfied on how it turned out.

I really hope you like this one and thanks for checking my post! Until next time!
