Splinterlands Art Contest! // Week 158 // The CURSED Memory // TWISTED JESTER
[//]: # (CCC LINKS PLACEHOLDER, DON'T DELETE THIS TAG)

Hello all,

Thank you so much for all the positive comments, votes, and Hive Rewards last week! (`・ω・´)ゞ
I am super grateful and amazed by this community feedback even I just join for ~1 weeks only.

This week, I present to you my new artwork: 

# ***The Cursed Memory of Twisted Jester***.![yoyu.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23w2oCNfZBpqKQvidaAYQpZ742FHNMD4WrgrAkcmfwahu3H4uUMFLWSLupd5eA5e1inmF.gif)

I know this scene look like a psychopath waving and smiling to a corpse he killed, right? However, if you read the lore, maybe it is another story!

# **WHY TWISTED JESTER?**

At first, I chose Twisted Jester just because he is a popular card I frequently used.
But after reading the lore I find out he is a super sad guy.
![sadstory.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23tvCfGSKHDLwEVoe4QNdZ7jzTLQivPjcZWp2atF2JkQ78APhR64PQcdUA5pkFTsW9V32.png)
Compare to other Beta little monster card, like Skeleton Assassin and Animated Corpse. Jester seems to have a story to tell, but without fully development. 

That's why I recreate the scene of his memory.

Instead of a psychopath waving and smiling to a corpse he killed, 
he is actually trapped inside the memory, crying and saying goodbye to his family.

![IMG_0296.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/EogNm7h7f58dkdfAZpusveBEWjTDhbPXKWywgtUyQb8eUWxUbb2FmnxTySmYageJFnY.PNG)

Feel sad for him, lol but hope you guys like it.

# **The Following is the long and boring process part:**

1. I always start with the head. Paint some guide line first.

![IMG_0282.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23tGXSyfTbvi5UCqwvjzVPmrYWwExFmJvznEyN7dtvN1d5gkEySgSQM2Hy9VT9KdBmTzY.PNG)

2.Then work on top of it with Crease tool.

![IMG_0283.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23tGXSyNLXC4QVVZanEs8Et7cUZf2WYcp49eAymdNUMhbPr5QMZc6hkdHbAGR8Mjmwd6F.PNG)

3.Use Tube tool to create Non-Geometric shape, It is the best tool in Nomad.
![IMG_0284.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t78tv3kfnf6VX11apGnxo6zX5E3H16f8rh4NX3BstWBLmtELJHt8iREYH9GuopYM9YV.PNG)

4.Create a Flat box, use trim tool to cut the shape for the neck piece.
![IMG_0285.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t78yA22QoSRaKwfYeX7SSGqCQM33PiZMKPuum4EbWEGd3BcuQYodqSDfGbWuEuAHDjq.PNG)

5.Use Tube Tool again for the decoration, Mirror in both X and Z Axis to make it 4 pieces.
![IMG_0286.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23swib9V2dpeUZQ12aqUcmsVs39BFNMgpVRdD64ghHWZXLXR7cdR1YVgFYnTkTYbJF2kN.PNG)

6.Use tube tool to create the basic structure of leg, arm and finger.
![IMG_0288.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23swigsETaaNp6njb1ReSUHuAy2yhkeoHceAAaqAdtKMYA9p8wagi1MUddweGZVCQkUns.PNG)
![IMG_0287.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t78ncrMkF6X2ZAbee8UhhzMJBepbZqtv5PFxQuhCusMXA9cd1WJn5FXxiAC5EDdd8Gv.PNG)
![IMG_0290.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t79KvpbgGTHeGEWRmAH9vqD5Jo76ypSRc461v8Z47BaMKNEDHJrCCcnE58P2Xtx6bnZ.PNG)


7.Pick color from the reference image and fill the mesh.
![IMG_0247.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23tGaDWcurnWBDwVMahGPz5RAyx4r8cBd3UHibM1ehPZRkhcdeJohA9GyFmNbJtki1Xru.PNG)


8.Decide which material to use, this time I use Unit.
![IMG_0246.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t78yGSS9cPGsVpEeUzjj4mt66Q9yGQLkubFaDsTmKrAhBqEiwfsqPU8fMtZcyvD1n3J.PNG)

9. Add Post production effect like Bloom (Growing effect of eye and the light glob), Curvature (Outline) and AO (Shadow).  Slowly adjust it until it look good.
![IMG_0249.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23t7DRC2zgTTu41SuojR134nNPPy5QUE9yyek2pDuyxbAMKCGX3vVZKmV8C5XqTUSJudi.PNG)

10.Making pose base on the card.
![IMG_0261.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23yd3rH9zmkFwT8Px6mQ6TWzS24Y9KvcZjk4EjfgCVbTh6ZaCjXWxndGyhnX25gZmuhTK.PNG)
![IMG_0260.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23wMWN7nyCTLJ6CqNYad4jRbXEBiokA69QdRvPjsqs8maTmVhFd3zYfBNDx43phAaX2Ab.PNG)


11.After reading the lore I change my mind, I think he shouldn't look hyper or having much body movement. So I create a background for the scene, and make him steady.

![IMG_0262.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23wzzTribVRhupcbJbZ4xjMQiDKzceveS1PAHQApAwZgGvx5Wq5tspJ4ex3qdVdL7Emuf.jpg)

12.I import some Skull and Corpse model. They are free download assets on Sketchfab. 


![IMG_0263.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23wqkQtwuJ2s8acvmZJ9ax7BRexAjA5AV8uEbv1smdJSmpCmQfbZknoaox9JV3KgqDhbd.jpg)

13.Duplicate the model & paint color.
![IMG_0293.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/motpanda/23wqiRJ6hLk2FUqJ2NKapjNAq5p7JRDFLWNb9nNJR6VZaXm2gmamJmSfjAgGsUmSnMdAG.jpg)
14.BAM FINISH!
![https://media.giphy.com/media/vT5h8ZOhGdnNyLxWiY/giphy-downsized-large.gif](https://media.giphy.com/media/vT5h8ZOhGdnNyLxWiY/giphy-downsized-large.gif)


15.Talk about why I start this. Every 3D art takes extremely long time and high focusing to finish.
At first my goal is to learn Nomad as I just buy iPad Pro recently, but the feedback from u guys are so SUPPORTIVE :D

I am planing to do 4 more in the future (1 summoner, 6 monsters in total)

Hope that the skill and quality will get better and better each time.




**Thanks for reading.**

Actually no PC is required, I use Ipad Pro 2021, Apple pen and Nomad(the software) to finish almost everything! The result look so good and that's why I am learning it now!
