This is my entry for the weekly Splinterlands Art Contest found [HERE](https://hive.blog/hive-13323/@splinterlands/splinterlands-art-contest-week-279)


Here is the original card:

![Countess-Sinash.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/23uFYBPQ8rWb5stBidu6PBiKRt4AgDJfnJKi7L6C1Kz75C1beCd1uYFvDzBrfShyS9dSm.jpg)

Was trying a totally different style of painting and skipping the line art layer. Doubt I'll do that again. If you watch the timelapse video, you can see at one point I just gave up what I was doing and started again from the rough draft.

Speaking of rough draft.


Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4. Here is the time lapse video:

And here is the drawing broken down into individual process steps:

One: Rough Draft.
![countess sinash p1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AJkVMg5mgAtQFbGYfeBdkUz4rZxAhi3qT4r3EVp3jQtdLpGU1t91UE2zdv5zTgW.png)

Two: Flat layer. Skipped the line art layer as an experiment.
![countess sinash p2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AKGcxSCxGc4oa6gjBKTASDKNbVvC9UtuhPWxtnSuCPYjz5k6YuE7s2nHWQLnpyK.png)

Three: Tried something new. Converted the rough draft layer to black and just blurred the crap out of it. Made them into light shadows to use as guides.
![countess sinash p3.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AKNMxpL9KkcZ2AK2N5VKUDtxdHBxnVupQrvTGsSgR3duMNRuVKnmHmBj26sQAXz.png)

Four: Made separate flat layers clipped to the main flat layer. Hair, cape, gold, and purple. I see I also accidentally did some shading on one of the layers.
![countess sinash p4.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AKs3xsATtTScRmWR9CRwaE2AdCZmfAqyKffjau2tcVodaRMUvkWxiA5iV7Gf2YT.png)

Five: Shading on purpose now.
![countess sinash p5.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AL362AexyFrjpzgEewvCiwThA4RdcPo4sMy3ruEvLiDX7jrU8RcBKhcNCADrhde.png)

Six: Created a dark background layer. Just used a wet watercolor brush to lay down some black followed by a running color spray in a light grey just to add some noise.
![countess sinash p6.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AJixvyRm9rwRdfwsCkbXprujJYNBM6K6s5ARMc1pWZPVNk3ZPc2nHRkyKx8Mkbu.png)

Seven: I wanted to make the shading darker so I just duplicated the shading layer. It was a little too black so I reduced the opacity of one of them to 75% and came up with this.
![countess sinash p7.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AJhV4PMzqoNNSQoP82UrEpLax39HjeJ6NR1r7HXJGgANnNBLAGZRSujWSYmRryq.png)

Eight: Add some whites to the eyes and some color to the lips. Then added a Glow layer to play around with some magical effects and reflected light.
![countess sinash p8.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AK3dbr5KLfycrJXMfHfhSBLVYYEq3wP7JkpvJCTPXJwpx8M3t7vmRYgnTT5qi7Q.png)

Nine: Sign my initials at the bottom. Which is why I made that little section of glowing light in the bottom right corner.
![countess sinash p9.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AK3dbr5KLfycrJXMfHfhSBLVYYEq3wP7JkpvJCTPXJwq2Se2VrsVmTZJqiZwodA.png)

Enjoy! Thanks for perusing.
