Hey, Hey, here's the @lacochinaensalsa!
There have been a few rounds of the Splinterlands Art Contest in which I was unable to participate for various reasons. However, I am happy to have the opportunity to participate in this round number 33. The character I have chosen seems quite funny to me and at first glance he seemed cartoonish because of his features and at the same time I said: It's Elvis! I hope you already know who I am talking about: Fizbo The Fabulous.
It is certainly a fabulous character, I love the caricature sense that I was able to develop. I tried to take main features from the original art, to capture them in my art and thus open a similarity not so prominent. When drawing this character I asked myself: what would the creator have thought of when making the character? Maybe Elvis?...🤔
Inspiration, Original Splinterlands Art:
Let's quickly see Drawing process:
I started by doodling a bit of the character's pose on the canvas. Then I went on to draw the semi-clean lines and then a stage of cleaning and arranging them. Once the outline was done, including details, I moved on to the base coloring stage. This step is a bit faster, I use the paint bucket tool with an extension of 2 for it. Now that that's done, I move on to the detailing stage, where I start to give light, shadows and some depth to each area. To make this step easier I use the crop layer, because I previously separated the colors into layers.
Drawing this illustration was quite fun, it made me think of Elvis. He is one of my favorite singers, I always admire his voice and his charisma. This was like a mix between Fizbo and Elvis. I tell you that for some details I have used airbrushing, blur and layers of luminosity.
