-Step 1:

It all started with a very simple sketch, which after about an hour was taking better shape, with some thick chains and of course the Splinterlands pumpkins.

-Step 2:

The inside of the Dark Enchantress hat is a powerful crimson red, so I wanted to accompany it with a large piece of cloth under the enchantress, which in turn stands out in contrast to a very dark background.

-Step 3:

If there is something to which I always spend a lot of time is the fabrics that I paint to accompany the characters, so this time was not going to be an exception, so I looked for a good reference and spent a few hours shaping the folds of the fabric, honestly it is something that relaxes me.

-Step 4:

There are easy ways to make chains, one of them is to download a brush that generates them automatically, but this only gives you the shape, so you still need to paint the inside, and the other option is to take an image of chains and do photobashing, but I went the long way, looking for references and painting by hand each of the links.

I also spent time on the posts where the chains come from, or better said, where the victims of the dark sacrifices are chained, all this in front of a dense forest.

-Step 5:

What I have left for the end has been the skin of the enchantress, as I could not decide whether to make her skin pale or adopt the blue/violet tone of the original Splinterlands card, in the end I have opted for the latter and I have used a layer in the "soft light" fusion mode to correctly apply the new shading of the skin. By the way if you find a line like a circle between the chest and the neck is that I have been lazy to make the necklace of her and I forgot to delete that line, sorry 😅.

I will leave you a GIF with the whole process on it, so you can better appreciate the illustration process.
