My entry for Lion Zealer 🦁 Art challenge for Leofinance X Zealy campaign

HI fellow Lions, I have merged myself with the ongoing mega campaign by LeoFinance X Zealy and on last day, I gathered some courage to participate in the art quest series and made my first collage image as an art of a Lion fighting and slaying a dragon for the first mission. Gladly, as it was a rookie level quest, I luckily got passed. But as I ladder up, I will find next quest missions with more and more difficulty so I decided to try harder and come out with a better art piece for my next mission.

Today when I got started with the second art mission, I begin to think with the theme which stats - 'Draw/Design/Create an image of a Lion interacting with the Leo Finance and the Zealy Logos' and after some time, I decided to make a poster time image this time while respecting using and interacting with the logo part. Then with a secret idea and a blurry blueprint of the outcome, I started making it on canva.

Step 1

I went to canva and made a custom image size of 2000 X 2000 pixels to shape it as a Square.

Step 2

After the canvas opened up, I chose the background color as Black so that the elements I use gets more visibility and pops out!

Step 3

I searched within the canva for a elemental or basic line draw type lion picture as a base of my project. After some searches with different keywords, i finally found this png picture above and chose it for my art.

Step 4

I tried to replace is boring eyes with the 2 logos so that the logos get some attention here and also make the picture eye catchy!

Step 5

After a little replacements and resizes, I finally got what I wanted and also pkaced those 2 logos at the base corners.

Step 6

Next, I tried to place the name of both projects and places 'Leo' and 'Zealy' at the top of bottom of the image.

Step 7

I changed the Leo word to leofinance and curved it over the top of the lion. I colored it similar to their font style and this one is looking cooler!

Step 8

As for next, I played with the color grading to give it a more pop and color burst look and came out with a better version.

Step 9

To enrich the image even more, I tried to add some leaves style at the below part that will make the unfinished circular theme a complete look. After some time, I found a good png of a olive leaves and then it took a little time to place them well, but now it is suddenly looking an awesome poster look!

Step 10

Then I tried to add an animal type texture at the solid back background to see how it is looking on the core image. I did some research and come out with this one but later at final stage, I chose to exclude it.

Step 11

Now to add some secret juice that helps it to get stand out among the crowd, i decided to make a Crown made of flames for my badass lion. I find out one good gif animation of flame at google and used it multiple times and adjusted them well to get the worthy crown I was wishing for.

Step 12

After a final touch of resizing and relocating, replacing the old olive leaves with a golden one and toggling them with basic animations, I finally come out with this cool looking gif poster on the theme I was given, however this is not the final piece, as I decided to remove the stripes from behind and to keep a solid background gave me an even better looking art piece, Look below!
