Process in making the Digital Art:
• To begin with, like I always do in my previous posts, I do a rough sketch of the character. I find the face a little peculiar, so first I sketch the face base on the card, its in the upper left corner in this sketch. Just copy the design base on the card. Next on the upper right I tweak some features in his face. Third in the lower left corner, I stylized the face of the character. And finally the last sketch where I am happy with how it looks.

•Second in the process is take that sketch and define its outline. We could also say an inking process but digitally.

•Third in the process is adding Mask Layer underneath the outline.

•Fourth, adding Shadows. This is my favorite part on my process. Just a grayscale output.

•Fifth, with a multiply layer on top, add your local colors. In this case I put like a pinkish color for the body, green colors in the clothes, brown and gray on the pickle axe.

•Sixth, this is only my own preference. I add an overlay layer on top of the character to lighten up its color. And also add color to the background for clarity. Shadows underneath his feet.

•Just slowy add overlay on top of another overlay layer.

•Seventh, render the colors to your heart's content.

•Adjust some color quality, brighten up your character.

•Finally, I add some border and Splinterlands Logo for finishing touch. That's it we're done!

This is so far, the most awesome artwork I've seen here on hive.. I love the way it has that 3d illustration vibe without actually being 3d. All your artwork is fantastic and I had fun previewing.. Keep up the great spirit.. You rock 😇

Wow! Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I greatly appreciate your recognition, and it really means to me to be able to do something more of what I have now, stay tuned for more soon. I will do my research first and practice more... You rock too🤘

You bet I would stay tuned xD,, and honestly, I am the one feeling recognized to be able to see and learn from your artwork creation process, it's really wonderful japex. And yeah, no one ever created anything worthwhile on the spur of the moment - research, experiment, and practice is needed ✌

Oh! I'm glad my posts here helps you bud! I really love to share my process here, hope that inspires you to create art too.. Rooting for your success and see you around buddy 🤘

OMG, this is probably your best work yet. This Kobold Miner is so lively and funny. Man, you are a rockstar of fanart!

Oh Wow! Thank you very much Flo! I really do my best here at hive, and somehow I see some progress in my art too. I'm just inspired on some other artist here that is why I really encourage myself to portray something good. Hahaha I really like this card I use it a lot. Yeah! Kobold here is very lively he just love his mining work.

Keep it up, this grind is the path to financial freedom.

Absolutely! A huge thanks to you brother and also my mentor. I learned a lot from you and I hope someday I can pay all this gratitude. I will be starting a much more complex design and you will be the first one to view it soon. I will be away for a couple of months or so, to really focus this goal in my mind. To deliver outstanding quality. This will be my last fan art entry for now, in the contest. I hope people will see the true value of this contest and for the people behind this, I will mention @castleberry here, a brother of kindness and hardwork. Bless of luck in our journey here! Have fun on HIVE! It's for everyone, community and for the people who build this platform.
