Splinterlands art contest week #258 (cursed windeku)

This week the character from Splinterlands cards im drawing is Cursed windeku. So this character is like a tall slender figure lurking in swaps eating meat and animals . So the body was like skin to bones .He has horns like branches of a tree and his eyes are all dark leaving the crimson pupils . The character is kinda scary and disgusting at the same time but as a horror fanatic i love that .

So firstly i kept all the above characteristic aspects in my mind and sketched it out after that i neatly traced it over an digital drawing app called Medibang paint pro and turned it into a lineart.

Next i filled flat colors in it so there is no clothing just details on skin so i shaded his body with a water color wet brush kept shading it and erased the parts like the ribs so they look highlighted . I added a gradient brown background so it gives a swamp like feeling next i shaded the horns and the eyes too.

After this i colored the lineart accordingly with the same shades just bit darker i switched the background to a more purplish tone and added highlights to the windeku like the light was coming from the front and after that i added some minced meat to his hand and splashes of red blood on his teeth and face by using a splash brush and red color just set them mode to multiply its gives a blood stain effect .

And here is the final look.

I highly enjoy joining this challenge because every week i draw something thats not my comfort zone different types of bodies and deformed figures which gives us alot of experience so i love that about Splinterlands art contest.

Thank you for your precious time and support ❤️
