Tarsa Splinterlands Art Contest Week 226
Hello! How are you?
So this is my first entry to Splinterland's Art Contest. I was planning on joining this contest before, but due to burnout, last year was not a good year for me. Now I am catching up and having a lot of energy doing what I love to do. :)
Last week I decided to go for it and ask @solumviz for advice on what should I do to join the contest. BTW he is the one who ask me to join the art contest before. Thank you for the guide.
I was about to select a water card when I noticed Tarsa and thought, "She's the one". Because I love red, her hair immediately captured my attention. Although her charm can be used to manipulate others, she has a quick temper inside. I'm not related to the cute one, just the one with a quick temper. LOL.
Her character's backstory inspired the design of her face. Based on my experiences, I occasionally think that cute people are often scarier. The girlfriend of one of my classmates is little, attractive, and often irritable, so I feel horrible for her boyfriend. However, they are no longer together, and perhaps I know why.
Getting back to digital art is a positive sign. My graphic tablet got a lot of dust waiting for me to use her. The sun almost caused that tablet to break because I leave my curtain open, allowing the sun to almost burn my room. After getting slightly bloated, it is still usable. Oh thank Goodness! I just recently bought it.
The Process
I made three sketches before deciding one to use, and the first one is always the best. Her hair needed to be as free-flowing as possible. My aim this year is to clean up my line art before moving on to rendering my art because I am a messy sketcher. I agree to that.
I always like to render one place to another. If I tried to put all the base colors at once it will confused me. LOL
For this part, I added where the highlights and the shadows. It looks messy but it will get better later. Just trust the process.
Next, I render the hair. This is the part I love the most her hair. I already envision what her hair will look like.
I decided to just add the base colors.
I darken the background and added the fire so I will render where the reflection is.
I slowly added highlights and shadows to the character. And the reflection of the fire.
I draw some little sparks. And smoothen the texture of her clothes.
I added a fire to make the background lively.
For the final render, I added light behind her to make focus on her only.
It is good to be back. I finally enjoy making art using digital art I hope this continues. Yesterday is my one-year anniversary here at the Hive. I did not post a lot just a few. But now I will post more frequently. I am the type of person who focuses only on one thing at a time so I am trying my best to multitask. See you soon :)
Thank you for stopping by :))

Finally, you decided to join! To be honest I didn't expect you to participate this soon haha. It's good that you are here. I always loved your portraits. Now others can enjoy it as well.
This is a great start. She looks very pretty and you did an amazing job with the background. How do you do that XD? My brain stops working when I try to think of a background concept lolz.
Yes I did it! Hehe. I've been seeing some artists here before when I am still new here when you're still not here at hive they're posting about it this art contest. I think joining the contest is complicated so I just shrugged it off. Now that someone I knew join which is you, I remembered you asked me to join before. I was thinking about it maybe when I am feeling great so here I am hahahaha. Thanks for asking me and helping me BTW!
Thank you thank you I just use the airbrush and set the blending mode to addition and wallahh~ hahaha. That's it. 😂😂😂
I totally agree. When I saw the contest I also thought it was very complicated and I assumed that only gamers can enter this contest lol. Ozaki from artpark told me that anyone can participate after asking him. It's a big guide so people usually skips it because they are lazy like me lolz.
Thanks for the art tip hehe.
OMG!! Meee too~ that's what I know. Hahahahaha. That's why I am hesitant first. Daang! Hahaha same same ahha
Yeah yeah Ozaki. where is he now? Maybe he was busy.
Sure sure I hope it helps. Hahahaha.
Ozaki is probably busy with his studies. He is not active anymore. After the crash people left or stopped doing crypto related stuff XD and I don't blame them.
Ohh yeah. I rarely post on noise this days hehehe. The new noise is not for me. Hehhehe.
Me neither. I don't understand why someone would build an app like that. Forget about the rewards, How are we supposed to engage with creators if we don't follow each other XD. It was a dumb idea to do that. We wouldn't have even know each other if they implemented this feature on noisecash lol.
What they should have done was to add a dislike or downvote button and a reputation level. If we downvote spammers then their comments or posts should be hidden like on hive. That should have solved this problem. I heard that there was a reputation feature on noise in the past but for some reason they disabled it. I always assumed that some people abused that feature to downvote their competitors or something like that. Oh well, they failed their goal to market BCH anyway.
I know right!!! They just wasted money. Let's just say the app is still new dang they should just copy what the first version had and walla, they just made the app complicated.
You just need common sense for that for me, hehehe you know that person is spammer because of the quality he/she posted number one is the image. But sometimes if that person is good enough. Yeah ~~ maybe you're right. But sometimes downvote is kinda unfair too that's true! Yeah they just still stick to the old one... the messed up so badd. That's life hehehe
Who knows? Maybe they have some plans for the future hehe.
Yeah that's true.Lets just wait for it hehe
