My submission to the Holozing fanart contest right now. Junxie is a mix of a Phoenix and a Junco with an attempt at matching the holozing style.
The very first stage is was playing with the different ways I could fill the space with the shape of the bird.
Then having decided that the bottom left was my favorite I started doing some sketching.
And then some line work.
But I didn't really like how it felt so I kept working on the line work. And this fit both the cuteness of Holozing and the cuteness of Junco's much better.
And then it was time to add some colour. The pattern of the colour is inspired by fire tones and the light and dark of a junco.
From there it was time to add shading and a fire effect.
Only I thought it looked kinda well...bad. The fire effect. that is.
So I tried again and got one I liked a lot more.
From there it was just a matter of adding a name, some fine tune things and adding a background to get to here. My final submission.
@acidyo I don't mean to brag but I told my WAX friend who is an artist about Hive and Holozing and I think they are hooked now. Get ready for an onslaught of artwork based on Holozing guys 🤣
They're so cute! I can't help it.
Let's test this out!
