Temporal Master - Splinterlands Art Contest week 186

[deadsparrow]

Hello, Folks!

I wanted to contribute something a little different from my usual posts. I don't usually paint anything Hive related, at least, not since I started on here when we were doing DTIYS challenges and stuff.

I decided to participate in the #Splinterlands weekly contest to challenge myself, since I've been having a little bit of an art block. Getting into this was more than the challenge that I expected. But I had to take it on the chin and keep going.

For transparency, I've never played #splinterlands, even though I'm a big table-top fan (not typical for a black South African guy), being an MTG fan. But there's always room to include more gaming in one's life.

Anyway..

The Fanart

Temporal Master

Process

I struggled painting this, I think most because I had been sculpting and modelling more than drawing and only got back to my bullsh*t the previous week before. This is one of the sketches I was working on until I just didn't like working on it and didn't believe in the sketch.

I feel like there wasn't any energy behind it and was too generic in the pose.

Re-Working

Sketches

Since that sketch wasn't working for me, so I went on to do a different one inspired a lot by Doctor Strange. The main idea was to stay true to Temporal Master's look in spirit but plug in a cinematic post look with a focus on character.

---

The Painting

I went on to scan and lay out the values beneath the sketches, blocking them out. I applied a gradient map to bring in some underlying tones to guide the the base colours on top.

---

Final

I meant to include how I made the Aldrich Magic circle light effects but my That's will have to wait until I can afford a proper PC with the capacity to do video capture in Photoshop without lagging or crashing Photoshop.

This was a hard painting for but it helped me dust of the cobwebs and flex some painting muscle. I hope this means I'll be painting more regularly.

Love it 😎
Glad it got you out of the art block in some way… I’m stuck for a while in it too… but to much happening around me so I can’t get in the right mindset to start again.Very cool artwork @deadsparrow

[deadsparrow]

I'm glad you like it. You'll be out of art purgatory soon. I was distracted by a lot too. But I had to brute force my way out.

[littlebee4]

You’re welcome.
That would be nice… hope it will happen soon 😁

Thank you, @eustace-kidd! I tried painting Temporal Master 3 time before figuring out that a Dr. Strange vibe was the way to go.

[eustace-kidd]

HAHA, that's freakin awesome. Let's keep up the good work.
BTW that's four kind of colors you made symbolize " MULTI-VERSE" to me.

[deadsparrow]

Lol! I only just realised that I used the same colours as the Infinity Stone (missing 2 of them). The weird thing is I actually wanted to do green but wasn't feeling it and the red was doing to be a orange. I should have just done them too, so I could incidentally have a full set.

No worries. 🙂

[jeremiahcustis]

Nice work bro! You can buy some nice gold cards or a few maxed level cards with the hive you've earned from this.

[nicosistemas5]

I like so much the different versions of the spell, great job! ^^ , I like so much the yellow version.

[qurator]

Manually curated by brumest from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

[splinterob]

That's an awesome rendition of the character. I like your portrayal better than the actual game art.
