Splinterlands Art Contest // Week 163 - Molten Ogre's charge
Hello hive !
Here's my entry for Week 163 Splinterlands Art Contest.
For this one, I tried to imagine how would render a somewhat realistic version of the Molten ogre in action.
I planned to do it for week 162, but I clearly underestimated the time needed to reach a decent quality.
Made with Art Rage Vitae.
(Splinterlands' logo is Splinterlands' property)
Creation stages in video, replayed with artrage's script which memorized the strokes during work... (until it decided it wouldn't anymore):

As always, I started with a blurry idea of what I expected and jumped into creation from abstract forms that awaited to be molded into... something.
That's all for now !

Thanks :)
Es un trabajo impresionante 👍
Espero quedes entre los mejores.
Muchas gracias @rowell :)
El hecho de haber trabajado en él dentro de un límite de tiempo -más o menos 😁- me hizo progresar. Independientemente del resultado de la semana, será una buena satisfacción en sí misma 🙂
I will abandon these contest, I am disappointed when the winners i feel that they really are no better than other arts that participated.
It is great that they help the community but it discourages me to see arts that are good, but not better than others that did not win.
I will still do my splinterlands fanart, but out of the contest. I guess they just want to help more people.
I can understand :)
As I'm not that much of a competitor, the contest mainly gives me motivation to focus on a topic while working, without going out of control and never finish the illustration :)
Contest or not, I'm eager to see your fanarts to come :)
I really admire artist who puts their effort in giving away the step by step process of their art. It really help us know how you create your piece and learn from it. Well done dude!
Thanks mate :)
I must admit it can be kind of a burden to add milestones during an ongoing work where we have to save specific steps.
That represents some more work charge after the moment we think we've done with the illustration itself and would want to take a breath.
But it's profitable to keep track of the process:
-for other people who may like to see the picture's building, that's a kind bonus gift.
-but also for the artist later, as a long term self-criticism resource.
I agree with that it might be somehow burden but this is what we do. We are happily sharing this work from scratch to finish. Not only helping the art community but also for those people who just look and view our art in a significant manner. Keep it up dude!
its always a pleasure to see artwork that tell a story, great job
Thanks a lot :)
As I'm not good at illustrations (not disciplined enough for that), trying to inject some storytelling when working is the main point that makes me approach this domain from time to time :)
I must admit that I prefer working on abstractions or random creations, for their freedom of execution though :)
well it works well or you, iv checked out some of you posting, those of that like a horror side remind of the old black MGT cards, pretty good
