CELTS! - Smite Art Challenge

Added 2021-01-31 19:25:10 +0000 UTC

Hi guys! Yesterday I finished and submitted my entry for Fan Forge Smite Art Challenge and it's currently under revision/approval before it goes live for rating/voting. You can also see some merchandise mock-ups that in case of being selected, you will be able to purchase directly from Fan Forge online store as licensed official Smite merch! :)

This project became something more ambitious than I initially envisoned and I'm very proud of the final result not only because I worked very hard on it but also because it allowed me to develop and put my drawing capabilities in practice into a real project in a professional way. Since Hades hype back in late 2020, that game's art direction really made an impact in my art style: It encouraged me to develop further my cel-shading art style and improve my coloring and shading, and it also has allowed me to grow and feel more confident about my own art style. You may recall I didn't use to make those black high contrast areas before and seems they're becoming a signature things by now.

Speaking of Hades, I announced in my previous post that I wouldn't be able to have Hermes drawn within January due to time constrain since the Smite Art Challenge took me way longer than I expected so as long as you were billed for Janury, you still will get Hermes' art rewards (according to your tier) even tho I will have it done until early February.

HD + Artsteps + PSD + Timelapse Videos of Smite project will be part of January term.

Thanks everyone for your kind support and for making this and many other projects possible! :))
