Splinterlands Art

I took the Ant Miners for today’s art and pixelation. Let’s see how I arrived at the final output. I stayed consistent with my theme of part-real and part-pixelated images. That’s what we will see in this post, too.

Here is how the final one came out.

How did I arrive at this? It took me some time, and here is how I went about it.

Let’s see how.

Starting Up

The original picture, as I had.

Then, I added the pixelation to the entire image.

Then, on to the final touches.

Thereafter, It Was About Bringing Everything Together

A closer fine tune and image readjusting is what happened next. Here is what it looked like:

And finally, fixing the background.

I wonder if the art is better with the background or not. What do you think? Anyway, I keep the one with the background but I would like to know your choice. 😊

I hope you enjoyed the art journey with me.

Now, how about we spend a minute to get to know Splinterlands? Let’s do it.

A Word On The Game and Picture | What Game is Splinterlands?

Splinterlands is a digital card game that allows you to collect, trade, battle, rent, and even earn from the cards. ***The game gives Play to Earn a whole different meaning.*** By now, you would know that the governance token (SPS) airdrop made millionaires out of the early adopters. It still keeps giving and remains a fun and engaging game.

To give you an idea of how lucky you can get in Splinterlands, read my story of getting cards worth $500 from buying only a few packs worth $20.

Got Cards Worth $500 from $20 Packs

And this is just a tiny number. I have witnessed people getting uber-expensive cards in their pack and selling them for as high as $6500. In fact, there is a whole Splinterlands marketplace on the Hive blockchain and now on Wax too. Not to mention the Rebellion packs are on sale as we speak.
