Firstly, I want to apologize for not sharing any of my work with you these few weeks. There's been a lot of development and honestly I had to take time out to sort them out. These trying times can be overwhelming if you don't have solace and that is why I am glad I do. Amidst this drowning I was able to recall the joy I feel when I draw and make entries into the #splinterlands contest. The sheer fun and thought process I put into these works often draw me from my life's situations. When I remembered this, I took my pen and started hunting for cards. I then stumbled on the Harklaw which I must confess is badass (if I may use the word). So below are the steps I took befor I accomplished this feet.

The card

The first degree was a light work. Just as I have done these past months, I didn't use my blue pen for the first layout as the body of the Harklaw only has that color as flourescence. I used my black pen and didn't assume a whole. I took the process through the eye of my reference and adopted it to what the Harklaw possesses.

After this was done, I made the little distinctions of color and depth on his face, horn and body using both pens.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUcxkNUvzW9SNBwWiZvwjD2uPD4ZqDGGJFost9EJw7Ute/hive%20dividers-10.png

I continued with the obvious and made it firm. During this process I applied depths to some necessary areas but soon noticed as I was doing this that the pen was faulty so I stopped.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUcxkNUvzW9SNBwWiZvwjD2uPD4ZqDGGJFost9EJw7Ute/hive%20dividers-10.png

The first coating of black was the next move and it was a good one. Just as I always do, I used it to map out important spots and areas so that when the shading begins (regardless of the technique, everything will fall in place)

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUcxkNUvzW9SNBwWiZvwjD2uPD4ZqDGGJFost9EJw7Ute/hive%20dividers-10.png

Following the previous step led to this and the next...

[IMAGE: https://images.hive.blog/DQmc8Lc5575HB8MBzDfwnsnJF4w6F2z8yhxMCG3y6zCAahe/IMG_2186.jpeg]

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUcxkNUvzW9SNBwWiZvwjD2uPD4ZqDGGJFost9EJw7Ute/hive%20dividers-10.png

Since this is a two color piece and the blue is something of an ornament, I decided to add some depths to the areas that surrounded this highlight so as to make them pop out more and stand out.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUcxkNUvzW9SNBwWiZvwjD2uPD4ZqDGGJFost9EJw7Ute/hive%20dividers-10.png

This was the final touch and I made efforts to blend the body. I would've made efforts towards a greater depth degree but I feared I might arm the paper and the contrast I have for some time been building.
Lest I forget, I also pronounced the highlights of the blue.

You are more than welcome to stop by any time you feel like it. I promise to always keep you entertained with my art.

>Our move?
🔹 Unite voices: Use #bilpcoin or #bpc to highlight censorship & demand accountability.
🔹 Document abuse: Share evidence of unfair downvotes, self-voting scams, and double standards.
🔹 Push for reform: Advocate for transparent governance, vote caps, and community-driven rules.

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.
