S108 Isley - Rising Star FanArt [ENG/ESP]

Hello friends, Rising Star community and all of Hive, I hope you're having a lovely day. After some time away, I'm returning to the community to contribute my little grain of sand. Reading the latest posts from the community, I see the buzz surrounding this character—and what better way to join in than with a fan art? It's about card S108 Isley. I hope you enjoy this post and the fan art. Let's go!

Hola amigos, comunidad de Rising Star y todo Hive, espero que estén teniendo un muy lindo día. Después de un tiempo, regreso a la comunidad para aportar mi granito de arena. Leyendo las últimas publicaciones de la comunidad, veo el revuelo que hay con este personaje, y qué mejor que hacerle un fan art. Se trata de la carta S108 Isley. Espero que les guste este post y el fan art. ¡Vamos allá!

This legendary saxophonist, known as S108 Isley, is leaving an unforgettable mark on the entire world of music. He captivates with his melodious and smooth sound, evoking the warm days of summer and nights filled with rhythm and celebration. Without a doubt, this is a legendary card that everyone will want to own—and it's essential for completing certain missions.

Este saxofonista legendario es conocido como S108 Isley y está dejando una huella insuperable en todo el mundo de la música, ya que cautiva con su melodiosa y suave música, recordando los calurosos días del verano, con noches que se llenan de ritmos y celebraciones. Sin dudas, esta es una carta legendaria que todos querrán tener y es muy necesaria para completar algunas misiones.

For my fan art, I wanted to draw inspiration from the elements that make the card unique—from the character to the color palette—but rendered in a style closer to mine: more comic-like and less realistic. I also chose to add the Rising Star logo at the top, as it evokes the old music magazines from the 2000s. I worked on a background using simple assets and textures from my collection, in orange tones. Elements like the saxophone gave me a bit of trouble, especially since I don’t usually draw many musical instruments, but in the end I think it turned out quite well. I like its blue color and the little white stars—I believe they give it that touch of magical yet grounded music that the original card embodies.

Para mi fan art quise inspirarme en los elementos que hacen única a la carta, desde el personaje hasta la paleta de colores, pero en un estilo más parecido al mío: más tipo cómic y menos realista. Además, quise agregar el logo de Rising Star en la parte superior, ya que recuerda las viejas revistas de música de los 2000. Trabajé en un fondo con assets y texturas sencillas de mi colección y en colores naranjas. Elementos como el saxofón me dieron un poco de trabajo, sobre todo porque no acostumbro dibujar muchos instrumentos musicales, pero al final creo que también resultó muy bien. Me gusta su color azul y las pequeñas estrellitas blancas; creo que le dan ese toque de música mágica pero terrenal que tiene la carta original.

With everything ready and visualizing our card and those summery vibes, we begin to draw—and as it could only be, we start with the general sketch, laying out the structure of our form. I want to respect the original card design as much as possible.

Bueno, con todo listo y visualizando nuestra carta y esas vibras veraniegas, comenzamos a dibujar y, como no puede ser de otra forma, empezamos por el boceto general, dando la estructura de nuestra forma. Quiero respetar al máximo posible el diseño de la carta original.

After much trial and error—especially with the saxophone—we now have the general idea of our character ready. But since it's only a sketch, it's time to move on to the line art. So we switch to my favorite line art brush and begin drawing, selecting which parts of the sketch we’ll keep.

Después de mucho ensayo y error, sobre todo con el saxofón, ya tenemos lista la idea general de nuestro personaje. Pero como solo es un boceto, hay que ponernos un poco con el line art, así que cambiamos nuestro pincel a mi pincel favorito de line art y comenzamos a dibujar, seleccionando con qué partes del boceto nos quedamos.

It's time to start coloring our drawing, so we begin with a block of solid color to define the boundaries of where we should apply color. Then, we start adding colors by sections, respecting the general palette. Within those colors, I’ll begin applying some highlights and shadows to achieve better volume and depth.

Ya es hora de colorear nuestro dibujo, así que comenzamos con un bloque de color sólido para definir hasta dónde debemos colorear, y seguido comenzamos a dar los colores por sectores. Estaré respetando los colores generales; después, dentro de esos colores, iré aplicando algunas luces y sombras para lograr mejores volúmenes y profundidades.

With all the highlights and shadows in place, our character is now complete—but that won’t be all, because we’ll also be working on the background.

Con todas las luces y sombras ya tenemos nuestro personaje listo, pero eso no será todo, ya que estaremos haciendo el fondo también.

Well friends, to summarize the entire process, I’ll leave you with an animation of the full journey—a little recap. I hope you enjoy it.
