Cover created and edited in Photoshop with elements from my drawing and from official HoloZing

Lately, I was looking at my #holozing art gallery, and I realized that I had basically already drawn all the characters or creatures of the game, however, there was the space for the earth element, so as you can imagine I have chosen "Wrackoo" in its original version to take...

And speaking of references during my creative process, you will see that I have used for myself, I draw some references from one of my favorite movies, "Pinocchio" (by Guillermo del Toro). And maybe you were wondering what they have about referential similarities, well you'll see it in me step by step.

As this time we are talking about earth element, so I wanted to capture something natural and wild at the same time, because of this the grass raccoon has these characteristic qualities, which helped me to start my drawing.

The face was the first thing I drew, little by little I was giving it the shape of a raccoon, because at first it didn't look like one of them at all.

I gave him a penetrating and a little scary look, because in the end I want that, so I will give a mysterious appearance to the creature that inhabits the forests somewhere.

Finally, a good hairstyle for your head would not hurt, so I drew a little high hair...

And this is where the references to the aforementioned movie come in, because when I was about to do the design or composure of the body I decided to make it thin and a little disturbing, with thin and long limbs.

What I did to merge two totally different characters like "Wrackoo" from Holozing and "Pinocchio" (by Guillermo del Toro) was simple, because both belong to nature, the raccoon is basically made of herbs and pinocchio of branches.

So there are the creative resources that I set out to combine. Like, you can see in the screenshots, I made the legs and arms thin, because they resemble branches a little, so that it makes more sense, then I will paint their hands and feet brown.

Here I've been drawing her arms

---

Draw her tummy and thighs with stinging fur

---

The design was almost ready, a few details are missing!

---

For a moment I thought I had my drawing ready, but I stopped to appreciate the design and realized that the most important thing was missing in a raccoon (its tail). So I culminated by drawing a long fluffy tail that I made in a bush style, without leaving out important details that I had to do all over the body!

---

The first layers of color were clear and simple, for the hair and for some farms of his tail I also used the same color.

For the hands and feet, I used a light brown color, because remember that these are assimilated to branches.

---

These are the main colors of the creature

---

---

On those layers of colors, I have made a few details of shadows that I have expanded with a tool called "Smudge"

---

Create more added layers on top of the original ones of the hair, where I started to give highlights with light green color and more shadows with dark green.

The little legs of branches I have painted with even more details with darker brown color and with a water brush I painted a few orange tones.

---

Wood texture with uniform stripes...

---

With light and bright green color, I made some sparkles to give life to the tail of the grass raccoon!

---

A fluffy and natural-looking tail

---

---

I made yellow staring eyes on the face of this pet.

---

When I had my drawing ready I proceeded to create a background that had similarity to the element.

Draw a few silhouettes of trees and shrubs.

---

With the selection tool I have painted the background.
