My entry for MFT’s 2022 Card Design Superstar.

Hi all! Today I have my entry for the Coloring Virtuoso category. I used the ever popular Viking. I just love him to pieces. I had so much fun trying to make him over the top with coloring. I added pencil over my Copics in several areas. Two different nuvo drops and can you believe the Axe head has 7 shades of Toner Grey?! I even researched Viking Shields to get the colors authentic to the pattern. SO MUCH FUN!!! Now, on with the Show and Tell…

Since I wanted the main focus to be the Viking and the way he was colored I decided against setting him in any type of scene. I just made him standing on a tiny hill.

His shield is traditional in color and the Axe head has 7 shades of Toner Grey! About 22 different E’s throughout!

His furry vest got the texture by using the Copic rag technique.
