This particular illustration was done for an indie card called Trials of the Eldar. The client was looking for a card that invoked a feeling of rebirth and regeneration. The colors chosen were mainly focused on red and green. The contrast of the colors allowed for a separation between background and figure. Additionally, the green that was incorporated into the face allowed for a connection of regrown. The addition of bugs, mushrooms, and common equipment found in the game, allowed further affirmation of the card's purpose.

Below shows my process from thumb-nailing, sketching, color mock, adjustments, and finally a full colored illustration.
