  • Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?
  • Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with you

Hi there!
I wanted to start a small project with a realistic goal to practice and improove, so i decided to make a 3 page long story. I already have finished sketches for the first two pages and wanted to ask for some tips.
But im not planning to change a lot anymore since i dont want to spend to much time on it. But some future tips would be really appreciated, or maybe pointing out some crucial mistakes.
Ill ad the speech bubbles digitally once im done with everything, the only panel im unhappy with rn is the last one where the sunglasses fall to the ground. Any advice or reference?
Thanks!
ps it plays in a bathroom

Thanks for stopping by the critique section, wow the third one in two weeks its been dead in here for months.

Quick question - do you have a style guide you are aiming for or just winging it for the sake of practice? It might also include art "gods" or "art parents" that you aspire to have similar finish towards.

I will work on a comprehensive critique covering all your concerns, please check out any of my other comprehensive critiques while you wait. Just look for the mowhawk zombie head.

(and just an fyi - when you finish and work really hard on it - and post here again it will be able to push you further than you can go at that level of finish for next time)

Hi there, thanks in advance!
To be honest the practice is mainly there so i can finally finish something (even if its just a small "project", im getting desperate). :dizzy_face:
I didnt really have an art parent in mind, but i guess the style that comes the closest is the one often present in early 2000´s anime (like ergo proxy and paranoia agent)

I will try to post the last page as soon as possible. Besides, i think i want to remove the action lines at the second page, i dont feel like they fit with the emotions i try to convey.
And also the panel of the hand (second page 1st picture) still looks to stiff (i wanted to portray him gripping onto the sink tightly).
Again a big thank you that you want to help!
ps i didnt quite understand what you mean with your fyi, sorry

Nice!

On the fyi- Oh I mean when you finish a project - and ask for critique on that - it will really push you further because your version of finished is a representation of your current skills, knowledge and execution.

And I suggest that only because - Finding stuff that is wrong from other people before moving forward while your in the middle of current project is fine if it’s like an art director - but if it’s a personal project you will know better than we probably ever will as internet randos. You seem to have a good grasp on it.

I will probably be able to post on Wednesday night or Thursday mid day. Anything you add before then I will try to incorporate. Ask for critique on the finished one as well if you want.

Disclaimer

Any drawings I attempt - are not - what your artworks are supposed to look like. This critique is to help you see something you may not have noticed before in an attempt to help you move forward to the next step. My critiques are based on subjective influence from my own experiences and tastes.

Overall Critique -

I think this is great. Nice intent set forward at the beginning to finish a quick project.
You will learn more, the more you finish.
So get too it.

One of the main things that I noticed was that your sketching was kind of scratchy. If it is possible, I suggest you start thinking about things in shapes, that can be drawn with large, accurate strokes. Not only will this make your projects go faster and save you time, it will make you start to think in a way that illustrators do with curved vs. straight lines in their shapes - and actually design characters with intent! That intent being shape language.

For where this is right now - overall its fine. Many if not all of these things that I have pointed out will be fixed by you while you re-draw, ink, marker, whatever your medium is.

Until you finish, we can't point out much more. You are on the right track. Just push on through. And if you want to critique the final product or just post it - your call. Treat it as the learning experience it is and move on.

In the future dont worry too much about, "I want to catch things that are wrong before I move on." mindset. The process itself of you finishing, IS THAT. That is what finishing is. Catching problems and fixing them, until there is nothing left to fix. Keep doing that to your own pieces by being your own worst critic. When you post that for critique - only then will you see where your skills are limited in their knowledge and execution by being shown what could be even better.

Keep pushing forward. This project is looking great and I think all you really need is to put some road behind you.

Best of luck!

Woah, tahnk you so much! :fire:
Not only is the feedback amazing, but also a huge motivation boost, ill finish all 3 pages and post the results here.
Btw how often can i ask for feedback? Of course it would be great to get some opinions of others with each finished project, but i think im asking for to much there.
