  • 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

these look awesome! i love your super ambient shading on the last perspective one! it looks so soft and chill! :smiley:

and yes i totally get impatient when drawing perspective XD tho if i have a very specific idea in mind, it generally goes a bit faster

Nice studies ! Don't worry haha, I'm not very patient for this sort of thing either. I always end up rushing the end or leaving it unfinished :sweat_smile:

@daceronine Thank you! I still need to find ways to make drawing backgrounds in perspective more fun haha, any ideas are helpful!
Yeah, I don't think I found the correct horizon line or vanishing points, but I felt like going into it I was too lazy to fix it lol. I should practice that more, using random references to find the horizon line and vanishing points just so that I understand it better. thank you for your feedback as always! :relaxed:
@mitsuki-youko Tank you! I felt like since I was so lazy on the details, it needed something else to make it more 3d.
And that's a good idea! I guess just copying a reference is a little dry, it would make sense to add a bit of your own touch to it to make it more interesting. Thank you!
@flex.marchal Thank you! Yeah, it's a struggle haha. But eventually, we'll figure out how to make it fun! Hopefully...lol

Not sure if this will help, but if you have an ongoing proyect, a comic or a game portfolio, you can use some of your concept ideas for these environments, since it's something you will have more investment in.
Generally it also helps to set up a perspective based on a reference, start with the reference, but modify it enough to something you might like more, like turning those city buildings into ruins, or a sci fi setting, or populate it with your own characters.
Or if nothing comes to mind, check a setting you enjoy and practice taking elements from that environment into another environment.
It gets a bit personal with your preferences, though these points have helped me have more patience with environments so far.

Just like with gestures, it also helps to set a time limit for yourself, and try to draw focusing on the key components with the time you set for yourself. For example, if you set a limit of 1 hour, or 30 mins, it will force you to focus on the key foucs points and lines (just like with gestures), and for practice doing 4 like these in 4 hours might be more beneficial than doing a single super detailed one that takes 4 hours.

It depends a lot on what you are going for.

Hey, that's really good advice, thank you! I'll work on doing that from now on! That makes a lot more sense than just like suffering through a study haha. Thank you for taking the time to send that!

these studies are so nice! I also feel so impatient with perspective, but i think it's normal when you are still learning how to work with it. It's definitely a challenge, but doing your best and not giving up are two very important things when learning a new skill!

I totally get you drawing 1-3 point perspective can get a little tedious. I think tho as long as you know what you are doing and can understand how objects work in a space I think it should be ok without drawing every little detail.

As someone who has a love/hate relationship with gesture drawing, I can tell you that you are doing great with it, you are capturing the overall flow and the key features of the body to really exaggerate the pose.
Great job as well with the environment studies.
Keep it up.

@AveCosmo @uggievang Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about perspective haha. But I agree, doing things that aren't quite as exciting is a part of learning to draw! :relaxed:
@Rodo Thank you, I really appreciate that! Yeah, I agree that I also have a love/hate relationship with it, I get impatient at times but it's also fulfilling to see improvement. Thank you!

I like your studies. They're pretty close to the originals. I like the interior line work. It's pretty clean. The shading on the building is pretty good.
I haven't practiced perspective in a while, but I want to practice with what I see here.

:tada: :tada: Term 1 Complete! :tada: :tada:

I had a blast completing all the assignments and interacting with you guys! Thank you all for your feedback and support! I'm sure the term 1 grind will continue but I feel like I've got a good enough understanding of the concepts to continue. Just for fun I compiled some of the assignments and work I did. I've learned so much, and I'm super excited to continue!


Good Luck with the grind everyone! :fire:

Congrats!!!!
If you feel like you have what's necesary for Term 2, it's amazing.
I'm looking forward to see your work.
