  • 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

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

Hi I'm Aria, I've been on heist from practice for quite a long time and I have been in bad places recently, took me awhile to get back to drawing or getting my confident back so will be posting some of my work here . here's a fan art of Seraphine from League of Legends.

Dear Aria,

Judging by the illustration that you posted I have to say 2 things:

1) If you decide to quit, the world will be a poorer place because of it. You have such a great understanding of anatomy, values, palette, OMG you even used a texture to polish your drawing which shows you don't half-ass things. This is the kind of quality art the world needs, which means the world needs YOU. So do mankind a favor and get back into the amazing journey of art, for all our sakes!

2) Everybody feels down and untalented at times. It's absolutely normal and impossible to prevent that from happening. The secret is to keep going forward! Hey if Brad Rigney calls himself a hack, what should we call ourselves? XD
Failure will keep you humble, and through humility you will stay level-headed and focused. And that's a good thing!
I leave you with this bit of the magnificent Karla Ortiz. I watch it every once in a while to get perspective.
Good luck and keep drawing!

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment Q_Q I have been having a bad week and your comment really made my day. QwQ I will try my best to continue with art. Really thank you . I needed that so much.

Hi Aria! It's definitely tough sometimes to do art when things get hard and I think it's alright to take a break from it if gets too difficult and come back with a fresher mind. But I think it's important to never give it up if it's something you like and make you feel good. And your art is definitely lovely and so I hope you will keep creating more :+1:

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments, it really helped me get pass the wall. Not gonna lie I still have that thinking but right now I'm just trying to put my art out and also try to learn how to get commissions so I can at least provide for myself. I have some friends recommending me to do stickers but will do that when i'm ready. Cause I am still having hard time to provide for myself. here is a portrait practice I did. I tried drawing things the way I love instead of other's way. I was really happy on how it came out. If you guys have any advice for Freelancing, commissioning or Fiverr , please leave it here. A little tip or advice goes a long way.

That's a lovely portrait! I'm glad you found motivation to keep going. As for freelancing, well I don't have a lot of experience, but putting yourself out is good as people will be able to find you. I've had a few jobs like that where the person just saw my work and liked it enough to commission me. You can also try to find and contact some local or small businesses and publishers that you think could need the type of art that you do.

will try, but t he local business thing will be a bit hard for me ^^;;
