  • 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

Hello cubebrush!
My name is Poppy, and I am a 2D artist about to graduate with a bachelor's degree. I have decided to join the sea of young fledglings looking to improve and one day make it in the concept art and game art industry.

This blog will be a mishmash of any art I turn out during the day (or night!), from sketches to finished pieces, bad or good. It will act as a sort of timeline, or journey. I hope you find it interesting!

As I stand now, my art could use some serious work. Any critique would be much appreciated. Tear me apart! I want to grow and learn as much as possible.

Here is my most recent complete paintings, it will be a good starting point as any!

My most advanced work right now. The cathedral (my first architecture painting) was a killer, but so far environments have been interesting to start experimenting with. I hope to do more in the future.

Cute deadly bunny idea. This was mostly fur practice, but it was fun playing with lighting a little too.

A cute painting done for my followers on facebook mostly. No real design here, but it's where I'm at rendering wise. I am really trying to improve my human anatomy, the fairy is kind of wonky I think.

Right now I am working on a character concept, you can see two parts here, I shall update as I build each part.

A face study I did a few days ago. I painted the same face twice, and improved slightly. I think it got a little to close to overwatch's sombra... opps. What do you think?

Wing ideas for the same character, she is a dragon/human hybrid. I'm actually curious if these sorts of creatures are ever done. I don't see them often. I am using version 2 for this character.

As you can see, I have been taking on larger, more complicated painting projects. My true passion, however, lies in concepts. That being said, from this point forward I will be doing character, creature, and environment work, and straying from finished illustrations for now.

The purpose of this blog is to ask for help from and be part of a community of awesome artists with experience and skill. I would love to know: where do you think I stand as an artist? What are some things I should improve on? What things am I ok at? Any sort of feedback would be appreciated.

Here is my deviantart account if you are interested in seeing more. http://whitegoldink.deviantart.com/
Thank you for looking!

Oh wow!!! I love what you have here! It's so colourful and creative and very beautiful! If you're open to a bit of feed back, I'd recommend that you practice rendering an illustration with hard stokes as opposed to a soft airbrush. But I really do admire what you've done so far. Keep up the good work! :sparkles:

Thank you! I am very open to feedback, and that sounds like a great idea, I shall try a hard stroke render painting.

You have an awesome eye for color, Poppy! Your fantasy paintings are lovely too. If I had to offer some critique, it would be to work on anatomy (which you appear to be doing already, so good job!).

And this is purely personal preference, but for your half dragon character--maybe consider continuing some of the motifs you have on the wings to her face/skin as well? She's already beautiful, but I think blending some dragon into her human features might convey her half-bloodedness even more. :smile: Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the forums! I'm in much the same spot as you; trying to improve but not being exactly sure how. The eyes on the bunny are absolutely adorable! I'm looking forward to seeing more posts! =)

Thank you! You are very right, I need to set some more time aside and work on my anatomy. Your suggestion for my character is great! I will definitely unify the entire design more as I go along.

I saw your kitsune design, very impressive! Your girls too, they are beautiful. I think we have a similar love for detail and bright sparkly colors XD. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your artwork around Jennifer.

It is quite the mystery! Thankfully just being on here for a day has helped me find at least 6 things to improve on, so I am sure you will be able to find advice as well.

Thank you for the complements!
