  • 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, everyone.
My name is Anya, I'm an artist from Russia. I draw for games and apps but right now I'm on a forced break. I thought I'd use this time to work on my comics project and maybe take part in a couple of contests to give myself a challenge.
I hope it's not too late to start posting pictures here!

It's my first time taking part in a big international CG contest such as Art War, so any advice is welcome (as long as it's constructive and polite, haha!)

Here's the required info:

I've decided to start with the concept of a character first, I find it a little bit easier to move on to final illustration after I've sorted out the looks.
Here's the sketch of a Time Weaver, two versions. I am going for number one. I haven't decided which side she's on. I see her being able to be a champion of both - Light and Darkness. I'll make more sketches, the character needs some work on the "weaving" part as well. Then I'll solve it in colour and decide before I go for the final illustration.

It sucks you have to pick just one! I can see these two living together in a hut smack dab in the middle of a Disney adventure! They both have their own charms, though I feel the one on the left is more fleshed out/gives you more to work with. :smile: Can't wait to see more!

Thank you! Yes, it was hard to pick just one, I guess the tall one somewhat reminds me of myself, that's why I chose her XD I hope I'll manage to survive till the end and complete the task!

Okay, another stage. I've coloured the sketches to see what I can do about picking the side for the Lady. Instead I realised the whole design might be too "casual". So I'm planning to redo some details which might add more "epicness" to the final picture.

I dwelled on the light scheme yesterday. Long sleeves made her look less hipster-ish and I've started to see some potential on the side of epic. So far she reminds me of some sort of Indian setting. I plan to work on a dark side outfit today. Then look at both an maybe change something about the design altogether XD Make, compare, reflect XD

Okay, spent some time working on a dark version of this granny.
I feel v2 or v3 might work, as long as I make a humorous final (and decide on the tights' colour).
Just imagine this cute old lady being really nice to you... and then suddenly snatching all the lifetime you have left after a very polite conversation.
I've also decided to redo the light version, as it obviously depicts the same look with slight variations. I think I need a wider variety there.

Ok well you are just a crazy talented concept artist. Kudos on your colour work! Only problem is having too many excellent options to choose from!

Nice compositions. I feel like the most solid of these is V2. The character in the V1s is too small, and in V3, the character is cropped too tightly. (Little-known rule as many haven't found the full FAQ, but we're penalized if we don't show at least 80% of our characters.)
Fun character design too! I rather like the huge hat, as it feels in character and frames the head nicely. Good luck whichever you choose! :+1:

Thank you for your advice - especially about the cropping! I've read the FAQs but slipped my mind from this one! Thanks again!
I am not happy with V2, to be honest, I think I'll rework V1.2 to put the granny in the foreground.

This genuinely makes me smile; it is original, it is comical, yet she looks she she means bussiness! Go Time Weaver! As far as the outfits goes, I am a fan of the bubblegum coat, but I think you do have to keep in mind that in the illustration we have to depict the champion 'at war' --> your draft of v1.2 depicts this the best. Good luck!

Hello again!
Had to have a break to work on the scenario for my comics and some urgent search for a job! Now I'm back with a new composition.
I have finally decided on the side, Granny works for the Light.
I wanted a dynamic composition, so I drew her flying over the enemy's army and rewinding them to the babyhood. Just imagine: you are the Lord of Darkness and you are sure of your victory. You arrive to the battlefield and see your troopers crawling around as peachy-bottomed babies (drawing them will be a challenge, as I don't really like babies, I might switch to toddlers instead...)

The compositions looked rather boring, so I tweaked them here and there, adding framing and diagonals. I am thinking, V4 or V5 should work.

I am not in a good place right now, so I stopped working on this contest almost completely. I am trying to pull myself together, which is hard, as job search sucks me dry-(
Okay, enough complaining. I sort of finished with the line art (still plenty to do, but I have to move on). Also put values in.
