  • 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

About the character


I've been wanting to make a female demon character with big horns and all that. And thanks to the theme of this challenge, which is rather vague, Light or Dark, i made this character.

She was born in the Dark side, being the daughter of one of the Great Demon Kings and all. She served under her father as one of his general. Fighting alongside evil and spreading despair unto the world. But even then, she was never truly evil. She only fight those that oppose her father, and never kills the innocent.

After finding out that her own father is the one who killed her mother centuries ago, she resolved to seek revenge for her mother and kill her own father. Knowing that, her father banished her from the kingdom.

She joined the Light side to bring justice for her late mother, and seek redemption from the people that she once terrors.


Reference sheet


Update_01


Here's my first update. Made the body and head. Blocked in the hair and horns. Polypainted the face a little too. Right now the face kinda resembles a certain model for some reason, i'd like to try to make it a bit more Asian as that's what i was going for. At this point she reminds me of Kaguya from Naruto. But maybe that's just me lol. The eyes still look too flat so i'm definitely going to shade it more later.

There's still a lot to fix before adding her clothing. I don't have any idea what kind of clothing would i put on her later though.

Critics are Welcome!

Nice, I like the back story. Looking forward to see this develop.

Update_02


Lower the eyes a little bit. Makes her looks better imo. Polypainted the eye more and shaded it a bit. I decided to give her a more interesting looking pupil than the regular ones. I think i'm going to use silver and gold as her theme, still not sure though.

I'm still aren't sure about the hairstyle. But i'll get to it.

Clothing Concept


I messed around in photoshop today, mixing some clothing designs i found online and got to this.

I'm not that good at 2D, i know. But i'm getting there. This concept is really rough and i'll definitely be messing around with it more. For now, this is the baseline of how the clothing would be.

I'm open to any suggestion! :smile:

Hi Cal! Really dig the style your going with her clothes! Keep updating ^.^

Hair Update_03


Did some detailing for the hair. Finally figures out how the hair looks. And i'm quiet happy with it. It went far off from the one i illustrated earlier, like wayyy off. It's fine though, this one looks much better on her and kind of fit what i had in mind for her hairstyle at first.

Now onwards to the part where I have the least experience.. Clothing design.. Why am i so bad at this..

14 days later

Update_04


I haven't been really active here.. Been really busy preparing for school stuffs.. I have very little experience with clothing too.. I know these sounds like an excuse but please spare me.

I scrapped off the clothing design i had earlier and made a new one, a totally different one. I figure this one looks better than the previous one. At least now i have some kind of concept in my head for the clothing.

This week i'm gonna be just as inactive as before since my try out exam will start.

16 days later

More update

Now i'm pretty sure that i won't be able to finish this project in time. Well it can't be helped.. Been really busy with tons of exam, this being my final year in high school doesn't help. I tried my best to spare sometimes for zbrush.

Well anyway.. enough whining, here's some update.

I changed the color scheme, focusing on the black white contrast. I toned down the gold in her hair and made it a little brown instead. I also changed her horns to black, it looks much better on top of her white hair.
I will add some more armor later, i'm still not sure what or where to put it.
