  • 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 fellow artists! I really need some feedback because I feel so overwhelmed...
I decided to participate in the Galaxy Cutest contest by Clip Studio x Samsung x Wacom, the theme is "the cutest character in the galaxy". So I had this general idea of a hamster shaping his own galaxy with food and other animal friends. Then I had some sub-ideas and now I really need help to decide (also sorry for the number 2 being so rough but the tablet service exploded in the process). Also some corrections about the compositions will be nice, but it's not my main focus in this stage.

Some refs:

I really feel pressure because I'm preparing 2 exams for university in the process so feedbacks will help save me a ton of time instead of figuring everything by myself (and also because obviously I'm not an expert).

Thank you in advance :two_hearts:

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what's happening in 1 and 1.2. I take it he's in a hamster ball in space, but I can't tell at the moment how he's shaping his own universe. 2 is clearer concept wise, but if you want to nail the "cutest character" brief it makes sense to see the character's face as the big, round eyes are going to be the main selling point.

Unless the rules of the contest demand that the character is drawing, you could envisage to drop this idea as it seems it prevents you to use your character to its full potential, as moirae pointed out.

Hey so I looked at your art blog while thinking about what you are doing here. You have a great photo study of a mouse and some berries, so the concept of cuteness is solid.

Pandering with the tablet might be a great idea, maybe try turning the camera angle of 2 around to include more of the character. You could have it sitting on the tablet drawing and have the mirror of what its drawn on the tablet happening in the background.

As far as 1 goes, flip the guy in the big ball around so its running left to right in towards the middle of the canvas, and get to drawing. Considering what I have seen from your blog you should be fine.

Also, try not to stress. Good luck!

Sorry for not have replied faster, but thank you all! You gave me much more inspiration, I'll post the corrected versions soon :heart:

So I cleared my head and worked during a more quiet day.
Following your suggestions, I (think) made it more readable and I changed the concept into "the cutest character in the galaxy tablet". I think it's kinda funny like this.
I'm not totally sure about the size of every element, I'm gonna revise them with fresh eyes.
What do you think about it now?

Ok! So now with some color I am seeing where you are going with the ideas there.

However I do not think that the tablet portal in the top corner is clear enough to quickly convey what it is. And that problem might be compounded by the competition being on social media where its going to get compressed and reduced by the social media sites.

So I think making that part larger and more obvious would be really helpful to telling the story.

Looking cute!

@PeterH thank you, you made a very important point! I should also make a stronger silhouette, that part needs some work

WIP
I centered more the hamster, made the space less empty (but I need to adjust a bit the stars), made a bit more clear the hand and some elements

The overall composition is still unbalanced. I think you can fix that by lowering the tablet in the top left corner. It would also make clearer that the hamster is getting out of it. Finally, it would help clearing up the overall composition in allowing to remove the rocket and maybe the astronaut which don't seem to serve any real purposes except for distracting the viewer from the main elements.

@gui thank you so much!
The only thing is that I'm not sure if it's okay to delete things from the background, since a lot of people told me it was too empty and boring to watch.
I now think that's too cluttered, but without those things, it would be seriously empty.
I'll make some version with those elements shrunk and deleted so we can find a solution

A bit of progress with shrunk objects

the same but without elements

greyscale ver to show the values

Looking good!

Don't be afraid to have objects overlap themselves if you are feeling the background being too empty. The overlaps enhance the depth immediately and might help with that cluttered feeling you mentioned. Good luck fiddling with it!

Loving the colors on his ears and face :smile:
