  • 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 have been working on a big project for some months now. However it is still on the backburner, because there is another project I wish to finish first.
So right now I am just sort of low key designing characters, creatures and environments and slowly working my way towards a first draft.
Feedback at this stage is very welcome.


The current working title is "Jay - Demon Hunter" and it is going to be a fantasy, action-adventure comic/manga about a demonhunting shapeshifting desert witch, a half-demon refugee librarian and a mysterious cloaked sword-wielding lady going on an epic quest.

I want to try pitch this to some publishers in the future. I have my eye on some Dutch, Belgian and German publishers.

Let's first introduce some characters. These are all very early stage designs, so they are still prone to changing.

Main characters
Jay

Demon hunter, living in the desert. Was taught the trade by an old
desert witch. Has the ability to see people's colours (auras) and has
very unusual colours themselves.
Very muscled and solid. Has dark features, a short Mohawk, wears a lot
of jewellery and is covered with Hindu inspired tattoos. Can shapeshift
and changes sex by will, but is gender fluid. Male and female physique
is very much alike.
Loves to be around people, but feels rather awkward interacting with them. Is a demon tracker, but has never yet killed a demon.

Mika

Male half-demon, who does not know his own heritage. Never knew his
father. Is the librarian in a small desert town. Is a refugee from the
grand city of Raniya.
Tall man with dark skin, curly hair and four arms. Has a runner’s
physique. Wears capes of wide, billowing shirts to hide his extra arms.
Is a bit uncertain about how people will react to his inhuman
appearance, so he is overly friendly and loud to compensate. Is a very
cuddly person.

Asira

Is a traveller from beyond the desert. Is an adept sword fighter. Demons
have her father trapped and she needs the jewel of Ime to free him.
Small human woman, wearing robes that cover everything but her eyes. Has dark skin, dark eyes and strong eyebrows.
Is strict and keeps her eyes on the goal. Is very clever, but can come
across as cold, distant and caclulating. Has some prejudice against
demons, because demons took her father.

Side characters
Per

Demon king of Raniya.
Very tall, all bones, has horns and large wings. Has no eyes on his face, but the rest of his skin is covered with them.

Neela

Tiny, young girl with dark skin and frizzy hair put up in buns.
Has to take care of her sick mother. Sells flowers to help support her family.

Esra

Leader of the resistance.
Red-haired, strict looking, Fae woman.

Zahrah

The old desert witch. Used to be teacher of Jay. Lived in an old shack in the desert.
Is a tiny, old, human woman covered in tattoos and jewellery. Is very
skinny, but not frail and wears old scraps for clothes. Walks around
barefoot.
Is currently deceased and “has become part of the desert”.
Creatures

Sanddemon

Small predatory, animalistic, fox-like demons, with bodies made entirely from sand.
Live in packs in the desert.

Here is how I came to these current character designs.

Jay

Jay is the eldest of all the characters (in their creation not their age in the story). So the first pictures above are actually from winter 2014, right up untill the "paper" turns beige.

Of course, I am also doing loads and loads of studies!
