  • 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 like the amount of variety in these 3 posts. It's clear that you're not afraid to try new things, and tread on new territory. Can't wait to see more.

Thank you! I still have so much to learn so I don't think it would be beneficial to be hung up on one style yet. I try to explore as many things as possible and find what feels the most comfortable for me. At least for painting. When it comes to drawing I am pretty hung up on characters

Nice! I really enjoy the first piece you've posted and that grayscale creature you've posted two days ago looks pretty demented. I like it!

@cedricgo thank you very much. the grayscale one was a more emotionally driven piece that still needs to get finished. love your yeti animation btw :smile:

I really like the playfulness of your macho man doing the splits :smile: I imagine that's a great coffee cup to start the day with :smiley:

Ha, good to see more FMA Fan's. Welcome to the forum and yeah. If anything pops up in the future shall let you know (insights). :wink:

Another WIP. My girlfriend sent me a picture of a heavily tattoed guy she found in an old fashion book and I kind of started to doodle some stuff that ultimately turned into this. And like always midway through painting I get lost an don't really know where to go. I might revisit it sometimes in the future when I am better.

@brianhermelijn Can't get enough of FMA I watched at least once a year since it came out :smile:. I would love to hear and see more from you in the future.

@catapanoart Thank you for your advice! I just checked out your website and I am really inspired by your work. Really great stuff I would be honored to get more feedback from you.

Today I have my entry for the first weekly challenge here in the forum for you. For everyone unfimiliar with the topic it is "Undefeated Champion" a really open topic that leaves a lot of room for imagination. I went with a kind of different approach than my initial thoughts wanted me to go and ended up with this.

The true undefeated champion in war is the one who gets caught up in it and still manages to remain human.

Don't forget to check out the other awesome entries and vote for your favourite! :smile:

Since this is an art blog I thought why not do something bloggy once in a while.

I was wondering what art and the journey of becoming better at it means to you people. For me this whole art thing quickly evolved into much more than just simply getting better. I try not to only improve my skills, but also myself as a person. When I draw something that I really like and think about I pour my heart into it. It's not only a drawing it is like an representation of me, my experiences, my feelings, my opinion, all of me put onto a piece of real or digital paper. I even think I might put too much of myself in there to ever make a living of it, because I don't think I attract a big enough crowd with what I can put into it.
I would really like to hear what you think about that.

I draw because I can't visualize. I think in senses and in 'thoughts' or feelings. Rather than see something when I close my eyes and imagine, I just get the sensation of that thing being near me.

So art is my crutch. Art is how I enable myself to see what I imagine. Anyone can describe a scene, but I have to physically draw it to understand how it looks.

One of my friends, the only other person I know who can't visualize, is absolutely baffled that I can draw at all (he can barely manage a stick figure), while my brother says it helps me because he just gets frustrated that his art doesn't look how it's supposed to while he's doing it, and his inability to make hos art match his visualization is too discouraging to him... I don't know if it helps or hinders me, but it's what I live with so it's how I function.

I think the same ! When i first started this whole Photoshop and Illustrations ( when you can call it that ..but i don't have another name for it ..) I tried to give my best and put time in it , and yes it also changes me . I see the world in more detail and sometimes i just want to make photos of certain lightings or skies with interesting clouds or just objects in interesting lightning. I feel more peaceful..if that makes sense xD

Nice! He still looks as creepy as ever.
