  • 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

Hi there!
I'm currently working on this illustration and it isn't finished yet. The white water bubbles need to be replaced so I won't be needing feedback on that necessarily.
Would love your feedback on the composition and colours. Should I move the whale up a bit more or tilt her a bit? Should the whale's back be rounder to make everything appear more natural? Something else I should add or change?

I'm painting this with my trackpad so I can't paint soft edges easily*

I see what you're going with by having the tail part lower than the front part of the whale, but it just looks a little odd. Maybe try shrinking that gap a bit to make it seem a bit of a softer change? That was really the only thing that stood out to me. The rest looks pretty amazing.

I really like the illustration you made and I can't really think much that should be changed. I guess you could add a blowhole on the whale? Followed by a little bit darker background and a reflection in the water? However the illustration the way it is currently looks really nice.

I really like the sail/fabric thats billowing by the boat, its a very nice way to anchor the viewers attention to the piece just by simply having a small bit of orange against all the blue.

With what veroxid said, i think the tail could use a bit more polishing. It's a bit of a harsh turn and makes it look more like a paper figure than organic. Maybe having the main body turn a little more to make the transition to the bends a bit smoother? Only around where the tail connects with the body area so you don't have to do any large edits and see how that looks.

Other than that the piece is looking fantastic, I look forward to seeing your progress.

@kurisil @thunderdumpling @veroxid

I think I managed to finally finish this piece. Thank you so much for your feedback. Had lots of feedback from @Shia as well. As you can see now the tail has changed, the bubbles are clouds now and some other small changes were made. The tail got connected to the body more smoothly but there's a cloud in front of that now, heh.

Sorry for the low quality photo. Don't want it to be sold by Ebay people. The texture in the water is real, though.

'Revenge'

It might just be my screen, but the top of the whale is all but invisible to me against the blue background. Was that intentional? Is it meant to be appearing from the darkness?

It was meant to be coming from a darker (not darkness) and more distant spot but it isn't my intention to make it look smooth because I focused on the atmosphere and bigger picture more. It's a sketch and practise that got out of hand and my intention didn't come across the way i had hoped. :blush:

Which one do you prefer? T^T Asked around and it's 2-2 now

I like the top one. I think it tells more of a story. Cool poses too!

@kyteki Thanks a lot! Unfortunately my teacher didn't like either of them -_- So I'll leave these as they are but your opinion really helped me out.

I like the bottom of the two. I find the strong contrast with the light and sharp silhouettes makes it an interesting image. Nice to see the variation and that you are implementing feedback.

Looking forward to seeing more work on this page :smile:

Still a sketch... kinda. Took a picture of my sketch and imported it into Photoshop and traced the lion.
I could really use your feedback, especially for the person at the bottom. He's supposed to be overwhelmed and terrified, but I can't really put the picture in my head on paper. :persevere:
Any tip, paintover or whatever is as always welcome :smile: :kissing_heart:

Where are your vanishing points in this piece?
The ambiguous mass of clouds gives us no real reference point to work from. If there were walls, rocky stalagmites, etc the upward, towering angle would be more apparent and we would have a frame of reference. At the moment it could be a normal sized lion trying to eat ant man, there is nothing else in the image to tell us otherwise.
Photo reference I think is the key for the scared figure, maybe from film stills of characters in a similar situation? Bilbo and Smaug for example.

Hey, sup kiger. I really like your color combos and the tones. I realize this is horribly late :yum: hahaa but i still wanted to help as best as i could.

ok Im not sure if the whale was meant to be the focal point or the boat. But it seems like the whale has discovered this human on a boat. So with this first example i would recommend having the whale's face point toward the boat instead of to the left side of the painting. I get that the whales left eye is the light source, but idk It feels like the two illustrations contrast to me.

But if you really want to keep the face in the same position I would recommend thinning out the back a bit and erasing the tale so it looks like he just flew in between those aurora lines.

Hope this helps :blush:

Thanks a lot for the paint over! But it's a bit too late now. I've already handed in the illustration and it was approved although they thought the water was too still. I really like your second idea! But the first idea was something I tried out before and although it was the picture I had in my mind it kinda broke the composition. One side got too "heavy" and the whale couldn't fit inside the frames.
I won't change it again because I lost the original .psd file and this illustration has had its purpose.

Would love to get feedback on the anatomy and pose. I know the hands are a bit off and I don't care about them while I'm having difficulties drawing the breasts. And usually I only draw male bodies so this is extra challenging for me.

As always, any feedback is welcome. : )

Hi :blush:
I like the stylyzed look and how clean your lines are ^^
The pose is nice and not stiff, which is good, though whithout seeing where is she actually standing, it feels, like she just tripped over something cause of the twist going on with her legs and left ankle especially. Anatomicaly I think the knees need a little fix, especially the right one. Don't know if i can explain it right, but the right knee has a really weird edge on the side of the leg, where it looks like if the leg was made of two separate pieces.
Hope my opinion helps in some way :blush: I am definitely interested in the final result, if this is going to be a finalized character at some point ^^
