  • 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

This is a really interesting composition you have here. I really like how the eye is cousciously directed toward the main subjet. The dog is well defined by the way!

Alright, the first thing I would suggest is to darken the image - even if you are afraid to, this is a night scene, this as to be dark. You can't paint the sky light blue because the sun isn't shining, here you have a lamp and the surface affected by its light is pretty limited compared to the sun.
In fact, the light difused by the lamp will help to define the scene. It's almost like making some "clair-oscur" : you paint light on to of a dark background. Contrast is the key in this type of scene so do'nt be afraid to widen your value range.
Be aware of the color of the light you're using because it will affect the overall atmosphere: Whites will becore orangish- blue will become a desaturated green - green will become a desaturated yelowish green, ... etc. The general hues will automatically become warmer and more or less desaturated if it's a warm or a cool color.
If you you are not sure, I will suggest to study from photos or at least getting the overall colorscheme from it befor trying to reproduce it. ( I know color pincking could be bad but if you learn from it it's good. )

To add some deph I would suggest to darken the background around the two lamps and may be adding a rim light coming from the left.

Paint over help me making these critique so I let you with this one :

If something isn't clear, ask me. Hope it helps!

(I still love the dog so much. He looks so fluffy.)

Thanks so much for the reply, your tips were really helpfull and thanks for the paint over, it really shed some light (hah) on what should I focus. Will be posting more of the progress later!

Hi! Worked on top of previous tips (thanks @corne-branche for the help) and now I'm needing some little help and feedback again. It feels like there's something missing yet, maybe more details? I'm afraid of over rendering the whole thing tho.

Thanks for the help!

Theres no need to fear! Exofley is here! ( you might want to start fearing now) Alright I looked at this a lot and really tried to figure out the substance this piece was missing and it's honestly something fairly simple. I feel in often times when we feel like we're missing something we look so far out we can't see the thing right before are very eyes. Enough ramblings lets get on to the real show!

Concept & Ambience of the piece

  • Now when I first saw this I thought to myself, wow this is going to be an amazing piece! (and that dog is too dang cute) but more importantly I myself didn't think anything was missing but then I dug a bit deeper inside of me and I too got the feeling of a lack of substance. I believe what you are missing is making your viewer understand and connect with your piece through emotion, experiences, etc. I also feel you can upgrade your concept a bit more as well. When I thought about it for a while I saw the small girls as fairies that only dog is able to see. (say for example you took on that concept, there'd be a lot more substance with your piece)

  • How so? ... let me explain. There'd be so much more for the viewer to understand and attach a story to something they can relate to ya' know? Plus i feel like this piece would benefit from some cool fairy wings and shimmering gold fairy dust however, this is completely my opinion and example. You can tailor this piece on however you want your audience to feel when they see it.

(I'm REALLY late to class so I'm going to have to end it here, this is a great piece so far keep it up! I know you can go beyond this however, keep experimenting. I wish you the best throughout your artistic journey in the realm of Cubebrush!)

Exofley, signing out.
