  • 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

Sooo... for the las weekly challenge ( btw thanks to all of you that voted my entry and thanks for keeping this website alive) i did some thumnails while developing the idea, even though if i chose "Midas' suicide" this one was one of the favorites when i posted in my art blog and as I said, here I am, developing this one as well. now i want you guys to give your opinion , doesnt matter how good or bad it may be, im used to be taken down lol.
these are opportunities for me to grow and realise some of the mistakes i make or what i could do better.
this is a work in progress so i may bost updated versions soon but it is already at a pretty advanced point so ... i cant wait to hear what you have for me.
have no mercy

roast me

Hail Horizon Dweller, It is I, Sir Knight of Cubebrush! I have come to roast thou with no mercy! .... Okay not really, but thanks for helping me out with my work I couldn't help but check out yours as well. so lets cut the chatter and stir the batter shall we?

Space and lighting

  • I just want to start of with saying the composition, texture and color harmony seems on point right now (though I think some green would be great, but will talk on that later) Something I found a bit distracting is how close this necromancer or spell caster is close to the back-round

  • I know the piece is still in the W.I.P stages however, I believe depth in this illustration will be one of your biggest adversaries. Your illustration makes me feel a bit claustrophobic in that aspect.

( I have another class I have to head to now but alas, I shall return. I'll be back later today or maybe tomorrow I hope you the best my fellow art warrior.

Ave legionarivm, here under Scipion's helmet I thank you for you patience and time,
you just made me realize the hard time i'm gonna hard at adding depth to this piece, as for the bacground i was thinking of adding some scenarios worthy of Odd nerdrum or Agostino Arrivabene's work ( to me the only true and last old great masters still alive)
Claustrophobia and axiety are feelings i often portray but i try rendering them with content not with mistakes so thats something to work on for me .... i also just realized i have to fix the nose.
I thank you once again brave paladin of the arts, I hope we shall keep contact and mutual constructive feedback
have a nice class

That's amazing! Your profile says you're in high school, really?!

The only thing that seems off to me is that the brightest part (the pages) is too close to the side edge and the book corner is juust a little cropped. I think your composition will be better if you add a little more width on the left so that edge is in frame and that bright focal point has a bit more space to breathe.
The "hair" looks strange right now, but I suppose you're still working on it.
But it's really amazing, I love the contrast.

Hey @watercolour , thank you in advance for taking the time to look at my stuff and leave your thoughts, the answer to your question is yes, I am 18 years old and in my senior year but I work as an illustrator whenever I can.
Now, thanks for the feedback, tomorrow at first light I will be fixing that corner and adding some space, it would definitely help. About the hair, could you be more specific In what do you mean ?

I wish I could do stuff half this good when I was eighteen XD

About the hair - what I meant is everything else in your painting is decently detailed and it is clear what you meant to do, and the hair stands out as not-as-finished to me. I can see it's not supposed to be regular hair, but I can't tell if it should be like a tangle of roots or wires or worms. I just think it needs more detail maybe. Could be I just don't get it :smiley:
Hope this helps more.

Ohhh, get what you meant , they are external venous ramifications, that's why they look like tubes , yet I shaped them like red fire corals so that gives the overtangled look , maybe I should add more texture

Alas I have returned! And I see we have a new visitor aye? well that's just great! Anyways there was something I wasn't able to talk to you about yesterday and this was......

Lighting

  • I think you've done a great job with the lighting in this piece but there are some parts like the ravens on his shoulder that bother me. There really blending into the back-round and honestly I don't believe it's helping at all with the depth problem your having at the moment. I just wish the ravens where more prevalent in this piece! I just feel that if there's light reaching the cheek bones of his face then the ravens would also need more light!

( It's pretty cool to see that your also a high-schooler as well! it's also my senior year in high-school! keep up the great work man can't wait to see how for you can push this piece!)

  • By the way I love the soft touch of the green amulet and whatever dark greenish things are in the back. (they kinda look like trees, This setting you have reminds me of a neither realm type feel)
