  • 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

Hello! I go by DaCeroNine in the internet. I just bought the Art School course and I'm very excited to get started! I have very few accounts on the internet I keep up to date, but most of my content can be found here in one way or another:

I've been interested in digital arts since forever. I was originally going to make it my main career, but circunstances took me to specialize in programming and sofware QA. I don't regret it, I also love what I do a lot (and it pays well), but I could never get my mind away from wanting to do something on the digitial arts space.

Back in the day, taking professional digital courses was simply out of my reach, not to mention the accessories required to even get started were way too expensive. This changed a lot in the last 10-15 years, and so, here I come back to pursue one of my life passions.

For now, my main focus is the webtoon I have in the link above, Nozomu. It's a story I've always had cooking in my head and I'm finally spending some time and resources to develop it. I believe I'm "OK" when it comes to drawing, but I REALLY want to develop my skills further. To be the best I can be at it and maybe eventually become good enough to make of this my main living.

Regardless if I can live off my digital art skills, I'm feeling fullfilled and happy by simply being able to pursue this career and I know I will continue to work on webtoons/manga and digital arts for as long as I am able to.

I'll try to post progress as I move through the course, though I will probably go slowly at it due to my work schedule.

Welcome! Can’t wait to see your work

Cheers

eyy welcome to the forums! nice webtoon though i only had time to read the first ch. Ur art reminds me of Dragon Ball Z tho ive never watched the anime lool

Nice to see another artist looking to get into webtoons :smiley:
I also want to publish a webtoon someday though i'm still plotbuilding and world building it (its a large story with 2 worlds, 5 mc's and 100's of side characters)

I'm also planning to animate 6 trailers for it and hopefully make my own music for it as well.

Can't wait to see more of ur work :smiley:

Welcome to the forums!, you already have a very good head start on Art so I'm curious to see where you'll end up, good luck!.

That sounds pretty intense. I'm interested to see it once you start publishing it, so if you can please let me know where to see it.
And yea, I'm obviously influenced by Dragon Ball, though I'm taking a bit from everything I see.
I really wanted to "get it right", but quickly realized the more I plan out, the more it got postponed, so I figured I would just "go for it" and learn everything in the process.
Looking back, it's almost embarrasing to read the first chapters due to how much I've learned already.
I get the impulse to go and redo them again, since they are the first impression people get, but in the end, I think it also shows the progress made as an author and artist, and I know that even if I redid them, by the time I'm done, I would have improved more and would just want to redo them again in a perfeccionist cycle.

So... might as well leave it up as is and just keep improving.

Thanks, I'm honestly impressed by many other artists here. It's intimidating. But in the end, all we can is just improve ourselves to be better than we were before, and see how far we can take our own skill.

Finally finished some of the initial excercices. I'm actually trying to use CSP instead of Photoshop since that's the main tool I plan to use in the long term, so I had to translate some exercises and find the equivalent brushes and tools. It's all very similar, so there were only a few things that didn't apply.

1 - Pen Control.
Notes: Straightforward, nice to loosen up. I did use the rotate to accomodate myself better, which I think is fine, since that's what I do on a daily basis. I tried to find similar brushes to do the pressure exercice, and for the most part I think it worked out, except for the last one, were I didn't find the options to emulate fade sensitivity without size sensitivity.

2 - Image Adjustments
The initial hue adjustments were simple enough, but color, curves and the final image proved to be more of a challenge. I tried my best to get as close as possible, and in the process got familiar with the adjustment tools, which I think was the whole point of the excercise. I didn't match it exactly, but after fiddling for many minutes, I was satisfied enough and really wanted to move on. I've always had a particual challenge with the finer tones of color, so it makes sense this felt harder.

3 - Image combination

I'm happy with the resulting image, even though I think I could have tweaked the resolutions to make the different pieces match better. Otherwise I think the colors and lighting match fairly well.

Wish I could continue, but I'll have to stop for now. I'll resume lessons tomorrow.

haha thanks so much for your interest!! I'm still plotbuilding and worldbuilding and have a lot of work to do on it before i can publish so i'd say i'll probs be able to publish in like 10 years? because i do work full time... so the time i have to work on this is very limited. but i will post my art on ig and on youtube - albeit i may post less art but better quality ones.

i post my music and animations on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2_j3oXTtc4KbePI4jvSdyA

and my art on ig: https://www.instagram.com/mitsuki_youko/

^ that is also where i will announce when i publish my comic and the full 6 trailers will be on youtube. now remember im talkin like 10 years from now so dont get toooo excited even tho im super excited at the thought of it XD

I also coded this website. still wip but eventually ill draw all the pics. so if u see a placeholder thats cus im not done yet XD

https://mitsukiyouko555.github.io/hackwebcomic/

^ rly proud of this one cus its the first website ive ever coded and it turned out exactly as i wanted it to :smiley:

there is a webtoon artist named Cloverloy. she had the same issue but she just made a separate "redraw" comic and put the redrawn ones there :smile: you could try that if u rly wanna redraw them

das all i have thanks for ur interest! it makes me really happy ^u^ hope to see more of ur art as well!
