  • 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

HEWOOO THERE!!! I'm Diego (Ursus54 as my online name) I'm 20 years old, and I'm someone that is looking to improve and grow greatly as an upcoming digital artist. Art is something that has touched my soul since I was brought into this world, as I've always been someone to look at life in a artistic way and had the need for creating things from my imagination into a reality. Drawing for me had been a hobby of mine for a couple of years...I really didn't had the time to fully grow upon my skills throughout high school, as I mainly dedicated my time into theatre as an actor for most of my 4 years of school...but I wasn't sure if that was something I would pursue as my career. So I spent a lot of time wondering what I wanted from life and what exactly I would pursue in and many of my friends were saying to that I had quite the talent with digital art, and me doing art for them was truly a gift of joy for my soul, as one of the things that motivates me in life is to bring a smile to those around me...and if my art can do that...then it is honestly a gift in disguise. However, I really didn't know where to go to for my art education as I had no real clue as to where a school could give it to me, and which option was less stressful when it comes to money and making me a well rounded artist as a whole. And THAT'S where out of nowhere I stumble upon Marc Brunet's, Art School For Digital Artists. Just seeing what the program was totally about and for who it was.....I was totally aboard with it from the start, and wholeheartedly I'm ready to begin my true art journey from level 1 all the way to becoming a pro, and most importantly...pursuing my true calling in life. Having this opportunity truly feels like when Bilbo Baggins comes running out of Bag End while saying, "I'm going on an adventure!", (Sorry for my geekiness XD). I'm so excited to improve upon my skills, meeting all the talented individuals that have the same dream as me, and not just becoming a better artist for myself...but for all of the people that believe in me. I'm still going through the first term of the program and have completed a few assignments, but I will be posting my progress as I move through the terms and share my art for all to to see. I would very much appreciate any critiques, suggestions, and information anyone is willing to express with my work and help me grow as a digital artist 😊 Here are some pieces from last year so that y'all can have an understanding at what level I'm at at the beginning .

Wow, Ursus! You're already very talented. Those are beautiful pieces. I'm in term 1 as well, and I'm not very experienced at giving feedback, but I'll try to give some. So here goes!

I noticed in the dragon picture that the top jaw is much shorter than the bottom jaw. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but the mouth wouldn't lock correctly when closed. If you're intending to give the dragon an underbite (which actually would be cool-looking, imho), then it isn't an issue of course, but you might want to include a version with the mouth closed to show people what it looks like. :))

In the raven man's picture, it is difficult to tell if he has a cape that resembles wings and feathers, or if those are his wings and feathers. I'm guessing it's the latter. The feathers do not seem much like feathers, so instead give me a cape vibe. Feathers can be tricky to draw, but doing a quick study of a bird's wing would probably help with that immensely.

The second piece is of Minas Morgul, right? I think it has nice contrasts in the colors.

Keep up the amazing work! Good luck on your art journey! :smile:

Welcome to the trail Bilbo! Fantastic work so far. I can't wait to see your progress!
