  • 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

Welcome to my art blog.
I'm Dismyrkva and I'll be posting here some of my artworks.

I've been studying art on my own for a few years now and I'd be very happy to share my work with you.

Thanks for taking a look and if you like what I'm doing, feel free to follow me on Artstation and Instagram :smile:

Hey there, snakker here, local noob
Looking good, lots of atmospheric perspective and a very misty mysterious feel, you definitely capture it well. It has nice framing with the foreground and cave formation, the mountains and values seem to take my eyes between the rider and the castle but I think the angle of the river detracts from the composition as it is slightly off track from the focal point of the rider’s head and makes a tangent with the contour of the horse’s head

Edit; I think also, since the castle is a focal point and you want to look at it, it might be a bit too misty. Now I don’t think it needs a lot more detail but maybe some highlights and sharper more defined edges (highlight vs dark backgrounds and the dark side vs the light skyline, to make it contrast more and make it pop. Maybe even a hint of torchlights if you want to (if it goes with your vision of the castle)

Cheers

Hi and welcome to Cubebrush Dismyrkva! Nice painting that you've posted! I look forward to see more of your work :smile:

Hello Snakker!

Thanks a lot for your comment and critique.
You're absolutely right about that river/composition problem. I actually thought about it and then, I don't know I just forgot to change it(?).
For the castle I wasn't sure how much details or darkness/brightness it should have at this distance. Thanks for your help, I'll make some modifications and see how it goes :smile:

I've been working on improving my art style.
I really like a traditional oil painting style and it's not something I've achieved correctly yet. So I thought I'd just do some exercises to improve this.

I started with the good old still life from references.
I already learned a lot from this exercise and I'm pretty happy with the result. I'd be happy to hear your opinion too.

I think it came out really well! It really looks great. I don't really have much to say. I see some little differences in proportions and angles on certain things, but I don't think it's a problem as its only noticeable because the photo is next to it and none of those differences look wrong.

So really my only possible suggestion to maybe enhance this already nice study, would be to pick a focal point you really want the viewers to look at and make things go progressively darker as they go away from it, a little bit like there was a stronger light on the fical point you chose. It can be subtle, but I think it could be a small touch to enhance the composition even it's different from the original photo.

I hope you wont mind my little paintover, but here's a quick little example I did using the cats as a focal point, as they're the obvious one in my opinion.

As I said it's just a suggestion. It's up to you to decide if you'd like to try it or not. The painting is already real good as is. Either way, keep it up :+1:

Thank you very much @cedricgo for your kind words! :smile:
I like your idea to create a more obvious focal point by changing the lighting. I feel like it also gives more dimension, especially to the plant. Thanks for the advice :smiley_cat:

You're welcome! Another way to create this effect could be to follow the same idea, but with details instead of light, or even combining both. But in this case, I personnally think using lighting is more than enough. And you can also play around with what you'd want to focus. The cats are obvious, but maybe it could,d work with the plants too.

Either way, as far as trying to make this in a oil painting style, I'd say you were successful :+1:

Hello everyone!
I'm happy to share with you my last artwork I've been working on for quite a long time. I often get new ideas while I'm painting, so I repaint over and over.
Anyway, I'm very happy with how that mountain turned out and that troop on the bottom.. that was challenging but I think I handled it quite well.
I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

Gratz on the finish! Can't wait for them to overrun the nearby happy kingdom.
