  • 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

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

Hello everyone, My name is Edwin
I've known what I've wanted to do since I was 10, which is create and tell stories. Didn’t matter if it was through writing, animation, comics, it’s what I want to do and I wanna do it all. Unfortunately, life as it does, happens, I had a long bout with depression due to increasingly frequent problems outside my control. Because of this I found myself not doing the things I loved the most as often, due to lack of drive and ambition, stuck in a cycle of dead-end jobs. I sought help though, reached out to old friends and made some new ones along the way.
Now I find myself 26, happily newly married with a newborn but with no true attempt at my life's dream. So better now than never, right?
Academically I have 2 years of college under my belt but been at odds to go back, due to expenses and my prior experience and distaste for organized education. I'm a fast learner though and plan to treat this as serious as I treated University. I got this course to help brush up on my techniques (especially people) as well as discover new ones being that I a still a novice when it comes to digital art. I will not promise I will post my progress to often I will try to keep engaged with all of you.
My Favorite things to draw are Monsters, Animal and Landscapes.

And just because I saw others doing it these are 2 pictures from by college portfolio that I got awards for

Hello Art school community, apologies for the prolonged hiatus. A lot of moving , traveling and replacing pc equipment this from said moving and traveling. So long story short , Life keeps you busy :joy: My last post was back in May and I CAN'T BELIEVE how fast time has flew by.

One of my things that broke was my pen display so this exercise was nice chance for giving my new one a test run. Honestly, the circles gave me alot of trouble might have to practice with this more often to get used to my screen.

This next one is my one point perspective assignment. I used the doorway for dining room to my kitchen because I thought it had a good angle for depth past the horizon line to make the peice more interesting. I made it a fantasy hobbit hole inspired retired adventurer look. I meant to take more picture of the process of drawing just to be seen but I kinda got lost in drawing it.
Outline and planning

These next few images are just a few things I've been working on recently that'd id like to share. I've been absent for the forums but I've been trying to keep a regular flow of projects and sketches on my own time.
This is a piece that I've started but stopped working on about 2 weeks back. I might come back to it but I think I might start it over. I love the color and the textures of the main subjects but there's something about the their positioning and the size of the overall peice im unhappy with. I feel I'm too far in to change those things now and might go back to try at it again.

This is a water color painting of a Dragon slug I started. Water color is a medium I'm not too familiar with using myself but i have always appreciated its aesthetic and how other artist use it to its fullest . It captures subtlety and depth of color so much differently than other mediums I use ,so I decide to try and learn. I it is quite a process :sweat_smile: I feel like a cave man painting with it because I'm so heavy handed and I'm used to added white not just using the color of the canvas. Ive been reading a book about and watching some videos but if anyone has any advice, I'm all ears.

Hello forum community , back again with another post. I'm neck deep into term 2 and have watched everything except the perspective 2 video. I've been taking my time diving and studying different head anatomy , shading techniques as well the usual sketching and gesture.
Unfortunatly I've spent a lot of time away from my desk this last couple of weeks ,so all i have to share is some of my sketchbook. Practically filled a sketch book with random bodies and shapes.
Here are a few random pages tho

I dont plan to be on the move again anytime soon and have a better working schedule than before. I'll have some digital sketches and assignment to share next time I post. I've had a lot more time to myself during the day as well and have made it my personally goal to post at least roughly once a week.
till next time
