  • 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

Side: Dark
Character Name: Akantha
Idea: She is a summoner of demonic creatures. At first glance she looks human with decorative dark armor but as you look closer, it is actually part of her. She can summon multiple forms of grotesque creatures.
Story: A god of the underworld awoken in her deep slumber. She longs to find and kill the gods who cursed her.


Final Illustration:

Concept Sheet:

Welcome back @deivcalviz !
Can't wait to see your art again :smile:

Best of luck and inspirations !

13 days later

Sorry for disappearing! Lets just say I procrastinated too much playing games lately.. Here are my studies. I went straight to the front view instead of doing thumbnails. I felt like these are more usable than those tiny random thumbnails.

I chose the last one here but with less skin.

Very busy with gaming.. lol.. here's my chosen champion of darkness. Will render this now. Thanks for looking! :smile:

Something cool I missed again! Really great work dude :smile:

Very cool character - I like the colour palette you chose and can't wait to see her in action ^-^

Nice! I really love your design :smile: I do feel that she could use a complemantary colour besides the green in the design, I think it would probably make the details pop out more. Can not wait to see how you will progress :wink:

Thank you very much! :smile: I feel like I'm also missing out on the other entries. I will check around for your works! :smile:

I can't wait for the illustration too! I want to make her feel as epic as those MTG planeswalker artworks.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually want her colors to be simple and minimalist, maybe like Malificent or Hela so I will stick with this simple color scheme. :wink:

Here is the finished front view! I'm doing the back view now. I like this so far but feel free to crit.

I have been playing starcraft 1 and 2 lately and I feel like I was influenced by Kerrigan a bit. Other than that, I also saw some epic korean artworks from sangsu-jeong so I'm definitely influenced by them. I think it's perfectly fine to take inspiration from existing stuff and make it your own. :wink:

Bad ass work dude! And it's true there's a bit of Kerrigan vibes in her but like you said it's fine to have influences :smile:

Great work! Really distinctive silhouette and shapes overall, and simple, effective color palette. I really like how you've tightened up the details in this last post. The striping/piping on her shoulders and upper arms is my favorite detail here.
Are her "fins" - on the top of her head and end of her tail - solid or would they be semi transparent. I'm just wondering if it would look cool to see some of the tentacle behind her head showing through those fins above her head. Just a thought...
Anyhow, great work, looking forward to seeing what you do with her for the full illustration. Good luck and have fun! :+1:

Great idea about the semi transparent fins. I can edit it to be like that. I'm really glad you like it so far! :smile:

Anyway, here is an update on the back view. I'm just gonna leave it at this style to save time.

Awesome! Can't wait for the illustration ! :smile:

In my opinion B has the most interesting pose, but all 3 version seem a little bit unbalanced - maybe you should switch the claw or whatever is in the foreground to the right bottom corner to get a counterweight for the character and also not to hide her that much. Otherwise I would use C - with her hand and the fireeffect in the centre there is a good focus but here I think as well that the claw in the foreground takes to much space. Oh and I like the background of A most :smiley:

Either way I like the color and the light scheme of your illustration and can't wait to see your progress ^-^
