  • 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

English (Translated with Google) :

Reflection on the subject:
In two words, the subject "Light against Darkness" makes me think of
religious illustrations, which often contrast "Good" against "Evil". These two forms are often connoted in symbolisms and interpretations.

In the same logic that represented God and his soldiers in traditional Christian art, one might ask what would be their representations if the same artists did their work again today. Would we still be with spears and swords to defend the mortal? Is God a timeless being, to the point of not changing his appearance, and modernizing his assets or attributes? If it's the same for his army, how would it be today? What would be his primary mission? If we mortals were to see a divine soldier, would we be happy, or worried?

If we add to this polytheism, linked to our contemporary vision, it creates another layer of interpretations. Who is the legitimate God, if any? Or, are there many or an infinity? How to represent it? If it is indeed possible to represent it under which attributes, according to which religions and which values?

Français :

Réflexion sur le sujet :
En deux mots, le sujet "Lumière contre Ténèbre" me fait penser aux illustrations religieuses, qui opposent souvent "le Bien" contre "le Mal". Ces deux formes étant souvent connotés en symbolismes et en interprétations.

Dans la même logique où l'on représentait Dieu et ses soldats dans l'art traditionnel chrétien, on pourrait se demander quels seraient leurs représentations si les mêmes artistes refaisaient leurs œuvres aujourd'hui. Serions-nous toujours avec des lances et des épées pour défendre le mortel ? Dieu est-il un être intemporel, au point de ne pas changer son apparence, et moderniser ses atouts ou ses attributs ? S'il en va de même pour son armée, comment serait-elle aujourd'hui ? Quelle serait sa mission première ? Si nous, mortels, nous devions voir un soldat divin, serions nous heureux, ou inquiet ?

Si l'on ajoute à cela le polythéisme, liée à notre vision contemporaine, cela crée une autre couche d'interprétations. Qui est le Dieu légitime, s'il en est ? Ou bien, il y en a-t-il plusieurs ou une infinité ? Comment le représenter ? S'il est effectivement possible de le représenter sous quels attributs, selon quelles religions et quelles valeurs ?

Continuer l'amélioration de l'épaulette. Corriger la position de l'étoile de David en lui faisant 45° sur le gantelet droit. Gagner en précision sur la lampe. Continuer de définir les bords de l'arme.

Jan '18

Cette design est magnifique! J'adore les gantelets ainsi que les ailes :smile:
Mais je pense que la perspective sur ses épaules est un peu décalée (elles semblent un peu larges). :wink:

EDIT: Ah, excusez-moi, tu as déjà ajouté cela à pistes d'améliorations! Bonne chance!

Jan '18

Thank you for your feedback !

About the shoulders, i didn't decide how wide this could be. In fact, this must be a protection and ostentatious. So maybe it will be some tweaks, but nothing sure. I can probably see if by modify the cloth i could decrease the size of the shoulder.

Again, thanks for your comment, I really appreciate ! :smile:

Jan '18

(I will reply in English now, man my French is rusty)
I do feel her armour should be about protection and it should be ostentatious, but my remark has a more anatomical approach:

With red/yellow I tried to highlight where I believe the shoulderjoints are, and the green dots indicate where I percieve them now, which would be anatomically to wide. I do think you can easily correct this by altering the positions of the upperarms a bit, which means that the armour on her shoulders doesn't have to change. Does this make any sense?

Jan '18

Yes, it does. I will try to fix this. Thank you for your help. :blush:

Petite session du 04 Février :

proto10.png2048x1080 2.52 MB

Fait durant la session :
Correctif de la main appliqué. Gantelet enlevé pour garder de la cohérence (difficile de tirer avec un gantelet) et pour diminuer la connotation moyenâgeuse. Placement des couleurs de base sur l'ensemble de l'illustration.

Prochaine session :
Créer des éclairages de base sur chaque élément du visuel.

A faire ensuite :
OverPainting... en masse.

Sorry, mon Francais est mauvais!

I love the angle and character. I feel like the focal point, her eyes, is a bit off. They aren't quite aligned with each other and on the skull in general. Have you tried redlining the head with an anatomical skull? I think if that was done it might be clearer what I meant. I could have an attempt if you thought it might be useful. Nice work though.
