  • 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

Deadline for the ArtWar coming in fast, gotta wrap this bad girl up!

This may be the last update until the finish line as I really need to focus. Aside from one or two tiny cleanup spots, all of her highpoly work should be 100% done. I'm currently cruising through her retopo phase, but I wanted to try out a few composite renders from ZBrush to try out a similar method I saw another artist use. I need to just bite the bullet one of these days and pick up Keyshot to get some decent clay renders done - it'd be so much faster.

There's a number of other props besides the base and her book here, but they may or may not make the deadline, we'll have to see. I can say that whoever opens this book is probably gonna have a bad time....or maybe a good one, I don't judge. :octopus:

Keep it going man. This is developing amazingly well. Best of luck man.

Man, this is looking amazing!!! You know how to present work in progress haha.

gah, this looks amazing! Her face is so good. nice clean work all around and really fun design. best of luck on your race to the finish!

9 days later

Thanks you guys!

I just saw the slight push-back of the deadline...and I am absolutely ecstatic right now. I ran into some serious technical issues in the re-topo phase - I was looking at (what I thought was) the remaining time and kinda freaking out. I am beyond excited that it looks like I'll still be able to finish!

I'll post an update when I figure out my Marmo scene lighting - should look pretty cool with the candles I hope. :crystal_ball:

Now you will be able to finish for sure! Your Literati Demoness is my favourite character of this year´s Art War! Keep pushing!

Incredible work. Love your style very much!

I'm still alive!

I'm racing through the various technical bits, so I haven't been putting together updates like I normally would, but Ezri here is looking smokin'! Grabbed a quick shot from Marmoset in the early texturing stages that I thought was pretty neat. This is the first pass on (and first time trying to make) candles. Messing with the shader effects is a lot of fun! :fire:

Still a metric ton of work to do still, but she's hummin' along nicely.

Hohooooo!!!! This is looking great man!!! Look at that sss on these candles!!! I really want to see it done!! It's already looking pretty good!!!

Wow man, this is hot!! (:p).. She's gonna look amaaaazing!

WOOO! Just made it in time - that was a wild ride till the very end! Congrats everyone!

I'll post up some detail breakdowns with additional renders tomorrow. Might look into uploading the actual Marmoset Viewer scene too once I strip out some of the fancy stuff that the scene files can't render.

Very fun character and cool presentation. :clap:

This turned out great! Congrats on finishing her.

Great finish, Brian!

Alright, time for one last image drop for all the renders that didn't quite make it into the final mix on time. I won't mess with my submission entry post, but I figured I would take the little bit of extra time to give Ezri the proper treatment she deserves.

Large image batch incoming!

This project was an absolute blast to work on and I am incredibly grateful for everyone's support and feedback along the way. You guys are simply amazing and I am blown away by shear amount of epic artwork that has gone into this challenge. Well done everyone!

I can't wait to see you all on the battlefield once again next year! :smile:

Oh shoot, almost forgot to upload the Marmoset viewer!

Had to smoosh her down a bit to get it into the proper filesize, but she's still looks pretty neat.

Great finish, congrats. I dig the colours!
