  • 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

Helloooo,

so I just watched one of Marc Brunet's Videos about how to pic colors and there is something that confuses me.

I have a problem when using color harmony. I take this drawing in the video as an example. We have yellow, red and blue as our color harmony and sure those colors suit each other. But to stick to the harmonies do I really have to use just yellow tones for that one girl? What if in the original design she wears blue underwears, her skintone is actually more red and she has purple shoes? What if the red girl has blond hair instead of red hair like her skin, it will collide with the yellow tone of the yellow girl.
So my problem is always how can I keep the original different colors but still maintain the color harmony so they won't mess everything up and the whole picture is still harmonic?

I had that problem in my own drawing. I also used the triad color harmony red, blue and yellow.
Therefore to keep the color harmony I was just allowed to use red tones for my girl and blue for the villain and the background was just yellow. But I wanted my OC to have blue hair or different colors on her clothes. I wanted to use more colors for the background. But If I use to many colors the color harmony will collapse.

If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance :DDD

Color has three components: value, hue, and saturation. Of these three, value is the most important one. Jiggle left-and-right from the color harmony of your choice, as long as values are not messed up. Color loves change. So slight saturation and hues variations are good things.

No, no. Use any color you want, but keep overall color logic consistent. F.e. far objects are less saturated, shadows are colder/warmer etc. (maintaining good value structure is the main logic)

If values are organized, it will never collapse. Also, keep in mind that the color harmony of the picture can be different from the character's color harmony from the character sheet.

Wow that was really fast, thank you for answering me! :smiley:
So I can use any color I want but I just have to keep the values and saturation stable, right?

I tried to decide the values for the picture. The foreground (my OC) is dark, the middle ground (villain) is mid value and the background is light.
Then I added the base color and set the layer to Overlay. In the picture, the Overlay layers are 100%. Here I added to every individual their personal color harmony.

Now I don't know how to go on...

  • How can regulate or check the base color overlay layers, so that the values (dark, mid, light) stay the same? The villain is very bright, but I was unsure how much I should lower the opacity, is there a rule or a trick I can follow?

  • How can I add the color harmony of the whole picture red, blue, yellow? Should I use a red color soft light layer on top of my OC?

Thank you in advance for anyone helping me ><

Yep. in general, this is what you should keep in mind in the first place. Although, in reality, it is trickier. Clean color is an emergent property. Color is perceived as clean, or not muddy, if drawing, values, temperature, texture and variety are all correct.

First of all, find some references!

It depends. Different artists have different approaches. Once you have established a good overall color, you can merge the layers (except lineart) for each big object in the image and start rendering.

thank you very much for your advices, it helped me alot. :blush: I try to use more references
