- 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?in24.4k
- 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 youin1.5k

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 drawingin

Really had no time today, i finished the Vis Com 2 video and loved the way i was able to gain new views on a lot of not only art but the world of everyday, visualizing everyday object and kind of sketching them in my mind and adding to my mental art book. Sorry for the scratchy sketches today, after the video i had very little time to draw, however i should have plenty time to draw tomorrow!
Weekly post time! Now i did the 3 point perspective and some other practices, including all the 4 point and 5 point perspectives, however these were my favorite! Unfortunately you may notice i blocked in some color and started with generic shading and distortion of my 3 point drawing, however my pen for my tablet is not working at the moment so i am trying to find a replacement. Should have one by mid next week so maybe i can finish it up.
Meant to post this yesterday but got caught up drawing, imagine that. Anyways, did some head shape practice and a face or two but i still dont feel my overall head shapes are great yet. If anyone has tips i am all ears! Also decided to go for a big piece to just poor some effort of all that i have learned in the 2 terms so far. Not done, just started it and just for some fun.
Great job on keeping with the studies. I really like that anime face 😃
As for head construction, what I notice is that the side plane size is not consistently 2/3rds of the sphere and is not “cutting the sphere” (for example when seeing the sphere head on, it would look like the sides are cut)
In some, the proportions are off on the brow line/nose line/chin line. Remember to center the brow line in the side plane to help you out and if the side plane is close to 2/3rd, the bottom of it, while keeping the angles right, will correspond to typical nose base line, once you have that vertical distance between brows and nose you can get the other two correctly
Another thing to consider is the contour of the malar rythm which Marc simplifies as going from the center of the side plane to the lateral edge of the chin. Finally, the chin is not really very pointy, usually its width will correspond to the width of the mouth (an artistic simplification) but will be very pointy in stylized art like anime
I hope some of my observations make sense for you and help you along the way
Cheers and keep it up!
eyyyyyyyyy noice!! this animation looks great!!
her eyes are so pretty!
is this character for a story?
i wanna learn more about her, she looks like an elf.
I would also recommend moving the top part of the strands of hair closer to her face for a even nicer follow through as only the bottom part of the hair is moving (tho not sure if its just cus its not done yet) but i love this!
Thanks! She is one of a few of my OCs that im working on to make an IG with. And yes she is apart of a story, ive been writing a light novel for the past year. Shes not an elf but her design of her earpiece is to make it look like that. Also im not done so i will see about what changes i should make for flow, thanks
Thank you @snakker and @mitsuki-youko it took me about 2 hours to do that. Also ive been super busy with life so not much drawing has been done, however i will have more open time starting this weekend so i can finish some things up and start new animations! Just a few sketches here to show i still have been working on art here and there. Obviously not all i have done, however just the ones i did tonight.
Sadly, my animation is not yet ready to be shown, i couldnt get far enough with my time allotted this weekend. However i did start to incorporate perspective and characters so it was definitely interesting to figure out all the proportions. I will be going on vacation next week but i will return in full force with animations and drawings when i get back.
