  • 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

Yeah, I get it... Zbrush is hella daunting. I guess, if you ever have a change of heart or finish all the terms, you can always go back to it :smile:

Not a homework per se, but after Term 4, I felt the urge to redesign this book cover. Still not 100% happy with it, but I do like it a lot better than the previous one...

OOH I LOVE this redesign!

I reallly like your use of color in the redesign and the monochrome parts give it an ominous vibe!

its so much more impactful than the before! amazing job!

Thank you so much MitsukI! :grin: I'm very glad you like it, I've worked embarassingly hard on it :laughing:

ZBrush hand because I love the software! :heart_eyes:
...annnnd because I'm dreading the shadows assignment.
Nevertheless, here goes nothin'!

ooh this looks great! love how you captured the veins and everything!

I like your cover redesign! It feels more complete, and that wood texture is sick.
Oh jeeze, I just read earlier today that rendering and rigging hands his one of the hardest things to do in 3D. That hand looks great! Are you rigging it as well?

Thanks so much, Grant! :blush: I'm trying to up my 3D-game fast, which is why I jumped straight into modelling hands :sweat_smile: next up is a gothic cathedral and let me tell you, I'd rather model ten more hands! I'm quite tempted to look into rigging, not going to lie. I think it's a great skill to have! At this point in my life, if I can get ANY creative/artsy job, I'll be happy...

Annnnd, here's the first fruit of my creature assignment. I know I should have practiced drawing animals from imagination first but please accept the excuse I insert here, you know...? :sweat_smile:
I might have played it a tad too safe with the kangaroo/bunny hibrid BUT I do promise to go all out with the alien creature. Muhahaha, nightmares shall ensue! I hope.
Hope you guys have a great weekend! Happy drawing! :heart:

Oooh this looks great :smiley:

HAHA at first, since the pouch wasn't sticking out too much, I thought the baby was its second head and was like omg thats scary XDDDD LMAO can't wait to see what else u come up with :smiley:

Thanks Mitsuki! You're right; today I see the creature with fresh eyes and I definitely need to make the pouch bigger. Also, the back looks broken, so I ought to elongate that as well. Thanks again and have a good one xD

Nice big cat! I was trying to doodle some the other day and I can already tell its going to take me a lot of practice to get the forms right. Those kitties aren't easy haha.

Something that's been helping me immensely is trying to build forms out of basic shapes. Your chimera looks great. I think some of the forms get a bit lost though. I hope you don't mind but I did a little paint over to show you what I'm talking about. :grinning:


Making a separate layer for volume lines keeps me from taking guesses when I get to the shading stage (which I am prone to do)
Anynoodle, hope this helps and great work!

Oh dang, this looks SO GOOD. :smile: Thank you! Mitsuki is right, it IS cute now. My bunaroo was so thin, it looked emaciated.
I must admit, the mathematical part of illustrating (correctness of shapes, sizes, volumes) drives me insane and I tend to skip that quite a bit (as you so gingerly pointed out). I tried winging it with the shading, but you're right. Skipping the fundamentals is dumb and pointless. Thanks again! :raised_hands:

Oh yeah. Working on just the fundamentals can be SO DRY. Taking little bites in between other illustrations is much more manageable than trying to lean everything all at once. I've burned out more than once trying to do that haha.
Looking forward to your alien creature!
