  • 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

Hello, I would like to ask if there is a time-frame for up to when you can edit a post? Because I want to edit my main post for changing links etc. but it seems the edit has been taken away.

And if by any chance if that's how it's, then I feel it really restricts the user for "editing" their blog/journal, especially if you have links etc. to other places such as social links.

Hello @brianhermelijn, I'm cubebrush dev team member.
Yes, we have a 24 hours limit to edit post or 30 edits per day for each user.

Well the problem of that is that it restricts the users from editing their main posts if they need to change it in the foreseeable future, such as adding new links or changing the description by adding more things.

I do not see why there is such a restrictions on users, while all the other art forums I have been on, you still get the ability to edit your main post @sbezhenyan

So is this gonna stay as is? If so, will have to start some sort of discussion about this, because it is not correct, and thus far the only forum I have seen that limits users with such impressive design (which I like a lot)

Brian, I've replied to you in your other topic. We do try to check every post on the forums every day so it will take some hours for us to notice your posts. Especially considering the time zones.

Hey Brian, the limit is actually 60 days to edit - after which you can always ask a mod or create a new post which is the best solution. For topics that remain relevant over time we can always make them into wikis which allows everybody to participate/edit.

What kinds of edits are you unable to do?

We will be reworking the profiles and this is where you'll want to put your personal links if you have any.

The forums are meant to be a constant conversation in the present. The first post has very little importance unlike other forums, since you are automatically transported to the latest post when you visit a topic. If you have some updates to make, you should simply have to make a new post - this is what users will see first.

13 days later

Fair enough. Perhaps I am overthinking the context of the forum for it to be more of a "Tumblr blog" or "Traditional blog" with the abilities to edit at any time possible than not been able to do so.

But I guess if it's more for present conversation it makes sense why there is a removal of edits after certain periods of time.

Well then, will just have to send a message to remove the current links within my first post then.

@marc or @kigerneko
Seeing that the journals are meant more for present conversation, would like to change my main post

"In here I shall take you on my Art Journey. Thanks for jumping in."

Thanks!

I don't think the main post has changed unless it takes some time for it to change

I edited the main post from the topic you shared with your link and copy-pasted the text you wanted there. The two texts look similar.

With main post I am referring to the first post of the thread, possibly I didn't specify my bad.

"Hey everyone. Welcome to this blog. My name is Brian. In here I shall take you on my Art Journey. Thanks for jumping in.

You can find me on
Twitter
Artstation7
Tumblr5
Youtube3
Creativemarket1

Stopped posting on 11/11/2016. Focusing posting on my tumblr/youtube."

Which is the first post, and needs to be turned to

"In here I shall take you on my Art Journey. Thanks for jumping in."

Thanks!

That is exactly what I've changed it into :wink:

@kigerneko

Well that's weird because the change is not showing on the thread at all, even in private browsing (not logged in) its the same old message.

@brianhermelijn I think there was a misunderstanding, let me make this clear: you want us to delete all the text and links in the main post and replace it with the two sentences ("In here I shall take you on my Art Journey. Thanks for jumping in.")?

Yeah I think there was. Yes that's exactly what I want to change it to. Thanks! :smile:

All right, there you go!
