  • 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

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. 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 drawing

I thought I would start off this dumb thread with a goofy fantasy pseudo self portrait! I'll post this on instagram + twitter and whatnot tomorrow B)

No references used! I kinda know what my face looks like... enough 2 know what I like and don't like at least lmao so I changed a few things. I doodled on this for a couple hours? I lost track of time - I was always watching something while working on it lol

Jul '17

This certainly isn't bad! I like it! The composition is cool and iconic and the little dragon lizard is a nice touch to it. I would watch out for the length of your arms though, at least their left forearm. I think it is actually right but something about it felt off to me, it may just be me though!

Jul '17

Thank you so much! Also now that you mention it, you're totally right lmao there IS something off with the length of the arms.... I'm not entirely sure how to fix it at the moment, but hopefully it's somethin' i'll learn along the way!

Trust your intuition! I may have never noticed that if you hadn't brought it up :smile:

Jul '17

Another quick something!! Just trynna get at least one thing done a day! I didn't use any references for this either.... I'm gonna regret this later lmao

Anyways, here's a dragon lady with some tattoos! While drawing this, it occurred to me that i have.... no idea how to draw feet? Anyways! Here's today's doodle

Jul '17

I like it. Your faces look really awesome. The feet are doodly, but don't look strange to me.
The horn is a bit strange... it looks a bit 2d I think (shouldn't there be another one on the other side)
Also the trousers sits a bit high I think (look here)
using reference is always a good idea :wink:

Jul '17

Thank you! And I totally agree - I need to work on adding depth to bodies (I almost exclusively draw portraits/busts :sweat_smile: ) I tried to add a bit of shadow/a horn silhouette on the other side of her head, but I think it got lost in her hair lol

And thank you for the reference!! I was trying to do a high-waist style pair of pants, buuuut i may have over done it :cold_sweat:

Thank you so much for your advice!! I really appreciate it :sunny:

Jul '17

Howdy again!! It's been a few days :sweat_smile:

Here's another sketch! I tried to go further with it, but i've kind of lost interest in it unfortunately. Better than nothing tho! I sort of made up a little context for the shot too! I wanted to make a goofy expression, so i imagined this character to be a young pilot of sorts, practicing with their friend with new flight gear! Out of the frame, their friend just crashed, so they made a goofy face. Karma is about to get 'em tho n they're a few seconds away from eating shit as well lmao :laughing:

Jul '17

Another quick smthin! An elf-orc hybrid maybe :0

Jul '17

A lil itty bitty castle following the Isometric Crystal Tower tutorial by Sephiroth Art! It's definitely not perfect - the colors aren't the same and the angle is off (ntm i also got a lil bored and didn't actually finish it lmao) BUT I plan on doing this again soon! I've been sitting on this tutorial for ages and haven't properly utilized it yet :sweat_smile:

onwards and upwards :sunny:

Wow, really solid pieces here, good work!
I love your selfportrait and character art. With the tower, next time I would suggest being more deliberate with the edges - especially when the asset is going to be much smaller when used (like in a mobile game I assume), clear edges are a way to victory :smile:

Jul '17

@acolet thank you so much! And I totally forgot about edge work in that little castle! That's super helpful feedback, thank you!!

And thanks again for stopping by! :sunny:

Talk about disappointment. This is definitely not a bad sketchbook! The title of this thread is such a false advertisment :wink:

Seriously though, I'm really liking what you've posted so far. I especially love the tattoed horned lady and that latest piece of the fire OC. Keep up the good work!

Jul '17

@cedricgo HA I got ya didn't I :laughing: thank u so much for ur kind words!! I really appreciate it! I also took a look at ur sketch thread lmao -- Its AMAZING omg ur work is so creative and dynamic!! Really beautiful stuff :0

Thank u for stopping by! And thank u again for all ur feedback :sunny:

Jul '17

I decided to take a step back from my more cartoon-y shenanigans and actually took some of all ya'lls feedback into account!! I moved back into grey scale to focus on some of my (many many MANY) facial anatomy issues AND..... I actually used a couple references for this pic.... crazy i kno

Yet another giveaway prize from my itty bitty instagram raffle :sunny:

Jul '17

MORE giveaway shenanigans! This time the person who won requested a super cute anniversary sketch of them n their partner :0 I had a reference for each person so i tried to capture their likeness.... we'll see how well that turned out when they see it lmfaooooo :sunny:
