  • Day 4: Star Wars May The 4th =] Queen Padmé Amidala in my art style! First time drawing her and I really enjoyed making this one! Used watercolours, ink pen, acrylic markers and gold paint for accents on my Canson mix media sketchbook. I hope you like it!

  • 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

Just a little update! Thought I'd start posting some of my more recent works.

Here's a little portrait I did around September. I was trying a new workflow with a mix of the mixer brush and my usual painting techniques. I've been playing around with the mixer brush throughout this year and I think it's quite handy to add some painterly touches/soft blending in places. Recently I've also been painting more and more on a single layer and this painting was mostly done like that. I did enjoy painting this a lot tho!

I also made a mini process thinger for this:

Been painting a lot traditionally this year, so will post some of that next time.
CIAO FOR NOW!

Well, it's going fine for me too. I don't really have anything interesting going on, but yeah... life's good :grin:

And I remember seeing that piece on DeviantArt. The colors and lighting are just so good! I'm just wondering, what did you do on step nine? Did you simply tweaked the colors with adjustment layers or is there something more?

@stealcase Sorry about such a late reply, I was away for a while sorting out irl stuff haha. But back again! And thank you for that, it's nice to hear. Um yeah you're right indeed I do have the watercolour set. But you can buy those separately too hehe.

@catapanoart Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so! Yeah that was lame, I'm sorry you had to go through a similar situation with inktober once. I'd like to do it properly this year.

@joycew-art HEY JOYCE!!! Thank ya so much my friend, you're too kind but your support means a lot! And lol sorry about the late reply, was away for a while but am back and will do my best to be active :smile:

@ragamuffin Thank you so much!! :smiley: I'm glad ya find them adorable hehe.

@cedricgo Aww good to hear that man! And thank you so much! That painting is one of my favourites from 2016..but yeah about step 9 it's not just adjustment layers, I also used some gradients on normal mode to add lighter colour accents...just messed with the layer opacities in their cases.

Jan '17

Happy New Year everyone!! I kinda decided to remain inactive for a while because irl stuff was too hectic..buuut I just quit my dayjob last week and those things are finally sorted out..so I have more free time to paint more studies and personal stuff, so I'll be more active again.

Here's my crappy first painting of the year:
