  • 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

Small update! Been drawing mostly in my sketchbook lately because I dont't have too much time atm. I really enjoy doing those rough sketches especially with ink. I'm still experimenting but I hope you like them. :wink:


Studies from photo reference.


Invasion sketches.


NPC from a pnp-adventure I created and played with my friends.

Again some sketches. Decided to color some of them. The workflow was really fun. I'm curious what you think especially about the coloured versions.

Decided to work on this one a little more. Never did something in this style before, but I quite like the outcome. Not sure if at some places I could have rendered it out a little more or not :confused: maybe I'll get back at it and add some things..

I really like the sketches! And they look great in colors too. I also like how you turned one of them in to a more complete painting. That's a cool idea.

Thanks Cedric! It was a quite fun workflow, working from the photos taken of my sketchbook. I tried to keep the paper texture and traditional look and am currently also experimenting further with this kind of style..

This is the latest "experiment":

If anyone is interested in the progress, I made a timelapse video (planning on doing more youtube stuff in the future..):

Again some face practice. Made with my IPad and Procreate while traveling :smile:

Amazing shading and rendering, @Pistonhit ... Procreate is great, isn't it? keep posting!!

12 days later

Thank you @hello37. Yeah, I quite like Procreate. Its nice having it on the go, but when available I usually prefer working in photoshop and a cintiq tablet.

Not sure about this one. I think its hard to read and the pose probably a bit weird. Decided to finish it tho. Maybe I'll make small adjustments later..

This is an old sketch I'm going to get back at when I find the time.

I see what's going on... the render and coloring are great! Her outfit and pose make her hard to read. I suggest you to lower her right feet, so you can easily read her silhouette.

Her left leg is farther, and you can take advantage of that. You may add a little atmosphere. That would make that leg to be lighter.

Amazing artwork, congrats!

Thanks @hello37 I'm definitely going to try that out before I start a new one.

Another portrait painting. I don't always know when to stop working on an image. This one I spent about 7 hours on, aiming for a painterly look. Also I think cropping the right side of the image a bit could be benefitial, but I'm not sure about that. Probably gonna get back at it with fresh eyes...

I started actively practicing portraits exactly 1 year ago. Compared to the results back then, I'm really happy with how it turned out and it really motivates me to keep going :smile:

If there's interest in the process:

hey man, I really like your designs! Great improvement on portraits too :smile:

Hey, thanks to all of you, I really appreciate your Feedback!

Been quite buisy the past few weeks, and apart from other stuff was only able to paint a bit on my iPad. When looking at it now I think I could have defined the nose a little better. I find it a bit hard to do detailed stuff in procreate. So maybe I'm doing some changes later.

I edited the pic a bit in photoshop at the end. Not sure if I made it better:

Left Side: Edited | Right Side: Original

Again made a Process Video:
