  • 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

@cedricgo Thank you! I'm glad you like them. Really do hope you're right! :grin:

@Firathion Thank you very much! I guess i have been getting more comfortable with the way i draw things, particularly faces.

Just another character sketch

"The scion of the most celebrated line of heroes in Varos, Urion Artes has a lot to live up to.
Inheriting the Dukedom of Yusten at the age of seventeen would be a daunting task even if he did have enough oxygen in his blood.

As it stands, there is very little optimism among the eastern nobility when it comes to their new liege."

And some creatures!

Lafi, a common species of woodland critter. Quick little buggers.

Lafi-Arú. Same species, possessed by spirits. The lesser spirits that choose the lafi as hosts are beings of watchfulness and paranoia. The creature never sleeps again, and has the power to cast (and see through) illusions. Though not the most physically imposing monster, they are immensely feared by woodsmen and hunters; those who approach them lose their sense of direction, and the paths of the forest seem to shift around them. Without ever laying eyes on the beast, the victim will realize too late they have crossed paths with the Lafi-Arú; and are hopelessly lost.

I see you're still going strong. Did I ever say how much I loved your sketches. I'm sure I did but it's worth repeating! I also really like the Lafi-Arù. It looks very interesting and menacing.

Thank you! I hope this sketchbook can be entertaining to people, despite the mess :grin:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll just keep making sketches of my characters, hoping i get a feel for their design sometime before i die!

Dude your getting better and better each time I check this blog. Always love those facial expressions. They really sell the character personalities very well. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much!

Here's a few things!

Fighting goblins is tricky. When they seem to be retreating, they are actually advancing.

A classical sculpture painting study. "Mondragone" by Antinous

Fanart of "2B", from NieR: Automata

A bit of background, for anyone who wants to read!
The characters in the last picture are the Brenneric siblings.
Supposedly descended from the legendary hunter Brennus, nowadays the Brenneric clan is a big name in the firearms business.

From top-left to bottom-right:
Isidore (35) : The black sheep of the brood, Isidore never wanted anything to do with the family trade; he likes using guns, not selling them! He's been a soldier and a hunter, and built quite a reputation. "Captain Brenneric" stands for awesome marksmanship, ruthless tactics and terrible people skills.
Camilla (32) : A dedicated and busy alchemist, Camilla puts her work, and her passion for science and research, ahead of most other things. As much as she would love for people to pay attention to her ground-breaking studies on crop fertilizers, she's best known for her equally stellar (if partially accidental) development of explosives.
Baldwin (30) : The successor to the clan's business, and a rising voice of leadership in the Gunsmiths Guild. A kind and charitable man, Baldwin is well loved by all who don't already have a reason to dislike the Brennerics.
Dimas (27) : One of the youngest people in the nation to achieve the rank of Scholar, and pass the High Council's examination, Dimas now serves the nobility directly as an appointed judge. This is seen by a few as something of a "betrayal" of his bourgeois origins, but Dimas cares for nothing other than the pursuit of wisdom and justice!
Núria (17) : Núria seems to have inherited all of the talent, all of the intelligence and none of the crazy her clan is known for. If only they knew.
Nuno (17) : At least he tries.

As usual, I love all of those sketches! Just out of curiosity, are there any artists in particular that you feel influenced the way you draw?

Hmm, that got me thinking. I have of course picked up influences from all the art i like, but since you asked "in particular" i think the answer is no, since no name really sticks out to me... In the past i haven't studied the works of other artists very closely, only started doing it more recently.
I've read a lot of manga, for sure! I really like Berserk, Vinland Saga and JoJo, among others.
