  • 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 don't plan on documenting my entire journey unless it's about asking a question, like today. I'm currently in the second term and I'm working on the head shape. I've drawn about 40 so far and they always turn out looking off to me and I don't know why, especially when they are looking down. If you have a suggestion that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

There are 73 replies with an estimated read time of 8 minutes.

hey just saw your post I'm working on a response and I'll post it tomorrow night.

@silverquintanar23 here ya go, as promised. Hope it helps you see your drawings in a new light. Sorry for any spelling errors, just typed it right into photoshop.

Thank you so much! I just saw your response so I haven't implemented your suggestions yet but I'll start to work on them now. Thanks again!

Glad to hear it. I have found some corrections that need to be made in my example drawings since I did them so hastily and I'll upload the updated jpeg in the same post above. Post any questions you have in your subject thread in the future, it helps lots of people.

Hii,
i saw this post by accident and i have to say this is really helpful!
I also struggle with the construction of the head so this will be helpful :smile:

Update from my last post!
Honestly, just learning the head has been very challenging for me and I don't even want to be reminded that it's only term 2. Regardless, I think I'm starting to understand the placement of the facial features a little better, however I have run into the "same face syndrome" which I call it. Please critique my heads because I don't want to move on to term 3 until I feel decently confident in anatomy of the head.

Open image in separate new tab to get full image I guess.

Here's an update. The first set are me trying to make the heads from imagination. I think a couple came out pretty decent, but I still notice a few issues especially with placing the eyes.

The second set of heads I used a reference to help as a guide. I tried not to just trace the image so the angles aren't exact and I'd get more out of it. Although I know I still need to work more, I think I'm starting to see some progress. I'm happy with these compared to the last post.

Here's some more I've made. I'm trying to get more consistent because I notice there are some good parts in one face but then it looks weird when I change the angle.

Good job on putting in the work, you are improving. I would say you need to copy the asaro head here for a while and stop worrying about those features. Keep in mind this isn't THE Asaro head

But this is THE Asaro head. But honestly the nose is a little over done, the one above is better. You dont need all those planes all the time.

When you are ready for the features, and get bored of the asaro head, look for some tutorials to point you away from wherever you learned that eye. I'll post my favorite down below. It's not doing you any favors and its not making you think about the eye socket or zygomatic arch or anything like that in your construction. It kind of makes it look like an eye sticker on flat plane.

After the asaro head drawings draw this skull, but draw it like you did the asaro head. It doesn't have to be a photo realistic copy, just break it down into simple shapes and plains. Think low polygon.

Trust me when I say that this is the hardest part of the human anatomy to learn because it has so much to do with how we identify faces individually, how we communicate and express, there's a lot going on. Everything else after this is in comparison is pretty easy.
