  • 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

Hi guys, first topic here.

Just a quick praise to Marc, thanks for the amazing job. The forum is solid AF.

So mates, i remake my first character that i did last year (i started digital art last year) so one year after i take the concept and remake it. The new one take me half of the time and i was kinda surprised that the old one look like shit side by side.

So the new one is not finished, I'm in the detail stage, rendering and finishing. I hope you guys have some tips, especially about finalization. I do not know if the colors and the values are good.

Original:

New:

Thanks!!

I actually enjoy the original a lot more.
Reasons being:
1) Vibrant color scheme and keeps my eye entertained.
2) A more bold, personality-based stance/pose.
3) The composition with the color and tones play well with the original.
I'd say you should go for a closer look/feel to the original, but with the same time of the new.

The new color scheme and feeling is mean to be cold and more serious. I tried to put a real viking vibe to it, and the less saturation tone is proposital.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Those look interesting. I certainly like the new approach you're taking.

Dude thank you so much for this paint over. It means a lot.

And just a quick note: It was supposed to be a frontal light, and maybe some fill or rim light from top right but i think this is not needed for this character concept, i think it can be distracting. So basically it's a diffuse frontal light and a desaturated ambient light, if that makes sense.

I'll keep the topic updated.

11 days later

So, a few things that stood out was the position of his shield, his anatomy and the coloring. Some of this has been pointed before, such as his face and eyes. I let that be, as I assume that is what you were going for anyway. The things that I changed were mostly color and anatomy, I also warped the shield to make sense.

I pushed his left shoulder back, defined some muscles, such as the serratus, trapezius and latisssimus muscles. Male nipples are often further to the side than the middle. I also warped the pectoralis major a bit, as they aren't usually that boxy. I gave it definition as well, so it wouldn't look too flat and stale. I exposed the clavicle, and defined some muscles on his arm.

Lastly and most importantly, I changed his skin. I get that you were going for a pale viking guy, but the skin color you created simply doesn't exist. The palest of people, have saturated fleshy tones. They stand out more, due to the majority of their skin being pale. Now, I exaggerated his skin to help you understand how skin coloring works. Pale people have more of a pinkish tone rather than orange. Anyhow, I hope this was helpful!

People did amazing paintovers already; I just want to add one thing: I would change the wooden shield. It looks like you have just photobashed in the wood. Try to be consistent with painting style by painting it in. It also misses perspective now.
Besides that, great progress, keep it up :smile:

Thanks a bunch mate.

Your points are very helpful. And the feedback of all of you guys it has been very helpful.

For now i'm calling it done, just for time restrains I don't want to spend more time on this piece, I find more productive to incorporate the things I learn here in my next piece. And avoid the mistakes I made.

Thanks again guys, I learned a lot here. :smile:

This is the final version:

This is the original sketch:

Aw I'm a little disappointed you didn't take those last crits, I think that'd help a lot (especially @achronic's paintover had good anatomy points). And I really miss that perspective in the shield.

Anyhow, you are fully free to do whatever you want ;D Good luck on your journey!

@enalya Yeah I know it sucks :pensive:

But I have been changing this piece for maybe 20 days now, I can't go back to it haha. (Not now at least)

But next concept I'll do the right thing and ask for critique early in the sketch phase, so you guys can easily pick something i have missed.

Thanks again, I'm working on some new characters and soon I would love to hear your thoughts.

Take care!
