  • 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'd like to start off this thread with links to my social media accounts so you can follow my art pages there if you're interested.

Tumblr - Basicly everything, from sketches to finished artworks.
Facebook - Newsfeed.
DeviantArt - Finished artworks.

Secondly, I'd like to start with posting some older artworks so you can see some progress over the past years.

To keep this post short I've compiled two images that show improvement dating from early 2013 (left) till mid-2016 (right). I drew the same two characters over and over.

Alivia.

Continuation of the first post.

Mireia.

Before starting with my journey on cubebrush I would love to say that all feedback, critiques and questions are welcome in this thread and highly appreciated.
Time to start posting current projects! :smile:

Wow, you have improved quite a bit!! Keep up the good work!

You've improved so much! Can't wait to see what else you do! c:
I'm gonna watch you on dA!

Whoa just saw how big that image really is XD (never realised)
The following are some art freebies (sketches) I did for some acquaintances back in July of their Guild Wars 2 characters.

oh, guild wars AND overwatch I like you already! :smile:
Lovely works, the improvement in the portraits is amazing!

Thank you for the kind replies already @zanben, @oshred and @Acolet
(haha I've seen you on the old forums Acolet, didn't you play aswell?)


So here's what I am working on currently, do mind that it has a little bit of nudity (I am not sure if this is within guidelines, if not please contact me and I'll take it down)

I've had some trouble with it already because I didn't plan anything (light source, mood etc) at all before starting the painting and it's starting to show. It's like I completely skipped the most important step. So I asked my friend for some feedback on it and these are two of the things she mentioned:

  • There's a lack of shadows which doesn't make it clear where the light source is.
  • The head doesn't tilt with the eyes.

And then I noticed myself that her arm in the front isn't correct and the fins on her arms need work.

I am wondering if you see more things that aren't correct?

So self evaluation here, the more I blend the more I get rid of shadows... facepalm.
Anyway, I am thinking of redoing this whole painting with a different pose aswell. It currently doesn't satisfy me at all, I know I can do better. Had fun though so far.

Oh of course, we talked about it! Blame my bad memory :smile:

Your friend is right with the things she pointed out, I would add that the composition is a bit unusual, as it mostly forms one diagonal line leading out of canvas.
If you are willing to redo the whole painting, I think that's the best idea, sometimes it's easier to start again (and to get more practice done) than to spend the same time repairing.

(PS: artistic nudity is all right, so no worries about that)

Yeah I think restarting here is perfectly legit thing to do. It might also help to try to keep a full range of values throughout your painting process as that can really help you depict forms and let your colors really pop. It might also be worth spending a bit of time rethinking or reevaluating the things protruding from her shoulders and arms because as of right now they are not reading very well. Hope this helps ^__^

Yeah I noticed that too, they're actually really weird right now.
I guess redoing the whole painting is going to help me figure the fins out aswell haha!


Already sketched up a few figures. Trying to see what I like and what I can work with within the characteristics of the character.

Well well well :smile:

You've made quite a progress since I've last seen your works. Nice.
First, my general suggestion would be to pay closer attention to proportions. It's really important when drawing figures. Both overall body proportions and facial proportions.

About the fishy lady. Yes, your friend is right. Basically, the step on the bottom right could be a perfect flat color base for further shading and lighting.
You've mentioned the front arm, but didn't really collaborate on what you find wrong with it. In my oppinion the biggest issue is the lack of muscle and bone structure in it, and it doesn't really connect with the shoulder.
Also, breasts like hers doesn't make such defined cleavage line without any support.

However, the new poses are much more interesting than the previous one, and I can't wait to see the progress.

@koboldart thanks! :smile:

This is some very nice feedback especially because I now see what I did wrong with her breasts in the first attempt of the painting and is certainly something I will keep in mind when refining the sketch for the second try.
