  • 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

Welcome to the forums!! My one piece of advice I would give to some one starting from scratch would have to be draw as often as you can and don't become discouraged!! There is a lot to learn but just take it one day at a time, if you stick with it you will get where you want to go. Also try to keep all of your drawings/sketches/studies because down the road when you look back at this stuff you will be able to more easily see the progress you are making!! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!! ^__^

Thank you sooooooooo much! I plan on trying my best to upload daily! I hope to keep in touch!

Im excited to watch your journey! The best of luck!

Thank you! Its nice to meet you
How are you doing?
What kind of art do you make?

Hey there! I'm also working to be a Character Asset artist. looks like you got some pretty good flow going, and you are focusing on anatomy which is good! I would work a bit more on the perspective, it's off in a couple of the drawings. The legs are a bit short/inconstant in some of the poses. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged! You can do it! Can't wait to see more!

I appreciate it!!
Yeah i really do need to freshen up on my perspective. Its been a few months since i last made any art. So im EXTREMELY rusty. So im basically starting from scratch. I used to focus on environments but now that im back in, im going to try and work on characters more.

Hopefully you stick around! I actually plan to upload some more figure drawings in a few minutes!

More Figure Drawing!

Im focusing on the male figure right now so that i can understand the proportions without overloading my brain too much.
--
Ive seen a LOT of male genitals today.. Good lord.
What do you think of these so far?

A lot better! Remember that the closer the subject gets to the camera the bigger it will get. The other thing that I'm noticing is on some of them the balance is a bit off. Make sure the center of gravity is the point of contact, the exception to this is if there is movement.
I really like the archery one!

I should be sticking around, I'm going to start uploading some of my own art soon!

Im glad i did better!
And foreshortening has always been the bane of my existence lol XD
What kind of stuff are you going to be uploading?

Traveler Design Sketch Practice

SO! I wanted to take what i learned today and test myself.
No reference was used this time, I just wanted to assess my memory.
I personally dont like it that much.
BUT THATS WHAT PRACTICE IS FOR!
-
Character Details:
-Lost both arms and leg in a previous incident
-Replaced them with machines
-Keeps his hand as a necklace to never forget
-Travels solo
-Elf heritage

Seems good, However when making a concept art it's always nice to draw the same character with different poses, angles, and closeups of parts of the body. Just something to keep in mind.

Te figure drawing are great! The lower row in the second figure drawing is especially nice.

It seems strange to me, that you tested what you learned by painting a clothed, still standing figure, plus with limbs missing. Don't get me wrong, the design is nice, but it seems to beat the purpose of doing figure drawings.
Try doing more dynamic poses, people doing crazy things like the ones you see when you practice! And when you stumble upon a pose that you don't know how to do, take notice of what part you are struggling with and concentrate on it extra hard next time you study.

I hope you keep this up, it's great to see a determined person progressing!

@thesolidmoose This is what I'm working on at the moemnt:
https://forums.cubebrush.co/t/wip-for-21-9-wallpaper-would-love-a-couple-of-fresh-eyes-for-a-critique/803

On your concept I like the idea! To get some more interesting combos you can try making 3-6 of the same character just changing small things, like clothing, colors, hairstyles ect... you can use the alt key and the move tool to drag drag and duplicate a selection or layer duplicate it without creating new layers.

Also, references are awesome, don't feel bad for using them. Don't copy them, but pay attention to some of the elements in them. For example these are some of the references I'm using for my current project. I can see that you are thinking about why the character has certain features, and that is awesome! Keep it up!

Edit: I forgot to mention the program I'm using for references. It's called PureRef.
:

Thank you! Yeah youre totally right, i dunno why i chose that design XD
Ill probably work on another one tomorrow!
My goal is to upload a new progress shot daily!
So hopefully you stick around. Id love to see your stuff too!

Oh! So youre an environment guy! I used to do a TON of environment paintings!
I just recently decided to test my hand at character work after my hiatus.
I gotta try that reference program! Do they have references for people?

I need to learn environments better, that's why I'm doing them. Characters are my favorite!

The reference program is really cool. To use it you drag straight from the web or from your computer, you don't have to download at all. So it's really easy to just brows google images for a while, find things you like and break them apart mix match and just draw from the inspiration!
