  • 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

Ahoy, my nickname is Wanda :wave: - I'm interested in getting better at digital art and so far I'm passively interested in monster design, 3D character and creature models. I am fond of enviroment design as well, but there I'm quite lost. I'm looking forward to share my journey and check yours too :blush:

Bio:
Soon to be 25 y.o., planning to apply to TAW in Viborg, Denmark (Computer Graphic Arts).

Plan:
My 2022 summer plan is get to know Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign by Learnit (on Youtube), while moving step by step in Marc's ART school. I'm going to try Blender as well, but I want the summer goals to be achievable and surpassable, so for Blender I don't have high expectations.


Illustration of a dream I had years back

29.5.-30.5.2022

Yesterday I took notes from Atomic Habits Summary by Escaping Ordinary on Youtube. Today I went through Term 7 - Enhanced Learning (followed by recommendation in channel Term 0 in Discord) and Term 1 - Visual Communication. I made notes and printed them out, to have them available offline. Both of them + with the use of SMART goals (use google image), helped me create a rough idea, how I should proceed further:

Atomic Habits

Enhanced Learning and Visual Communications

I'm bilingual, that's why there are some funny words. So far I created a complicated schedule (including other than art skills I want to acquire). I think need to dial it down. Perfectionism manifests in my life a lot and this time it shows as FOMO of not writing enough notes and not planning enough. I'll push myself towards 70%, an idea I got from this Aussie artist.

If you think I'm breaking any rules, please tell me and I'll remove the images/links. I checked the forum guidelines beforehand, but I'm still ready to correct any mistake.

Welcome to the forums Wanda! It looks like you have a solid plan, I look forward to seeing your progress!

Thank you, @Lockenheim!

31.5.-2.6.

Today I finished Term 1 - Photoshop for Digital Production. I've just done the first assignement "Pen Control". It was fun and reminded me of Drawabox.com, which is a crazy free resource land, if you want to take further line work and not only that. I'll have to check their website soon!

I redid this HW (yesterday and today). First time the most frustrating part was setting the pen, which I couldn't get for 20 minutes (facepalm). The second time I really tried tracing the circles instead of doing them quickly and smoothly. I'd appreciate any advice on why my last brush stroke is much smoother than the original one?

I also had immense fun with trying the Photoshop fuctions that Marc mentioned. :smile:

3.6.-4.6.

Yesterday I finished the assignement below, but tweaked it a bit today. I'm glad I had this pause between, so I actually had a mental distance and a new eye for it today. I had a lot of fun doing the 4th as I combined the previous tools at my own will. The painting from part 2 was frustrating me, used only Curves, I just couldn't get the right colour/saturation (even with Levels. I'd probably achieved it using Hue/Saturation).

Looking good, which are the strokes you are referring to? For me personally drawing quick lines and curves is what makes them cleaner for me. I don't know what the normal persons speed is but I try to draw very quick lines!

15 days later

18.-19.6.
I went on a trip for a week, but came back excited to do another assignement!

I immensely overcomplicated it. First I chose a glass house - huge mistake - then I redone it with a wooden house. I tried to remember by myself of all the possible functions to use, but then I got stuck and done things more and more complicated instead of using the right tools. I recheck a huge chunk of Term 1 - Photoshop for Dig Prod 1 (on 1.5x speed of course :grin:) and that helped a lot.
