  • 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 everyone !

First post here and really excited about this place !
So anyway I was working on a new piece recently but felt a bit stuck, I'd love to hear your opinions and advices :smile:

I don't have that much experienced in finishing my digital painting because I often get stuck and leave it at some point, I'd like to overcome that.

What's to improve on this one ? Which way should I go ?

Thank you !

Yano

Hey!
It's really looking good so far! I especially love the look of the environment.
I would like to point out though that my eye seems to be drawn to the sky in the back instead of the fire, I assume this is not intentional? If not, try toning down the light area there?

Hey superlizzziie
Thanks a lot ! You're definitely right and saw what I couldn't saw because of working on it for hours, I will try and tone down the sky and maybe add more bright flames and action to the village ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Nice idea, I think that´ll definitely help getting the attenion to where it's needed :smile:

Hello there! I like the mood of the scene and mostly agree in what Liz just said. But let me add a little more.

I think your image would profit a lot from atmospheric perspective. I'm sure you've experienced yourself that the further things are from you the less saturated and more blue tinted they get. It is because the light has to travel through much more air particles from those far away objects to your eyes. But I don't want to go into the physics of this phenomenon.

What I want to say that your painting lacks depths. I can't feel the distance of the mountains the burning village, etc. With a little atmospheric perspective you can solve this problem. See my quick overpaint below (I hope you don't mind)

One more thing. Pay attention to values! On your original piece the dark tones are all over the place which makes hard for the viewer to find a focus point. Usually the things closest to us are more colorful, and darker in tone, than objects further away. I'd suggest to keep the riders, especially the closer one, the darkest parts of the image (keep them as they are right now) and lighten up everything else.

Bonus comment: The overall color palette is nice, but maybe you could add a little (really just a little) more saturated colors on the characters. Their capes perhaps. To spice it up and enforce the focus even more.

Keep up the good work! :wink:

Hello !

Wow those have been my two major issues in all of my paintings for a loooong time this helps a LOT, I've been struggling with depth without really knowing ways to adjust it, your explanation was on point ! Same for the dark tones that would make my paintings focus points a bit chaotic.

I'm going to try and apply all that new knowledge right now !
Thank you !

I'm glad I could help :smile: Can't wait to see how this will turn out.

I suggest adding more environmental effects such as trees, rocks, people near the river trying to get water to quench the fire, people fleeing from the village, distant battles outside of the village, etc.

I think the original sketch had some good composition elements too it that may have been lost in the process. Mainly with the cool billowing smoke.

But the horizon line crossing the main characters face leads to the left, to the smoke which leads down, to the river, to the ledge, and back to the character which works well in the sketch. A bit of that got lost in the progress maybe. Not much. Its not a big deal to fix.

Stay zoomed out like I think your doing and it will go fast. Look forward too it. I like orange. :tangerine:
