  • 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, I'm Yaz =)
I'm trying to become the best concept artist I could be, and this is the first step for me to getting where I want to be.

Objectives with this course: - Get good at understanding environment values/perspective
- Learn basic 3D
- Anatomy studies (Hands, feet, poses)
- Get better at choosing color palettes/ace that cinematic feel
- Get more confident in my lines

2020 has been an incredibly hard year for me with very little art done, so I want this to be my strong comeback. Would love to get to know all the artists around here and grow together with you guys =)

Yaz

So here are my last 2 assignments. I've done these 2 weeks ago, and sadly didn't have much time to continue onto gesture drawing. I'm doing that now and will try to make a habit of taking these classes every morning. Your feedback is much appreciated! :smile:

Hiya, welcome to Art School :smile:. For the proportion exercise the upper half of the body seems correct but the bottom half still need works (especially the female's one), they are too thin. The feet should be around half the length of the box. You can compare it to Marc's to spot your errors. (Love the faces tho). For the cylinders skeleton exercise, I feel like there should be more in-perspective cylinders. (Especially on first-row-fifth). You are doing great! I'm looking forward to improve with you :smile:

Hey, thanks! Yeah I've noticed I do tend to make the legs thinner, I'll be practicing this more till I get the proportions right, thanks for the helpful feedback! :smile:

First practices of the anatomy and gesture drawings. My anatomy isn't looking exactly as the picture, proportion wise, I think I need more practice (definitely) to train my eyes to spot key things in determining correct proportions.

Gesture drawings seem to be a struggle for me, I believe mostly because I'm not that confident in my lines. Feedback appreciated :smile:

Wow Yaz! Welcome to the group. You clearly have a lot of skills already. Knowing that your line confidence is something that you want to improve is half the battle. The other half is beating up the CTRL Z button! It will feel bad at first because the gestures won't look as good, and you will be slower. But it will pay off in the long run. Keep it up! Your gesture drawings for 30 secs and 1 minute are very impressive.

Thank you so much for your kinds words! :cry: It means a lot, I hope I'm on the right track! I've come up with the term G.A.P to motivate myself (Gesture drawings, Anatomy drawings, Proportions grid) & promised myself that I will do all these 3 exercises everyday for 1 month. I'll post an update regarding that when I finish them, trying to build that confidence step by step :smile:

12 days later

I finally finished perspective class. The room took so much mental energy from me to do, since i don't think I've done something this scale before. I'm very proud of it though. Still practicing gesture and anatomy drawing but not a daily.

Very nice work this turned out really well! We must have a lot of gardeners in the forums! This room is really fantastic and the story is great as well. Keep it up!

Thank you! I'm exploring this post-apocalyptic/sci-fi world where there are toxic plants going around, might do more soon!

Studied some street perspective for 10 min before starting Visual Communications 2 today!

Got to the second assignment of perspective class ( 2 vp). This is an alleyway I imagined that is in the middle of celebrating a holy holiday.

This turned out amazing! Congrats @yazziixx!

If you don't mind the feedback, tho, the line in the foreground is stealing some of the attention of the buildings in the background. You could either blurry the line a bit and move it up a bit more so you the most of the frame is still about the builtins across the street :smile:
