thank you moe^^
first time after so long I sketched something without thinking. and tried something new. i feel better<3
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?in24.3k
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 youin1.4k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.4k
a sketch that went a bit further. i think miss peregrine was the inspiration
also real size
This is a wip for a cover im working on.
Its the first time I create something scifi-ish and I'd love some feedback.
basic idea is she's holding a stungun that lits up her face. There's also gona be a spaceship up in the back. The space up is for the title
First off let me say this is look pretty cool so far. Really love her face and the lighting you have going on. With the stun gun so close, There will be more light on her face.
Guessing she's wearing a leather jacket?
If I could recommend something, it would be to give the piece a bit of a blur while having a more defined face that isn't blurred. Try to give it more of that cinematic look/appeal. Add more of the stun gun blue light to her face. Out side of cleaning up the jacket, I believe you can also add more of the blue light going directly on the jacket with a nice contrast to the black you have.
Did a quick PO to show what I mean. I believe your already going in the right direction. 
Maybe my blue is a bit overkill but you can adjust it to your liking if you choose to add a blur. Lastly it would be to find a texture for the planet in the back. Other than that solid stuff. Keep up the good work.
Looks awesome! For better display, upload those directly on the forums rather than pasting links!
After giving this a second look I think the blur might take away from it as well.
Thank you malcom!! Your paintover looks cool!! It has given me more perspective and a few ideas! Im gonna enhance the stun gun's light and the overall contrast. I am not familiar with blur I dont know how to use it properly. I might play with it though a bit on the hands on th elower part.
@marc Thank you Marc!! I will definitely upload them from now on.
@andrewnimble Thank you ^._^ im glad you like her look. I am affraid the image will not have any impact if the look is not strong enough.
I will post more wips!
Thank you everyone.
holli<3
Love the look of her and I like seeing the brush strokes as well. Nice sketch so far. Keep it up.
Thank you Malcom:D
I finished the sci-fi cover in a rush so I didnt have time to post wips. i thougth I should at least post the output. I had really specific instructions on the spacecraft but still I know it looks horrible T_T. Anyway the title covers most of it.
Regardless good job on this. You really bring the focus to the face in the final. Everything around it doesn't matter as much. The ship is decent but gets the job done. lovely colors and I like the way you did the hair. Hair is something I need to work on.
Anyway keep up the good work as usual. 
Jeah, a placement of the spaceship is a little bit strange, but overall the look and feel of the illustration is really intimate. I feel that there is a story behind that girl, and her eyes...
And super highlights! : )

Here is a wip from another cover. i thought I should follow some progress on this one. Its short of a futuristic knight so it falls more on the sci-fi side. Critique is welcome!!
Oooh. Really loving the strong focal point! I'd just say to keep building elements that help support/guide the eye! Love it <3
This looks like it'll be something really badass when finished. I mean it looks cool already. Great start. If I can recommend somethings, they would be to add the cross shape that's on her shoulder pad(pauldrons) in another area like the chest(or at least test it) She already has some kind of really cool chain sword which I like a lot.. Maybe try playing with a scifi version of the gauntlets that have pipes and wires coming out of them which connect to the weapon to power it on. Little highlighs with glow always help with scifi stuff. Last thing I recommend is playing with materials. Things like honeycomb, latex and matte materials. For the arm for instance, it can be a matte material maybe. Anyway these are just some ideas. Color wise this is looking great. Love her face and hair. Like @ESL said, just add elements that help the focal point. I think the silhouette is good and you have some nice shapes. Keep up the good work. Look forward to further updates.
Your art is beautiful... I especially love your sketches! They're so loose and full of life!
Oo! Thank you guys!!
@malcom I definitely need to play with the materials on this one..it has to feel shap and edgy..
here is progress
Sharp and edgy say no more. 
So I would recommend playing with the facial expression unless in your brief you can't. When I think of an edgy character I think of an more serious/angry expression or even a cocky like expression. Anyway so far so good. 
I like the exosuit that she has under her armor. At least for her arm.

She's finished finally.. I ve never done a full body armor and it was hard getting the anatomy right but I am always happy doing something new
