@ejones-528 I can really see what you mean xD It's made me want to modify the design to have more striking and fanciful shapes, but it's a little too late now
@berrysquare Good idea I really love what Atey is doing, seems like he's planning to do a bit of animation to go with that project and that was enough to inspire me to try making a short bit of animation
- 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?in23.9k
- 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!in47.0k
@rgdraw https://www.artstation.com/artist/tck I really need to update it though, I haven't uploaded anything since the start of this contest
@Iago_Cavalcante haha it certainly seems that way xD though interestingly I was inspired to do this scene for the illustration because I really wanted to draw a load of fantasy creatures
@berrysquare cheers
Story
My champion exists in a alternate timeline for Earth wherein religion separated theists from atheists. There remained wildly different religions, the beliefs and practices of which drove diverging evolution between them. This created the magic wielding and hugely diverse creatures of the fantasy world. Meanwhile those which followed and evolved with their advancing technologies created what we'd recognise as normal humans who inhabit the sci-fi world.
The fantasy and sci-fi people have existed as natural enemies and the outbreak of a world war between the two is inevitable. As such the G.A.I.A project was formed to create an ultimate weapon to use against the fantasy army.
Scientists realised that there must really be some supernatural power that the fantasy people have seen as their deity and has sourced the energy they use in their magic. Plans to retrieve and harness this power in the form of a giant piloted mech was clearly the coolest approach, but for the sake of the story was also deemed to be the best solution. Just like the fantasy peoples prayer and rituals, the power of the Globe could only be accessed by an intelligent mind, however with almost direct contact and advanced technology this power could be used without limit.
An so, G.A.I.A was created and won the epic battle between the forces of sci-fi and fantasy.
I've put these all on the concept sheet but I thought it'd be nice to have them all in one place plus I can put a bit more story with them:
Extraction of the Globe:
A technician is accompanied by his research drone while searching for signals that may indicate the Globe's location.
After the strongest signals have been located large scale excavation starts as the signals are weak and widespread.
Several layers deeper they discover an inclosed cave system which seems to be leading in the right direction.
Scientists enter, all connected with tethers to ensure safety and reliable relay of recorded data as drones are no longer reliable in this sort of environment.
Several days after discovery of the central chamber holding the Globe, pathways and permanent lighting has been set up allowing easier transfer of equipment. Preparations for excavation have also started with the decision to remove the Globe through a vertically drilled tunnel.
The tunnel is excavated and the winches erected to pull the Globe out.
The Laboratory
The Pilot of G.A.I.A and our protagonist, Eva has doubts about the whole G.A.I.A program. These are the living quarters inside the desert laboratory that curve around the outside of the building's hemispherical shape being one of the only places with access to natural light. The ozone layer surrounding this area is severely depleted, being the cause of the desert's origianl formation. therefore the buildings need to be insulated from UV radation and suits must be worn when outside.
This is the central area of the desert laboratory. Construction of G.A.I.A was moved to the desert because the Globe was too large and potentially dangerous to move long distances.
This is the initial build of G.A.I.A however once the Globe was installed much of it's appearance morphed from having it's power supply connected with the Globe. The supporting and restriction arms on the back of G.A.I.A were kept on a separate power supply to control G.A.I.A and server the connection with the Globe should it become out of control.
The Military general, in charge of the G.A.I.A program and owner of a very fancy looking office.
Inner City
A look at some of the inner city areas. Much of the Earth has become uninhabitable so population in cities has become much denser rather than cities expanding. As such much of the new architecture is simply build atop the old city creating a very clear divide between (literally) 'upper' and 'lower' classes.
Abandoned Land
A group of scouts from the fantasy army are scouting through the lands long abandoned by humans who could no longer survive in the climate and weak ozone layer.
I wanted to create an opposite version showing some of the sci-fi ground troops however ultimately these designs didn't feature in my illustration.
After the giant battle, our protagonist makes it out alive, if exhuasted to the point of unconciousness and demands that G.A.I.A be immediately decommissioned and returned. Struggles between the once united sci-fi people came with the loss of their common enemy. Despite the military generals reluctant agreement to decommission G.A.I.A higher political forces took control of the program. After multiple internal power struggles and misuse of G.A.I.A, distaster befalls the program and half of the humans colony is wiped off the map in an immense explosion.
the moral here of course is to not mess around with nature
(oh and climate change is real)

Concept sheet:
and final illustration
@tb_tom This time it really came through thinking through the premise of having an army of fantasy vs. an army of sci-fi people. I know the premise is actually that us artists are going to war over which genre is the best but I thought I'd extend that to the premise for my champion. From there I considered the greatest strengths of both sides, fantasy with it's closer bond with nature and magical forces vs. humans ingenuity and ever advancing technology. The magical side seemed a little more boring to run with as it's winning attribute is explainable primarily through 'it's a powerful magical force' so I went with team sci-fi wherein they discover what said magical force is and harness it's power. After that I knew I wanted something vaguely human looking so it was more relatable and also to be piloted by one of the humans.
Really all the ideas came from immersing myself in the situation and choosing the coolest sounding solutions that I came up with
