  • 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

  • Hello! My name is Vithor, I am from Brazil, studied Design at a local college worked as an illustrator for more than 10 years. I took a time off around 3 years ago and am trying to get back in my art shape and maybe become professional again. Here are some recent pictures: You can find timelapses for most of them on my instagram: www.instagram.com Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) • Instagram photos and videos 123 Followers, 638 Following, 19 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) Comments and critiques are always welcome.Cheers!
  • @patrycja.lerch Thank you I created another variant, which might capture the witch look I was going for better
  • 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!

In the world of myth and magic, a shadowy figures gather around a gigantic crystal ball, performing an ancient ritual to spread their warriors to other realms.

In the world of science and fact, masked scientists cluster to watch the switch that opens the experimental portal to another dimension.

The greatest Seer in the world screams in shock as visions flood through her head.

The massive supercomputer artificial intelligence sputters as a message repeatedly runs across it's screens.

War is coming
War is here
But one shall save
Do not fear
One of steel, blood and bone
Of magic, science, and heart alone
Shun him not or he may turn
Fear him not or all may burn
With tender heart but wicked blade
Follow him when all shall fade

Hi there! Here is my contest entry for the Art War. I am planning to go through the process of creating this character in this topic as I design them. I do not have a finished design, instead, I will be using this space to go through my process to creating a character as well as maybe giving some extra story and exploring the character. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I am about to!

Here is the day one sketches, I guess. I'm mostly doing this on the weekends and during lunch hour at work.

So, concept wise- I had the idea to mix the ideas of sci-fi and fantasy. That's what I like in stories for the most part, taking older ideas and mixing them. So, I decided to make my character a little bit of both. So, these are my sketches. Enjoy!

I also did a some sketches on my cintiq, but they won't upload, for some reason. (I'll have to put them on later.) Anybody know why that may be the case?

a lot of different ideas going on there. I like the arm design. Just make sure to pick either sci-fi or fantasy (but you can make a separate character for each category if i remember correctly) since those are the rules. Keep it up! :smile:

I must agree with Khulim somewhat in that I think the character should definitely have either a sci-fi or fantasy base (ie. backstory) so that whilst they may currently be equipped with both types of gear they weren't created as a mix of both from the beginning :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the comments! They are very helpful. As for strictly picking either Sci-Fi or Fantasy, I'm more entering this contest to practice continuously refining a character, (and I already have all the stuff they're giving away anyways) so I sorta figured that I wouldn't mind if I had to break that rule a little bit for my own satisfaction. Besides, a true hero is one who stops the war, and makes peace, and who better to do that then one who is a part of both worlds?


Excerpt from the recovered diary of the traitorous Grand Sage
Dire straits I am in, now. The council did not heed my advice to refrain from provoking the magicless culture. Who knew they relied on miracles we could not understand? They made me out a coward, a traitor, forcing me to flee in the dead of night.

This war is my responibility. I was the one who opened that portal. Roberto, Celica, my scribe, all dead for naught. All is not lost, though. I found one of their solders; some iron imp, I can only assume. It seems to have lost it's memory; it does not wish to fight.

Very well then. It seems I have an unlikely travel companion. It is my hope that we do not die together, at the very least.

With these here I tried some concepts with making a cyborg elf and some robot mage ideas. I personally like the one on the bottom left; it has more personality. I like the barrel shape, it reminds me of Chrono Trigger.
I had a more humanoid robot mage that I sketched before this one, but I still can't get it to upload, for some reason.

the robots in typical fantasy gear is really interesting and works really well!

Well, unfortunately my workload jumped up a lot, so I didn't have enough time to complete this challenge. I really liked the character ideas I came up with, so I plan to be recycling them to use some other place, though I don't know where. I'll have more time to finish and make it something I really enjoy, as well. Thanks everybody!
