  • 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!

Ahhhh I'm so late to tell about it...
That would be nice to see red panda gripping his claws on tree ?
What do you think ? ^^

I thought about that too at first, it can still blend in with the environment, you don't have to add a lot of contrast. With that said there is no mistake in thinking that way because it doesn't effect the overall image. The problem is if you want to show off your weapon or not

Gorgeous, you almost want to eat it. :hamburger:

Awesome and wholesome illustration! I'll repeat myself, but it really does capture the feeling of a warm autumn day!
@innocent You ain't foolin' anyone with that 'almost', he does look cuddly though :smile:

Why do you want to eat everything?!! Are you Cookie Monster?!!
- Please send help he's gonna eat it! -

But thanks a lot! :smiley:

Happy new year everyone ! I wish you all the best for 2019!
And good luck for the last sprint on this contest if you haven't finished your entry yet!
Thanks to everyone for your advices and inputs, it helped me a lot! You're all awesome! Stay awesome or even better! :smiley:

Well done, adding in the ambient occlusion around the feet did the trick to ground her, and the quizzical expression is very fun.

Thanks and Happy new year to you too ^^

Just fear if everyone could have enough time to finish his own entry...
Anyways hope for the best to everybody !

Thank you! :smiley:
I hope for the best too!

Bwahaha love the cute but fearsome firefox, beautiful entry, congrats! and happy new year as well!

Thank you!! I'm so happy I managed to made it cute like that! :3

Final entry :

Déjhanaé

Story : "When she was young she had to leave her tribe and flea with the man she loves, and settled in a far kingdom. They had a son, they were happy but her man died from a terrible disease and when her son was send to stop a dangerous criminal and never came back she decided to take matter in her own hands!"

Concept Sheet

Illustration

@malcom Sorry, I have to bother you for a second, I wanted to know how it works to finalise the entry this year? Since the little button is gone now
And also it just keep resizing my illustration, it's supposed to be 4500x2865, I even try to make it smaller but it still resized
Sorry again and thanks already for your help :smile:

Excellent work! Awesome illustration! And I like this nice panda :wink:

Everyone want to cuddle him (or eat him ? xD)

I really hope your trouble for illustration size will be solve soon @rgdraw !

This red panda is soo cute! Good luck with the contest!

Thank you!! :3
Good luck to you too! :smiley:

@mr_dessin I need your help, I forgot the names of the other moderator, it seems Malcolm is busy right now, so I thought I should ask someone else for help but my memory suck so much xD

To finalize your entry, just update your first post with both your character sheet and your final illustration. As for the size of your illustration, if I remember correctly 3MB is the limit before the forums resizes your picture to a smaller size. So try saving your illustration so that it's smaller than that, either by saving a smaller copy or compress it a bit more.

I hope this helps and good luck to you :smile:

So fresh is so fresh!
You have time to make another one "alla @mr_dessin" :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I could do that though xD But I have to work on other stuff, but i'll definitely do more illustrations with that character, I just need to put the whole story in order before, just to be sure of where and when that fits in the story
But thanks a lot or the support :smiley:

Thanks ! :smiley:
We don't have to add "FINAL" in the topic title like last time?
I already tried to downsized it at the requested limit and it didn't work, I'm gonna try again just to be sure, but in case it still doesn't work, what can I do?

And thanks again for your help! :smiley:

Edit : I did it! It worked! It's the proper size now! Thanks! :smiley:

I've an idea about the lighting on the illustration - since the trees suggest a sunlight scattered by the trees, try adding a patches of bright light on characters. It would help to connect them to the background.

Looking good, mate! You have some vivid colours there.

Thanks a lot dude! Means a lot from you! :smiley:

Thank you!
But I don't know if I'll have time to work on it again I have other things to work on right now, but if I can i'll try that :smiley:

No you don't have too. You just need put your final stuff in your post like you already did :smile:

Alright then I think that's it
Thanks a lot for your help! :smiley:

Oh I've always been curious about the "double row" at the top of the website where it shows the cool stuff happening in the forum, how are they selected? (I found some great artist thanks to that! :smiley: )

I disagree you're a great exemple! For not giving up, always pushing yourself, and trying to find better ideas too! :smiley:

We try to have some variety to it, but it's mostly a case of picking pieces that really speak to us when we see them. And they also preferably need to work somehow when cropped in a small square format :smile:

I'm also glad you got to made some great discovery thanks to it. I believe it's one of the reason it's there in the first place.
