Oh I see ^^
Is it some kind of wings on his shoulders/back ?
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!in48.3k
Honestly I don't know. When I was painting, I was only thinking about flow and making cool shapes. So in my head, she has a ripped cape and the 2 big shapes on her back can be anything at the moment. I was think they were a energy battery pack thing or maybe an energy dispenser that can make plasma wings. Something like that. For the first time I was just using my visual library and seeing how far I could get before reference. Now I have to define things.
That sounds interesting !
I can understand that part...sometimes we draw things without really knowing what we're doing exactly ^^
The magic of the flow we could say.
I like the claw like shape coming up from behind, mimicing the hand a bit as though being controlled by it. Looking forward to seeing more.
Nice progress! I like the extra planet in the back and extra energy flow 
@rgdraw thank you for the feedback.
@toutydroid thank you for the feedback as well.
im going to be completely honest the first thing i saw when i looked at the shoulder things was a pair of shoes .
Lol No worries. Hopefully when I add more detail and some other stuff it won't come off that way.
Besides that, do you have any feedback on the composition, colors, details or the planet in the background? I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Maybe you should add some others colours ?
I was going to tell you the other day, sorry to be so late ^^'
Even with few tints...Maybe some yellow or another very distinct colour.
Also...if you are on another planet than earth, you could change grass and sky (rocks too maybe) colours as well.
The other problem I have (maybe that's just me ?) but it's not easy to understand what is really her power on the illustration (without explanations)...I guess she is feeding the cristal with robot powers/energy or something ?
Lastly...maybe she is a bit too much in front of us, try to create an angle more interesting (or extend canvas ?) ?
(and I'm already sorry to say all of this...and now I only can see shoes like @brandoncrampton1 said ^^''' maybe these "wings" could be some sort of vaccum for the wrong energy or I don't know ?)
I really hope others will help you...more advices are sure better than just one...(but could also be burdened when there are too much; and going on all different directions ^^').
colours look good the composition in my opinion could be a little more dynamic, but that could just by personal taste as i like splash art type illustration. Maybe dont have their hand facing flat towards the camera? hands are very important when it comes to the gesture . I would also avoid cropping off the feet
Thanks a bunch for the feedback. I'll answer 1 thing at a time
Colors:
I do plan on adding more colors. Probably some yellow like you suggested and maybe some bright reds. I do need something besides the dark blue and red purple-ish body suit color. Since I painted most things on a single layer, changing the colors will be a bit tricky but I will try. Hopefully some time next week I'll have a new update.
As far as her powers go...well lets start with the wings. The wings are like a car exhaust so there's energy coming out of the Wings and she can control that energy to shot energy beams or make planet size balls of energy to defeat her enemies. (This is my version)
But this is a story element in the piece that I actually enjoy hearing different opinions on. To my some of my friends, it gives a nostalgic feeling. Other think the wing part is projecting plasma energy so she can potential fly. There were other things but I forgot them.
Being too in front was kinda an aesthetic choice. I can try making the canvas more wide. I'll try to work on the shoe thing as some things aren't final yet.
Thanks a bunch for the feedback. I'll probably post this on some other social groups and try to see what others think. I totally know what you mean about having to much feedback.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. The original reason I went with a composition like this is because I like the poster look. I plan on changing the hand at this point. Not sure what im going to do just yet. Will play with ideas.
