4 looks really cool great design and color explorations overall 
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?in24.2k
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

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.

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!in48.0k
@gurzy Cheers! I think they all work quite well, actually looked at colour theory this year haha.
@edenriquebq I do like the yellow, its so dominating and bold.
So hard to make a decision now...
Initial Sketch and pose.
Just a color comment, Skeletor is awesome, and I personally like 5, but the more I look around these forums I think I just like black white and red together.
Tough choice ^^ I'm a little late to the party but 2, 3 and 5 look the most intriguing to me. I like the orange more than the yellow as an accent color (but I just like orange and black, so I'm biased). Skeletor, as others have already said, works well. 5 is cool and has a nice distribution of the red... hmm, ok, I can't pick a favorite, but I'd go with 5 just for the unique factor (it differentiates from Skeletor and I think fits better with your idea that the orange one). I'm looking forward to what you choose
If I'm correct there is also (dark) green on number 5 ^^
And the white here tend to lean towards blue (a small tint).
But I do agree with you, black white and red look very villainy together...and that's why I have hard times finding my colours for my own character (if I put black & white (for instance), my shark will look like a whale instead of a shark xD).
Sorry for the off topic Brodley ^^'
I like this one, because it has a nice asymetric design on his chest. I'd like to see some of this asymetrical feature on your final concept.
Wow... no kidding on those colors, you have made me realize just how bad the color calibration is on the monitor I was initially looking at these with, thanks!
Glad to help you @PeterH !
@mr_dessin your right with the dark green and monitor setting, I have a couple screen so i can see what they look like with different setting but its a proper pain to calibrate when I'm constantly jumping between games, films and drawing. haha
@PeterH Black and red just works so well, my old PC build colour scheme haha. I think I favour 2 due to it being close to my current colour build. Might push it towards a copper colour for the high lights. But still with the darker black and grey theme.
@sparksofdawn Think the orange, yellow and red are more villain colours as well. 1 looks nice but its to heroic for this design. I will try painting in mono and then add the colours in again to see what they look like.
@seekula Thanks, i think the symmetry backs to futuristic Utopian theme but i wanted to bring some asymmetry into the design to push the villain theme.
Touched up the lines a bit to reflect design more and base underlay down.
Hope you will keep the lineart, it's really interesting. An illustration with Harry Clarke's vibe can be so neat with your character.
Not seen his work before, I really like his use of patterns within his forms.
We will see about the line work haha if i can get it to work it would be nice to leave in.
Painting so far.

Post holiday update, decided to move the hood back to show off the mask and a little bit of the dreads. think i need to make a bit of a fix for his right shoulder and might add the tail of the dreads swinging behind him. Not too much time left so time to knuckle down.
Deadline has been extended 1 week more ^^ (January 13th instead of 6th).
It is getting better and better, good luck !

Starting to add some colour.
I've brought the design back to the original coloured sketch I did and I'm pretty pleased with Lorenimity overall.
I think I'm done for Art Wars 3 (I will now instantly see a load of mistakes after uploading...), A lot of progress from last years entry but I've got some things I want to work on for next year. Mainly backgrounds and being more efficient when painting. I wish everyone good luck and its been super fun.
