- 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?in24.1k
- 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!in47.6k
Part 2. Final choices.
A brutal mechanized armor set increasing strength. Small arms chemical weapon based. Special move: poison or chemical self destruct of some sort., must flee after use. Mass produces small arm weapons using same substance.
A telekinetic evil mastermind. Special move: force field, or maybe bullet reverse. Can levitate. Genocidal. Smells of death.
An evil genius manipulator. Has small army. Can camouflage. Special move: suit can chameleon any average sized person for short period of time.
Really want to give hero a chance to fight this guy from any era so I'm leaning towards the middle. Heroes' really want to stop this guy the most i would think. Very Very bad man.
@sanguine @MODOF Thanks! Glad to hear it!
@mr_dessin Well I think I'm going with creepy. It was hard to choose.
Part 4. Developement.
Developement might have a couple more entries until I start to design the illustration.
The more I spend time with this character the more I creep myself out. The main thing I'm taking into consideration is staying away from just slapping a skull mask on him and calling it a day. And keeping with a design that will look good (scary) enough to have the 'wow' factor in an illustration and be interesting in theory.
I like the idea that the heads he adorns are other telekinetics that he defeated and keeps them un-dead. Haven't thought about how yet. I guess telekinesis would be the toss up answer to everything. His hair is wrapped around them maybe that's how he's connected to them power wise. But they are attached to his armor so as not to fall and will show that in turn around drawing.
One cool thing I thought was when he activates them the eyes and mouths open and the hair floats a little bit and he's using their power along with his own making him extra devastating.
He's skinny because his brain uses so much energy and takes up calories.
The challenge is to make this guys face terrifying since he doesn't have a mask and somewhat 'mad' otherwise he wouldn't be genocidal. Maybe I'll make him an armor helmet of some kind. Thinking in comic book reference he might work for someone like Thanos who's more powerful because they would let him do what he wanted. Chaotic evil.
oof. life does tend to get in the way. i feel that. also, this stuff looks great. from that lineup, i would have picked the same ones you did haha. i also cant choose between the bottom row. haha. if you choose the green one, desaturate the red accents. youd probably end up with a deep muted orange for it to not look like christmas.
good choice with the flags as well. the flagstaff can be bones and stuff, and the flag can be human leather with like, a face on one part and a nipple on the other. very cool. im glad to know that senpan kai isnt dead. keep it up, man!
Nice, love the hair with the heads pauldrons, you are headed down a pretty strong path with that. As far as making him look evil, sometimes a face can just look super evil by association (the disembodied heads help out with that) So I am thinking like Anthony Hopkins, since he played Hannibal he has always just seemed super creepy no matter what.
Like that somewhat crazy expression, just a bit happy. Good stuff!

Wellllll... getting to that place where everyone else stuff looks cool and you hate your own. But that's okay we've all been there before.
Here are some updates Im trying to figure out.
I've ditched the wings for war flags. The wings idea was cool and biblically terrifying in shape language but that was a real bitch to fit into a decent illustration style like the pieces that placed in the past two competitions. Besides he could use flags material to make shapes and stuff as a telepath
I noticed that the finalists who didn't quite make it to the winner circle in the past two years had lots of dead space in their illustrations that may have hindered their points. Or didn't show the entire body. So I'm trying to incorporate that into my illo. No dead space, and full body.
That was one problem i ran into, the second was using the power as required by the brief. So I think I'm going to go with the bottom one that is sketched out. Where he is using his special to bullet stop a bunch of arrows and other ballistics. Its not the coolest but I't simple. and I think I can paint that by the deadline.
The other idea where he was selfishly bulletstopping arrows infront of himself but his ally's were getting hit was confusing and I didn't work out the pose I had just started painting to get a feeling to see if I liked the thumbnail and it was a no.
