  • 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

  • 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!

@Maxloegler Thanks man!
@Alien_hand Hahaha, it's one of those "sexy / beauty of the natural body" type things. I did! but I do want her to show off the body mainly, I think a lot of open skin on a dancer has an air of confidence, so I didn't want to enclose that confidence with a lot of layers
@Crazymoon haha, thanks man! I love tackling strange shader challenges, especially since I'll be doing it in Marmoset.
@Ndevos Thank you! Still a few things I want to push like the nostril shape and parts of the check where the laugh line crosses.
@Art1ficer Thanks man, but she's no slave :stuck_out_tongue: Keepin at it!
@MisterWolfen I'm tryin haha, haven't gotten back to that part in full, but I'm experimenting with some extra forms for the side sash
@engcenti Thanks!

Alrighty guys, finally gettin this WIP up, trying to get all the forms in so everything will be ready for sculpting, still got the most to go with in the hair and the side sash, but it's getting along. The original Lotus idea I had in the design didn't look good when I tried sculpting it, so I did a similar pendant on the top to use on the skirt. Used Zbrush native subtool transparency to simulate the idea for the transparent cloth. As always feel free to C&C!

Jan '17

Good development so far. Definitely worth gathering some belly dancer ref if you haven't already. One thing that stands out to me is that she has very narrow hips. I suggest widening them a bit, I think it'd benefit the design, especially as a dancer.

Jan '17

@Dandoombuggy Thanks man! I did have some but probably not enough. You're right, I didn't want her to have big hips but I went maybe a touch too far the other way, when I widen it I'll probably find the legs are alittle short too haha

Alright, time to keep these updates frequent, had a lot going on over the past month. Added more to the side sash, widened the hips, shortened the torso, edited the legs, still got the feet to go as far as touch up. Next is the headband, gonna be probably the most intricate part of her jewelry; gonna be fun :triumph: Time to catch up!

WIP4.png1834x1200 760 KB

I'm going to do a lot of large shape patterns on parts of the Transparent clothing to link the Line of Actions and direct the eye around (same thing with the tattoo's I'm probably gonna add). As always feel free to C&C :smiley:

Jan '17

nice!
i think the feathers don't fit.. maybe something different ?

Jan '17

looking really awesome!!
i do agree with @dandoombuggy still, the body shape at the torso area reminds me of a male super hero, a V tapered shape rather than the "typical" hour glass figure of a belly dancer

hope you dont mind but drew over a little to explain what i mean

aveon_01.jpg1422x1200 360 KB

maybe i pushed it tooooooo wide but... yea.... >.> haha

hope this helps!

haha, alittle too wide in my opinion too @Ooyoo, but I think you're right, gonna continue to push it in relation to the width of the waist. Thanks a lot for the paintover! :smile:

@Maxloegler Thanks man! I think I can make the feathers work :sweat_smile: (was thinking about the use of them on the headband i'll be adding). I could definitely replace them with the large shape patterns I'll be using on the transparent cloth though; Gianluca Rolli's "Moon & Sun" piece, really his work in general, is a pretty big inspiration for the look/mood of the transparent cloth pattern designs.

This is getting better and better. Keep it up.

Feb '17

@sarawildeart Thanks :smile:
@fantasymaster That's a mighty compliment, will do!

Pushed the hips and update on the headband, still got a few forms I'd like to incorporate on that one. Also re-did the paint over after Using the Transpose mesh feature haha, took the time to try a bit of a different color scheme, more iterations on that later.

WIP5.png1372x1014 942 KB

Feb '17

I'd say, push the hips even more! She still looks more like before. I really like @Ooyoo's paintover suggestion!

Feb '17

i agree with the hips, but just want to say this is coming along very nicely dude, digging the style and loving the little accessories you've modeled, they look awesome dude.

Feb '17

She is beautiful and I Love the accessories you've done. Now take this with a grain off salt coming from me. But i feel her neck is just a little on the thick side. Narrowing it just a little will help push that femininity.

Feb '17

@enalya xD alright I got it haha, I think they're wide enough now? They do come out to her shoulders.
@Alien_hand Thanks man, I appreciate the support :smile:
@Benzychan Thanks alot dude, and no worries, you were right in the end haha, smoothed out the neck and leaned it in just a bit, makes her head stand out a bit now, so may adjust that slightly too.

Wanted to post this WIP after I got the Hair sculpt done as well, but I got distracted with another art piece over the weekend so got alittle behind, will get that done tomorrow and maybe experiment in keyshot to get a nice beauty of the high-rez to update the top of the thread? :smiley: Anywho here's where I'm at for now! Got some additional tweaks to go on the foot and in-lays for the gems/jewelry. As always feel free to leave your C&C!

WIP7.png1211x1097 701 KB

Feb '17

Man ! She's turned so pretty !! Can i suggest to shorten a bit the abdomen length? See the paintover, do as you feel. Could make her more cute and help draw pretty hips curves ! Once again, just a question of tastes :smile:

Aveon.jpg1211x1097 235 KB

This said, nothing to add. She's gorgeous ! Great and very consistent style.

Feb '17

@grigouips Thank you! Felt the creeping sensation of the uncanny valley haha, started to pour over skeleton reference to compare but seeing the paintover confirms the issue. May retain the pinch that the waist creates, but either way I'll make the edit when I'm back from work :smile:

9 days later

Feb '17

Looking really nice dude. I cant offer any more feedback than what has already been said. But really really nice work man she looks great she's got this sweet innocent look about her. Great jop capturing personality in your characterms :smile:

Alright guys, time to break the silence with 2 days left to go (deadline is end of the 28th, after all). retopo and map-bake are done, didn't want to post till I had significant progress. Apologies it took so long, I wasted a lot of time last week and I regret having done it, especially having earlier this month known I had fallen behind, shameful to say the least :disappointed: .

As such it's time to bring the all-nighter in tomorrow to get her textures, pose, lighting and her magic added in. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you who're almost finished! I'm not giving up now :triumph:
