  • 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!

My champion will be based on the Fantasy side! I wanted to capture Egyptian art and it's ancient history into my character! I'll be focusing specifically on the God Anubis for inspiration. I want my champion to be able to harness the mystical powers of the undead to bestow justice upon civilization.. woo! Bestowed the ancient powers of Anubis, she was gifted the powers of a God through a gauntlet and staff. Sworn under Anubis, she protects her people from the evils that escape the after-life who are deemed unworthy.

Hello everyone! Sorry for being super late ;O I've been working on my character since December but didn't know about forum posting ahhh! I lucked out, the community looks awesome!! :smile: I'll start uploading my early concept works tonight as well as model progression. I'm close to texturing but I'll be cutting it close. This will be my first full model woo! Hope to hear back from everyone the work on here looks amazing!

NOTE TO SELF: IF ATTEMPTING TO TRY FINISHING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN LAST MINUTE, PREPARE MORE COFFEE.

Marmoset Viewer:
Being my first time going through this program I definitely wasn't ready for how low my textures would need to be. Still need to learn about the retopology process. :smile: Hope you like it!

Now I'll be getting back to schoolwork, oh boy.

Alright! Here is the earliest stage of my concept, a super quick sketch on paper along with a lot of my references in a mood board.

I wanted to make a graceful, yet powerful warrior. I wanted her to stand tall and straight like the Egyptians would sculpt their figures. I wasn't completely sure on backstory as of that moment, but I knew she would be a warrior/champion under Anubis. Anubis is the Egyptian god of embalming, mummification and the afterlife. Anubis was also associated with the process of "weighing the heart" where Anubis would weigh a man's heart against a feather to see if he was worthy to enter the realm of the dead. A lot of the god's ancient history was taken into account when creating this character.

Woo! Okay here are some of the first stages to my body sculpt and headgear! I knew I wanted to sculpt a classic Anubis-like head piece. I started work on a gauntlet for her left hand. Gauntlets are epic, so I was feeling a gauntlet. Wanted the gauntlet to be more claw-shaped to relate back to Anubis. I wanted the gauntlet to harness some sort of power given through the large crystal on the top. Dark energy from the afterlife? Maybe to capture the souls of the dead? Was tossing ideas around.

Update with my past progress! I'm uploading some of my earlier models. I extracted masked areas of the body to start creating the general shape for the clothing/armor. Wanted the armor to keep the "ancient Egyptian" vibe. I wanted lots of jewels and simplistic line patterns. Was feeling she needed a drape-like skirt of sorts. Discovered a lot of things while sculpting my first big model. Don't let your extracted shapes get too thin. Keep the back of things masked.. or hell will break loose.

The amount I am learning working on this model is insane. My biggest mistake was still making the extractions too thin or using the dynamic trim to chip away the insides. Either way.. not good for me. Took a lot of time to get around. For anyone who suffers from my mistakes in the future. The inflate brush will save your sad broken mesh like it did mine, but took a ton of extra time to smooth all my pieces again. Also my first rig in Zbrush! Very cool process! I'm not saying I needed to restart my rig four times ..but! We are here now :smiley:

I also began sculpting ideas for like.. "mummy wraps" because of the Anubis embalming take I was going for. The cloth braid on the back I originally had wasn't working for the model and I found it too clunky. I love to mask random ideas, started thinking about tattoos for her body as well. Wanted to add a necklace of sorts.

The process for my first sculpt is a bit rickety. Smoothing and the trim brushes can be very time consuming. I find that my biggest issue. If anyone has brush recommendations on speeding up the process I'd love to hear them! I find that the Trim smooth borders brush gets the job done quicker for me than the trim dynamic. Figured out how to properly use the Zremesher, I love him. Bless be the Zremesher. I extracted my necklace mask as well as tested out a few ideas for the color or her armor. I am hoping for a black with blue tint and gold accents by finished product. Also started staff concepts. To fit the Anubis vibes I wanted the staff to symbolize the weighing of the heart and feather process. A "staff of Judgement". I wanted to include the heart and the feather.

WOO BOYS I HAVE DISCOVERED LIMITED SLEEP IS THE PATH TO SUCCESS. YES. We are now pretty caught up to where I am. Running real short on time but working on textures. Very painful process of Zremeshing, Maya, then Substance, but I'm super glad to learn it. Here I have mostly finished the staff. Smoothed about everything out. The hieroglyphs on the gauntlet stand for Anubis. She will use this to capture rampant escaped souls while the glyphs on the staff stand for "Judgement." Which is pretty much the same process of the weighing of the heart. Also added some basic braids, running real short on time so I glanced over them pretty quickly. Day was spent on textures! I'll upload later today.
