Ahh that portrait of him is really well painted, the values and edge control are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more!
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?in24.7k
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 youin1.5k

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!in49.8k
Another update! I am trying to pace myself to make sure I am thinking about my character clearly while trying to make sure I meet deadlines XD. Here is Ashur but I was playing around with different scar/burn ideas. I mentioned in the story that he has a very noticeable scar that can make people nervous. However, when the scar could change from being like a normal scar to like a storm kind of darkish tone or shade on him? I was trying to figure things out lol! I can't decide. Enjoy the update!
This is great and all of them works! I like the idea of having the scar a different tone than the skin! About the shape what if it's similar to his powers, or the shape a skull or of what made him the scar if it's a creature?
Ooooo! His scar can be related to his powers or it could even be a tattoo of some kind!
something else you may also want to consider is the effect on form the scar would have - if it's running up the side of his face, since scar tissue is a tightly wound mass of fibers, it might be drawing his mouth into a snarl (further intimidating strangers!) if it affects one of his arms, it might have twisted the muscle or even the arm itself into an unexpected shape.
i love a character born with a backstory! interested in seeing where you take this guy. his hair is great and the way you imply forms with soft value is impressive.
Numer 1 for body is really clear and looks amazing =D
And the same for 2 for face.
awesome concept. looking forward to see more =)
I didn't even think of that! That would be more intimidating XD. But I will definitely try adjusting his arm scars, since scars do raise can look distorted.
And thank you for your comments and advise! I hope to share more concepts soon! 
I was going to aim for #2 too as well for the face XD there is something cool about it.
Good evening guys! Another update! This time I was focusing on his clothing and on some of his moves and how he would use his staff-relic and his powers. I had fun with this doodles!
With the clothing, I marked the ones that I did like, I may go with either one of the two or combine them since they do look similar. I mostly did small iterations since in my head I kind of knew what I wanted but it is always a good idea to draw things out!
Charging - when there is a convenient thunderstorm he can use his staff as a conduction rod to get a bit more energy from the lightning.
Defense - Electric shield
Hand to Hand - He can focus his energy into his hands (or other parts of his body) and use them as electric pulses.
Lightning Bolt - Just the usual lightning bolt kind of attacks, depending on how much power he puts behind it can range from short range to long-range (long range takes more energy.)
Enjoy guys!
Really nice!! Some really great abilities for him, do you know which you'll use for the illustration?
Awesome work!
a sling - YES! that also makes sense mechanically, if his arm requires support or has limited range of motion/he only uses it for combat, he probably wouldn't want it to flop around too much outside of that.
with regards to the rest of the clothing, i'm curious about the mix of styles/the time period and setting indicated by his adornments. i don't think what you've indicated here is really a kimono so much as, well, a cloak. a feudal, pre-industrial setting would be interesting but would clash with the zippers (i think those are zippers?) on his pants.
With the sling, yes and YESSSS read my mind perfectly, that is exactly how I wanted it to come across XD!
And Oh dear, well as regards his garments, what I have written in my notes was “Theme/style” I was only inspired by different clothing in different time periods and try to I guess combinneee them together? Just simply clothing styles that I was looking for as reference to come up with something interesting. The actual “setting” takes place in a sci-fi/fantasy/ possibly steam-punkish realm where there is a heavy melting-pot of different cultures. So his clothes are a bit mix-match, almost like a walking vacation stamp (in a way) of all his travels being a thief. I apologize if it wasn’t very clear in my writing, when I write I say a bunch of things in the beginning if I am not sure about stuff yet but they may change over time XDDD
And it is actually suppose to be a kimono (or It’s a kimono inspired type of cloak) but it’s just not being worn properly, he wears it as a jacket over a jacket if that makes sense at all lol.
I am still working on that, I think i might do a combination of like charging and attack. Don’t worry I have done a few sketches and may share some of my ideas soon XD.
Nice! That does sounds awesome! Curious to see that!!
What? Color?! YES, finally bringing in some colors after thinking so hard about how he looks, etc XD. Anyways, I wanted to do his weapon since I thought it would be an easier to think about and bring to life! This is the ancient relic that has completely changed Ashur's life forever, now he is one with his blade and he will use it for good! (He better! XD) Enjoy this new update guys! 
I honestly appreciate all your thoughts and comments thus far!
I love the concept of the art and how it ties in well with his powers. Good work so far!! I'll be cheering for you!
I love where it's going !
From the story to the design, everything looks good so far.
I like the idea of his staff/lance being wrapped when not used. And it goes well with his adventurer-looking outfit (which, by the way, ties perfectly to his backstory).
Keep on the good work !
