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
omg I feel so dumb thank you I didn't realise I could tag people
Wow! This is epic!!! Amazing work so far!!! Can't wait to see more!
Working on commissions today so I didn't get any work done for Phaedrus, but I did revisit the full body of him and took away all the painting basically and made it flat shading so I can show the design and colours off better! Any feedback is welcome! I'm thinking of making his floaty drapery more red to purple in tone as I don't like the pale fleshy kinda colour and I want to make it richer in colour. I did mess around with some but I wasn't really happy with much. I did maker it lighter with these flats though as I felt the value with conflicting and wanted to make it read better. Any suggestions? 
I almost like this simpler version better, he looks so elegant and clear. I love how the drapery looks like billowing smoke, its so cool!
Thanks! Yeah I tweaked a few of the colours and values so they purposefully read better and it is clearer too. I want to find this balance when i come to doing the final piece, so it's likely some individual elements will change (such as the colour of the rocks for example)
Well it's awesome so far and I can't wait to see the final!
This is very badass looking already. Can't wait to see more updates! Also, happy sketching everyone scrolling by 
already looking a lot better on the side of readability. I agree on the color changes you have planned, the pale fleshy color on the drapery is almost unsettling to the eye, lol. Would definitely say to keep it if you were aiming for something more horrifying, but this guy, he's so majestic, he deserves all the richest and most regal of colors ;D
I think you could keep some of the molten lava coming out of his chest where the blade protrudes, as well on the hands, I think it'll read fine - maybe just be a bit more sparing with where and how you place them and I think it'll look awesome! Not sure how familiar you are with principles of design, but I'd take a look at doing a few studies on the principles of design to inform your designs in the future if you want. I use this exact document as a reference when I need to brush up on a certain element of design:

Looking great, this is gonna be a delicious illustration, yum!
I'm a bit late, but daaaamn I love the energy in your sketches
@obsidanite Oh the lava will still be in the same places as was featured in the previous one, I omitted it for the sake of clarity and readable purely so you can see the colour of his skin! He will still be leaking so don't worry xD But yes, I will review his colours a little bit, overall happy with most of it, just the rocks and drapery that don't look right to me. Thank you for the link I'll be sure to read over it, and I'll be doing more sketches and mini paintings for Phaedrus so I can get him looking prim and proper for the final piece! Thanks again for the feedback
@tck Thanks so much! And nah, I've only really been here a few days, I still have so much planned for this challenge!
OMG! I lovee the design of your character! The color palette is very vibrant!! Maybe change the color of the dagger to a cold one, to accentuate that someone else attacked him
Thanks! Hmm I was considering making it a cooler colour, I like the idea of it literally being white hot from having been plunged in the heart of this fire god. I don't think it would really go well with the coolness of his skin though, but I'll mess around with that in some future colour options so thank you!
I am really looking forward to your final illustration, because all of these things look absolutely awesome so far, I love how just incredibly dynamic and flowy everything is, but yeah, as some have previously said, keep in mind the readability of the composition for the final one.
Your work is soooo good tho 
Thanks! Yeah, I think readability will be the hardest thing for me, I've made the same mistake before on complicated characters so I fully intend on changing that this time. I appreciate everyone's support too it really helps me a lot.
Alright so, Im going to visit the design of the character a bit later. After having done these thumbs, it's going to be tough to implement it fully but I believe it's possible and can be done well. I put together a couple more moodboards for refs of volcanos and mountains at various perspectives, I know scale and perspective is big on my mind for this piece as I really want to push the godly and intimidating feel of the character. I also was thinking about whether pitting him against another god of a different element (it wouldn't be very obvious) or even his brother and exacting revenge (referring to something like the top right or bottom right with a body on the ground kinda thing).
Please let me know your thoughts! I will most certainly do more thumbs yet but I want to know your guys' opinions on what works best in these thumbnails. They are numbered and I did try to make them as clear as possible!
If you guys have any suggestions too as to what kind of situation this character would look good in let me know!
I guess a very sentimental scene could work for your character. Maybe a scene where he is shown killing someone without any kind of joy ?
I'm not sure if this suit well his personality ?
Hmm that's a good idea, sentimental would work, I want to show that he would be affected by what he's doing. Or even a sense of relief? Like maybe he finally defeated his brother and the burden of vengeance and hurt after all those years would be lifted? I'll write this down thank you!
This looks dope but I think you could push it!
I can imagine the wings were wrapped around him and formed the dormant volcano's cone, maybe have the wings wrapped around him more, like Galeo in the recent LoL cinematic, and have a lot of that built up debris falling off the wings to expose the feathers. To me, he looks like a young god compared to the more "ancient being that is finally awakening" vibe your previous posts were giving off. Good luck bro, can't wait to see more progress!
