  • 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 first post technically. Got some mood boards going. I really love the concept and design of angels, so I wanted to design one for this challenge. Going with fire, my concept is that of a God, who lived in a volcano and finally awoke.
Will probably change this as I go along! He doesn't have a name yet either, but I'll post the sketches I have of him after the first moodboards.

MGnMQaa.jpg3664x2376 1.08 MB

Here are some of my first sketches too! Will do some concepts especially of the bust upward as I'm not totally happy with the design of the head.




Jan '20

Nice concepts from the initial sketches. I like the image of lava oozing from his forehead and body. He looks sinister.

Jan '20

Ahh thank you! I like that he looks quite sinister, I can really play around with that

Jan '20

Great start, I love the concept !

You should be careful with the oozing lava, there's only a small gap between looking sinister and looking like his vital energy is running away.

Keep up the good work !

Jan '20

haha thanks! And will do, I'm not completely set on his design yet and I want to push the uniqueness of it. I've seen many designs like this myself so I want to put a lot of thought into his design before I go with the illustration!

Decided to go digital now for some iterations on the head. Decided to mix a few of the designs I did with some cultural references, in particular Roman helmets which I've always loved. I'm thinking more of the background of this character too. Haven't got a name yet, but I like the idea that he was once a mighty god that god into a fight with another but he lost. Due to this, parts of him broke apart and his helmet and facade are failing him (hence the lava spilling from his crest)

Either way, I'd love some feedback on these. I like the simplicity of the first two, but as I really want to try with something new and different and unique, I'm thinking a good combination of all of these. In particular I like the crest shape of the first one the most, with the fiery collar and general silhouette of the third. Let let me know what you guys think? (I'm gonna work more on this and create a few other designs)

Jan '20

Reply to

nesokaiyoh

Wow, your stuff looks really amazing so far, keep it up!
Regarding the heads, I personally prefer the third one. Because of the hidden eyes he seems way more mysterious and menacing than the others.

Jan '20

I also really enjoyed the idea of hiding the eyes, on the other hand I like that he shows emotion and pain through his eyes, really he's in a lot of tragic pain, I'll probably keep going back and forth lol OR maybe just hide one eye joy

Jan '20

Another update, iterated further on the head design I liked. Mixed the first and third in the end, and struggling on whether to keep his eyes or not.

Full body design! Still something off but I've got plenty of days left so I'll think on the design, get another sheet going for other angles of him and then work on the thumbs for the final piece! He's more of a lava-fire kinda guy now.

A little more of his backstory is that he was once fighting for the good of all gods but another god had started working against him, Phaedrus was framed by this other god and imprisoned within a great volcano prison. After many centuries of pain and thoughts of vengeance he finally arises, having amassed much power.

I wanted to point out this is just an illustration showing his colours, full body design etc this won't be my final piece! For my final piece I will be showing more of a perspective based piece, much like those shown in my moodboards.

Ahh thank you so much! Yeah it went from fiery fire to fiery magma which I'm enjoying delving into, not something I've ever really drawn or painted before

Not doing much today, but more focusing on some of his story and how he appears to others. It hasn't been mentioned yet, but Phaedrus was huge, large enough to have to be contained within a volcano. When he arose, the fire atop his bright crest turned into clouds of ash, which rained upon those who stood against him. His fire becoming lava, seeping from the very wounds he sustained many centuries back. His very rage explodes from his being, while his face says that of pain. For once he was a benevolent and kind god, ravaged from the very core now seeks to destroy all that had betrayed him. "Phaedrus; God of Light, ruler of all that burns in life"

On a design note I'm not entirely happy with his design from the torso up. I want to make his crest more ornate, and give give him some elements of Greek armour and clothing. The drapery that floats around his body is what he throws and becomes a sheet of lava falling from the sky.

Jan '20

Alright so here's some basic variations of typical Roman (if a little bit fantasised) armour. In the end the type of feel I want this character to have is that of pride and pain, he was betrayed by at one point a dear friend and is overwhelming with emotion. I want his outfit to really represent this, and the struggles he faced when the world turned against him and had everything stripped away. These were before I discussed the ideas on another forum, but I was originally going with something inherently Roman/greek influenced but I'm also exploring sketches and ideas in how his body is breaking and forming armour itself, how the fight left him more damaged than even he knows and is now pushing his body too far, regardless of being an ulmighty god.

Either way these were a rough iteration of the previous ideas, and whatever idea I go with he'll have the floating drapery featured on the last one.
