  • 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

  • Hello! My name is Vithor, I am from Brazil, studied Design at a local college worked as an illustrator for more than 10 years. I took a time off around 3 years ago and am trying to get back in my art shape and maybe become professional again. Here are some recent pictures: You can find timelapses for most of them on my instagram: www.instagram.com Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) • Instagram photos and videos 123 Followers, 638 Following, 19 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) Comments and critiques are always welcome.Cheers!
  • @patrycja.lerch Thank you I created another variant, which might capture the witch look I was going for better
  • 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!

Experimenting with composing/desigining the character based off of whether or not they are attacking or defending
Since this character is mostly drawing inspiration from the mind, they're kind of 'fantastical' looking, like a 200 foot tall imaginary friend. Who will fry you with Holy Lasers.

THEY ARE SO CUTE. THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!

That reminds me, are we supposed to choose between attacking and defending? Or can it be both?

We do have to choose! I just feel like developing two compositions and picking between my favorite :blush:
i think i might be more partial to the composition of the attacking pose but the expression in the defensive composition is more my style.
Also yeah, There is something charming about someone who is very tall, and imposing, but with a 'sweet' face.

I like his expression on the right, he looks like a more chaotic character than he is on the left.
He could be a really good fallen angel or a mad god of some sorts

Doing some full-body/outfit sketches + color testing
IDK why, i feel like i want to go for a more natural look for the 'outfit', it feels like it fits more if the pieces of the 'costume are actually just parts of the body. I might also stick with a very limited pallet, sticking to greys and golds mostly

Yeah- the idea behind him is kind of like,
I think about what it must be like to Be the 'champion,' shouldering that responsibility, having all that power to topple/dominate in this 'war' setting. What kind of person that would have to be.
A 'bad end' scenario with a character with all that power would just be total devastation. Which is something I don't think he necessarily wants but would be unavoidable if he really had to go all out.

I really like your design so far, I kinda like the one with more human like limbs more than the other one

hahah hah. Faction change. OK- so. the thing i really liked was the crumbling statue look i had going on, and after smacking my forehead for not jumping on it sooner: Statues are stone. Stone is earth.
So the new look is kind of inspired by a flower garden ( complete with decorative statues.)
Also it was going to be easier to be true to the logo with an earth faction character
Their powers? you'll just have to wait and see.

I love your line work , you got this very beautiful style that has an almost 80s space opera anime feel.

There is a lot of potential and raw story you can already tell from lookin at this character sketch design. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this homie.

The personality in these sketches are off-the-charts. Absolutely love seeing the exploration. Great stuff and can't wait to see where this goes :smile:

Nice stuffs !
I (and we certainly) have no idea where you'll go next (maybe even you ?)...but I wait with lots of coffee :coffee:

Just curious which side are you going to take (sorry I didn't read everything) ? Or you don't know either yet ?
Best of luck in your art trip Alfie !

17 days later

I found you on insta the other day! These are all fantastic sketches, I love your cute boys! I'd love to more from you :smiley:

@nesokaiyoh A! thanks! I've got a few things planned for What I want to do with my entry ^_^, ive got something in the works thats a tad different than what ive posted in the thread here, (per usual for my threads
I'll hopefully have something to show for it soon but im still ironing out a lot of details

@nightblue-art @mr_dessin @camron031

Thank you all for showing interest in my thread! I know i've been a little inactive but I promise im not dead :joy:

good to know you're not dead :joy: I'm expecting some good stuff coming up on this thread

OK time for some thinky thougths no one asked for:
So im taking things in a bit of a different direction, most of these here are just to show you all where I started from- and what to expect from future updates. Are these my usual Over-the top detailed designs? Not quite, not yet at least. Having a non art related job is really hitting me over the head with a hammer, to be frank. What faction is he part of? Well its either going to be fire or lightning, i even messed around with an earth emblem there too.
Anyway, point is, I decided I was going to try something very energetic, with a lot of hard surfaces, quite the opposite from my usual soft-surface organic style
Also the Hot Pink is my Anchor point, the outfit is going to be at least 80% hot pink,
A lot of these are merely feeling sketches, so details are still extremely loose. Don't even look at that hammer :joy: , i've already got better plans for it anyway.

The one one the right with the baroque patterns looks very interesting as well as the one on the left with the lines, very interesting clash of cultures.

Ok when I say im going to do something, don't take my word, chances are Im not going to do that (sweats)
I was thinking about propane tanks at work, and then i guess that snowballed into whatever this is, Lets see where I go with this one :joy: I also might mash this design up with HotPink guy, somehow.

Maybe that's totally faulse what I'm saying but...kinda have a "The King of Fighters" feeling with the very first sihouette (from Pink guy).
Also like the one with the weapon (laser gun or something ?)

Can't wait to see your mixing stuffs :sunglasses:

I really love the pink designs with the high heels, honestly looks so amazing! O8 The second in from the right with the huge gun and black things down his legs are so nice, I rarely see designs like this for males and I think you should push it! Either way beautiful work and I'm excited for your final!

On another note, while your development is nice, I do think the larger piece you posted below that page is a little more boring (imo), a little bit more common
