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?in24.3k
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 youin1.4k

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!in48.3k
The design of the clothes looks amazing
that sycthe looks amazing and really cool membraine-y looking-wing-style! haha
I like where this is going!! Great work so far! 
Thanks for the love!
This design is not quite done yet. It's got a lot of issues im figuring out right now.
a list of issues i've discovered.
- Design is needlessly complicated.
- Contrast issues and unharmonios colors.
- Scythes and slicing motions don't fit the quick and piercing lightning element.
- Harpies and Witches don't go together with lightning well
- Draping cloth is ugly
- I wanna see her hair
Hey this is a really cool design !
I agree with most of your points (I don't know about the air and I love drapping sooo).
But I really love the scythe design, so if you want to change it you can turn it into a spear or a bow ? Also the way your mantle interact with the wing isn't really clear I guess ?
Anyway this is really a really cool concept and I'll be looking forward to see how it turn
Hmm, what would Electrokinetics wear? Definetly something with metals. Leather maybe? for heat resistance and such. A sleek, slightly drapery look with metal accents.
That's pretty nice, I liked the previous version better, but keep pushing get those ideas out of your head, you'll see it clearer afterwards!
I think i've got it!
....maybe.
She is a pilot for a flying exoskeleton using a railgun to shoot thunder. Thunderbird.
A few thematic problems have been solved.
-Removed witch
-Removed harpy
-Hair is visible
-Weapon is congruent with the lightning element
Your last idea work very well too.
It's nice that you don't hesitate to completely change the design if you don't feel it !
Looking forward to seeing the development of the new design
At sea.
Kate is holding a bottle of coke in her hand, leaning over the rail in the backside a yacht.
She is lost staring at the foamy ripples emerging from it.
Her purple dress flappping in the wind a little too much for her liking.
Rick walks onto deck, with a paranoid look on his face.
He walks to Kate in hasty footsteps clacking the wood floor panels.
She turns around to face him.
She observes his face.
K. concerned?
R. We're halfway through. Still nothing?
She shakes her head.
R. If it's taking them this long...i swear they must be up to something.
K. Relax, we've got you covered.
R. Covered?
He leans closer. Cold sweat running down his face.
R. You have... how many was it again?
2 MEN!
And where the fuck are they? dead already?
She pushes him away.
K. They're not dead, they're looking out for your sorry ass. Besides they don't do combat.
R. You have to be fucking with me. What the fuck are they doing then?
K. Support.
He looks around and wipes the sweat of his fucking face, trying not to burst.
R. Support?
K. Yeah....SUPPORT.
Radio hanging off Kates waistbelt beeps.
rad. Kate, come in.
K. yeah?
rad. 3 enemies approaching from 3 o'clock. Estimated speeds around 90 km/h
R. It's them?
K. Probably.
She gets off the rail and walks towards a module planted on deck with a label "Thunderbird" She opens it up revealing assebly parts, arranged for mount.
And starts taking her dress off, hesitates and looks back at Rick as he stands there watching.
K. It's gonna cost you extra if youre gonna keep standing there.
He raises his hands and goes inside.
She undresses and mounts the assembly wich starts dressing her with the EXO.
rad. Kate, come in.
K. Kate.
rad. Object below the watersurface spotted. Moving rapidly
Kate's brows tighten.
K. Torpedo?
rad. Positive. Approaching from 2.07, Z. -40m
Rick comes rushing out.
R. Torpedo???
K. Yes sir.
R. Can you stop it?
K. Negative. Torpedos travel underwater.
R. You have to get me off this boat then.
She looks him in the eye.
K. Negative.
He is stricken with shock and anger.
rad. Incoming. Enemy A breaking Range barrier in 30
K. Charlie, report enemy position on entry.
She faces Rick.
K. Now you listen to me sir, this is what we call a triple bind.
If you stay in this boat and i go to disable the torpedo, they will approach and kill you.
If i go and try fighting them off, torpedo blows this boat up with you in it.
If i try carry you and fly off they will catch up and kill us. Why? because i don't have the means to protect you from a 600 km/h flightspeed. Wich is the only way we would escape to back where we came from. And if we actually did that, do you know what's waiting for us on the beach?
R. What do we do then?
rad. Enemy entering range in 14.
Kate loads her railgun with a rod.
R. you might wanna step back from this one.
rad. entry in....

BOOM! Rod fired.
...
rad. enemy A down. Enemies closing in on subject, 40 kilometers. Torpedo, 35 kilometers.
R. i know. Get me off, throw me in the water, umm away from the blast.
K. It's a torpedo, the sub-surface shockwave will kill you.
Rick sways in silent panic.
rad. Ready for round 2?
K. Loaded and ready. Flight data please.
BOOM! rod fired.
...
rad. 2 enemies still approaching.
K. Fuck.
rad. inbound 15 kilometers.
R. Call down one of your friends.
K. No.
R. I'm paying you $700 000 to keep me alive. Bring down one of your friends. And he can fly me to shore while you stall them.
K. No, that's not an option. I won't risk their safety. it's in their contract. Deal with it.
R. If i don't survive, you don't get paid.
K. Then have some faith in us, or pay more.
Rick is visibly irritated, to the amusement of kate.
R. So what are we doing now?
Kate turns on her boosters.
K. Chill the fuck out, don't you know who i am?
Im the fucking Thunderbird.
The development this character is going through is pretty crazy. I did like the original design but I agree with many of your points in that it didn't really fit the lightning theme of the character. I think the mech suit kinda thing definitely does, and I think you could really play with the exaggeration in the size of those fins and boosters too. But either way it's been enjoyable thus far seeing where the character has come from and where they're ending up. Excited for more!
