thats a super unique idea! oh man theres so many ways to run with that, super excited to see where you take it! i can imagine it in LoL or DotA2, so cool!
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
@bevanhewett Cheers! It will be nice to try something a little different. Just been looking through some of the LoL artwork and its all incredible. Not familiar with the games but i liked the art for Pantheon, Ornn and Jhin.
Some of the sketch's i did as i was away, taking some of the ideas to develop a full design.
-No Hair, as it's been burn off in the past.
-Wears some kind of googles and/or head dress.
-Cooking, is equipped with cooking utensils.
-Mount? Something to help carry his cooking equipment something large and maybe some kind of build in cauldron. Maybe a giant Tortoise.
I like the first one myself, the expression and feathers make him look surprised, or as if he's just eaten something particularly spicy. Is it a flame beard, or hair that looks like fire?
Very cool designs 
To match your background story - his love for cooking - I would go with the first one. He looks like cook 
.
@moirae They are flames and I think its a fun idea that a flame beard would burst out when he eats spicy food.
@jonatan-moonchild Thanks, I like the first one as well along with 2 and 6 but I agree a little more work in making him look like a cook is needed.
Really nice concept he needs a Paul Bocuse vibe. 
The fur can be vegetal, like those straw jacket (mino).
@innocent Like the mino idea especially as in a battle that would be the first thing to be set on fire haha.
Played a bit with the idea in this next set, also added chef aprons into the design. The clothing is mildly influenced by Mexican wrestling costumes and ridding apparel. Leaning towards 'A' myself but open to critique and ideas from all.
Added a bit more to the design to make him feel a bit more like a champion, thought the designs above were a bit too simple.
-Added a bit of a belly as well to help his character relate to someone who enjoys cooking and eating.
-Gave him some more cooking utensils on his belt.
-still not set on colours yet but I guess as he is a fire champions I should be looking at the warmer colours but i do like the blue above.
Updated design with some additional colours, I like the look of the blue as it compliments the orange and warmth of the fire he creates.
Some comps for the illustration, I've sketched some of these out in more detail and I really like the idea of him riding a tortoise. Going off my sketches though i prefer the bull one and i think it works with his theme a little better.
Open to suggestions.
+Adding some of the sketches I've been doing that are more in depth versions of above.
I've gone with the bull. Need to fix the arms and maybe the scale but I like where its going.
I really love the cow and its details
Granted Hes not looking very Fire like at the moment but the idea is that the brush around him will be starting to burn around him. I thought he would be travelling through enemy territory to take ingredients he wants and have figure in the back ground trying to deal with the fire before it takes off to strongly.
Looking good, I like the environment too. Doesn't look like he's specifically defending or attacking though, and be careful with the colours - I thought at first the guy was the entire cow too as they blend right into each other
