Not gonna lie I read that as baby yoda, but this sounds super cool can't wait to see where you take it!
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!in48.4k
Hahaha Thank you!!!
I'm guessing you sketched those in pencil? Awesome to see someone working out their ideas with traditional media first.
I like the design in the center but I like the shoulder pads from the one on the left where she's on fire.
Yes, it's in pencil, I like to do my sketches with traditional media, it helps me think better and I have more fun doing it. Thank you for the feedback, I also liked the shoulder pads! Will continue to work on her design!
Which one do you like the most?
I'm thinking about adding more chainmail to her clothing and also I want the doll to be with her, as if in her belt, like in number one.
Thank you for the help!
Number one is my personal fav! These are looking great
The way you draw the flowing fabric is really nice. These feel like realistic, grounded clothing designs. I think for me the one on the left is the strongest. But I do like the boots on the one on the right a lot.
I liked all of them, pretty solid and grounded designs. I think it comes to what role she plays, the first with the square shapes giving a tankier look, and the others more slender and agile, specially the last one.
Thank you so much! Number one is really everyone's favorite! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for the feedback! I really did a lot of research, that helped me a lot to make the designs more grounded. I like the boots on number 3 (the one on the right) too!
Thank you for the feedback, it's very helpful! You are right, it really depends on the role she plays, I have a general idea but need to move on to more specific details. There are some elements in all the numbers that can contribute to her design, so in the final version I will put together the best ones...
Thinking about the designs for her shield and sword and finally stepping into some digital sketching. I feel like I need to tell a little more about her story so that her design makes more sense...
For those who don’t know, Vasilisa is a character from an old Russian tale. The tale is called "Vasilisa, the beautiful", and tells the story of a young girl who as mistreated by her stepmother and stepsister (just like Cinderella). One day, they planned on killing Vasilisa by putting out the fire of their fireplace and sending her to the forest to ask for fire from Baba Yaga, who was an evil witch hat most likely would kill her and eat her flesh. Meeting with Baba Yaga, she was told to do a series of house chores that seemed impossible. But Vasilisa had with her a doll given to her by her mother, a doll who gave her advice on how to overcome all the challenges Baba Yaga proposed to her. Therefore, after she completed all the tasks, she earned from the witch a stick with a skull on it, with fire inside to lit back her fireplace. She came back home and when she arrived, the skull burned her stepmother and stepsisters to death, setting the young girl free from torment. In some versions of this story, she marries a prince in the end.
In my redesign, Vasilisa came to Baba Yaga to ask for freedom of her life of servitude to her evil family, and after completing a few tasks, she received a magic sword with a skull on it that could project fire and burn enemies, so she could kill her evil stepnother and sisters, but in exchange had to promisse to serve Baba Yaga forever as a mercenary.
Vasilisa is a young female knight who doesn't care too much about marrying an enchanted prince, since she doesn't need any. Also, she is skilled in battle, but very fragile, using her armor and shield as a way to show that she can also be tough and merciless (hence the big shoulder pads). The doll is constantly there with her, always telling her what to do when she needs help.
Her shield was also given by Baba Yaga and has her face on it as a way to intimidate enemies. I tried different designs for the shield but definitely prefer it with Baba Yaga’s face on it.
The sword is a character of its own. It is intelligent and can use its power of ts own will, belonging to Vasilisa but not necessarily obeying her command.
I really recommend that any of you who didn't know Vasilisa's tale before to read it, it's really great and has a lot of other details that I didn't mention here. There are other stuff related to this character that I will reveal little by little in order not to bore any of you, but the summary is basically that...
Anyway, feel free to give any feedback, it's really helpful!
1 is a classic sword, but I'm also a big fan of 5 and 6. They all go really nicely with her design!
Woaw, Really cool story, I love these kind of character developement !
For the sword design I like the 1 which is really classic and well balance but I also love the way the 7 remind me fire !
For the shield, your left one is certainly the most impressive and it will surely bring fear upon the enemys and I love the shape as well !
Thank you, it's great to know that you liked the story! The shield and sword are really hard to work on, so the feedback is very helpful, thanks a lot!!
Doing some color tests for vasilisa, nothing too refined. I used such colors to remember fire, and I tried different colours for the veil and skirt, but liked it better red. Which one do you think is the best? I personally like number 3 the most...
Nice progress on the character! I am looking forward to see more.
