  • 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

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

  • 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!

Hey guys thanks for the support, grazie !
Tbh I'm super noob about forum, there is a way to see if anyone have a thread in the contest ?? or a search by name in the AW4 section ??

Another stupid question, we can see an image or preview of a thread ?? just to have a visual preview of the things inside the thread, there are a lot of entry and would be awesome !

@Sergei_Pakhomov thanks man !! You said the right word, I want to do something powerful and brutal as hell :imp:

@malcom @JoseTijerin hahahaha yeah demon & fire are always best friend, I'll try to do something a bit different from usual but in theme, hope to continue in the right direction !

malcomModerator

If someone wanted to search by name they would click the search button right next to the "New Topic" Button
As for the second question, you can not see previews. You have to click and open the thread manually.
Don't worry about being a noob. That's why the mods and other helpful members are here for.

Jan '20

Update update !
It's time for some refine on the silhouette, adjustment in proportion and general scale, and a superipermega rough blocking for the principal pieces of armor, still in decision but I think I'll do with chest without armor to show the fire nature on his skin :sunglasses:

I'm not sure about the tail, but i think it adds a bit more balance and I can create something interesting with a tail ...

The things behind the back will be like those of the first reference ^^

ok I think it's all for now, next step refine on the organic stuff, retopo for a good first division on the armor plates ( and maybe to use as a retopology ) but first, it's time to move to the giant badass shield :imp:

And for sure, any feedback is suuuuper welcome,
Thanks !

Jan '20

Hey guys,
it's time for some shy little props, something you probably won't notice, the little shield :smiley:

I have to go faster because the time is short so I did directly all the steps for this piece, missing only the detail ( that I'll do for all the model at the same time to keep consistency and uniformity ).

For now it was the funniest piece to sculpt, I love these extreme shapes, hope you like too !

I'm moving to refine the rest of the body and hard surface and start adding some small pieces ( like ring, chain etc ), have some great things in mind :imp:

Thanks !

Jan '20

Oh yeah! this is starting to look really nice!

Jan '20

Hey guys big update here !

All the pieces start to looks in the right place, I added the weapon, retopo each piece of armor and give a nice border, redone the horns and refined everything.

I'm quite satisfied with the general aspect, now it's time to BREAK the simmetry ( yeah ! ) and go to detail and to the destruction of metals ( in full darksiders style :smiley: )

And this is the idea for the texturing mood

My intention is to do a full mid-poly retopology ( 30-50k tris ) will be quite long but it's what I have to do for a portfolio pieces for game, and a good topology is a part of good model, so the time is super tight but I'm happy to work on this bad guy !

@itseffindan thanks man, glad you like him, looking forward to see moar updato on you badass girl !

@juan Yeah thanks, I'll try to continue in the right direction :smiling_imp:

Jan '20

Character is looking pretty good so far! The horn shape is nice.

One thing to note is that the shield design very closely resembles this piece of concept art from Darksiders Genesis... I would suggest that you take it in another direction to maintain originality in your project.

Jan '20

Hey @baderkadunk thanks, glad you like the hornz, I did maaaaaaaany test thinking how to continue after the basic blockout, and at the end I decide for this one :smiley:

Same for each piece and the shield, I did a lot of research and saw thousands of images, taking heavy inspiration from each darksiders book and concept art, and combining everything I loved !!
Unfortunately ( or fortunately for who wants a tons of refs ) there are skulls of all kinds in every shape and pose, even if I put the horns on the head it would be very close to another, if I cut them off it would be similar to another one... it's a skull shield with horns :sweat_smile:

I will definitely try to make it more different, removing the symmetry or removing / adding elements, thanks for the feedback man !

This is a pretty badass character! Very menacing looking.

Jan '20

oooooooooh c'mon guys, I didn't expect all this love :flushed:

@cedricgo Thanks, hope will be " worse " at every step !
@coolnexart yeah man, you hit the right strings, the two things that inspired me most are those :imp:
@Marie_Smrcka hahahaha, who doesn't love a bad & big demon ??

I want to post a " little " update, little but important, following the feedback received I change the design of the shield, I needed to do a step back... but now I'm super happy with the result, and I'm moving to detail.
Just want to show you the new design :

in the meantime I started retopology, wanting to make a realtime character for games I will have very strict limits, will be looooong and hard but I really think that a good tolopogy makes the difference... my face while I repeat this to myself :sweat_smile:

Thanks guys, your support helps me keep going !!

Jan '20

Good job, man! Try ZRemesher and than clean it out, it could speed up your work a lot!

Jan '20

heeeeeeeeeeeeey guys, I'm not dead, I'm just blocked in the retopo/detail stuff, but I'm finished and now I have just to tweak some stuff on the props and then I'll be ready for bake/textures !!

So... I'm happy to show the final sculpt

DemonWip12.jpg3802x1768 1.72 MB

I also thought about the fire symbol, made it an alpha and used it as a scar ( which will be on fire in textures ) on the shoulder !

following my plans tomorrow I'll finish the low / UV, and then the rest of the time textures !

@Erigo Hey man thanks !! I'm from old school, I don't think a GOOD topology for game should be done with the zremesher, mainly if it's for portfolio and you want to show it :smiley:

Soon moar updates !!

Jan '20

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand lowpoly + bake, DONE !!

keep the polycount quite low, less than 30k for the char ( I don't rly need more ) and two 2k textures for the bake :smiley:

I tried to upload also a little little video but nothings, there is a restriction for video ? it's a .mp4 around 5mb !

Anyway, finally it's time for the textures :imp:
