So this is the texture test, i still thinking in some parts that could be make it look better, but i think it's enough for continue with the sculpt (Screenshots from substance, not Iray).
BLOG May 17th, 2025 Werds I have had a work schedule change which has been nice and will have more time to draw and paint. I hope to get some more focused work towards projects - to see them get off of the ground. Looking at some old art of mine I wanted to redo them with some of the stuff I had recently learned.

Back with works from the month of May Some studies: I have finished "The Guiding Crystal" piece! I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing came out, thanks to things I've learned here! I'm currently trying to figure out something to make environment-wise that would be cool.I've been toying with this illustration, but I'm not convinced it's good enough. To remedy to that, I've been learning some blender to make some sense of it and to supplement my drawing process I'll make another post once I have something more substantial! 'til next timein279

Thanks @gregorya! Do you mean to say there is another way of getting a berry in one’s stomach (yeah it does look a bit odd) I’m discovering the wonders of still life and how much easier it feels to paint something that is not the thing your brain most easily finds issues with (human faces). So far very satisfying Also a marble guy I painted last week, I think he’s famous or somethingin26.2k
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?in26.2k
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 youin1.8k

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. 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 drawingin

the texture looks realistic
Thanks Nikita 
Wow, you are realy fast! Looks great! 
@he77ga Just a test haha, need to work a lot in the sculpt and design 
Searching the good pose 
Last update of this year, refining some parts of the design, happy new year everyone 
Acho is resinous! Great concept and progress. I want to see the next updates!
YEAH BABY!!! resina papa
update: working on arms and torso 
very cool man
I like the idea man! the bark cover and his gesture look very dynamic. Look forward!
@Sl_Ax Thanks!!
@NguyenKhoi thanks! trying to achieve the idea of "The fear of change", like the creature dont want to lose his old life (Tree barks and wood who protect him from exterior) and the sap is like the new body or something like that, and you know, kill his similars to steal the wood skin or whatever. hahah
I can't believe how nice it's looking. How did you get such AMAZING textures?!? They're really beautifully hyper-realistic. 
No have much time during the last days to invest on it....
this is so dope
thanks amiba!!
beautifull eyes!
@toge_geto not as much as yours
