  • 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

  • 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!

So I did the Mech Design

The Idea Was an Observation Mech for other planets with some weapons to defend against Alien creatures.

It is a bit messed up but I just make it worse somehow while keep going. I think It is my lack of knowledge of how to handle the lights.
I also skipped the 3d Stuff for now because my Zbrush trail is over and I would have to learn a new program but I do not have much motivation to work on 3d for now. Maybe I will come back to this point later.

Here is the Day and night assignment of the color and light class

Light Landscape.jpg5760x3240 868 KB

Night Landscape.jpg5760x3240 678 KB

The Landscape was a bit sketchy. Also, it was a bit difficult to apply the theory to something that is not static like the example in the video. But I think my color and light skills will get better with practice on different peaces while keep the theory in mind

Aug '20

There is the composition assignment. This one is made verry verry quick and rough. I took the first thing that was in my mind by looking on the principles and put it out in a few seconds each.
To get the real experience in composition I should practice the principles on actual images while keeping the theory in mind

Here is the first step of the personal project class: the name of the world

The plan is to revisit an old Idea of a fantasy story I imagined some years ago and give it live.

next I will create a little map of my world and after that I will do some pages with some characters from the different nations

Sep '20

Here a little WIP

Dirakan Map WIP.jpg7680x4320 2.32 MB

I now have all the greater landmarks set. Now I will render the map out to a certain level. I aim for a Style like the World Maps from Ice and Fire. After that I will do a sheet for each of the nation, Including 3 Characters each to get a Feel of the Culture there.
For the Map I had a little pre-version but for the most of the following stuff I just have some rough ideas I want to do

Maybe I set the bar a bit to high for this but I always wanted to create more out of this World and I think why not now ^^

Finally Done!

It took a little other turn than I wanted first. But it looks well I think. I like the softer and more saturated touch on it.
sure I could work it out more some hours but I think that would be too much work for just slight changes.
I also participate on Inktober right now so the "real" personal project class project will be a bit slower ^^

Oct '20

excellent work, looks like it was ripped from the pages of Wheel of Time or Dragon Lance :+1:

So I finished the designs for the first faction out of 13. So it will take a while to finish all ^^

Faction Sheet Gondorien WIP1.jpg3608x1760 2.59 MB

First I wanted to create a full rendered character painting for each but this would be a bit to much. So my plan now is just to add base colors and a simple shading/lighting after the drawing like these here. But it will still take some time I think ^^

Hey Gondo, looks great! What an effort!
One thing though, for me the right arm (left for us) of the scholar looks quite unrelaxed. If he does have a really flexible shoulder, never mind :smile:

Oct '20

Thank you ^^

yes, I need to work more on my anatomy :smiley:

Oct '20

Hi gondo, first good progress keep it up !!
I think u should work more on your 3d "understanding". U want to hack your brain for visualize everything u draw in 3d before drawing it. It's the first assignement of Marc and a very important one. Drew box / cylinder / cone in every perespective possible, intersect them / try to shade them in multiple angle. Those basics form are our building blocks. With this blocks we can build everything. Before trying to figure out what's the anatomy figure out what are the primary building blocks and the proportion between them.
I hope it will help you.
Keep it up we are all strugling hard ! ^^

Oct '20

Thanks for the feedback ^^ and yes it is true. Also, I think it is a big problem of mine to motivate myself for just practicing single things. But I try to work on it.
I think I am not the only one who feels that way ^^

Finally, I could work further on the project. This time I used gradient maps for the color. I am not as happy with the result as at the first one, so I will keep the old workflow for colors.
Also, I still struggle a bit with 3d vision which you can see especially at the lower arms.

btw if you're interested in wip´s or process steps you can see it on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gondoarts/

This is the Faction sheet for the Jagian nation. They are forest people which once did belong to Duralun. They split themselves over time and the Jagians follow the path of nature there are 10 more Faction sheets to do.

I tried this time to not use too much light. But I think in future I will use more

I am back!

I needed some time for other stuff because "always" doing the same felt not so good over time. But I think I will start to work on this project more regularly, although the pace will be a bit slower than usual, so I can have more fun in the process ^^

I will also try to use different workflows for this project to find a better one for me.

Is this back to the future font?
Those works look perfect. You are very talented, guys!
What apps or devices do you use to paint?
I would appreciate you sharing this information with me. You are very talented here. It will be nice if I can get some starting tips from you guys.
I've always dreamed about making some characters, but I guess I don't have a good painting technique yet. Maybe it's about practice, maybe about talent, maybe about having a good painting teacher. I don't know, what o you think?
