@dramilion Thanks! It's an original design, just in the style of Anthony Jones haha. I just got his book. 😇
Ended up working on it a little more. Now to stop being lazy and draw the hands 
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
I really like the last one and it's already looking great, but I've got a suggestion what you could maybe try to do, to make it even better. I would try to work more on the silhouette from his belt down to the bottom of the picure, because now it's a little bit radial symmetrical (kinda remind me of church bell silhouette) - break it a little bit here and there plus I would pump drapery a little to make it pop just a bit more. But as I said earlier, it's already looking great and you have nice values in this piece. Keep rockin'
hmmm, I think the design can be improved if you repeat certain patterns instead of always coming with "something new". What I mean is that, for example you have a really strong kind of helmet design, but it won't be as effective if you just stop in the head, for a better design you want to repeat patterns in your drawing, so, your helmet is a pretty good choice if you want to keep that strong design more than just in the face. And what I mean for "something new" is that I see at least four elements that visually represent your character.
1st. The mask or the helmet thingy.
2nd. The cloak.
3rd. The armguards, neck thing and possibly the belt? (I think they match)
4th. That thing below the belt.
So what you want to do here is develop each design element so you can "spread" it in the character, and therefore having a better and effective design that doesn't look like a mix of random design elements. (I'm not saying it is but if you keep adding elements to the drawing without having that in mind, then it will suddenly become a frankenstein design very hard to look at)
Here you can see I'm using the helmet design for his shoulder thing, and I suck at painting metal so I left it there. But you can keep developing those design elements in a much more better and creative way than what I did, that was just a cheap example. Also, the messy purple line is where you could place stuff, is just a "blank space", and you could use that part in your advantage.
I painted a few things too so you can see that you need a bit more of contrast, specially in the torax and arms. That's all I could help with ^^

@slashy Thank you for the crit!! I really appreciate it! Good thoughts!
@dramilion THANK YOU! Thanks for taking the time to upload your crit. I really appreciate it!
And here is a shit drawing that people at work seem to like...
No need to call your drawings for bad things! Think of those who look up to you 
Either way, great work. You're quite enthusiastic and it is nice to see someone as active as you in the forums! Keep up!
@achronic Thanks! I'm trying to be active in drawing and posting. 
Here is a lunch sketch from today. And the first stages of trying to finish this lion dude!
No clue what I'm doing, but it will be an adventure!
some of your studies and poses feel a bit stiff to me so keep going with gesture drawings!! nice character sketches though, i like them 
Wow, your sketches look great! I really want to see more recent finished stuff like on your artstation lol
everything is looking dope dude keep up the good work! on that cannibal guy if you go back to it, i reckon having him sort of squatting/pumping up for battle would look cool
I dig your characters!
@Paulo Thanks man. Yeah, more gestures are needed! My work has always been a little stiff haha
@jfan You found my art station? Danger! haha. I don't like the work up there very much. I'm trying to make more finished stuff though! So stay tuned I guess, haha.
@jlcseiles Thanks man! Yeah I'm hoping to flesh that guy out a little more, so I'll mess with some poses! Pretty much everyone says the current one is no good haha.
@ragamuffin Thank you!
Here is a sketch from yesterday I started painting on. I guess I could try and take this to "final". Hopefully won't take too long.
Hey I like what I'm seeing here! been a while since I looked! I had some busy weeks.. Keep posting!
Your work is stunning, especially your delicate pencil work. Mine always looks so messy! I really enjoyed looking through your art blog
@hantor Thanks man! I will!
@dramilion You're too kind haha! Thanks!
@JennifElizab Thanks! Most the sketches are digital actually. I just made a brush the looks like pencil hehe.
Here is todays doodles. Nothing from the weekend, since I was on a small vacation
Progress over lunch. I think I want to give him a few outfits once the base anatomy is done.
More lunch sketches!
I really like your chars!, they're full of character!, that's not to easy to achieve imo. awesome stuff!
