I have a question. What is considered gore? I have skulls and blood. This is gore? or I have to delete they? Thank you very much 
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?in23.9k
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.

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!in46.9k
@Adrian_Pagador oh, yes, seems there is a bug in the messaging 
we'll fix it asap.
Edit: messages work again (:
@SergioHualde what you have right now seems ok, just don't make it too bloody. Make sure you could show your entry to your mother or an 8-year old kid without them freaking out 
haha okey, thank you very much. Only I want to put a little blood on the sword and in the front of head (he put it with the fingers) Only for color contrast

Does the model need to be high and low poly?
@petr_dostal Hi! this is not how you submit a work. You need to create a topic here and post it there.
Read the first post here for more info.
(If it's still unclear, you can write me a private message in czech if you want)
Thanks for help.
I have a question regarding the final image:
If I wanted to add some dirt on let´s say the character´s armor or skin (for the final image), would I be allowed to do so with Photoshop (post effect) or does it have to be literally "on" the 3D character itself (=texture/polypaint)?
Thanks!
@matteo that would have to be done with polypaint/textures.
And can the character be colorless in the detail sheet?
@matteo the detail sheet serves to show your model from all sides plus detail so that judges can properly see it whole - for that it needs color too.
@matteo but you can still upload it without colors along with a color version. It's always nice to see. It's always coool to see just the highpoly if that's what you wanna show off as well.
I have a few last minute questions.
1. What exactly is considered t-pose here? My character before i positioned him was in a neutral pose. Is that enough or do i have to raise his arms higher?
2. In our detail sheet, do we have to use the same lighting setup as in our final render?
3. The final render can be as big as we want? As long as it is at least bigger than 2048 on at least one side?
4. Do we have to include our mood board, concept art and so on in our final submission?
5. For some reason whenever i upload my pictures the whole thing gets compressed by about 30%. I am already uploading at 2560x3000 just to get close to the needed resolution and it still is not enough. I checked if maybe they are too big, but no they are not bigger than 10mb. Am i doing something wrong? How do i fix that? Uploading the details sheet at 2048x2048 will be a nightmare if i have to try and get the whole thing to compress it exactly down to 2048.
That would be all of my questions for now. Thanks in advance
@mrjar0
1. Yes, that would be preferable.
2. No need - just make sure everything you want us to see is visible (:
3. yes, but forum will size down images that are too big
4. no need, you can include your concept art, but you don't have to - seeing the model is more important. Mood board is work from other people so you can't include that anyway.
5. the file size should be much smaller - about 2.4 MB or so. You will need to save in a different format, compress a bit or make the image smaller.
Yes, I know it's not ideal, but the forum has to handle thousands of images so some limits had to be set.
Hope this helps
Does the 80%-visibility rule also apply for the final images of the 3D submissions?
Thanks!
One more last minute question from me.
In the rules it says that we can do whatever we want with the background.
The model and the floor are all done completely by me. The background image however as of right now is a free image from the internet. Am i allowed to use it, or will i have to go out and make the photograph for the background image all by myself?
Thanks again
You can keep the photo.
Hi moderator/s, please assist.
How can I make my latest post/update appear on the top my my thread/topic/entry?
@mahen42 edit your first post in the topic. It's the little pen icon on bottom right of the post (:
