Read the 2D submission requirements, all explained there 
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?in24.1k
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

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

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!in47.8k
This is super neat!
I've been procrastinating on getting involved with the Cubebrush forum, but this is a great place to start. Here's to everyone entering! May we all have the discipline and drive to follow through. =)
Quick Rules question: What are some of the specific guidelines on using concepts for 3D submissions? Can we use another artists complete concept? Just use others' works as reference/inspiration?
This is truly an ART WAR. You weren't kidding when you said it'd be nuts, @marc !
Super pumped. Looking forward to what you'll all come up with..!
I will be entering the 3D side for this contest and had a quick question for the final character. Can the Final 3D mesh be 3D print friendly? Meaning no UV or textures or does it have to aim more towards film and game models? Thanks for your time.
Kurt
Hey! Pulled up the specifications from the 3D description for you. You can present your model in whichever manner you prefer! As long as the judges are able to see your final character and the progress/concept behind it, you're good to go! Good luck.
-
Dimensions: at least 2048x2048 pixels - format of your choice
This is THE image to display your character in all its glory. The character has to be 100% 3D, but the background can be whatever you prefer.
Embedded Marmoset Viewer
Use our new Marmoset embedded viewer to show off your character - this will be used for judging. The .mview file has a 20mb size limit.
OR
Detail Sheet
Dimensions: 2048x2048 pixels
-If you are not uploading your model using the Marmoset viewer, include this sheet in your final submission. This should include both the front and back of your character in a T-pose as well as close-ups of interesting details and areas we can't see well with the Final Image alone. Squeeze everything you have into this one sheet.
So excited for this @marc !! I havent participated in a contest since Retrogasm last year 
Could you post a list of the judges names? I recognize most of you from the pictures, but there's a few I'm not familiar with.
Read the 3D Submission Requirements - You have to create your own, it's part of your submission
Read the 3D Submission Requirements should be all there - the UVs are not part of the final submission hence you can do whatever you want. Your final model has to have textures however, be posed and be in its environment (that last part can be 2D)
What a way to jumpstart the new forum site! This is going to be fun.
Team Fantasy!
This is indeed a great thing to end the year. Thanks to @marc and the team 
I want to take part in the 3D Art War but I'm not good with concepts can I use Blizzard's WOW character concept for my inspiration.
Good Luck to all the entries
Cheers! The sketch sheet is part of the submission just as much as the final image so it has to be yours!
Where is the link to apply?
This is an amassing opportunity for me and others artist that want to show his talent and creativity.
And thanks Mark for belive on us the new artist.
Greetings everyone, I have a question regarding 2D final illustration, not sure if any one has already asked this. it stated in the rules that :
" This is your final illustration depicting your champion in all its glory. You should not use any photos or 3D for this final image. Supporting characters/creatures are allowed."
I understand that the final piece need to be an illustration, what I wanted to know is, can I use 3D and photo textures during the production process, and paint over them, but the final piece will be an illustration.
Just wanted to be sure about this, thanks ~
Oh wow. This'll be a struggle for someone (me) who sees Sci-Fi and Fantasy as the same genre at different historical points in time... 
I look forward to it though. This sounds like fun so i plan on entering. Now to brainstorm.
Awesome contest for the end of the year , it's like a christmas gift before the date ! thanks to the cubebrush team.
My question is : If i want to participate to both challenges (2D & 3D), do I have to make two separate concepts ? Or can i develop only one from the beginning to the end in 2D then in 3D ?
This will be a stunning Contest. Thank you @marc for the awesome Community opportunity.
dose this mean we can enter both 2d and 3d categories or just 1 total??
I believed this question is already anwsered on the thread. (if I am correct) you can enter once in 2D and once in 3D thats it.
