  • 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!

Another week! After the OCtober challenge was done, I took a few days to recharge and relax a bit. But now it's time to start ramping up again.

No Artschool progress at the moment, though I intend to resume very soon. For now I wanted to do some progress on Nozomu since it's been a while and I feel I needed to do some progress on it. It's been relaxing coming back to it after more than a month.

3 new pages done for chapter 32, but I'll add the previous pages done as well since I had to remind myself where I left off with this chapter.








I'm trying to stick much closer to the 70% rule to keep moving at a more brisk pace.

1) Added a "film grain" effect to distinguish the memory sequence from the rest of the scene.
2) Also been trying to move focus from other elements to try to vary pages a bit more.
3) Bit of a spoiler but not so much? "Shadow" actually has several scars on his face, it's partially why he wears the cover, it's what you can see slightly over his face in some frames, though lately I was wondering if I should keep the scars on the lower portion of the face, similar to the last frame. It's part of his backstory, and will come into play later one. Will think about it a bit mroe.

Feedback always welcome!

Also haven't forgotten on sharing about the short story. Should be able to touch up on it these days and hopefully share it soonish. Trying to wrap up this chapter to upload an update to webtoon.

That's all for now, hope you all have a great week! cheers!

Nice work on the film grain effect. It helps with the flashback sequences. In manga, they just darken the panels.

That sounds good.

Yes. that sounds like a good idea especially if it's part of the backstory, and if it will come into play later on.

Nov '24

Oh, I should have worded that better. I will absolutely keep the scars on the lower covered half of the face, but not sure if I'll keep them on the upper part of the face, mainly between the eyes and forehead. I think I will, since I've been adding them so far, no reason to change it. So I'll add them to this page.

This is so so good! As for the scars on the face i think its a nice touch and adds curiosity to the character but then you think he'd try to cover more of his face with a face covering.

Nov '24

Thank you! Yes, that's what I was thinking as well! At one point I just covered most of his face in bandages except for one eye, but it was getting quite cumbersome and hard to drive expressions (not that he has shown much yet).
The worst part is definetly on the lower part of the face, so I guess it makes sense he covers that. I think I'll add them back again for these frames and keep them moving forward.

Bit of a spoiler, granted, he eventually recovers from them, but there's a long way to go before that happens.

Nov '24

ooh lookin great! :smiley: glad to see you working on Nozomu again :smiley:

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Been a bit slower since I've been a bit busy with work, though we are staying fairly active in Discord and we continue grinding as usual!

Term 4

Did a few exercices and doodles out of Term 4 for practice

Tried a different approach for these next gestures. Tried to imitate a fellow artist, by skipping construction and focusing on outline and lines. It was interesting, since you have to "imagine" the constrcution. I did enjoy it, and feel like an exam of what I've learned so far. Will probably try to do more of it.

And more env practice!

And also resumed the term exercices. Next is deformation/exaggeration of the body. Only did a few, but at least we’re starting to move along the art course again!

Wow putting it all together like this makes me realize I actually did more practice than I thought.

Manga

A couple more pages! Would be nice to wrap up this arc before end of year, but we’ll see how it goes.

1) Trying to show a more menacing side of Seki. Shadow is starting to overstep, and he’s not having it.
2) Captain Kraken arc is going to be quite… complicated, but we’ll get to it next year.
3) Pages are fairly simple in structure and content, it’s all about allowing the reader to get in the middle of these two, and feel the tension brewing. For whatever reason I do enjoy making these face close ups.

3 more pages left! Also got a treat that goes along with the end of this arc, hopefully we finally share it by next weekend.

Hope you all have a great week! Cheers!

Oooh these look amazing! Lighting in manga is great, I love the last panel

Nice work on studies!

Dec '24

Oh, okay, I understand now.

I like the portraits of your characters. The shading is nice as well. The screaming expression and the angle of the man look great
The gestures are pretty good, the poses look pretty accurate, and the studies of the environment are pretty good.
The male's deformation exercises suggest he could be an MMA fighter, and the woman's looks suggest she could be that tall female Yokai, Takaonna. Nice work.

Thanks @mitsuki-youko @patrycja.lerch @gregorya!!!

Still busy, but we still going at it!

Term 4

Just a couple more exercices. I think I’ll stop with body modification here, might as well start the last piece to wrap up term 4.

Also bonus doodle! Someone gone and pissed of Seki!

Manga

A couple more pages! Just one more page to go, then cover, some editing and we’re finally done with this chapter. Took forever due to the October event.

1) Seki trying to seem intimidating. Shadow doesn’t seem all that surprised. Some unspoken stuff going on here.

2) Shadow’s final parting words are meant to confirm he was indeed the one to help Seki, for as of yet unknown reasons. It’s ambiguous enough that it could just be him underestimating Seki, but given the context the reader has, it’s bound to mean something more. Why is Seki “stupid”? Just him being condescending? Or is it because Seki is playing according to his plans? Or because Seki is chewing more than he can handle?

3) Seki on the other hand, might not be the brightest character around, but he does seem to understand more than is being said. The fact he just let’s Shadow leave implies a certain degree of respect, perhaps out of being grateful, but letting go a potential menace could be stupid to some people. As I mentioned, there’s a bit more going on that will hopefully be communicated by their attitudes more so than what they are saying.

That’s it for now! Getting into the holidays, and decided to participate in yet another event. Only two pieces to do though, but considerably more complex than previous ones. Will probably post them until after the holidays.

Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great week! Cheers!
