  • 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!

@dangras-almeida To be honest it was not my first time doing it, i've tried doing measurements some time ago in a more traditional drawing course, but nothing as complex, i've made mostly cups and some vegetables hahaha.

I've been doing gesture drawings every day, i feel that i don't really know what i'm doing, but i'm hoping to get better!

26-9-21.jpg3840x2160 308 KB

I've worked some more with perspective, tried a bunch of things and failed a bunch of times! It's really hard to draw buildings and props, but i will keep trying it! Environment art is really cool to see and is definitily something that i want to be good at. :smile: :smile:

Perspective_2p.jpg5760x2160 700 KB



I'm gonna step up to term 2 now! There is so many things that i wish to learn!!! :smile: :smile:

Sep '21

for gesture, you're trying to capture the energy of the pose while focusing loosely on proportions when you start adding mass the body parts but yours look great and they capture the poses well. also nice house in perspective. :smile:

Sep '21

Thanks Kosmonaut!

I've been working on term 2 photoshop assignments, decided to inspire the logo on a tabletop rpg i've been thinking of running with my friends! :laughing: :laughing:
I was thinking of putting some stars and stuff, but decided to keep it simple.

I've made the little monster too! A good and old LV 1 slime! :smiley:

Let's gooo!

EDIT: Should i upload images with lower sizes? I've tried to edit the html code that appears to make them smaller, but it did not work... :sweat:

Sep '21

Nice logo and monster! I like the colors on the logo and the logo itself looks clean. :smile:

Oct '21

Hi!
I have been practicing every day at least a little, i have been doing gesture drawings and trying to pratice perspective some more... there's nothing really worth showing about that tho, haha.

I did the term 2 Line Weight and Shading assignments.
The color blending has been a kinda daunting for me, gonna show it when i get at least a more or less decent result hahaha. :persevere:

I also did a sketch for the Vivi fanart event, i'm not finishing it for now, but i decided to post it here since people seems to like it :smile: ! I'm planning to revisit it later!

vivi21.jpg2160x3840 279 KB


Let's gooo!

Oct '21

  • for the shading assignment, it looks like you either didn't blend the values enough or used the airbrush to try to get a more blended result.

  • You also may want to make the background color different from white since some of your white value is lost on the canvas, or you can use lines to indicate where the forms stop. The white values also depending on your light source's intensity and distance, if there is an almost pure white as your lighting color then I would think it would spread a lot farther and you would have fewer mid-tones and shadows

  • I may be wrong about the light sources but from the arrow I assume is coming from the side. like for the one on the far upper right the light source looks like its coming straight from the right but it may be coming from behind it making the lighting make more sense if so disregard the last part of the previous point. great practice overall though love your Vivi sketch. :smile:

Oct '21

Thank you for the advices @Kosmonaut, it was very helpful!
I was doing the assignment with a bug that was messing up my brush, i think this is why it looks like i used an airbrush. :cry:



I didn't understant that this was the problem, and became very frustated because i couldn't do the proper blending haha. One very kind person showed me how to solve it in discord and now i'm back to full action! :smile:
I tried again with the advices you gave me in mind. I'm still having a little dificult with blending using the Smudge tool, i feel that i'm ending up losing much of the gradient previosly made, then i try to use it less and the result is not smooth...



I'm wanting to try to do the same with a soft brush to compare the results.

Oct '21

I did the same using soft brushes, it was much faster... but i feel that the hard brush make the aesthetic more interesting... For now i think i need to get better at blending and making the edges... i don't know how to make them look good :persevere:

Oct '21

That's fine then, your forms look a lot better, and glad that the issue was resolved I remember that happening in the discord but I didn't make the connection to your name though lol. Me personally I like the hard brush and blend approach when I blend colors as well. I only use a soft brush if I want to go for a specific effect though, but I like the hard brush effect better since you have defined edges, and like you said it gives that certain look, whereas the airbrush looks worse in comparison imo. Keep up the good practice! :smile:

Oct '21

I've finished the photoshop assignments, i think that i could spend some more time with shading and blending colors, but i really want to start doing the cool stuff and i'm satisfied for now, so i will move on to Anatomy 1 and worry about it when the problems arrive hehehe.
Color Blending Assignment:


My custom chain brush:

:sunglasses:

Oct '21

I've done some shapes for the start of the Anatomy class and watched some of the classes. Tomorrow i'm gonna draw some more and hopefully start making faces!

Oct '21

that's some good form practice the only thing I would like to point out is that the sphere you have in the top right would have that square connection also be slightly curved because it's a sphere so it follows the form unless shown that there is a flat side. overall though good practice :smile:

Oct '21

Thanks @Kosmonaut! You're right and i think today i made the same mistake hahaha! I'm gonna try to give more attention to this in the future!
I ended up making some more shapes and made some shading. I've no idea what i'm doing and i feel that i don't have a good understanding of how light works, but it i did my best today!

Oct '21

it's just a small thing so no big deal, also if I may point out something else it looks like you are doing some interactive shading but I'd play with more than three values though so that you can get a sense of where the darkest shadow is and how far away objects have a lighter or darker grey color depending on the light source you use. The darker greys could be used to differentiate value-wise from the shading color of the other form shadows if that makes sense. If it doesn't let me know I'm tired so I hope it makes sense. :smile:

Oct '21

I understand @Kosmonaut, i will keep that in mind, thank you very much :smile:!
I've been practicing some more of 1 and 2 point perspective in the last days, i have the bad habit of scraping things out when they don't go very good, so i don't have anything about it to show, but i will try to finish them from now on. I think i got better at it, at least i don't get confused with the many lines anymore, for me it counts as a victory! hahaha :smile:
I did some more shapes with the subdivisions this time!

Oct '21

Today i've practiced doing the head spheres for the Anatomy 1 class! I feel much more confortable doing so now! I'm trying to get a lighter line too. :smile:

Oct '21

These are some nice faces like you said some of them are too wide while others are too narrow. I also think the nose area would pop out further than you have in some of these as well blocking more of the eye area. overall nice heads though. :smile:

also for extreme angles if you see yourself drawing those a lot then continue practicing those but if not I would stick to the more tame face angles so that you are really good at those and use ref for the more extreme angles

Thank you for the nice comments!

Today was a slow day and i didn't produce much, but i wanted to share something that made me really happy, i feel that i have overcome a obstacle that has been a struggle for such a long time.

I was feeling demotivated while trying to structure the heads and decided to see how it would change the way i usually draw.

It may look silly, but today was the first time that i ever felt real joy while painting. For such a long time i hated doing it, and because of that, i focused too much on doing just line art, because of that my pieces would never be trully finished, and i would not give everything i have.

sketch.jpg3840x2160 449 KB

The painting is far from being good and the page is a mess because i wasn't planning on posting it or anything, but i want to keep this as a register to myself.
I hope that this is a starting point, and from now on i can trully give my 100%. :triumph:
