Looks very neat and Blizzard-ish, nice!
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?in24.4k
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 youin1.5k

Hello! My name is Vithor, I am from Brazil, studied Design at a local college worked as an illustrator for more than 10 years. I took a time off around 3 years ago and am trying to get back in my art shape and maybe become professional again.

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!in48.8k
Damn those look awesome! You should add a few breakdown images for the assets, would love to see more!
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
@Marc, good idea I will implement this for my next piece. Problem is I collapse all my layers in 3D-Coat, so It is hard to screenshot the different stages I go through on completed pieces.
What I can do is write down what I generally do.
1 - I start out by rendering out a basic AO as a guideline (I tend to paint my AO manually but it is good to have a general idea of what it should/could look like). In 3D-coat you can do this easily by going to Texture - Render AO. The settings I tend to go for are approx 100 lights and smoothing steps of 10-15.
2 - I lay out the base colors. I tend to go for the darkest tone possible. It is easier to go toward lighter colors than it is from light to dark.
3 - I start painting in a second set of colors like the highlight at the centre of the wood on the shield. In this stage I also place guidelines for where I want my details to be.
For example the areas between planks.
4 - At this point I want to see some lighting information on my texture. I start by adding a lighter and sometimes less saturated color to the parts I want some highlights on.
At the same time I also look at my piece and think of adding a certain gradient from top to bottom.
5 - Once I have the basic look ready I add several layers for the extremer highlights. This is sometimes set to screen and sometimes set to color dodge.
6 - Once Im happy with the highlights I start to work on adding more interesting colors to darker areas and work on bouncelights. At the same time I also look for adding small details that might help sell the material definition.
7 - Fix up stages, gathering of feedback and implementing this.
With all my pieces I tend to redo things entirely if I hate how it looks. That is a tip I can give everyone out there. Never get too attached to your work. It will only limit you and it will also frustrate you.
Just dropping a comment on how much I love your stuff and I already followed you on Sketchfab before finding you here :3 Keep it up!
Thanks Enalya! I seem to be everywhere

Hello all,
I have started working on something new based on concept art a friend of mine did.
It is still at the base of the texturing work and as @marc requested I will add a small breakdown of my process.
Here are the first few images of that breakdown. I will add the other stages once I have more.
Woah, it is really awesome of you to show these steps! great models!
Thanks Achronic! I hope the texturing process works out:) Usually it involves going all over the place and lots of trial and error:)
I've been able to work on this some more. Here are two more steps.
The current detailing step is a huge jump in terms of looks between step 6 and 7. It was nearl impossible to screenshot all the stages I went through.
In this stage I usually go all over the place and never focus too much on one area.
Let me know your thoughts/crits.

Hello all,
Back with something new. Decided to go for a fan art of League of Legends. I used a concept I found online. Here is what I have so far. The crystal is still a work in progress.
Man, people on this forum don't appreciate 3D enough! You're amazing, I absolutely love your style. Keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks Achronic. What do you mean with appreciate 3D enough? I see quite a few people doing 3D right? Or are you referring to the amount of people responding to threads that have 3D?
The latter! Oh well.
There could be a bunch of reasons for this. One would be I never clearly asked for thoughts or feedback (which I should've done)
So with a bit of delay if you have any thoughts or feedback please let me know:)
Don't have too much feedback besides compliments. Your breakdown was really insightful for someone who is trying to get into painterly 3D like that!
I reaaally like your style, thanks for the breakdowns as well
I have some feedback for the backpack. I feel like some folds are not realistic or well placed, for example, the folds under the straps should be pushed down, not up. I'd expect more folds around the straps (because of the tightness).
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks Enalya, I think you mean the folds on the front of the pack beneath the straps?
You are welcome to highlight the areas.
Yes exactly:
(the red stripes I wouldn't expect, the blue ones I would)

Me again with some updates on the Nexus fanart.
Did some more work on the crystal and the flooring around the Nexus. It needs a lot of work still but I feel im getting there.
