  • 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!

I've posted the same content in the Art School page and hope to do the same here. So without further ado...

Hey everyone I've considered to post my artwork regularly on other websites, but didn't do so because those communities weren't the right fit for me. But I'm all for posting artwork here with other students to help encourage one another and use it for us to grow collectively as artists. I've signed up for the Art School course recently and started watching and also been using a figure drawing book to learn anatomy.

While I'm doing all of that art learning I've been making games of my own. Hopefully I'll be able to use the ideas that I come up with as I draw as visual inspiration for the games that I want to create. The first game is a twist of a Tetris game that I've made in Unity. The link is here https://nebulus99.itch.io/multicoloured-tetris-variant if anyone's interested to play it. I'll be posting up my games here, because the future games that I'll make will have a more visual approach and focus to the game design and development of these games. I hope that it's alright with the moderators that I do this!

Thanks for reading this and I look forward to contributing to this forum! If you have any feedback on my artwork and/or games do not hesitate to leave a reply :smile:

I used to have a messy style of artwork but it has gotten much cleaner over the years. But keeping a clean style on digital pieces is difficult and getting used to drawing on glass brings about it's own challenges as well. I've only realised that I've got messy recently so going back to clean linework is something that I've just done.

I'll be uploading my own sketches (or doodles :laughing: ) that I find that are worthy of note. These particular sketches in this piece stands out because of the way I've drawn the figure to show foreshortening. In this case the foreshortening is extreme and I liked the way it has turned out. There are rare moments when I do get the foreshortening and perspective right, and in these moments I cherish the quality of my work.

Lastly I do have a style of drawing, colour and perspective that I want to achieve. I would call this my end goal, but of course there is no end goal in art :confused: I'll get to it eventually as I keep on working hard on my figure drawing skills. There is another side of art that is to develop my artwork conceptually, but I think illustration and concept art goes hand in hand if used appropriately! :smile:

I'll post up an influence map of artists I admire that influence my work sometime. As a clue, I'd have to say I'm leaning towards the artistic style that comic book artists use when conceptualising, developing and drawing their scenes and characters. As I get better at this, I'll then focus more on concept art, which is another main goal that I'll be aiming to achieve in my artistic journey. I'd like to know your opinion of this, let me know what you think about what I said here (or in any of my previous and future posts!).

It has been a while, but I'm back at it again with homework from Art School Term 1!

Even though it may seem easy, the first exercise has to be the hardest of all as I'm drawing on glass and the pen movement can be bumpy at times. My first finished exercise wasn't so good so I've redone it and the lines are more on point now.

1 - Pen Control.png1280x2542 841 KB

There's nothing too tricky with this exercise apart from the last which I struggled for a while sigh... it's the best that I can do :confused:

2 - Image Adjustments.png1280x2396 2.91 MB

Since it's the first time I've experimented with photo manipulation, I've just combined two images together from Google. Wasn't really too creative, just a castle by the lake. Worked out well in the end.

3 - photo manipulation 1.png1405x886 2.01 MB

And here are the two images that I've used for this...

Duplication exercise:

4a - photo manipulation 2 - apples.png1200x800 838 KB

This looks a bit freaky (but not as freaky as the young model with the extra eye :no_mouth:

Had lots of fun with this one.

4c - photo manipulation 3 - alien.png1416x1098 1.24 MB

Not sure this was an exercise, but here's a box in perspective.

box in perspective.png2100x1500 208 KB

I think that it's a bit hard to get a photo reference that is in one point perspective. I gave up after my second try haha but may get back into drawing the lines again once I'm familiar with muti-point perspective. Marc did say that there are multiple vanishing points that can be in a photo so I wonder if the other lines converge in different points in the image... I guess I'll find out after learning about more perspective. Really keen to draw buildings/scenes from my own imagination one day so will work on the second perspective exercise in Term 2.

These sketches are 30 seconds to 1 minute gestures. After copying almost all the figure drawings in the anatomy book it made it easier to draw the poses since I've done the hard work first!

2018-02-09 gesture reference 30s-1m.png7200x4800 1.84 MB

Models that I've tried to draw over. I have to say that I've cheated on this as I wanted to jump straight into drawing 3d cylinders before doing the action lines/skeletal form haha :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

poses 1 (line of action).png1920x1280 2.11 MB

Proportions. Definitely need more practise with this one as I'm looking to do anatomy studies and figure drawing in the near future. The drawing does look messy so I'll do my best to clean up the other figure drawings that I'll do next time.

Now this worked out on my second attempt really well as you can see in the overlay of the second image. The drawing that I did turned out to be too large, but fitted really well as I scaled it down. Was pleased with this result! :grinning:

reference figure 1.png2100x1500 345 KB

I've decided to pick the weakest aspect of the first term and use it to improve my skills in the second term. For me the weakest aspect which has been for a while is human anatomy which I'm really looking forward to doing in Term 2 and Term 3. This is a good lead from my previous artwork history as I've been trying to draw dynamic poses for most of the artwork that I've been doing over the past few years. But doodling these poses will only get me so far, so doing the anatomy courses is the good next step after reading the figure drawing anatomy book. I'll be posting up more work from the figure drawing book in the weeks to come.

As far as the game development has been going, I've decided to learn Adobe Illustrator for vector drawing to do graphics for 2d games. I'll be starting work on a game soon with my friend so hopefully I'll be able to show you some (hopefully cute) clipart soon!
