  • 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

  • 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. Here are some recent pictures: You can find timelapses for most of them on my instagram: www.instagram.com Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) • Instagram photos and videos 123 Followers, 638 Following, 19 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Vithor Albertim (@vithor_albertim) Comments and critiques are always welcome.Cheers!
  • @patrycja.lerch Thank you I created another variant, which might capture the witch look I was going for better
  • 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!

Hello everyone, joining a bit late but here for ART WAR 2!
Last year was fun so let's try again!

I have some ideas for the challenge, i'll post them soon, but to give you a quick idea it's kind of a mix with Dr Manhattan and the angels from Peter Mohrbacher (i hope i spelled it right ) that gives some kind of a goddess of light

So now back to work :smile:

Final edit :
Here's the final concept sheet and illustration for my character : Basteld
She's part of the mythology in my book Tales of the Knights which you can see some artworks here : https://www.artstation.com/rgdraw

Try making sure that you're not logged in on more than one device. I had that same problem and it seemed to go away once I logged off on all devices/computers and then tried to log in. Unless you're also asking about why you have no avatar, in which case - as you can see from my own lack of avatar - I have no clue! :grin:

As for the sketches, they're all nice. I gravitate towards the last one as the pose in the other 3 is pretty non-committal while the cross legs says the most, it's unconventional for a "warrior" and thus feels more fresh. Looking forward to seeing how you develop the glowy halos and such. Good luck with it!

Thanks man! :smile:

About the login part, I've only one computer so it's not the problem, and i even tried to log off and it doesn't work either xD But now i have a new question, does my avatar not show? Because it works fine on my computer

And for the sketches, i like the last one too, trying colors on it atm, showing those test soon :smiley:

Your avatar is showing fine (it's just mine that isn't! :sweat_smile:)
Of these colors, I feel like the only one that isn't working is the first one, as the brown feels really understated and it feels like it echoes the colors in the sky too much and thus doesn't stand out. (The blue skin is nice though. :+1: ) The green and red combo is especially strong. My favorite is the top left because the flowing red cloth reminds me of classical Italian religious paintings so that ends up feeling religious/god-like to me. Also, red skin feels very obvious for a demon-like character so the teal skin gets away from that a bit more.
Good luck with it whichever you choose, and good luck also with the logging in stuff!

Oh ok thanks i thought i had another problem xD (I hope you'll find a solution too )

For the colors, i agree with you, on the first one the brown is not that great but i like the blue. Maybe i can mix with the red, like you said it reminds the classic italians paintings
Thanks for your input man :smile:

Nice to see you here too @rgdraw !
My favourite is the second one.
The colours match pretty good together ^^

Otherwise I'm not really sure about her scepter...but that's just me probably haha
Good luck with everything and I hope you got enough time to finish it !

Actually read the first one as blue and gold, and kind of like it :smiley:

@mr_dessin Thanks! I was going for a trident, Poséïdon style, but it still can change I'm not completely sure about it

@nightblue-art The gold part can be a good idea, i'll think about that thanks man! :smile:

Worked on the design a bit more, because i'm not sure about the composition right now
So I started the model sheet, i went for the blue skin and red fabric, it gives a really cool contrast. Still need to define a lot, i don't know if i let her barefoot or if i give her some cool boots
Anyway feel free to tell me if you like it or not :smile:

Looks like a good color choice! :+1: In general I would lean towards the boots because more surface detail is more interesting... But if you do end up going with the cross-legged position you sketched earlier, that looks more appropriate with bare feet. An active or standing battle shot, though, would look great with boots.

Thank you! :smiley:
Well that's excatly for that reason I don't know if I should add boots or not x)

Maybe I'm totally wrong but with your (stocking?) things on her legs...boots would be too much.
Anyways...I guess doing your artwork will settle that easily ? (or not)

Don't worry about that, if I add boots I'll remove some of the "things" on her legs, because it wouldn't worked with both of the pieces

I continued to work on the design, I'm going with the "no boots" for her in the end
I think for the design part I'm good i don't see where I can keep adding more stuff, so I'm gonna work on the illustration a bit now
And like always, tell me what do you think of it so far :smile:

It looks really nice so far! I’m wondering how it would look if you copied the border pattern from the botton cloth ribbon and used it on the top one as well. Also, a good note for glowing objects is to think not only about making the object have a glow, but also how that light is going to hit other surfaces; for example, the glowing hair cloud would probably illuminate the top of her shoulders and ribbon as well. Also, changing the black round objects in her right hand to a gold color would help improve the color harmony. I hope that helps! :smile:
