  • 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!

I'm in!
I have a story behind my vision and it goes like this:

"In 21'st century Earth was... stolen. Yes, stolen - by a giant planet which arrived from deep space. During this event mankind faced edge of extinction, but eventually some survived. Today Earth is a part of giant thief's rings. Together with Mars and remains of the Moon. And people... they live in cities built in craters. Those craters helps in epic struggle with extremely unstable climate and... sometimes collisions with meteors still occur."

Best Regards
Jonatan

P.S. Good luck to all participants! :smile:


Edit - October 17th 2017

This is my final image:

and my Concept Sheet:

Thank you Cubebrush team for this great Challenge, judges for your time and effort and sponsors for the prizes. Big thanks to all competitors! Your feedback helped me alot and watching your progresses was a big motivation for me. Overall it was quite a journey and I must admit that there was a few moments when I was thinking about quitting... I'm so glad that I didn't! Good luck to all of you :).

Best regards
Jonatan


Edit 0 Days : 12 Hrs : 12 Mins after deadline
Since my final image which I was uploading before deadline was too big, the forum automatically reduced it's size below required 2048 pixels. I wasn't aware of that, but according to post of @Acolet:

...there's still hope for me and so here is my (unmodified except the resolution) final image that meets the requirements:

Thank you once again @Acolet for helping me out!

Jonatan

P.S. I haven't edited in any way anything that I posted or wrote before.

Thank you Mari - I'm glad you like it! Can't wait to see yours :wink:.

Thanks, I will try my best, but I am not really good at environment design.
Do you have art up somewhere? Artstation or some other site?

Unfortunately not. At least I don't have a portfolio of any kind. I know that's stupid, but I have some kind of panic fear of placing into portfolio anything less than some really badass pros out there... Probably that's one of the reasons I'm not one of them but... I'm still dreaming about become one of them some day - it's good to have a dream, isn't it? :wink:

The last thing related somehow to environment creation was this entry for matte painting challenge:

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=370&t=1362127&page=1&pp=15

I had a lot of fun doing this but unfortunately it was the last matte painting challenge there and I haven't done anything purely environment related since then so... it will be great to feel like a world creator again and share it with other artistic souls here :).

Regards
Jonatan

Hello, this is just my opinion, but I think you should try to show more that this place was once another city or town (that's one of the topics it's supposed to be about) I think you should add more characters without construction to represent the collapse or Impact of something so you can appreciate more the apocalyptic environment :smiley:

Thank you. I agree in 100% that there should be more remains of the old world (more than planet bombed by meteors) and there will be so - I'm working on it :smile: . As for characters - I want to keep it as pure environment design or pure matte painting (I haven't decided yet) so there will be no people visible in the scene (especially that distance is a bit too great for that). Besides... there will be storm approaching from the horizon (another thing on my to-do list) so everyone's hiding :wink:.

Regards
Jonatan

Love the concept...and your hatchwork :smile: Look forward to seeing more.

10 days later

I was working on my 3D base for further painting. Here is the result:

In the meantime I tried to imagine how it would look like from the ground in three different scenarios (types of landscape) - swamp, frozen world and sea. I have not decided yet which type I will choose.

Of course those sketches are a bit overkill since I won't be using them directly in my final image, but... I had such a good time drawing this, that I couldn't resist :wink:.

Jonatan

cool designe, i like the arc shape objeckts .
Maybe you add on the third and last plan the same round elements to show some wide space
good luck

Thank you!
You right - third plan definitely needs more love. As for the arc shape objects - I hope at the end they will be more readible as craters, but first of all I want them to look cool, so... I'm really glad you like it :).

WIP 5
I couldn't spend too much time on this since last WIP and now I have to completely abandon the Challenge for two weeks - I'm taking a vacation and I will have no access to computer. But when I come back there will be still month till deadline so I should be OK.

This is where I'm now:
