  • 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

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

  • 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, friends!

I am Unilluminated, a 25-year-old lady from sunny southern California, and I used to lurk around the old forums quite a bit... So naturally, I am ecstatic that the Cubebrush forums are coming back! This place has always had the best community.

I rarely have any time to produce art, since I currently work full-time in the medical field, but I am very passionate about digital painting and am super excited to work with you all to become a better artist. I like dark, gothic art, as well as fantasy and sci-fi. My work usually focuses around a central female character... maybe someday I'll branch out and do something different! (Nah, probably not ^^)

Sometimes competitions are the only way to get me motivated to finish a complete illustration, so you'll see me there!

Hey everyone, my name is Matt. I am currently a high-school senior that is aspiring to become an artist. I am super excited for the Cubebrush forums because now I can hopefully receive and give artistic feed back on a site that's not over-saturated.

Hello,

I guess I'm semi-pro. I find small jobs mostly with Illustration as a freelancer.

Was once in a full time gig as an in house illustrator (which is super rare weird job). Have done the few odd concept art jobs here and there.

I do a twitch stream pretty regularly if any of you want to come online and hang while I'm drawing I'll leave the link in my Profile.

I am redoing my entire portfolio to be geared towards entertainment Illustration and some concept art for characters and am going to gladly share the process here.

Can't wait to start posting!

Thanks Marc and team for making this venue!

Richard Tobing is a college student endeavoring to teach himself how to draw. He is currently a non-professional hobbyist attempting to make art as a source of income, currently focusing on comic books and storyboarding, but also holding deep interest in concept art and illustration, specifically of the sci fi and fantasy genres. He derives inspiration from entertainment, music, and literature, and enjoys talking in the third person to make himself sound super legit.

Hello everyone,

I'm Enrico. I started doing art years ago copying Pokemon and then trying new things everytime. I've always been a traditional artist and then, when I had the opportunity, I managed to try and buy a digital tablet that opened many new options for me. I'm not a "costant" artist since there are periods when I draw a lot and I like my drawings, others when I start to hate everything and drop art for a bit. It's always been like this since I can remember.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on this new website. Thanks to everyone that worked on this and gave it to us.
