  • 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!

Just looking on other artists opinions on the ipad pro. I've got a good home set up, but would like a way to digitally paint while I'm at work or anywhere away from my comp. I've seen some of the work created by iPads so that was going to be my route, but dont have any first hand experience with one. And wacoms version of a portable computer is ridiculously overpriced imo.

Hello there. I saw your post and I have an iPad Pro 10.5 inch. It is very useful and handy when doing digital art for my experience using it. The program I use on my iPad Pro is called Pro Create. My opinion is, it is the most awesome, easiest interface to understand. There are tutorials on how to use the program but not alot. From my knowledge I have created some interesting illustrations with the program. I also use it to redo my traditional illustrations as well. I hope this will help you my friend. Start your journey into digital art with Pro Create. I absolutely love it. Oh, one more thing........in the program you can customize brushes and settings with the brushes. Plus you can take the iPad Pro anywhere and just doodle or create masterpieces at events or just use it to share ideas with other artists. Hope you have fun and if you have any questions for me on how to use certain features, please feel free to reach out. I will certainly lend a hand. I love networking with other artists anyway and sharing ideas. Best of luck to you. I just joined this site. I like it so far. Peace.

I am currently using iPad Pro 12.9 inch, I bought it 6 months ago from Reecoupons by using Online coupons, and I found it best for painting and designing. I really love it because to run it very easiest. I hope you will find it quite good like me.

an ipad pro is a great choice for digital art. If you want to take your drawings on the go. This is absolutely the best choice. However battery life may be lacking. so be sure to bring an extra charger everywhere you go

iPad Pro is great. The thinner glass means that it has a better feel than Wacom Cintiq, at least for me. There is less offset between the pen tip and the brush stroke because of that thinner glass. Brushes do much better at thin to thick and stroke variation than they do in desktop Photoshop, in all three of the apps listed below, IMHO.

Procreate is great and affordable and the upcoming 5.0 (don't think it's out yet) looks really great. Nice brushes, easy to figure out.

Adobe just released Fresco, a painting app. The UI is super simple. Arguably, too simple with not enough brush controls. But quite easy to learn since you can't actually dig too deep. You can sign up to unlock all features. It'll be $10/month but they give you the first 6 months free and presumably you can cancel before it starts charging you. Probably not worth a subscription fee, imho, but worth doing a trial of even if only to just check out their wet on wet brushes (live brushes). A major benefit, though, is that you can import any of your Photoshop brushes and they work great, though the overall controls of those brushes inside of Fresco is very limited.

Clip Studio/Paint is great. The brushes are not as "real" feeling but they have great controls and this is the app that loads of comics artists have changed over to. This is a full featured app and is deeper and more robust for overall art production not just paint.

So, there are a few options to try out and all of them are pretty great. Check them all out and see what you personally like.

Oh, and it seems a full featured Photoshop should be released sometime soon. If the brush engine is good, that might be a great option, though it will undoubtedly have a subscription model as well.

Hi guys, thanks for everyone who shared an opinion on this :smile:
I am seriously considering getting the iPad Pro, and this forum has been very useful to get an idea of the practical side of things. I have a few questions and would be very grateful to anyone who can provide some info :smile:
1 - The biggest disappointment I had with the Cintiq was how smooth and slippery the surface is, and the distance between the tip of the pen and the actual visible brushstroke .. For a long-time traditional artist like me, this is very difficult to get used to. I understand the iPad pro is an improvement in this regard, do you think it's "better enough" to be worth the money?
2 - What types of styluses are available for the device? Probably this is a noob question, I only know they have the apple pen which is a bit costly, I want to make sure I consider all options before spending this much
Thanks again for anyone willing to share experience

Hello,
So I did buy the ipad pro back in 2019 (before we knew what covid was yet), and I have been very happy with it, 10/10 would recommend. I am using ProCreate, i tried a few other apps but this seems to me the most intuitive and having the most useful features. It feels very close to traditional sketching, i got the 11” one as it is small sketchbook sized and very comfy to carry around, i also got a matte screen protector to counter the slipperiness and make it feel mor like paper. Here some results, hope this is helpful for somebody :smile:
