Sorry for the late reply, but I do agree creating a composition with the sharks would be a good idea. And perhaps I could design a lot more concepts. Happy holidays
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?in24.1k
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 youin1.4k

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.

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!in47.6k
Happy New Year! This is a simple sketch I made to begin creating concepts to train my creativity. It's a simplistic design for a hovering robot that has a digital face which changes expressions. It is powered by two large batteries on its back. I envisioned it as a passive bot.
As always, feedback is much appreciated. This is the first time I've sat down and sketched out a full concept like this, so I'm sure I could improve on a lot for my future sketches and designs. Happy holidays!

This is just a simple post. I've been on the edge of burnout for weeks now and so I'm making the decision to take a complete break from social media for a while. I want to really take the time to get back to my senses and find out a strong 'why' for what I want to accomplish in my lifetime.
This break could be a few weeks, a month, a few months, or even longer. And that's okay. Sometimes in life you need to make tough decisions. Goodbye.

I wanted to share a glimpse of my passion for Spider-Man with this fan art I've created of Miles Morales. My process was to begin entirely with ballpoint pen, and then fill in areas with colored pencils. I didn't get the vibrant colors I was looking to achieve, but I've learned nonetheless. 
Feedback is much appreciated!
That actually looks pretty cool! Even if you didn't get the vibrant colors you wanted, I think the muted tones gives it a really neat look.

Here's another one from God of War. I have come to accept my use of pen and colored pencils, since if the colors were more vibrant, they'd take away from being able to see the pen. Combining the two has been a good learning curve for me. Pen has taught me that there are only lessons, not 'mistakes' and 'failures.'
I love the vibe of the Miles Morales piece! You should explore that style some more. If the colors didn’t come out the way you want just keep doing some more and improving them.

Thank you. My style is something that will develop over many years, so it's not something I'm rushing. I want it to come out naturally. Anyway, here is a 1-Hour speedpainting I've just made that I wanted to share here.
[ Made in Procreate -- Backstory is below ]
When things are crashing down and death is all around, and all seems lost, the only thing left is peace in the acceptance that things are ending and that there is a new beginning about to come around. In this case, a species is on the brink of extinction with an apocalypse occurring, and in all of this chaos the blood gushing from spikes in its heart is bringing with it new life ( the mushrooms on the bottom center ).
Here's the YT video I've made [ https://youtu.be/FhNcsH447os ]

Okay. So I have a practice I deem "Art Studies," even though these might not seem like the traditional art studies you may be used to ( i.e. drawing from life or reference photos in the real world ). My method involves screenshots from video games or movies. I have now completed the art studies for Journey ( via screenshots ). This took me a year to finish, for many reasons.
This has been my first series, so it is highly experimental ( I largely did not know how to go about it for the most part, but I simply kept going ). The time I took for these varied widely, though for the most part each one was anywhere from 10-25 minutes or so. A selection of my studies are below. You can post your thoughts if you want to. Enjoy!
Too great. I am really impressed with your manuscripts, especially the 100-character set in such a short time. I also love the way you color sketches like the draft of the night sky, and also the super spider. What kind of pens do you usually use and what color media do you use for your sketches?
