  • 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 thought I would just create one space for all of my Artschool assignments going forward so I don't have to create a new topic for every term. So I'll be starting with some assignments from Term 4.
A few draw overs to start.

Applying muscles over an imagined skeleton is something I've really struggled with so I've decided to put more effort into this part of the assignment. For the next set, I'm going to push the perspective and foreshortening some more.

First part of the color and light assignments, this is another area where I struggle a lot so I'm going to do these a few more times. The drawing is from a commission I did a few days ago for the goddess of absinth, who guides drunk people back to there homes at night. Since absinth has a green tint to it and often comes in bottles that are also green, I decided that green would have to be in each color scheme. I like the first and last ones, the first has a slightly sickly look and her dress is sort of a vomit colored yellow-green, which feels pretty appropriate. The last one has a much more friendly look that I like. Of course, it could just be that her dress is the same color as Megara's from the Disney Hercules movie

Hey @MattD,

Amazing work so far!
Other than the options you mentioned, I really liked the second one as well. The colors feel very well balanced and they don't still away from checking the character's expression as well.

Excited to see a final render of this 😍

Quick question about commissions: how did you start out? And where do you get your requests from?

Cheers!

Thanks! I liked the second one too, really the only one that I didn't like was the third one.

For commissions, I started out getting them on DeviantArt years ago. I've had some success with things like Fiverr and sketchmob. Most of them have come through Reddit, there are a few subreddits where artists can post that they're looking for work. I've never been able to do it full time though but the jobs are becoming more frequent so I'm hoping in the next year or two I'll be able to make it my full time gig.

First part of my lighting assignment. I'm feeling good about creating shadows for cubes so I'm going to draw some more complex shapes and do this again

that does not look like a struggle of muscules over a skeleton. WOW. those are really good anatomy studies.

@ghostmonst3r Thanks! It took a while to do and definitely felt like a struggle so I'm glad it doesn't look like it was a struggle.

Some noncube shapes with some lighting. I'm hoping to finish the third assignment of the color and light class tomorrow and then move onto lesson 5.

Done with the final lighting assignment! Moving onto lesson five tomorrow, I'm still going to do some of the imagined skeletons with muscles because those have been really helpful even if they've been a struggle. Adding in foreshortening has definitely made them a lot harder

Wow, these look amazing! Congratz!
I can imagine how this can level up one's game of light and shadow for characters as well, and how nice to see knowledge like perspective put together with this one. Turned out awesome! Congrats again!

the cleanliness of the gradients, edges, and selection masks you used really gives me the vibe of older physical airbrushed works.

I feel pretty good about these poses, so now I'm going to try out playing with proportions and move onto term 5

They all look really good man! Congratz!

There a few of them that I feel like they are missing part of the neck (of the trapezius muscle feel a bit short, I guess?) but overall they look amazing!

@dangras-almeida Thanks, I see what you mean about the neck muscles. I didn't really define them very well or in a couple I just didn't even draw them

@ghostmonst3r Thank you. They took me a long time to draw, foreshortening is hard even when there's reference. So much of my time was just getting the skeleton to look correctly proportioned

Playing with proportions and muscle size a bit. I'll push the next ones I draw a lot further, these are pretty simple.

Your anatomical studies are sooo good :heart_eyes: especially the woman with exagerated proportions!! these three seems characters in an early stage :grin:
I started the arms yesterday and I'm feeling a bit lost hahah any advice? How long does it took to you to master it? Sorry to bother you but you are really good at this :smile:

Thanks! So for arms one of the things that helped me was to think of the arm muscles as links in a chain. The biceps and triceps attach around the deltoid, and the muscles of the lower arm attach on the side of the muscles of the upper arm.

I did a (very) quick drawing on my tablet that I think will show what I mean. It has helped me a lot with placing the big muscles of the arm.

It took me a long time to get to this point. About half of the art books that I own are about anatomy. One thing that really helped me a lot was a YouTube channel by Proko. His classes are really great and he covers every bit of human anatomy, its all free too.

Hope thats helpful!

Ohh yeah I think that Proko is the master of anatomy :smile: And I saw this arm structures in some sculpture books, I must try them hahah I always think about every muscle structure without reflecting to the overall shape.
Thank you so much :heart_eyes: This was really helpful!!

whoa thats a truly nifty way to wrap your head around the volumes of the arm. Thank you, thats actually going to help me a bunch. It immediately clicked it my brain! If I could ask a favor, If you could look at my last homework I posted for 4 pt perspective I tried doing a woman because its my weak point. Any critique would be helpful.... Im tuff no need to hold back if a lot is bad or wrong. thanks in advance, if you have time.

First few animal studies. Its been a while since I've done a lot of animal studies so I was a bit rusty. I tried my best to draw the skeletons just by thinking about what was in the lesson but I referenced my notes a few times when I got stuck.

Some more animal studies with the skeletons.
