  • 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!

Finally got myself a Wacom graphics tablet, and after redoing previous assignments, I'm pleased to report it's much better than the old Veikk tablet I used before - I don't need to constantly look up to my monitor any longer now. Anyways! On to...

TERM 1, WEEK 4, Pen Control Practice (exercises 1-5) + Pespective 1 assignments 1 & 2 (don't mind the typos regarding 1/2-point perspectives)
I had to redo assignment 1 because while I was re-checking the results yesterday, I found that I missed some convergence lines. I probably should've done exercises 6-10 of the top 10 daily exercises as well, but again, I'm not confident in my skills yet - exercise 5 is as far as I can do at the moment.

Good to see you are still working!
Unsolicited Advice: For copying/studying other people's work, you might want to try using a grid. On a layer above the image, draw out a grid of squares. Save a copy of that file, then add a solid white layer and hide the image. That way you have an image the same size as the original with identical grids on both. Then you go square by square and copy what you see. I learned that in art class back in high school and has been helpful when I'm trying to replicate something.

TERM 1, WEEK 5, Nude Figure assignments 4 and 7 + Perspective 1 assignment 2 (simple structures)

Used measurement tools for both nude figure assignments. #4 is easy, but #7... although I was eventually able to match the figures with the references, I still haven't fully understood how to use 'em (especially measuring relationships and important lines - accidentally deleted the layer containing the halfway point, and I only realized AFTER I closed the file, whoops; at least negative spaces are easier to use). If you guys know how a simpler way to do this, please let me know (or at least provide an explanation to help me understand better)

TERM 1, WEEK 4, Daily Pen Control Practice (exercises 6-9) + WEEK 5, Daily Nude Figure assignment 6 (2 minutes)

Finally got around to doing exercises 6-9 - drawing the ribbons is certainly the toughest part. Also, doing gesture drawing for 2 minutes... at first I thought I didn't do them well enough, but once I compared the results to my 30 seconds and 1 minute drawings, I realized the progress I'm making (even if it's small - it's been months since I started but I'm still doing Term 1).

TERM 1, WEEK 5, Character Drawing Study + WEEK 6, Perspective 1 assignment 3 and Primitive Drawings Exercise 1 + WEEK 8, Perspective 1 assignment 4

Hello, everyone! Long time no see (and sorry for taking so long to update). I wanted to finish Term 1 in December or earlier, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do so because my house became too noisy for me to study. I also realized that my work schedule is all over the place (sometimes really long, sometimes too short)... NOT conducive at all. But now that it's the new year, I can finally continue.

  • Character Drawing
    I was confused about how to copy character drawings, but I gotta thank JimSt for the advice, and I also came across this video by Art of Monjirou - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VVIvjck2QQ - both of these really cleared things up for me. Despite this I made multiple slip-ups that forced me to redo a few of them (stretching what should've taken 2-3 weeks into 4-5 weeks; I finished these before December BTW - again, my schedule was terrible at the time - but obviously wanted to do more before updating)

Characters in order:
1) Cagalli Yula Athha and 2) Lacus Clyne from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (just gotta do 'em because of FREEDOM)
3) Miorine Rembran and 4) Suletta Mercury from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
5) Noa Izumi from Patlabor

I don't know if I'll copy 5 more characters since I may not have the time to do so (I wanna reach Term 2 ASAP, preferably by the end of this month/beginning of February), but if there is time, I'll give it a try.

  • Perspective 1 Assignment 3

Tried to give my bedroom a sci-fi feel to it... though the PS5 is too "contemporary", I'll admit. The Gunpla is pretty much based on one of my own (and isn't actually placed there IRL).

  • Primitive Drawings Exercise 1

The bottle, glass, and USB drives are referenced from my own stuff.

  • Perspective 1 Assignment 4

Visited Tokyo in September, including Ginza (among other areas in the city). Hence the building you see here is loosely based on the Seiko House/Wako Building.

TERM 1, WEEKS 6 AND 8, Environment Drawing Study and Daily Nude Figure assignment 6 (2+5 minutes)

I realized that my work schedule is too short, so I decided to wake up much earlier than usual (before sunrise; about 4:30 AM. I usually wake up at 6 AM) to draw for 90+ minutes and every day (except for Sunday). Not fun, but it pays off.

  • Environment Drawing:

Copied the following (in order):
1. Royal Capital from Frieren
2. Kivotos from Blue Archive
3. Greenhouse from Maria-sama ga Miteru



Reused Monjirou's method to do these. Kivotos took the longest time for me to copy - roughly more than a week (if I didn't change my schedule it would take even longer).

And just like with the character linearts, I probably won't have the time to copy more environments, but if I can, I will (don't count on it though).

  • Gesture Drawing:

Used different reference photos this time around. Rather than just doing 5-minute gesture drawings in one week and then 2-minute GD's in the next, I decided to do both simultaneously. It felt (and probably will continue to feel) quite satisfying, because I can immediately compare the two results.

Anyways! I suppose it's time for me to finally move on to Term 2 after a year of lagging progress...

TERM 2, WEEK 1 Assignments

  • Photoshop 2 Assignment A

Clip Studio Paint has a lot of features that share the same functionality as Photoshop, but also lacks a few equivalents - fortunately they can be substituted.

Title logo (Japanese title translates to "lonely giant monster/kaiju")

Monster
I found myself thinking of certain games by InnerSloth and certain tokusatsu characters (hence the title).

Game/DVD cover box
Used Monochrome Texture Pack Update to create the starry background.

TERM 2, WEEK 2, Photoshop Assignment B, Anatomy 1 Assignments & Character Head Drawing Study

Characters in order:
1. Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam
2. Amate Yuzuriha/Machu from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux
3. Maya Ibuki from Evangelion
4. Miho Nishizumi from Girls und Panzer
5. Sayla Mass from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

I can't copy 4 other heads yet due to a forthcoming family vacation, but I'll get back to doing them as soon as I get home.
