Gave myself 5 days to do something. This is what I managed to do. I'm trying to get better at illustrations, but I have patience to work on something for 3 days maximum :(

Queen Padmé Amidala in my art style!
First time drawing her and I really enjoyed making this one!
Used watercolours, ink pen, acrylic markers and gold paint for accents on my Canson mix media sketchbook.
I hope you like it!
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.

The feeling of only getting 1 - 3 likes on a social media post will never not be discouraging. But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. 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

Neon Gambit
This is a fan art of my all time favorite character Gambit from the X-Men.I made this a birthday gift (26.04.2024) to myself and honestly I really do like how it turned out in the end =] I hope you like it as well =]
And some more! Been painting over them a bit more this time.
Some variants I tried for the old guy using mainly the liquify tool. Someohow looking a bit like Owen Wilson (not intended :D)
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:

Comments and critiques are always welcome.Cheers!
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!
Havent done much this year since I am focusing on learning programming and deving my own Indie Game . But here 's a New Year Piece 2024 , she 's the mascot for my Game Studio - Lucid Realm : Lucid Chan !

Long Crested Eagle studyI had so much fun making this one and honestly I love that Eagle! It looks so cool! Used for this one high quality watercolours, high quality watercolour sketchbook/ cold press and it was 300 grams paper.I hope you like it!
I'm a hobbyist who started Art School in fall 2019.
I loved doodling while I was in school but got discouraged when I hit a wall after trying to do anything more finished than a doodle and transition to digital. Around three years ago I discovered some structured exercises that seemed like they could help me get over that. Since then I've mostly been working on fundamentals as I am still scared to create my "own" pieces but I'm having a lot of fun and that's what's most important to me
I'm really looking forward to where this journey will take me but I'm excited to be here. If you have any critique or even just a passing thought about any of my submissions I'd love to hear it!
So I just finished Term 1 yesterday (which is why I started the topic in the first place :D) - overall it took me about 10 months. I hope the next term will not take me quite as long but I'm optimistic as I am in a much better place than I was half a year ago. But I also learnt to not dwell too long on a single exercise or do too many additional things as I found I gained the most from the assignments that threw me into cold water But overall I'm mostly happy that I've finished something!
