Inspirational. Your evolution in the past year is brazy
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?in24.4k
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 youin1.5k

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!in48.8k
Your work is so beautiful! I look forward to see what you do in the new year!
That's a beautiful scene of Zack dancing with the Oc. And clive with the Oc. Does the woman in the second image have an outfit similar to Yuna from Final Fantasy X?
I like the progression of your artwork in 2023. Especially the skin tones.
And I see in 2024 you worked on anatomy and llighting.
You have come a long way in a couple of years.
Thank you @levelhead14 @ErroIsTheFool and @gregorya !
I can see the resemblance on this angle. But no, it's just classic medievial fantasy dress with corset. And I made the slevees this way to add more flow to it
Since it's new year I will share some goals
- BACKGROUNDS, stop thinking just do it. And learning blender to help me. I even have planned illustrations for it
- Make more complex art; whether it is about design or composition just more complex
- Stop polishing stories to eternity and draw it already!
- Advertise myself more. People can't commission you if they don't know they can
- and simply improving
Last artwork of 2024! Entry for DTIYS. Had lots of fun with it. Tried to get that gothic vibe while keeping colors from original DTIYS post
And the first artwork of the year! Let's set a high bar from the start
Decided to call it done after refining the little details for hours. I really enjoy drawing flowers lately. Probably should learn a bit more about them so I don't draw roses all the time 
Also look at that hands! Look so good. I spent a while searching for perfect refs and even longer while painting them. But it was worth it^^
Character is Yuki. She is a priestess from my comic
Some process pics
I find it easier to get the idea first on paper. Feel more loose. I started doing clean greyscale to have easier time making things correct. Later with color adjustments I add color to set a tone for the whole thing. It quickly changes but painting over colored base is better than grey. And it doesn't look bad when I don't paint over some parts. Later applying local colors and rendering till its done. 
Happy New Year! May it be wonderful and creaitve! And have a beautiful day <3
Happy new years I know its been a while but I always love to see everyone's improvements over the years and these last couple are probably one of your best yet I cant wait to see what everyone bring to 2025
I see. That's good to know.
More complex art sounds good as well as making backgrounds. Maye even more complex backgrounds? These are pretty good goals. Good luck. I found a video about learning how to use Blender in 2025. Around the 8-minute mark, he talks about environments:
Nice work from the DTIYS. I like the colors, butterflies, and flowers.
Your Yuki piece looks good as well. The hands seem off to me. Are they too small? The process from sketch to finished is great as well. Happy New Year.
Thank you @uggievang and @gregorya !
Thank you, will watch it
Hand size seems to be my all time problem I know I made wrists too small but when I tried to fix them it looked bad so I left it. Maybe it affects hands too
Working on a commission! Maybe will get another one soon ^^
Some doodles, the first one I will turn into paitning ...when I get to it
Making a design for FFXVI oc - Vincent, it's pretty much a mix of Castevania and ffxvi 
Have a beautiful day <3
I think one idea would be to make the hands bigger after you finish.
The queen's pose looks good so far. The portraits are good as well as the designs.
noice!! its so cool to see how much you've improved over the years 
your art is so crisp now its awesome! and your bgs are getting better and better with each piece!
Thank you @mitsuki-youko and @gregorya!
I resize them often but then it just feels to big to me. I also check the size many times
Commission done! I shared before the sketch I did as fanart. Creator of this character liked it so much he wanted a full painted piece
Sephiroth doodle. I was trying to figure out how ibis paint works. I know some parts are a bit off, maybe will fix it and clean it up in csp. It was weird drawing on a different device and app
I finally sketched panels for short comic. Its around 20 pages long. Just need to find out how I want to draw it and make 2 designs.
Comic is about Dorian so I draw him to find a way how to make it
Have a beautiful day <3
ohhh the last one is super pretty love how soft it is
Gorgeous work as always! I love the dark atmosphere and lighting on the commission. Awesome you got to turn it into a full painting :] The color scheme on the Ibis piece is interesting as well. Can't wait to see more of the comic! Keep up the good work!
Nice work on the commission, The dark atmosphere with the bits of red works pretty well. I also like your sketches. The last one looks soft. I like it. I like the long eyelashes on Sephiroth.
