  • 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!

Glad to see another 3d artist here!! I would actually agree with not focusing on topology just yet! Make sure you fully understand zbrush and be creative and have fun for a bit cause hard surface modeling zbrush is no easy task ! lol and I also just started using zbrush too so whatever I learn I can attempt to help !

Ah thanks for much for the kind words. Yea really just trying to have fun and hopefully build a really cool portfolio in the process. That and I'd love to make some friends here on cubebrush as well! Yea the topology was from just Zremeshing to see what it does to be honest lol. Currently playing around in Zbrush now so hopefully I have some thing new to post soon ^^V

Yea was playing around this morning in zbrush with trim tools and that has a bit of a learning curve to that so much to learn but it's a blast. The topology shot was from Zremeshing mostly to see the results so I'm not really focusing on retopo just yet ^^V.

I hope to have some thing new to post here tonight ^^V

Hey! You got some cool stuff going on here! I dropped by here after reading you're also new to Cubebrush and I'm amazed to find you're already this good at 3D. I'm mostly a 2D artist as you've seen on my blog, but lately I've also been thinking of learning how to 3D. And just reading your blog inspired me to really try my hands on it! I hope you don't mind me asking but, would Zbrush be a good program for a beginner to use?

No worries and thanks for the kind words ^^V. For Zbrush I would say it's not to hard to get into. They have 30 day free trails which will let you see if you like it or not. The good thing is Zbrush has a bunch of "How to" guides via video's on their site which will help a lot. I've been running threw them like mad.

If you want to try 3D I'd say jump in with both feet!

Here's my latest Zbrush sculpt. Whipped this head together in about an hour and a half. Really just exploring how Zbrushes paint tools work...and I love how Zbrush paints.

I wanted to take a minute and talk about getting into Zbrush. I've had people in Real Life and online ask about getting started in 3D via Digital.

Here's my take on it. Just get started. Use Zbrush and dive in. Zbrush is very traditional in the sense of sculpting in Clay. In fact learning Zbrush teaches you how to use Clay (traditional). It also works in the reverse (Clay to Zbrush).

So here it is folks. Don't say you want to learn Zbrush for 3D modeling. Just say I want to sculpt and draw in 3D. Don't worry about polygons or how to box model. Just jump in and create like you would with Clay. If you give an 8 year old clay and say have fun. The 8 year old wont ask questions they will just have fun making some thing. This is what you need to do, go back to your 8 year old self and just have fun making some thing.

Refinement will happen naturally over time as you keep at it. The only thing about Zbrush that is hard (at first) is the UI. For this just go to Zbrushes website and watch the video's on UI. Once you have a small grasp on the UI start having fun.

Now, what are you waiting for just create. Above are my very beginnings in Zbrush. I've made only 3 or 4 sculpts and this is where I'm at. I didn't worry about polygons or worry about if I'm good or not. I just said I want to sculpt and have fun.

If you just channel your 8 year old self, you will have fun. So just create and have fun. These are my tips.

Here's a WIP of my latest sculpt. Currently around 2 and half hours. For those wondering or interested this was made with using only Clay Build Up brush. I'm taking my time this one but it might be done tomorrow night ^^

I'm very inspired by your work and dedication of learning 3D, I do want to learn 3D but first I need to get better at 2D which it's what I love the most.

Keep the good work :smiley:

Welcome to the forum,
I look forward to see your progress! :smile:

@motato Thank you for the kind words and I say jump in head first into 3D. You will be surprised at how 3D can really help your 2D drawing skills.

@imphelikz Thank you for the warm welcome. I'll try my best to not disappoint in terms of progress.

Here's the final sculpt. Worked on the anatomy some more and then did subtle changes to break the symmetry to make the character more interesting to look at. I was also able to play around with lightcaps and the movie function inside of zbrush to make a turntable. Overall I think it came out nice but I have to say I need to work on modeling ears.

Here's the youtube link https://youtu.be/jGja7H8lQ8I

8 days later

Posting a little update. I've been sculpting everyday but nothing worth finishing sadly. So today I wanted to go back to basics and just work on shapes. So I wanted to attempt a new work flow with making the head and torso with a start on the lower half of the body. This was made with going with 3 sphere's and trying to think more traditional clay than digital if that makes sense.
