  • 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

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

  • 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!

Your setup is very similar to mine with a window to the right and printer/scanner to the left. Here's mine but there are 3 elements missing: 2 cats (they were outside while I took the pic) and my phone (I took the pic with it). :smiley:

I have an alienware with windows 10, wacom cintiq 13 hd, sony tv for screen, (no touch screen), extra, small keyboard for painting shortcuts. I use clipstudio paint pro because it's the only thing I can afford right now. I'm also proud of my 2 books I got for my birthday: Drawing Anatomy and The Art of Blizzard Entertainment.

Aww yeah I love getting to see where other people work! Other people's houses are so interesting. I love how light and spacious your workspaces are!
@joabt That chair looks so comfy :smile:

Here's my workspace. I purchased a third hand Cintiq recently, otherwise I'd have a 1st gen Bamboo Fun on display. Such an exciting upgrade! I'm really enjoying the cintiq. My PC is one I custom built a few years ago. 50% of the plants in this photo are fake, but the real 50% are amazingly alive after a whole year in my care. The drawer unit has my copics inside, and my sketchbooks are next to it. So many sketchbooks... Also there are 6 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure things in this picture. I really like JoJo's haha. :blush:

I have been recently exploring with something I read in the book Steal Like An Artist, which is to have a seperate space for digital work and traditional work.

So in the other space is where I brainstorm, sketch and stuff, and in the other is where I bring the idea together. Because it speaks about where you're prone to just let the tools decide for you, instead of using your own capabilities.

Been really enjoying it so far, because the traditional space is so cozy, and when I am done in there I bring the lamp in the other room to also make it cozy, but doesn't have similar effect since I am surrounded by books in the other room.

My current gear is :
Dell Inspiron 15
Asus Monitor 21 Inch or so
Keyboard COD MW3 G105
Klip Mouse KMW-355
Huion Tablet H610 Pro (Not shown on the photo because currently waiting for my pen to arrive due that the other one broke)

IMG_20161230_080809.jpg2576x1932 584 KB

Have yet to test the idea of drawing the ideas in the other room and bring them to the digital world with the tablet because my pen broke. I will be testing it for studying as well.

Like come in the other room and look at ref take notes of what I find interesting and go back in the other room and draw the ideas down (of course not with the notes) that's something I also read in a book called Art Spirit.

Oh man... I am filling up the thread with my rambling :joy: let me leave it here.

Nothing special really, standing desk with a PC on top of it, it is pretty spacey 1 monitor :frowning: the other a capacitor is acting up and it smokes a bit when i use it so its only for emergency things, thinking of attempting a repair though that will be a while, might just be best to get a new one.

Speakers on the side of the tower, i am glad i got a standing desk, i rigged up a seated ghetto version under it with a wood plank (stained) and two small wooden dressers so I can do both without adjusting the standing desk (it is not an automatic standing / sitting desk, it is manual so i'd have to readjust each leg every time)

Ikea if i remember correctly, black desk , steel legs tallest they had, black pc/speakers, black keyboard,mouse,tablet,pen.

Bad res i know but nothing special, have two sliding door windows the size of a wall on the left goes out onto a small deck.

the rigged up leg rest is clever definitely gonna add that to my set up :smile:

I like it when people have illustrations and stuff besides their work space. I think I'm going to need a cork board or something to hang inspiration pieces... I recently started my art book collection so I can find good quality inspiration offline.

Dec '16

So what I'm using is.. um...
Linen canvas
Old Holland paints
Linseed oil medium
Rosemary's Brushes
(the palette in the frame is the guy's to the left of me, mine is also glass but with very carefully organised paint :wink: )

Also have a basic home work station for digital stuff. Just a large intros pro with a 27 inch monitor/computer with photoshop. Don't have a lot of time for digital stuff anymore :C

I really liked this idea, in my opinion it is a nice way to see where "art is born" and how different it can be for each one of us
This is where I do most of my traditional art ( It is kind of like a studio but not really) , maybe later i'll post where i do my digital stuff

Well I try to have as much inspiration around as I can, so there is some of my artwork on the wall and on the left are pages from cut up promotional stuff that has been given to me as I attendet info days at schools and stuff. Funily enough they try to bait you in with all this cool looking stuff, I just put it up on my wall even though I'll never go there because it's so damn expensive xD They are pretty regardless so. And my Loish book that I just love to look at and go through when my brain's stuck again - also some rly oldschool books, shakespear and german literature. I work on an Intuos Pro M, my PC is a Gaming PC that I put together with a friend of mine that runs Photoshop CC, ZBrush and Maya - even though I have no Idea how to use the last two, but I'm working on it!

TL;DR nothing special.

(Don't interpret much into the toilet roll, we just don't have napkins and I eat at that desk as well xD)
