  • 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!

AAA I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE PURCHASED THIS
I'm also so glad that it doesn't require photoshop, cause I have everything but, it seems. =/w/=''

I'll be happy to use this forum to be able to post my own things here exclusively with what I've done in comparison, as well as conversations any of you guys want to have over any of it, or just other things in general about the class.

I'm really excited to get this started...! Thank you kindly for having me.

Um if you actually want to see any of my art separate from this class, I am happy to share links n'such, since one would have to... kinda backlog through my twitter in order to see art since I haven't done too much for the last few months; bad on my part.

1 - Pen Control.jpg1280x2542 630 KB

My pen control is not exactly the best right now, ahaha oops. I also didn't find a good way to actually get the opacity to change with the pressure on clip studio? So I just went in and faded it myself.... -sweats profusely-

Context: I used to always use monoprice; it was ergonomic and kind to my wrists, but since it broke, the version I had is no longer produced, so it's been a tough few months getting used to this tiny.. boxy..... wacom.... but I digress; I'm sure I'll get used to it so long as I keep at it.

Being ill doesn't help, but it won't stop me....!!

Oct '17

Practice 2 was unable to load in any of my programs, despite being saved as a .psd, so I wonder if it's specific to only photoshop?? Either way, it's unfortunate that I am unable to.

Oct '17

I hope I'm not going too far ahead....! I got too excited about this and went ahead and did project 3.

Here are the images I used as reference:

Oct '17

You'll be surprise how many great artist started and still use bamboo and wacom tablets. Its all practice, but still use your whole arm if u can or carpel tunnel will set in.

Oct '17

Ehehe, I know, I made a set up so that it hurts my wrists less and does less damage. I do all I can to make sure that I don't strain my hand since it's so precious to me. Thank you for the advice...!

Oct '17

Great job! Happy to have purchased this early too. Can't wait to see some progress!

Oct '17

Wow, your project 3 looks really good! Creates a very calm feeling. :relieved:

@Holland I'm so glad! That was the feeling I was going for. I always love the feelings of aquariums; the wall of jellyfish, the shark tunnel, ugh it's my favorite thing... With the ambiance that the glow of the light coming through the water down to you, it's just so soothing. I've always wanted to live in that feeling.

Oct '17

That project is looking absolutely amazing! I'm really curious what tool you used to get the jellyfish and reaf go together so amazingly? Keep it up and keep doing those lines and circles =) It's going to pay off so much. Good luck!

Oct '17

Excellent job on the project 3 :smile: if constructive criticism is ok, one thing I would adjust is the levels on the house itself might be a little high. Depending on how you have it set up in your program I would either adjust the curves on the house layer to be a little darker (if curves ain't a thing in that program you can fake it by creating a new layer over it and just paint a black or dark blue with opacity really low) just to cut back a little on those highlights. it's a lovely piece :smiley: I really like the color choice and the layout of everything

Ardeey

@Ardeey Well I did quite a bit. I had two different layers for the jellyfish, one of a lower, darker blending of the background, and then a glow layer ontop of it to make them pop out and be affected by the play of light from the background image.

Oct '17

BlackBjalki

@Blackbarti I understand that, as I kind of thought so as well, but whenever I downed the contrast, the house no longer pulled your gaze from the rest of the light shining through from the top. So I gave myself the excuse that it's a white roofing, so it's refracting the light /that/ intensely. It's why the jellyfish are different levels, to help harmonize the piece together. I love that critique tho! I had the exact same thoughts, but when I saw it with a higher contrast, I did fall in love with it, so it's a personal preference. u/v/u''
I'm so glad you looked at it so critically, and that you still enjoyed it overall.

Addition of Apples

Apples.png1200x800 874 KB

I went ahead and changed values and added a glow of a light source and hahaha -fidgets timidly- I like more of a pinker apple than yellow one? I'm very used to Honeycrisps and Pink Ladies for my apple intake, so I thought to imitate those here. I'll let you guys use the before image you have, since we all should have the same image to work off of.
I didn't add too many tho! Clip Studio does /not/ like color picking... and sai is forever hopeless with it's selection tool.

Oct '17

I feel so so bad.... I can't liquify in clip studio, and it does not have stamp/healing brushes. So I just winged the idea as best as I could for two and three here.

You can fully ignore these, since I know they're not good simply for my lack of interest in photoshop.... -sweats profusely-

YAS ONTO THE ACTUAL DRAWING THANK FRIKK
-falls over-
Graphic designing and photo manipulation are my least favorites.
Glad to have them out of the way... -sighs in relief-

Oct '17

I already know these basics of anatomy so I'm going to jump ahead with just making sure I apply figure drawing. I know I never do it enough in the first place. Last time I did it, it took a while to get in the flow of ignoring details, and I wound up with this oldie when I finally succeeded:

l7jzi8h8.png1064x759 371 KB

So I have no clue how I'm gonna post the every day gesture/figure drawing without it being a bit convoluted in space here, so I think I might just archive links and add each day to the previous post.

Oct '17

Also, @marc your perspective lessions are on point. You are the first person to ever get me to finally understand perspective.... and I thank you so much for that...

Side note: I still hate drawing buildings but I'll do my best, as well.

Oct '17

Looking good! Yeah I used to use Monoprice but it died on me so easily. I got a small Intuos after that, and it was much better. Good for you working around your obstacles, looking forward to seeing more.

BAD NEWS BEARS

I accidentally slit up my drawing hand's index finger.
Idk how long it'll be until I can grip a pen with it [well], since idk how long it's gonna take to heal.

Good news, I don't need stitches.

I'm letting myself down big time; right when I started to get healthy and overcome these illnesses. -sighs heavily-

M'kay that's an update from this klutz; use my bad luck as a warning to yours to stay good. <3

@finny That's awesome to hear :smiley: Looking forward to checking out the assignments for it!

Nov '17

My hand isn't fully finished healing, and I've been having this unfortunate crisis about what I want to achieve as an artist, and what career I want/should pursue. It's something I've never fully looked into, with a lot of melodrama and control from my family as to what is "worth my time and what can get the most money", as problematic as that is.

I am working on making a manga, but have been a bit too anxious to start any progress beyond character images.
And to be honest, I'm apparently being really stubborn about the gesture drawings. I'll get to starting them up again this week though.

Thanks to you if you read this kinda long update-y thing I feel like I need to explain to you guys for my bad/poor interactions at this current time.
Art socializing is very new to me, despite how doing art for so long hasn't been.

ANYWAY srsly if anyone wants to chat about/beyond the class and art, I really am happy and open to doing so in all the socially available platforms I'm on, okay? For when I disappear here from social anxiety.

I'm so thankful for you guys being so open and kind. Srsly, I have this really bad school anxiety and so any sort of class thing, even online, I end up spiralling. I'm glad that this has been rather good for me so far.

Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for top-down perspective. I really like the feeling of being closed off from everything, in your own safe box.

What is anatomy?? I'll find out; I'm still figuring what sort of clothing I'm goign to put on each character... usually this sort of artwork has lots of drapery and cloth, though the characters I'm doing don't, so I'm pondering a lot of stuff.
