  • 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.

  • @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!

I am fighting with anatomy for a month now. It is very hard for me to remember where all the muscles attach.
I've managed to remember the torso quite well, including the names of the muscles. Somehow I've learned arms too.. But leg muscles knowledge is a bit unclear for now.

To be honest I really enjoy learning anatomy so far because I work out and it makes a lot more sense to me now since I know what attaches to what.

I think that i messed up trapezius again.. oh boy oh boy

Let me know if something else is off.
Feedback is highly appreciated

Ive been using this website to check the attachment points, its pretty awesome.

https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/rectus-femoris-muscle

I placed the link on the rectus femoris muscle because that is the only attachment point that I see on your leg that will change the shape that is a tiny bit off. It dives in and down a bit more than you have, and I have noticed that it makes a dimple right underneath the Ilium on most people. On a lot of "sexy" designs where the pants are meant to show the hips or like bikini bottoms I see that dimple all the time. And after writing that I realized I had an example image.

You can see that the Sartorius and the Tensor Faciae latae kinda define the top of the shape and the way the Rectus Femoris dives down defines the bottom.

And this other website I like to use to find the specific spots for attachments, the graphics aren't as nice, but they spell out the origin and insertion attachment info better.

https://www.getbodysmart.com/anterior-thigh-muscles/rectus-femoris-muscle

Hope it helps!

This is very-very helpful, @PeterH! Thanks a lot!
I will have a closer look at this!

these links are awesome. I was having a bit of a trouble trying to locate where the leg muscles attach to :blush: cool!

8 months later

The local values on the rocks look solid, really shows off the forms. However, the cast shadows seemed a bit off to me. I drew them out using the yellow bar on your right with the top as a point light and the bottom as its xy position on the ground plane. I just cropped out the floating structure, without the original construction lines I might give you bad information.

I hope that this makes sense, there are a lot of shadow construction lines all layered together and I know that makes it a bit muddled.

The top image is the corrected cast shadows and construction, and the bottom is those corrections overlaid on your image.

Let me know if this does or does not help. And thank you again for the comment on the swamp with the hags cauldron, I have to blend that much better, or even better try to find a reference for it.

Thanks for the feedback
I tried to recreate it by myself.
I don't know why my shadows ended up to be so off but the reason might be in that i did them in the beginning and didn't double check them in the end.
Either way, Here's how i measured it myself, please let me know if i did something incorrect.
As for the big shape i just assume it's a rectangular and solid at the back, yes.


I excluded the floating shape as it wasn't the best in general, I will do another attempt of similar exercise

The near one you got spot on.

The further and more broken up one I can see that the intersections between the ground lines and the light rays got a bit confused and led to the shadow being distorted. It is quite hard to keep track of all of the intersections when there are so many to check and they are all close to in line with each other.

I marked the lines over your image and left all construction lines you drew in place to show where things were confusing.

The right broken side of the object (from our point of view) can be ignored because its points fall within the overall shadow and hence we wont see them.

I separated the colors of the shadow line and the light rays into sets for the remaining 3 corners and labeled the intersection points. I find it really clears things up and reduces confusion to first draw the ground shadow direction line, and then draw the light ray line coming down and stop the light line right at the intersection with the shadow line. All the right lines were there you just flipped some of the vertex points.

I am always happy to check this stuff, it gets my math brain working a bit harder, a good break from creativity to just focus on hard reality stuff.

oh yes geometry and being focused are hard things haha
damn, i see it now, i'll try to be more attentive next time
I'll fix that right away, thanks Peter! :+1:

My highly accurate method of holding a rule up to the screen says that those ones look all good. If you want more of a challenge, move the light closer to the arc so that it casts the shadow over top of the smaller box and you have to figure out all of the top arc too.

haha, thanks.
I used your method by assigning colours to lines that form a shadow. That seemed to help me to not be confused anymore :smiley:
ooh, that's an interesting idea, I might give it a go, but no promises! :muscle:

I think I would recommend you to start with things like chairs instead when practicing shadows. It def helped me. It's because it's complicated enough to make you think and at the same time the overall shapes are fairly easy.

And I would also recommend placing the light source closer and manybe higher too so that the shadow stays within the canvas. But I saw your works and they are really great! I def get motivated by your work :smiley:

hey, thanks and thanks for the kind words :blush:
and yes, tbh i was thinking of doing some kind of interior\exterior shot to apply some light situation as it feels that i've understood how to calculate cast shadows
will see if i'll manage to develop a thing like this haha

These are some of the perspective and shadow practices I've done. It combines alot of things Marc taught into one assignment essentially. Try them out, they are really fun to do :smiley:
