  • 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!

I finally reached to the character design class. And oh God I watched it like 5 times mainly because i couldn't come up with a hero shape. And then i realised what I was doing wrong.
I just couldn't define the character I was going for. I was like "well, ye, fantasy female character, cool.. maybe she'll be a warrior, maybe she'll be a mage.. whatever..." - and honestly, having these kind of thoughts only made things harder for me to make up some hero shape.
And when I noticed what I was doing wrong.. then everything became easier.

I decided to go for a Steampunk Bandithunter guy.
I first collected the pictures that I liked and I turned it into a moodboard.
Then I came up with a hero shape, applying all the details that i though would be cool to have.
I tried to do the thumbnails but I didn't really want to change the silhoutte that much because I don't want the steampunk design look too crazy, so I did what i did.
And then after playing a bit with thumb-s I just went for my character and mixed everything together.
I do feel a bit stiff still doing this kind of process. (theme - reference - hero shape - character)
But, hey, we all start somewhere :smiley:

So here is my character design roughly sketched here and there. ( i think he needs a coat\jacket)

I really like your hero shape. I'm looking forward to see how your character will turn out.

There's one thing that I noticed though, and it's that your hero shape is a round shape and has a lot of curved lines. I feel that so far we don't really find those elements in your design. Now, I'm saying that as someone who's still in the earlier terms, so it's possible that I have the wrong idea of how this whole assigment is suppose to work, but maybe it's worth keeping in mind :smile:

One thing that helped me was practicing silhouettes' with just nude figures around 20 at least. Then pick four of your best and start a theme with a mood board. Try not to overcomplicate your design too much.

@cedricgo, thank you for the feedback! i am not sure about hero shape either, i hope i'll finish this piece till the stream and see what marc says about it xD it's too complicated for me.
@luke_james_kid Oh! i see! so you mess around with shapes and then you come up with the further ideas and mood board! that's a nice advice, thank you a lot :wink:

So i changed my hero shape a bit more, because it's true that i dont have anything completely round so the whole idea with it is that the guy wont have anything spiky in his design.
So here we go.
I rly hope i finish it before tomorrow <_>

quick update with a simple lineart. i dont aim for clean lines coz more likely it will be covered anwya :smile:

3 months later

I love the shape language of her clothes. It's really cool and unusual.

Hi, I like how this character seems more designed than your previous one; not that im saying your previous design isnt good, its just this one looks like your ideas have been developed more and there is a clearer concept, while not looking over designed. The value work and clothing is very well done - all the materials read as separate materials and the detail work is very good.

If i was to offer any critique it would be the legs look a little bare and unrendered, but this could be that you haven't finished working on it yet. Either way good job, would love to see a full illustration with this character.

@cedricgo thanks :smile:
@alex_fucile thanks! Ye at the picture above I haven't finished the leg part yet.

So I spent quite a long poriton of my day jsut trying out different things with leg design and arms.. so idk.. I gonna leave it like this for now and see if I can come up with a better design decision as this one I dont like so much.
Maybe i hsould try different posture for her so I can make a better type of weapon but for now I am stuck with this one :>

I suck at drawing poses... and i could really find any reference that was to my liking.. also i dont really wanna go super mad with poses coz i plan it to be as a concept not an illustration but id say this pose is somewhat more interesting.. although i dont know.
I might draw the heels later and probably change the hands haha :>
I dont have much time to refine it more as I leave for couple of days.. maybe i will come up with better options for her..
either way, please let me know is there anything I could improve about it in terms of body position?

I think your onto a winner with the claws - they really drive home the flower like elements, almost like thorns or barbs. I like it. Also did you use a Edward Scissorhands reference for the left hand, I recognise that kind of pose from the film.

Your pose is fine, it isn't too flashy but also gets across a the characters more elegant qualities.

The pose definitely looks more interesting, even though it's only a small change. The only thing I think you could change is the leg you moved away. Right now it seems like her knee is bending outwards a little bit. I'd do something like this to correct it.

I hope that helps. I love her design! :smile:

Been enjoying watching this one develop on the streams EchoJK.

As far as that pose goes, basically standing with the weight on one leg and the other one stretched out, you have to think about her center of mass and how the tilt of the hips will change. The frills on her hips having such an accented horizontal line makes the hip alignment stick out.

The hip of the extended leg will be lowered and the standing leg will be bearing all of the weight.
This selection from istock has some poses that are very similar to what you are doing here that will help, note that the foot the women's weight is on is almost always centered in line with the body, very similar to your initial pose (Which I rather like btw the ballerina pose goes wonderfully with the outfit)
https://www.istockphoto.com/search/more-like-this/464608352?sort=best

And as far as poses go, if you are at all interested and havn't heard of it, there is a program called DAZ3d that is basically all about posing 3d models of people, I have used it sporadically to get quick mannequin poses to work with, its quite helpful and has basic tutorials that will get you far enough to pose the model and then move it to whatever 3d software you are most used to working with.

And I like the big black claw hand idea that you have here, it strikes a really different note from the rest of the image, perhaps have her right hand in a "come here" position and the left hand outstretched like you have it now.

Also love the hairstyle you have given her. Overall this is a very fun design.

Haha! thanks! Although i didnt use any reference, i just threw in a bunch of strokes haha. Maybe this Edward's picture is embroidered somewhere deep in my brain haha :wink:
Coz ima hairdresser and I know how to pose with scissor hand xD
