- 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?in24.2k
- 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 youin1.4k

- 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!in47.9k
Oh hello there. Oh wait...Marc said that I shouldn't flirt with others characters!
Crystal theme! Love it. Can't wait what you'll do with these guys. Will the dragon be translucent, too?
I have to work kinda the whole day today. But I'm gonna do some studies in the evening and try to work on my challenge a bit, too. And I still need to prepare something for the LiveStream as well.
First off it looks really awesome and I love the idea that she can shape her tail into differents forms.
I think the deltoids of her tail (wow, that sounds weird XD) are a bit too flat and the different sections of the abs are kinda the same size in your image, whereas in reality they differ in size.
The deltoids on the main character look okay to me. Maybe the trapezius would reach up a bit higher towards her head.
Hope it helps and makes sense. ^^
Ahahaha! @IndrawnArt the goal is to make him very flirt-worthy. Too many pretty girls in the stream already And yes, the dragon should be full translucent, the guy—only partially where transformation starts.
Looking forward to see where you go with your sea creature.
Guys what a progress @WeirdOwl I was waiting something not sea related, you made me proud of you hahahah that's a great idea!! Also a man, finally HAHAHAH we want him super sexy please
And @ivancatamora15 great ideas!!! I love the idea for the face, super creative!
Guys this will be a great challenge
As @chiara.arcidiaco said it already, I want to say it as well....make him super sexy!!! Wohoooo!!!!!
Hello friends
I'm new here but I'd love to join if it's okay!
It's not super original, but reading @WeirdOwl 's description made me really want to draw a jellyfish character!
Here's my brainstorming so far...
I'm having trouble trying to figure out how overlaps of body parts work in a translucent character... Where do they end? How do you shade? Hmm...
Welcome to the challenge @chrihoonart! The more, the merrier.
Jellyfish would be super cute! I like your sketch at the top right corner. As for shading, you can go anywhere from light translucency (only edges shine some light through) to almost complete transparency. Up to you.
Shading will be tough for all of us, I don't think anyone here tried translucent characters before, that's why we came up with the challenge.
Here are the few things that could be used as helpers:
1. Art School class on Physics of Materials (Term 7, class 1)
2. References of the creatures to be mimicked. I will be using this step-by-step for crystals by @art_side_of_life (taken from Instagram):
Here's a good example of a jellyfish character from Art Station: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ybL00K
I also like the simplicity, and high quality of this one: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3LEzJ
3. If I can get my willpower together and dive into Zbrush more, I'm thinking of using modelling there as a reference for the final painting. Here's a tutorial on how to make separate subtools transparent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF3MFblYETM
Good job and lets make this challenge awesome everyone!
@WeirdOwl I'm looking forward to see your crystals!! Now I think that you're having a super good idea, so different from the others. For that I'm really excited about this haha
And @chrihoonart your jellyfish character is so inspiring!! Waiting forward to see how it turns out
Wanted to post also something that I was doing in these days
Before I was brainstorming to get some elements from the references that I found but I was not conviced at all. Then I wanted something more like an illustration, so I've done another thumbnail I think that until the end of the challenge I could change idea again hahah
What do you think? Now the challenge is to find out a good reference for this pose also for the throne haha
Also the little guys needs to seem floating instead walking on the stairs haha
But in this project I don't want to rush, just step by step and have fun with this
Ohh! I really like the throne thumbnail! Very powerful look! You are right though, if it's all underwater, there's no walking or stairs (unless it's a sunken temple). I have so many thoughts coursing through my head for this setup... You could make the visitors other sea creatures or humans with diving gear... Very good idea!
I like the sitting pose you gave your sea lady. Much more interesting than sitting up straight.
Very cool! I love how big she is in comparison to these tiny humans in front of her. You also drew her in a very beautiful pose! And yes, it can be a struggle to find good pose references. Maybe you wanna check some Game of Thrones scenes. Maybe an actor takes a pose you can use.
@chrihoonart Can't wait to see more of your jellyfish character. I'm sure it'll look awesome!
OMG I love all of them hahaha I think that I like the most the first one and the third, but I also super like the "jacket" of the forth one I think that the 1 has too much Chrystals, but he seems worried so mayyybe it's for that reason haha like they are increasing without control. Sorry it's late evening and maybe my comments are not that good hahaha but I wanted to say that I super like him
Did you give him a name?
I don't know if this could be a requirement but it can be really interesting hahah to give to our character a bit more personality
Personally If I have to choose the 3 or 4 outfit I think that I prefer the 4, but I don't know it depends on which style you want to follow. The 4 seems more like "futuristic" and the 3 seems more fantasy, maybe with a dragon is better the fantasy one.
Or maybe you can create a steam punk dragon scene hahaha I think that no one has seen it before just kidding, but I have to say that the 1 has a really good
I love the fact that the belt seems a super cool elastic of his underpants ahahah
