ooh these look great! the guy making a barrier is pretty cool!
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?in24.3k
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!in48.4k
thanks hes my OC made him a long time ago hes been through a couple renditions he was going to be the mc of a comic i wanted to write a long time ago but choose to hold off till i was better at art haha 
these first couple pages where accualy a redraw from the original 
these comic pages are super old I just found them on my drive haha
Ooh the comic looks great!
tho one thing that i keep wondering is,.... how does he open the door outwards if there are no handles xD with the way he was placing his hands i thought he was gonna push it in XD
but overall looks cool!
is his friend an angel since he has a halo?
is Rowen an angel too or does he just have an angel friend?
He's pushing the door out its like a swinging door i guess im not too sure like i said i made this thing over 5 years ago so most of what i drew here is questionable also im still working on the backstories of the characters so im not 100% on what i want to do.
does anyone else have this problem. I can draw fine on paper and cam come up with ideas super fast but when I draw on my tablet on photoshop i just cant think of anything and anything I do draw I hate and it doesnt feel right.
Ha! That's great man, even if it was done a while ago, it's fun to go through. If you get back into doing it, I'd love to see more!
Regarding ideas when drawing on paper... I'm actually the opposite, when doodling on paper I'm not sure what to go for, and when I start I can't correct it, so I kinda leave it behind, but on digital, I can look up references and adjust the image as needed, so I enjoy it more.
I think it's just about whatever you feel more comfortable with and to practice stuff to get "inspiration", for example:
1. Keep an idea notebook. Ideas come at the craziest times.
2. Do a low effort creative task, like doodling a thumbnail, or trying to write a simple back story for your image.
3. Create a routine. Marc mentioned something similar to set some time a day for creative work. It doesn't have to be too intensive, just 10 minutes to brainstorm is more than enough.
4. Learn something new. It can be as simple as watching a show, or researching about a theme than you are passionate about, like, history of comic art.
5. Appreciate other's work. Personally, I've found I've recieved a lot of ideas and learning lessons from feedback and just from watching other people's art journeys here.
There's a lot more, but just practicing some points to get the creative juices flowing is bound to help.

hmm im a bit more the opposite since i can't ctrl z on paper lol
Perhaps start with some random prompts.. like if you wanna draw something epic, then think about the character, the pose, the bg, the setting, the story behind the scene. I find that a lot of drawing is just coming up with the ideas.
I used to have the hardest time coming up with what to do for the bg cus i'd have an epic idea and start drawing the pose then when im done with the character im like oh shiz what's the bg gonna b XD
Nowadays i think about the backstory of the scene and draw the rough background first before i draw the character
If you just wanna design something without drawing poses or characters, think about:
- what is the function of the item
- how does it work
- can it transform
etc.
yea I do have art inspiration pictures saved on pintrist to give me ideas but I think your right in saying that you need to work wit what you are comfortable with I think i just need to get into digital a bit more make myself more comfortable. As for a routine I've actually been trying to draw everyday at least 1 image that I like hoping that i don't burn myself out. I've also been very inspired by everyone on these forums this has been the first time in a long time that I've been drawing this constantly. maybe I should start on paper then go to digital.
I think its the fact that I can crtl z my work that make me undivisive but maybe that's just me. I don't really have an issue with an idea I always have what i want to draw in my head but i can never put it to paper or I don't have the skill or mental knowledge to draw what I want, but I think that is fixed by getting better at drawing. for example the drawing below I had to erase a bit because I could not get the pose I wanted in my head to transfer to paper so I just decided to go with something else that kinda captured the image in my head. I kinda wanted him to make the hands like Vegeta does when he does final flash but I couldn't find a good reference to draw it quite right
Didn't have too much time today so I just practiced 4 point
Good grind man. For the 4 point perspective, I'd recommend to bring the top and bottom vanishing points a bit lower, closer to the character, which will give you a more defined 4 point style perspective for it. When you pull the vanishing points further, it "stretches" the perspective so to speak, in this case it barely applies the angle to the character.
Granted it's a rough exercice and the main point is to understand how the figure angle changes along with each vanishing point added. As long that objective is met, that's all good.
Nice sketches
That's pretty interesting. Is she sitting on a ring watching a black hole?
