  • 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

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

  • 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!

If you are under the legal age of majority in your country of residence on February 26, 2017, but are over the age of 13 years of age and a resident of the United States of America, or a member country of the European Union other than Spain, or the United Kingdom; who is least 14 years of age and a resident of Spain, the United Kingdom, or Russia; or who is at least 15 years of age and is a resident of the Republic of Korea; and one of your parents or legal guardians must submit a signed, written statement that they have read, understood and agree to these Contest rules with your entry, and that such agreement constitutes acceptance of these Contest rules on behalf of you and themselves.

We are well aware these restrictions are a huge bummer for you guys who are not eligible but strict laws on contests and various international shipping limitations mean we simply can't comply with everything unless we dedicate a big team to handle it, which we unfortunately do not have.

Note that while you might not be eligible, there are always ways to have a friend or family member in an eligible region enter for you.

Questions & Answers

Q: How do I apply?
A: Go to the Forums, find the WORLDS Challenge in the Art challenge category and them choose either the 2D or 3D subcategory. Create a new topic to post your art there with the right naming format. Take a look at how other participants did it. All of your progress pictures should be in that same topic. All final work in one post if you can.
No need to submit your entry to Cubebrush via e-mail.

Q: I'm posting an image in a correct (or even bigger) size but it gets resized down once uploaded. What should I do?
A: You need to make the file size smaller - either make the image a bit smaller, or compress it a bit. When all else fails, simply attach it as a file.

Q: Is there a limit on age / residence?
A: there are unfortunately some restrictions - see above

Q: What’s the deadline?
A: The deadline for the WORLDS Challenge is on October 17th 2017 @ 11h59PM PST. Late entries will NOT be considered.
For the exact time remaining check the Main WORLDS Challenge page.

Q: Is "Fanart" permitted and can we use another artist’s concept for 3D submissions?
A: Original art only!

Q: Can I use another artists complete concept?
A: Original art only, and the art must be your own - all of it.

Q: What's the maximum canvas size?
A: For now there’s no limit on maximum canvas size but don’t go crazy with the size. Keep in mind that it has to be uploaded on the forums.

Q: Will traditional entries be accepted as well?
A: No

Q: Is Collaboration with 2 or 3 people okay?
A: Yes BUT ONLY for the 3D category. 2D artists must enter solo.

Q: Is it okay to have a mix of sci-fi and fantasy?
A: No, you’ll have to choose one genre.

Q: If i want to participate in both 2D and 3D challenges, do I have to make two separate concepts ?
A: you can enter once in 2D and once in 3D. You can enter both but the entries can't share anything. They both have to be unique.

Q: Can I use 3D models / textures and photos and paint over them?
A: As far as 3D and photo textures go in the 2D category, it needs to be hardly noticeable that you used them in your final submission. For example, you can't have the textures do most of the work in 'rendering' your final illustration. Essentially, 3D can be used as a base to get the sense for lighting / forms / perspective, but not visible in the final (you can paint over it, though).

Q: Do the 3D models have to be game models with UV's and normals, etc?
A: It's not required for submission! If you're able to showcase the model with textures and everything to present it as you'd like, you're set!

So happy finally the WORLDS Challenge constest started. I have many questions about the 3D part: 1) Has the environment a polygons limit? ; 2) Are we forced to use concepts from the previous contest or can we create new ones? ; 3)
As a team, have we to write the names of the people who compose it? ; 4)All team members must be registered on Cubebrush? ; 5) The environment has to be filmed (working in game engine) or can we just take a screenshot from the rendering? ;

Jun '17

Are we talking stylized only in regards to the 3d environment or do we choose that ourselves?

So sad, Indonesia not in the list... i wanna join, but my country is not eligible. Btw, Singapore, Malaysia are close enough to Indonesia, why Indonesia is not included? Thx

Jun '17

Really want to take part in the contests, but... any chance of adding Kazakhstan to the list of countries? :smile: I mean, you got Russia, Ukraine and Belarus there already :wink:

I only have one (two-part) question:

If we're badass enough, is it possible to enter both 2D and 3D challenges, and win both top prizes?

Or would winning 1st place in one challenge hinder one's chances for 1st place in the other challenge?

I'm truly asking here. Thanks.

Jun '17

Guys, i want to ask. If someone else enter for me, it means he or she has to start the topic here, doesn't it? So, after he or she have posted my first topic, could I continue that topic from my country? Or has he or she always to post in every new progress/ comment?
Thank you.

Jun '17

@jerome you can post everything yourself and from your account - only in case you win, that person has to state that she / he was the one who entered and will receive the prices (for you).

@henfan haha, well you certainly don't lack confidence! :smile: there is no rule against it, so I don't see why not. The entries will be judged based on their quality, not on who made them.

Jun '17

I'm first time challenger, so I have a question about genre. Does Fantasy mean that my world could contain different unicorns, fairies and dragons? =) Thank you =))

Jun '17

@Cheshirka Welcome to the forums! Yes, fantasy means anything that deals with magic - including unicorns, fairies and dragons! :smile:

Jun '17

In a team that comes from a land beyond the legal boundaries, does everybody need a stand in or the team is represented by only one ''legal'' person if the team win? And is it wise for 3 persons that want to buff their portfolio with the contest to be reprensented by another in case of winning? If it is officially by someone in Ontario but on the artstation of someone from Quebec, it could be problematic

What is the style of work? I mean, should my world look realistic or like cartoon scene (with handpainted textures)?

@lethaos you need one person in a country where Cubebrush is allowed to ship the prizes to. if it's a person from your team, and they are willing to ship your part of the prize to you, you're all good.
You will all be named and credited properly in case of winning. The representation is only an 'internal' administrative thing between your team and Cubebrush.

@Cheshirka whichever you like best :wink:

Could anybody here download the World logo? How to download that file btw? In my pc always appears a notification which is said i am not a "hello user".

Below i copied the confirmation message

You are about to log in to the site “cubebrush.co” with the username “hello”, but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.

Is “cubebrush.co” the site you want to visit?

Then, when i clicked the OK button, it would direct me to another page. :frowning:
