@MrBobarian @jcg yes & yes
(if it's not forbidden in the rules the answer is most probably yes :)/
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!in48.1k
haha thanks, I was confused about one of the points mentioning it but thanks for making it clear !
@MrBobarian hmm, actually, let me re-answer that. For some reason I read it as in - 'can I use photos as texture' but now I'm seeing it could mean all sorts of things.
What exactly are the other sources? If the question is if you can collect & use other people's work in your models, then the answer will have to be no.
Hello. I have another question, it's about the 2D category
Is it ok for my lineart to be traditional(drawn on paper) while everything else digital?
Yes you can have your lines be done traditional.
Guys I am new here and I am really confused about how u submit your entry. I am entering for the 2D one. The rule says something about submitting it to your topics first post. Can someone guide me step-by-step. That would be highly appreciated.
I'm sorry, I'm kinda slow at this heat conditions (it's about 95 F in here), but how far rule about post-production goes for 3D contestants ? Can I make fog via ZDepth, some color correction, etc? Or this rule just like "no fake new geometry" one? What about sky backplate, is it allowed?
And what is judging criteria: only design matters, or technical aspects also will be considered, like texture sizes, polycount, etc?
Thanks.
what, now Im confused again. So I cant eg. download a ground texture from Poliigon and use it? Do I have to make every single texture myself?
Acolet, sorry to write this as a reply, I'm new here and I'm afraid that I don't really know how to use Forum as it is supposed - I posted some sketches for this challenge but I'm not sure how to that again in the same post. I just do Reply over and over again and that's the way I upload the rest of my work. Please help me if that is not the right way 
Also, it doesn't seem that get any interaction with other members, is that the problem? Tnx
Hey guys 
@mgadiali214 Welcome to the forums! You just need to go to the Worlds 2D category and in the right upper corner you will have "New topic" button. Create you topic (with the name according to the Rules) and post your pictures there! Use the "Reply" button to make new posts in your topic.
That's all there is to it. Your final image should be posted there too.
Be sure to read the Submission Requirements also.
@Bohdan_Lvov Here are the Submission Requirements for the 3D category.
"Everything has to be 100% 3D with only minor post-processing." means try to do as little as possible (some color correction is ok though).
Technical aspects are not important in this contest.
@obra-kalla Hi, it's super ok to write as a reply, that way at least I get a notification to know someone's needing me
That is exactly the right way, and you are doing everything right.
As far as people not replying - sometimes it's hard to get attention in a sea of other contestants. Commenting on other people's topics and making friends by supporting other people in the competition is usually the way to change that!!
@MrBobarian "The art must be your own - all of it."
But you know what? Just to make super sure, I'll verify the textures and get back to you.

@MrBobarian so I have an answer for our 'grey area' problem, sorry for the delay.
It is ok to use downloaded textures / materials, as long as it's implemented well enough that nobody can tell.
Hope that clears it out once and for all

If i live in Quebec can I still enter to gain exposure and possibly get a job? Or am I prohibited to even enter and make a post about my environment?
We can't force you out of the contest 
If you're uneligible to participate and still do, then you're technically disqualified for not following the rules, but if you don't mind then be our guest!
I was so pumped up about this contest but now I'm really confused. I live in India. And it's not in the list of countries. I read your reply saying I can post everything from my current account but have to state that someone else (in this case, my friend in an eligible country) won the competition, so you can send the prizes to them?
Is that right? Or is it the other way around where I have to create a new account with their address and then clarify that it is them who won the contest?
But the moderator just said you can still apply even if you are not in the list of countries. I'll be disqualified if i'm not from the list of countries?

Which measurement do we need to use when creating an image? pixel/inch or pixel/centimeter?
