  • 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

  • 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!

Hello hello! I am Corey "Xemphait" Grosz and I am starting this topic to house future postings of my assignments.

Before I get to assignment stuff though I wanted to share artwork I have done to show my starting point. There is a good mix of drawings from reference and drawings from imagination.

This is Em, an original character I use for various tabletop games. She is a huge source of inspiration for me and the primary subject for a lot of my art.

I have spent a lot more time with pencil and paper than digital, and I still gravitate that way due to comfort...

I have done some digital stuff, most of it was done on my phone (Samsung Note series):

Last I wanted to include the best illustration I have done (I can't believe it has already been a year since I painted it :frowning: )

This last piece took forever... but I think it turned out great compared to all my past works. My goal is to be able to produce more stuff like this (hopefully better!) but be able to do it in less time.

Nov '21

Welcome to the forums! These look great both your pencil and paper and digital. I was surprised you do some of those on a phone because I wouldn't have been able to do that personally based on the screen size and how tiny your movements have to be. can't wait to see what you learn and make in the future.

Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Production 1 - Assignment 1 - Digital Pen Control

I tried this exercise 3 times on my Microsoft Surface with Photoshop using different sensitivity and smoothing settings, once on my Samsung Note 9 with Sketchbook, and once with pencil and paper.

Each of the 3 on the Surface were the worst :frowning:, what is shown above is the best of the 3 done on the Surface... I had the brush smoothing at 25% (the first test was default at 10% and the second test I did 0% since Marc says we shouldn't use it).

I am pretty disappointed at how jittery the lines are on the Surface. At first I thought maybe it was because of the smooth glass, but the Note 9 is smooth too and I didn't have nearly as jittery lines.

Also, the Note 9 did a much better job knowing when I set the pen on the screen and lifted it off. The Surface had a lot of late-starts and early-stops on the lines, which I CTRL+Z'd and redid each time.

Last, for the circles, on the Surface the start and the end of the circle rarely lined up (probably related to the above).

When starting a new piece I tend to gravitate to pencil/paper first, then my phone, leaving the Surface last. Maybe I already subconsciously figured this all out...

Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Production - Assignment 2 - Image Adjustments

Overall I think this went well. The last part was rough though.

Fun fact, I have a bit of colorblindness (I already knew this).

Checking the RGB/HSV values for #1 the middle green is pretty far off. I brought it to my wife and she can see the difference between the two, but I can't :frowning:

I put a little something together to help me understand where I struggle to tell the difference in hue:

I blotted colors 5 degrees in hue difference apart from each other in a long line, and noted where I couldn't tell the different between two blots. Green is really bad for me so I tried escalating the difference in hue to see if I could tell the difference... turns out there is an area that even at 40 degrees apart I can barely tell the difference.

I just try to stay away from colors that are close to green (they are ugly in my eyes anyways :wink:)

Are you using the surface pen or are you using a graphics tablet by either Huion, XP-Pen, or Wacom? If you are using the surface pen I would try to get a graphics tablet

Nov '21

Yeah I am using the Surface Pen... I have tried going to a few stores to test out a real drawing tablet but none of the stores around me has one on display.

Nov '21

you could try to order one online, like if you have access to amazon at a good price, if you use the surface as a tablet to draw then a screen tablet may be what your more used to but if you don't mind getting used to the disconnect between looking at your screen and drawing not where your looking a graphics tablet is a good buy. I would recommend the Huion HS611 graphics tablet. Its also healthier for your sitting posture as well if you can get used to it. I would love to have a large graphics tablet but they only make them at the largest 11x6 compared to getting something 22"

Nov '21

I had this tablet before I upgraded to a screen tablet for the bigger size

Nov '21

For me, none of the stores around me do this either they have them available to buy in some stores but not for you to try out unless its an iPad or something similar

Which screen tablet are you using now?

I am between a Kamvas Pro 16 (4K) , Kamvas Pro 24 (4K), or possibly going all out on the Wacam MobileStudio Pro to completely replace my Surface.

It's unfortunate not being able to experience what it is like to use these firsthand, it's a lot of money for an unknown difference.

Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Illustration - Assignment 3 - Combining Images

I wasn't very passionate about the "dream house/castle" idea... so I went a different direction with it while still being about "combining images".

Choosing artwork with varying art styles and different lighting directions made it so I had to do a bit more than just image adjustments and spot healing. I had to repaint lighting on the bike and the girl to fit them into the scene better.

The final result isn't perfect (why did I leave the birds in the sky while it's raining? where are the clouds? lol) but if you don't pay too close attention to it, it looks pretty neat.

I really want to skip these basic photoshop things (I have used these tools before) and get to anatomy and gesture... but I am trying to be diligent about the class. I paid for all of it, after all.

I am using a Huion Kamvas 22 plus, but if you want to 4k go for it. I don't really see it as much as a difference it's fundamentally the same experience but its a change of how the screen feels to draw on imo as well as color accuracy. I would go for something based on desk size I made mine fit because I have a very large desk so think about the space that you have to spare. I also feel like you could the same or a better experience with a Huoin or XP-Pen in terms of quality compared to a Wacom(price wise), but I would go for an external display tablet so that if one thing breaks in the tablet you don't have to throw away or fix a whole computer. try watching reviews on each one you are thinking about before buying to get a sense of how they are.

I know you brought the full course but If you want to get to anatomy and gesture you don't have to go in order or watch all of the videos in the program. You can skip to where you want to go and come back to the earlier terms or lessons if you need to polish up on your fundamentals that's what the course is built for. It also can work as building fundamentals until you get to the stuff like anatomy and color slowly so that you have a solid base which makes the rest of the later stuff easier to grasp. I would still recommend watching the relevant videos though just to see if you can get any tips or pointers from them. I spent a day or two on the skeleton exercise in term 1 because I was used to drawing forms in 3d somewhat, so if you know things already you can skip those if you want to get to the stuff you don't know yet. Its your course you brought with your money use it how you want

Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Production - Assignment 4 - Selections, Liquify, and Heal Stamp

For the last two exercises I tried going the opposite direction of what was shown in the demonstration video, making the older picture look younger and trying to make the girl have the proportions of the alien (nightmare fuel!)
