Mister Pointy - Zbrush W.I.P #1

click to enlarge
Here's a Zbrush screen grab of a little fella I just started called ' Mister Pointy'.

I took an old Zbrush sculpt I did ages ago and reworked it with some improved anatomy and a completely  different head.

I've also got really excited about using the Dam standard brush, which I never ever use. It really is brilliant for working in sculptural details such as wrinkles and folds.

The thing I love most about Zbrush is how you can be using it for ages and yet still discover new tricks and techniques you never considered before.

Some more random Krita symmetrical character sketches.
My personal faves of this bunch are: 1st row #3; 2nd Row #4; 3rd Row - all of them!

Blender and Zbrush working together

Here's two screenshots from Blender of two characters  I'm working on - Lord Xamachial and The Dark Prince (both still rough W.I.P's as you can probably tell)

I tend to always sculpt and render from Zbush (and then fiddle around in Gimp afterwards for good measure), but for these two I'm gonna try and do a little Blender 3D rendering.

So far the results look good (well, to me it does!)

More updates when I...ahem, update :)

This is a Zbrush character I took a break from and came back to.
A lot of things to still work on but the basics are all there.

A few more Krita symmetrical sketches.
A cool way to come up with quick character concepts.
