Diet of Worms - Zbrush sculpt

Diet of Worms - sculpted in zbrush

Here is the complete 'Diet of Worms' sculpt I did.
Remember years ago when you were a kid and your mother had to give you a worm-dose? Tasted like puke,but if you didn't take it you'd have intestinal worms wriggling about inside you...and for a kid growing up playing in muck and hearing that scenario you'd gulp down that vile liquid as quick as you could!

The intestinal worms thing inspired this pic... as well as stories (true or not?) of weird diet supplements that contained 'worm eggs' that would hatch and grow in your stomach, consuming excess food and keeping dieters nice and trim. The trouble, as I see it, would be what happened when the worms kept growing and getting larger and larger? Pretty soon you'd end up like the odd woman above!

Sculpting with Zbrush, rendere with Zbrush BPR, renders composited in Gimp.

I left this one for a few days and came back to it refreshed. The 'worms' in the early versions were a little underwhelming and unimpressive. I decided to go full retard with them and make them much, much larger and almost snake-like(as you can see)!

This model may better suit a more subtle render in subdued  colouring rather than the style used for some of my other latest pieces.
As usual I'll add updates covering progress as I go along.

Following on from the previous post here is another update on this work-in-progress Zbrush sculpt.

I decided a fat head was'nt enough so I said "what the hell!" and went along and gave her a body to match as well.

This is turning out to be one of the most enjoyable  sculpts  in Zbrush I've yet done.

Btw, the title 'Diet of Worms' will become obviously apparent in the completed piece :)

Work in progress image of 'Crazy bitch', which I'm making in Zbrush.

Inspiration came from a well-known great mugshot image of a mad-looking woman with really bulgy eyes I saw on the internet.

The main face is practically done and now it's a matter of detailing and adding the other elements like tentacles sprouting from her mouth, etc.
