The Queen in Question

[Belleski]

Some of you may remember this from a previous post...well here is the latest version.
I figured that I better post it now before we receive our new Zbrush1.5, because our world and our work is about to change forever.
This may well be my last ZBrush 1.23 image.
Soon all my figures will have arms and full bodies...(I know the fur is not perfect, but that is as good as it gets tonight.) :( http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1026964367kgq.jpg

Nice work Belleski, I remember this one from that crazy coloured version :D, how did you do the hair net it looks great! :tu: :tu: :tu:

This would be really cool to see this brought back in the 1.5 version in some form.
The attention to the fashion details are what give it added elegance.
Nice work.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I finished this project with a cast on my right hand, as it is broken. It was a little tricky, and painful at times, but I managed. That is the power of the ZBrush addiction.
Grub: I made the netting by golding some wire fence texture and taking it into ZBrush and adding pearls to it. Then I did a grab of the texture and applyed it to a model of just the hair, using transparent. This was enlarged slightly and placed over the hair on the head model. In hindsight, I could have added and alpha bump...but it seems to me there was a reason why I didn't...
Anyways, I have included the two phases of the texture involved...
This is probably not clear, but as I get more
experienced with ZBrush, I may be able to put together step by steps someday.
(For now, I'm just happy to get something done.) :rolleyes: http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1027056495kgc.jpg http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1027056525qgs.jpg

Brilliant work! The whole picture is so well detailed, and I admit I was intrigued by the hair net as well. Thank you for sharing your picture and your secrets! :D

P.S. I hope your wrist heals fast!!

Belle I love your style....you explained the hairnet just fine....and it really accented this wonderful piece.....Sorry to hear you are in a cast though....Hope you get better soon..... :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[DeeVee]

Ditto to all the above.
I thought your hand would have been ok by now. It appears as if it was more serious than when you first mentioned it. Heal fast, you need your hands!

Thanks for the info :) :tu: :tu:
