WOW!!!
GrandMaster... as usual !!!
You must do only one more thing...record a Zscript from start to end of the next image... ;) ;) ;) and send it to Zforum.

Thank You

very nice work , stevie.
Looks like you changed the shield a lot in the textured version.
My question would be , how you make the clothes fit so nicely every time. I never get it right , but I guess it takes practise :)

[MrBraun]

Only one word bro: FANTASTIC !!!! :D :tu: :tu:

[gummie]

Wow, this barbarian is really awesome, just some tremendous work. :) I really like the texturing you got on the legs, you blended it out darker and it comes across well. The bottom right, especially you could swear it was painted.

But ack, so many objects, how do you not get color leaking and such? Are they all on separate layers?
I also agree about the clothes :tu: but I know there must be a technique for making things fit around other objects, I just haven't been able to find it. :tu: :tu:
Fantastic work. :)

thnx for the update ZR!! another great piece painted to perfection :tu: :tu: :tu:

Bravo. :tu: You couldn't be in the highlands without some rain. Physically I think this must be based on the Scottish Canadians or Scottish Americans. Those left after the clearances are a wee bit mair stunt't.

The rain is a great touch and adds to the sense of movement.

[PusGhetty]

It turned out awesome bro!
Love the rain and intensity of this piece!
Take care,
Michael

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!

[juandel]

thats one kickass 4 shader material, Stevie! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: squared!!! mucho appreciated!

- juandel

[gummie]

Thanks for the material, Stevie, this should come in handy. :)

EDIT:
I made some modifications I hope you'll find useful. Lessened the blend and tinkered the 1st shader amounts - it picks up the color better, closer to the one you have in the palette. Makes more happy colors. :)
Hope you enjoy. :D

Hi Stevie, I am always wandering what is the actual 1:1 size of the picture, I mean full scale? Thanks

[ztevie-rae]

Hi User,the image res 2500x3000 originally.

[ztevie-rae]

Edit

[zerebrom]

... took some time to catch my breath ;) , but here is another question: any postprocessing to your pics (first of all AA)??
I never get rid of these jagged lines without the use of PS in addition to ZBrush for antialiasing some parts - how do you manage this??
Thank you (and: yes, your pics are great - I like the greyscales most :D !!!!)!!!

[ztevie-rae]

Zerebrom : I use the AA/Zoom then take it into PS ,like yourself.
This is the best method of smoothing out those jaggies I know ,bud .

Cheers,

Steve.
