Behold the power of two programs. This is a ZBrush and Photoshop collaboration. It took me two days to complete and allowed me to play around a bit with some new techniques.

List of Objects

3. Sword: Done with Zspheres
4. Clothes/Jewelry: Done with Paintbrush

PS Work

More will come later from your friendly cat lover. :D ;)

This is my favourite of your pictures, very good. I like the vibrant colors :tu:

[drjjwow]

one of my favs as well .. awesome rendering.

[tishinina]

Thanks everyone :) Yes, this is my favorite too. I think I am improving as well. This is way better than my Cheetanya image, which was my first :D

You're really developing a strong style - elegant forms and beautiful saturated colours. I normally tend towards a more muted palette, but I think your bold hues work extremely well in this latest series of images, culminating in this which is a clear favourite. :tu: :tu: :tu:

As a fellow cat lover (I was "adopted" by a neighbour's cat who moved in with me and now rules the roost) the subjects also have personal resonance.

You have a very unique style which is refreshing :ex: I hope you will continue to develop your individuality. Great work! I really like this image a lot. If using different programs allow you to create the images the way you wish, I think you should use them.
Well done :ex: :) :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:
DeeVee,

Thanks again, everyone. Wow, I am so happy with this image. It looks so cool! http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1037498921mox.gif (I hope I don't sound like I'm blowing my own horn. I don't mean to be.) ZBrush is such a great program. Before, I would have used Poser + Photoshop and have to do a lot of smudging around before I could get the default humans to look the way I wanted. But then I stumbled upon ZBrush. At first, I was only going to use it to make morphs for Poser, but after seeing all the things it could do, I totally fell in love with the thing http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1037465031dnw.gif There is so much power in ZBrush and when that is added to Photoshop, it's pretty much invincible! (lol) http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1037465475vab.gif

Top image Tishinina! You seem to love those *****cat people, don't you! You certainly don't need poser anymore either, Go girl! :) :tu: :tu: :tu:

Ps - those cat icons are cool!

(lol) Cats rock, I must say. I have always loved them since my first pet Onyx. Then I got my current kitty who is a little fireball. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1037465031dnw.gif Well, aanyway, I was thinking about adding a Step-By-Step tutorial for this image since so many of you like it so much. I have to get everything together first. Tell me if it sounds like a good idea. I can make if you guys want. Okay, I'm off to church now. We will see what the future brings. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1037498921mox.gif Meow! (lol)

[Flycatcher]

Yes please, Tish - a step-by-step would be very welcome.

And thanks for the chuckle with those cute little cat icons. I think they should immediately be added to the "Instant Graemlins". :D

[Rafael Hernandez]

Nice image. I like the lighting on this one. Keep making more of these cat people.

[Northstarr]

Well, I couldn't resist telling you that I am also a majour cat lover too! I like this image very much but I really like your little cat icons as well. What an ingenious idea! I wonder if I could make one to look like my Himalayan cats?? :p
I will be watching for more of your "feline" work.
;)

[Digits]

Just had to say how much I enjoyed your fun and imaginative tutorial, how refreshing!

Again, I would be interested in your light setup. Go to your light palette and save it. Then perhaps you could upload it here on this thread so we can then see how it works at home.

[MrBraun]

Fantastic work !!! Tnx for sharing your tecnique tishinina !!! :D :tu: :tu:

Lol. I'm glad you all like my little kitty icons. I thought they were cute. Well, here is my light setting. Enjoy! (I will be posting Part II of this tutorial later. Maybe today or tomorrow). Bright_Lights.zip (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_file-1037879134yfw.zip)

Cooooool Image tishinina,Fresh and creative.

[filament9]

I really enjoyed reading thru your tutorial. As refreshingly done as the artwork itself.

Pilou :cool:

[Flycatcher]

No need to apologise for the delay - especially when you come up with a tutorial like this. It's a work of art in itself. Look forward to Part II.

[zerobugetgamemaker]

great job both on the piece and the tutorial so far.
