Prisoner of the Zif

[Ron Harris]

EZ's hands, the rest is mine...like 8 layers, psp flood water,the arms was the main thing this doodling started out as. I was trying the low poly approach...had alot of seams when connect that parts of the body so I decided to put a few donuts restraints on and see what that would do to the pic..then I said what the heck and put him in chains...thnx Lonnie for all the help about layers and lights last night in the tuesday chat...it was deeply appreciated..now I too am a prisoner ;)

Well done Ron. You know I love the water :ex: I think you should at least give him a chance to swim :ex: a very difficult task with his hands cuffed. :D :D :D :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

Looks really good, Ron.

This is a nice one Ron :tu: :tu:

[Belleski]

Bravo Ron! Its a moody piece because of the expression in the eyes. The hair and the hairiness is great! Like the dry skin texture on the hands...reminds me of my own skin in mid-winter. A real step forward Ron...Well Done! :cool: :tu: :tu:

[DeeVee]

Hi Ron, are you planing on adding a background to complete this fantastic start?
Just wondering :) :D
Joe.

[Ron Harris]

ok...though I didn't plan on it, and I don't often get requests I am very honored to give this ghoulish sweetie pie a background. He has been caught and sentenced to slow death in the bottom of a well that is now filling up due to stormy weather. Though our creature looks sad, that is more hunger than thoughts of self pity for being in such a predictiment. Fortunately the local villagers didn't count on the fact the rains were returning so soon. They also didn't take into account that the walls of the dried well were quite unstable when they drove the retaining spikes into the weary walls. They will know of this soon enough when our little friends returns to pay them all a little visit in the dead of the night. Just a few more inches of rain and the terror will begin all over, except this time vengence will accompany the blood lustful hunger.

(thank you all so very much for the words of encouragement on this little doodle. I truly just meant it as a little experimenting. If any of you are interested in learning these tips and stuff like myself and the others have been then join us in irc chat on Tuesday nights. I will try to find the thread on how to do this again and repost it-as in how to use and get into irc chat. We shoot the breeze in there most fo the time and discuss Zbrush in layman's terms that even a doofus like myself can understand. Hope to see you all there. ) Thanx again for the kind and suprising comments here and for the special request :D I truly hate hogging the thumbnails..so this will be the last update ...
