[Tetsuoo]

Wow... I have no word for this.
This masterpiece really show us how much Zbrush has taken sculpting to a whole new level. As always, any update to Zbrush is a revolution, now there's no doubt about it

[Zmitrek]

I'm very empressed! You might be the god of the japanese goth game industry
Big ups!

  matenzo- Thanks Mantenzo!
  
  Tetsuoo- Thank you Tetsuoo. Pixologic has really outdone them sleves with this release!
  
  Zmitrek- Thanks Zmitrek If the job is open I'll take it

Many have asked me about my process so I did a quick pinup character to give a bit of insight of how I work. I recorded the process in time-laps. I use head and hands from a previous model I did to aid the process for this demo. I would suggest if others use heads and hand inserts to use ones that are self generated. Since I made the parts I know the state the are in and there are fewer surprises, plus it is more satisfying knowing I made it and I am growing/ moving forward on my own foundation. Not necessary by any means but it is what I prefer.

I hope it helps!

Awesome Darrick ! Thanks for sharing

[MealeaYing]

That was amazing I just watched your videos and I think I learned a lot from them. The posing stuff was astonishing.

Thank you!


Cheers!

Your technique is masterful. Quick questions. Your colorations are great. Are you painting these in ZBrush, or are you painting them somewhere else.
One more if I may, as I work in Dynamesh, it seems to me that 128 setting is not dense enough. Have you found a sweet spot for setting a good
number for Dynamesh?

[Etcher]

Extremely impressive piece. I love the subtle coloring and the painterly feel of the renders too. Great workflow vids

[kaisasose]

Amazing. If I had a cap on I'd duff it, so the imaginary one I'm wearing will have to do.

branduarte- Thanks branduarte! np!

MealeaYing- Thank you MealeaYing! Clad to know this helped you out.

ArtBot- Thank you Artbot! Everything is 100% zbrush... well I did add the boarder and converted the psd to a jpeg in PS (full disclosure). With this character I started out with the 128 then when I found that dyna mesh lost some of the detail I started upping the resolution. I ended up with 256 for the body.

Etcher- Thank you Etcher! I appreciate all the videos and tutorials you have shared on zbc!

kaisasose- Thanks kaisasose!

[LordKaniche]

Really a nice render, and an awesome composition for the sisters. Is it the thing from forgotten kingdoms, D&D ?

[SolidSnakexxx]

The TimeLapse vids are really great and educational! Than you for sharing! Learned a lot from watching them!

[anandpg]

Awesome work! Thanks for the video. Very inspiring.

[rudymassar]

Hey Darrick,
Great composition of the Seven Sisters but I love what you did with your last piece too.

[laxoff11]
