Hi, first post, please be gentle.

I'm a big fan of your work. Your creatures have a lot of character and are extraordinarily personal and heartfelt.
And illustrating your own stories must be really absorbing, and that just translates to the viewer.
Keep it up!

such expressive creatures and critters! nice job

[kokoro]

first time i see your thread, boy i missed quite something... your work is amazing, each character is so well developped, believable, and also carefully modeled and textured. the poses and expression alone tell stories, wonderful ! so glad you were finally able to upgrade to a newer version of zbrush, me too did this only quite late, and it is fantastic to explore the new features since z2...have happy zbrushing, i am sure you will surprise us with further great characters :-)

Thanks for the kind words! Before I write my books I always sketch the characters first, so I know what they look like when I'm describing them, it also help to bring them to life and make them more real for me. Zbrush is now doing that in a totally new and life like way.

This is a character called The Wandering Smith, he's a travelling tinker and a fugitive from the evil Queen of Faerie. Here is the sketch and then the zbrush head. If I had time I'd do the rest of the body too.

I'm really enjoying your works, creativity, and use of ZBRUSH to express both.....Luv that drawing in your last post...Always great to see great drawing skills...didn't lose any of that great character that you captured in the drawing, in the sculpted and rendered version..Excellent...
Really looking forward to seeing more updates in here...Keep up the Great work..

Great work Robin, and good to see you here. Missed this thread until now - can't think how.

Here's one of an army of slimy creatures called sluglungs who live in the caves beneath Hagwood.

He's a bit angrier now.

Not had much time to get any zbrushing done lately. Today I tinkered with an old character and changed the face a bit. Can't decide if he's better with hair or without.

Cool Punch or is it Judy? Anyways I like it. I like it better with the hair.

It's a Punchinello Guard from one of my books. I think Judy would be even uglier. This one is called Captain Swazzle. You think hair? Okay, I'm not certainly not going to argue with your opinion!

Thought it'd be an interesting challenge to do a building. Learned a lot whilst doing it!
