Excellent work. A lot of effort went into all these tutorials. Very helpful tips for Zbrush artists of every skill level.

This is very impressive. Even more so when you see the turntable. Very inspiring.

Thank you very much for your comments and support!! Thanks for sharing too!!!

I think it´s a good idea to show a close up of the layers composition and BPR different render passes I used to achieve the bloody likeness. It could be helpful.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Btw, here is the timelapse chapter where you can see it on live: http://youtu.be/POzLC8twpJs

Another image for those who love ZBrush sculptures without polypaint. Just a BPR render in SketchToyPlastic Material, with Ao, SSS, soft Shadows and Depth. The whole Hydra and blood splatter!
