Hey guys! I’m Tom Lishman (CRYart) , long-time member of ZBrush central (mostly lurking!) and I thought I would share with everyone some work I’ve been doing for both clients and in my own time!
A little about myself: I’m a self taught ZBrush artist from the United Kingdom. My first freelance break was through these very forums when I received a PM from Michael Gulen from McFarlane Toys! He saw some of my personal character work and asked if I was interested in developing for toys, and as a result I was thrown into the toys and miniature industry!

First up -
Fantasy Flight Games
One of my previous clients had put me in contact with one of the art directors at Fantasy Flight Games. Over the past year I have been contracted to sculpt various miniatures for some of their boardgames! Entirely sculpted within ZBrush and rendered in Keyshot. These are a few I’m allowed to show!
Because these will be printed and cast in plastic, the edges and designs for the characters have to be thick, big and bulky so details withstand production. Hard edges often get softened by the end result, so extra depth and extra definition helps make these figures pop!
Final figures are edited both by myself and the team at Fantasy Flight, hence the differences between renders and photos of the final figure!
