Scared Silly Entry by Thao Le

[cinnamonstix]

3 was my fav. But for silliness I think 5 for sure! It totally works!
5. Yes 5!!

I still like #2 the best (as for the B&W ones). If you prefer the hanging scene, I would go for #5. They are all good of course, it's just a question of which is better!!

[chemeleon]

I'd have to go with #5. 2 is a close call, and I kinda like the action in it better, but everything just seems to pop out a little nicer in #5.

This is just AMAZING stuff, ThaoLe

I lean towards #5 for its simplicity of composition & the more overt 'silliness' factor
that is apparent in the characters' gestures & expressions

#3 is a chasing hard on #5's heels though; Hmmm.......!

All-in-all: awe-inspiring and top-quality character work

Hello zbrushers,
After colected all the votes from everyone's reponses (BIG THNKS), and also my favorist one, I have picked the final version. This has been a wild ride for me. Alot of hard works on this one and most of all, I have learned so much from this. ( I will post what I have learned on here later after I colected all my notes).
The reason I picked this one for my final entry is not just only from most everyone's favorist but to me it depicts about this challenge about: Scrared, Silly, Composition, Lighting done by zbrush. To me, Zbrush is well known of creating details for monster and characters, but still have a big question mark about if it can handle and create a scene, composition, lighting just like other package. I just want to find out and see if I can go for that. After almost 3 weeks with lot of hard works, I have found out that zbrush not just a great software which can do those things but can be used to compose and touch up like photoshop as well.

Modeled, composed, lighting, touch up (thanks to Shaddingenhance and Highlight brushes) are all done in zbrush. The only thing use Photoshop for is zaplink for texturing and create the backgound picture (silhouettes trees).
The composition are done by 9 layers in zrush included the background picture.

Thank you and good luck everyone!
Happy zbrushing.
Cheer
Thao Le

I love this scene, so much depth it really really does feel 3D...if you know what I mean?

So many good entries this is one of the top.

Great work, ThaoLe! Love the zombie closeups.

Congratulations ThaoLe, it looks really good. It was also impressive how many different versions that looked almost finished you managed to push out in the last day or two.
The best of luck to you in the voting.
