Amazing work, Jason. I'm glad I wasn't the only one sculpting both sides. Can't wait to see a 3D print of Overwatch!

Thank you for this great article, Jason!
And I said it many many times before -- thanks for all the help.
Overwatch is a hyper cool character.
Great concept/story and executed perfectly.
Excellent modeling and texturing job!

Great character!
I couldn't get the layer brush technique you mentioned to work.
I took a sphere, made a morph target, then subdivided 4 times then picked the layer brush with the dots stroke but if I go over the same stroke it still adds to the previous stroke. Any ideas?

great job, definitely was my favorite of the contest

[jp_smith]

Abberant - the layer brush even at a z intensity of 1 wasn't subtle enough for me, as I like to slowly build up layers of detail...it was just too much of a sledgehammer brush for the way I work.

abnoid - Try using the morph target on the subdivision level that you're sculpting on then it should work.

JP,

So I put the MT on the layer i was sculpting, works like a charm. Man, great tip! I never woulda figured out to use the dot stroke, that's usually the first thing I turn off. Thanks for responding.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

this guy is just plain awesome!

I love the "making of" threads too, love seeing some of this type of insight on how you and others approach the work.

congrats on top row - very deserved I think.
