Hi Guys, I am back to Zbrush after 10 years and I love all the new features!!!
Subtools, claytube and move brush, smoothing, view port navigation etc.
It's just so much fun!

Here is the pet project I am working on Raphael from TMNT. I can't wait to add all t he detials like veins etc and pose him in some super dynamic jump atack pose

Hope you like it.

his legs look too short and his tail looks like a *****. i like where ur going with this, just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback Soulty I agree about the tail, but there is nothing I can do, turtle tail just looks like that thing... As for the legs, I am using proportions of the original Eastaman and Lairds TMNT which has shorter legs than current turtles. Original Turtles

However I may consider making it longer once I pose him, will see how it works.

As I am new to Zbrush 3.5 I was trying different approaches to posing. I tried Zspheres rigging and Transpose master but it seems I can get best results with simple masking and transpose rotation in high resolution.

The shoulders are deformed but I believe if I take more time and mask it properly it should be easy to do it right. So enough tests, I am going to finish the turtle and all the props now! COWABANGA!
