Here are some of the images I've created while beta testing Zbrush 4. I hope you enjoy what you see and I excited to see what all you fantastic artists will create with this latest version of Zbrush.

Everything but the clothes base meshes were created directly inside of Zbrush 4

Thanks Chemkid!
Sorry for the confusion. The final render is a modo render using modo hair. The head and all the mechanical models were all started in Zbrush 4 using shadowbox and the clothes were first modeled in modo but posed and sculpted in Zbrush 4. I had done some Z4 hair tests but I forgot to save them out while beta testing.
