Still plugging away... I want to finish up already but keep seeing little things that bug me...













Thanks for looking!

---------------------

jaystein777: Thank you!

Benjw703: Thanks!

SolidSnakexxx: Thanks, and congrats! Hope to see a pic of your print some day.

spaceboy412: Thanks! It's kind of you to say so. I really need to start taking advantage of my Modo license after this though...

SalmonGod: Thanks! That probably comes from my history painting fantasy miniatures as a kid (mostly Games Workshop stuff). With miniatures you have to enhance the details through your paint job (using washes, drybrushing, and blacklining mostly...).

Moni-Poroni: Thanks! Maybe Perseus.

Etcher: Thanks, Etcher!

I´m an ego -- as long as it´s not me, everything´s fine.

Great update! Very impressive as usual!

Etcher

Hi Marsyas! Again, an impressive update! The bow looks awesome. quote"Still plugging away... I want to finish up already but keep seeing little things that bug me..." ... the eternal struggle of an artist between his work and his mind... . You're not the only one with that problem I guess , but take your time man, the sculpt is coming along fine! I hope you're gonna' put her against an opponent ! ( Hey, thank you so much for checkin' out my latest sketches, glad you like )

Well, I think I need to move on now so here are some final renders. :P

I ultimately decided not to do any post-work other than resizing and sharpening, to keep it all ZBrush.















This just shows how I control perspective, in lieu of ZBrush 2's global perspective. Nothing fancy--just some extra subtools to change the midpoint of the whole model. I usually like the midpoint to be around eye-level for characters. The only problem with this method is that it increases the draw size of the whole model, preventing uber large renders. I used to use global perspective in ZBrush 2, as shown in this thread: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=27413



Anyway, thanks for watching!

(Yeah, I skipped the turntable and stuff--mostly for technical reasons. :P Basically I couldn't produce a satisfactory result balancing compression/size/gamma... I did learn how to use some screen capture software though, so I might use that to explain techniques later).

---------------------

GregStrangis: Thank you!

Moni-Poroni: Haha, thanks!

Etcher: Thank you! Yeah, I'm a perfectionist to a fault. :P At some point I think it's best to move on and just continue to learn on the next piece.
