hello!i post this pict, after Ez 's tracer, because i think it’s the same subject… 
the head of the ptero is zsphere, butthe body is just an alpha; i import, but you can trace it directly in Z, and make 3d, max resolution(256) and mini(3) depth; then i mask the wings, and inflate(+9)the “body”; then inverse mask, and deflate(-8) the wings; then push pull in m mode, then trace little “veines” in z add… and voila. Friendly, and thanks to Ez for an add really well done… M. 
the tool 
maybe it’s not clear: the head, done separately in zsphere, is not, of course, on the picts above; it’s just the body-wings!!!
nice work Marcel !!!
wow…nice stuff
Can I ask how you do the painting of the textures…you have a very painterly style, and I was wondering what brushes do you use and if you use texturemaster.
thanks
talos, merci! all the textures here are painted in Zbrush; usually i export import, via texture master, but not here; ther is, after texture master, a very useful add: brushloader, by Glen Southern; you can recognize some of his alphas brushes in the wings of the ptero… Friendly M.
What is the backgroud? A photo?
background:vue d’esprit for sky and texture mapped on 3d for the ground…
Very nice, is the background, landscape and sky Zbrush? I know you use photoshop together with Zbrush alot but I would love to see an all Zbrush image from you.
Still a great image though
“unknown”, a precedent pict somewhere in the past of z central, is all zbrush…Friendly M.
excellent to the max marcel… awesome detail and thanks for the alpha.
It really is amazing the way you develop these wonderful images out of such simple beginnings. Excellent stuff!
Bravo Marcel! :eek: :eek:
