Birdman find a treasure… Zbrush all 3d, compose cinema4d + photoshop (my first time… with cinema4d and the normals maps…)
This concept is no the original concept but in one test render in cinema 4d, i “see” a good new way. This image is the resulto of this new way.
Well i begin a full new image in zbrush… all is made is zbrush… Normally this image will be more complex because have more elements in my head ;)… and i ll try render in cinema 4d or only polypainting, render zbrush and photoshop…
