GroBoto, chwaga, Darukin: thank you, it really didnt take any longer than 3 hours. Its simply a 2.5D painting on the canvas, mixing all sorts of shapes together.
Frenchy: thanks, they dont know what they miss;)
Dude, that is so awesome! Whoa. So I saw that you mentioned hexagon in the first draft of that. Did you basically make some shapes in hex, import to zb, then composite it in the 2.5d canvas?
awesome work, can’t wait to see more from you!
thanks very much for sharing.
Super Glitcher, thank you!
James, thank you! There is some stuff like classical poly modelling that i love to use hexagon for, its such a fun to use and yet powerful application.
the feature I use very often is “copy on support” which is a very powerful array tool. Alternatively I also use Zbrush to compose forms which has a similar but still very different tool: the mesh insert tool, usually with radial symmetry.
I have tons of ZB and Hex created meshes, which I then composite together by just throwing them to the canvas, using layers sometimes. Its really a mix of canvas “dropping” and 2.5D brush painting to refine things.
next one:
WOW. I would REALLY love to make some stuff like that, could you post a tutorial?? I’m sure there’s plenty of benefit to the community if you could show us how you do that!
Too beautiful.
I’m stunned.
Really.
That’s my idea of Top Row.
Amazing work!
Wow, man. That is glorious. I especially love the second one. It looks like a painting or something. I how’d you do that, man?
Your style has changed considerably since “Schnecki”…
Nice pieces.
Schnecki is still one of my fav’s…
Don’t mess with the Schnecki!

Hi,
very nice doodles,'specially the last one.
Keep 'em coming!
chwaga, thank you, ill see if i find time and inspiration for a tutorial but i cant promise anything yet.
groBoto, thank you 
Stephenrminkin, thank you!
Quester99, thank you, two tips:
-do your canvas painting in really high resolution
-use shadow,reflection, depth and fog passes to have full control in photoshop
pride, lemo: thank you, Schnecki for the win!
jmeyer. thank you!
did some more postwork, i might redo this one as i have quite some aliasing problems since i started from a resolution too small, anyway thats it for now:
I love this abstract 2.5d work! All of my 2.5d post work is actually to further detail models for illustration. In other words after finishing the 3d modeling, I open a large canvas, draw the model in with low sub divisions, choose my angle and view, hi res the subtools with the subtool master and drop it to pixols. Then I further sculpt details that would normally make my computer explode, adjust the lighting, and do render passes. I then composite, paint backgrounds, and paint other details and effects in Photoshop. I’ll be posting some examples this week.
This, however, is an amazing, different, and very artistic use of ZBrush. Looks like a lot of fun. Cant’ wait to see more!
Oh yeah, since your good at this kind of style, check out this slick little app called Groboto. It’s a bot based software that creates crazy abstract geometry. It also plays nice with ZBrush. The guy is a ZBC member under the name Groboto, and he’s done some cool stuff combining the two, as has Meats Meier. Here’s the link:
damn this is some nice abstract work!!! really dig the last one.
Beautiful! Can we see a bigger version or zoomed in details?
5 stars
James, thank you, i will certainly look into groboto
nerveink, thank you!
acmepixel, thank you! A zoom is below, however pls bear in mind that the image is quite busy and therefore the jpeg compression is horribly visible (150kb limit on this forum):
That really is amazing! Please do the community a huge favor and show us how you made this! I wouldn’t even know where to start…
Simple… you start with a good… very good cheese fondue, and a fine wine. Lot’s of it… And then… before you realize it… there it is… pure art…
Lemo
phew, the image rotation on the second row is fast nowadays… 1 hour to drop off 
chwaga, let me know if Lemos advice worked out for you?
Seriously though i have absolutely no experience doing video tutorials, neither got a mic speaking of it. And for a written tutorial I barely see any use, its much more intuitive to view the process. Not to speak of the additional work involved documenting the steps with words and images:(
a minimalistic one:
