Still a bit more Zbrushing to be done before this guy goes into photoshop.
I’m not quite sure how I’m going to do that eggshell, if anyone has any suggestions I’d be happy to listen.
Also does anyone know where I can get information on rendering techniques, different render passes, that sort of thing?
Very cute!

PS:Eggshell… take ye olde sphere and deform/taper it to an egg. Then crate a poly model out of it. Select that egg and subdivide to your liking, I prefere soft boiled. Then shift-rotate it upright or you have jaggies in the next step.
ctrl-shift mask the part you do not wish to see. geometry delete hidden the geometry. ctrl-mask the cracks and jaggy egg-edge. inverse and hide and delete hidden. So you have an eggs shell. Now rotate so you can see the edge. store morph target, press snapshot, inflate to your liking, keep in mind that egg shells are less than half in inch thick… If happy with the inflation press create diff. Clear the canvas and select you egg which now has thickness.
Have to catch a train to work…

He is indeed cute 
… nice job.
Isn’t that image from Magic the Gathering from way back in the day?
I really appreciate the comments and help from the people here at ZBC.
Lemonnado thanks for taking the time to type that out, I found it very useful and easy to understand.
Kyphur yup, it’s the 3rd picture from Magic: the gathering that I’ve remade in Zbrush, the original was done by Amy Webber for anyone who’s curious.
Aminuts that thread is just what I was looking for, thankyou for that.
I’ll be sure to post the finished image when it’s done.
An update!! not finished yet but it’s getting there. 
Bird flu pandemic starts here:D 
Lol Bicc haha. I think it’s really cute. I’d like to poke it on it’s navel. But I guess I’d get BBQ’d for that…

Nice job. My only complaint is that the pupils are too close… try straightening them out so he doesnt look cross eyed. Otherwise. Looks just like the card.
The less cross eyed version. :lol:
There you go. Perfect!small_orange_diamond
A lovely variation on the original illustration and in many ways far nicer too.
