Thank you Suzana. I wish what I had time to post was ‘my work’ in the sense you mean, maybe someday.
OK I promised Aminuts some time ago… So I’ve begun working out the rough of this zsphere character, based on the story creators vision. I think he got a little over excited, so I thought it worth posting. I’m only working at level 3 right now, but this is rendered at level 7 with Pixolator’s dino light and shader. Yes I’m using the new Wacom Cinitq 21u - really I can’t stress this enough - get one! 
woohoo, i am jealous of the wacom and awaitin for all progress and updates!!! Looking pretty cool so far…just gotta love pix’s mat and lights!
ok where’s the next update? geez it’s been 4 hours already!
Greedy aren’t ya??!! It’s not like I don’t have 15 other things to do any given moment you know! Shheeesshhhhhhh! I’m going back to my Cintiq, my new mistress - much to my wife’s chagrin! 
hahah ok now I have to hate ya.
What only 15 other things? Geez what a slacker!
No worries…I have waited this long for my double entendre updates…will patiently wait a few minutes longer.
Well I had a few minutes this morning and tried to pull the look out a little further…
looking cool…have a question tho…is that an eye facing the front we see inbetween the horn there? wasn’t sure from the pic and since I think most dragons eyes are on the sides was curious about that…and if it is why you put it facing forward?
It is an eye and this dragon is cooler than the others. Well they guy who came up with him thinks so, I just asked him. Besides, prey animals have the eyes to the side - hunters have the eyes to the front - answer your question?
Looks good!
Poor dragon though, must be hard to see behind those horns. But on the other hand with that magnificent set he probably gets all the ladies 
I think the front shot on the image above this one shows he can see just fine. Of course, his primary sense may not be sight, I’m not sure as I have only rarely met a dragon over tea. He does seem to have an impressive set when compared to the average Ram, or Moose. :lol:
Perhaps later tonight I’ll have some more time to get into the detail levels before starting on the body.
Well it has indeed been awhile. I was fooling around with some things your not supposed to do with Zbrush and pulled my old friend up as he is monsterous in file size, surface area and he is still fully zsphere poseable. I’ll post more on the naughty thing I’m doing in another thread next week. This fella is far from finished but as a main character in the upcoming feature ‘Origins’, he is starting to take on the personality envisoned by the creator. So level 6 only, I’m about to completely rebuild him, to ensure he is cross-platform compliant. A few areas exist that are not following my rules in the zsphere thread, so I must comply.
Any opinions on this fella? Aminuts, you are already logged down as first official ticket holder - I swear! LOL
Aminuts, you will be happy to know a blog is being setup for Robert (the creator) to start discussing the back story and building the power of the marketing machine for ‘Origins’.
One of my old toon shaders, as I run through tests.
That weird line appears using certain shaders and ATI cards, we’ve discussed it before, but this is the third card I’ve tried, 3rd system, second platform. Zbrush and ATI and certain Zbrush materials seem to have issues.
It’s alive! …and I almost thought that this little guy got lost somewhere in the antartica. Good to see you’re back showing your model in a non-experimental way -that was supposed to be a compliment 
What happened to the body? Or is it the old hidden trick?
Hope it doesn’t take another 6 months to see this fella again 
PS.
I still remmember what you said about the bifocal view -frontal vision- that the predators have -most of they anyway-… had that in mind with Ezequiel 
Hey man, how are ya?
Body, well of course he has a body, but that is the area with the not so symmetrical issues that Zbrush is supposed to prevent. Ooopss!
Great stuff Jason.
cool!, looks bit like a fractal.
f you didnt already know, the odd line thats appearing on the render is caused by the “occluded ambient” material setting.
At first it looked like a sheep from Chernoybl…but now I see what’s happening. Cool!
ha! sorry been a bit busy lately
looking interesting so far, Jason! I eagerly…I mean…patiently await updates as each post gets me more curious of course! and now we know the source am ever more curious to see how things go.
please do post the link to the blog once it’s going.
hmmm suddenly i crave some good old fashioned rock candy…gonna have to make some now…good thing I am patient
oh yeah…crap i forget now what setting in materials creates that line…someone…maybe jantim posted a hint about it in the troubleshooting thread a few light years ago and i narrowed it down back then but have since forgot…shoot…if I get a chance i’ll try to find my notes on it…but don’t hold your breath waiting.
oops perhaps nevermind…i believe erklearbar is correct on that one…it rings a bell.
Thanks guys about that line thingy. Been so long I forgot all about it. Will beat it out of my system.
Sheep! Oh yeah, you can be the first one Pride to get up close to this little lambchop! The rest of us will ‘egg you on’ from a safe distance, very safe. :lol: And we will tell great fictitious tales of your demise and bravery!
Erklaerbar, you aren’t wrong, I’ve always had a bent for fractals, since way back at the dawn of time and the first computer I built, a Steve (WOZ) Wozniak special kit!
elarcano, yes remember that if they are looking forward, on earth at least, they are predators in general and quite often in fact.
Thanks odhinn.
I would like to get this guy done this month as I have several more characters to get worked up and my schedule isn’t getting lighter. I will be posting them here in various states, and in near final look on the blog Robert will be handling. Poor bugger.
Please pardon the fanboy level of praise…
ooooohhhh! pretty…
