Uou its crazy!
I loved his pose and expression!
Hey! Thanks for the responses to all of you!
Next I will post the wires and a small ‘making-of’ for the rendering part hopefully, as soon as I can. Thanks again!
Here’s the original concept its based on (By Samwise Dider) if you’re interested, compared against my 3D translation, of course I made it with some differences.

very nice work dude…the model rocks!!
nice model.
main thing thats wrong u can see directly in the concept art the lighning is much better. zbrush is fun to render with but it will never replace a external renderer
Hey thanks definitely maybe, loved your own warcraft orc work
And thanks Disco Stu, I agree. True I didn’t work enough with light passes from Zbrush so it could’ve been a mistake from my part, but I know that zbrush renders will never replace external rendering. Is the lighting though worse in comparison to the concept only or generally wrong even on its own merit (just wud like to know).
About the Zbrush rendering, I know it’s better in external rendering but I just did this for fun and not production or anything and I have slow PC anyway which takes forever in maya MR etc to render and setup shaders correctly and all the technical frustrations etc usually without perfect result I want anyway even, but this way, while it will never be the same as external renderer with FG GI Sun IBL etc, I finished texturing and rendering in 1 day only, maybe 2, and is more intuitive whereas it would take me weeks otherwise for external. Like I said I agree with you for sure but I chose Zbrush way for fast intuitive fun way thats all.
Man this is awsome Looks like in Blizzard style
Very love it
About rendering :
You made really good job . You can achieve almost same results with zbrush rednering as with external renderers . Perhaps you know this but if not take a look at it

Here you will find how to render good skin .
By the way how to make skin ? Just render subdermal layer and normal layer in brush and some other layers like specular and then just combine them in photohsop That is all . The result should be same as you would make it with external render .
P.S. I will send you mail soon . Sorry I was a bit busy with my texturing to write you
By the way Durakin . Have you seen this cinematic : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwIPo5x8B4s&feature=rec-fresh ? It is about Hellscream from WC3 game .
