Wow thanks for all the fantastic replies The book will be called Zen of Zbrush. For those of you asking for a video, for the book I’ll also be making an orated video tutorial walking you through this character. It will be somewhere around 2 hours, probably a little shorter. I’m not sure exactly when the book will be released but I will update this thread when a release date is final.
I’ll try to reply to each of you individually:
@The Namek: Thanks dude! There will be a video tutorial that comes with the book
@Scrybe: Thank you! I did indeed retopologise. When I was still searching for forms I used the sketch unified skin to make a concept sculpt. Then I retopologised.
@Palafoxx: Thanks man glad you like!
@d100763: Hey dude glad you like it Indeed for the book I’ll be covering everything, and including a video tutorial. Here’s a bit larger closeup of the back:
