Hi all,
I’m Herizo Ramilijaonina from Madagascar, and I post here for the first time my Zbrush model. I hope that I will learn many things about Zbrush with your helps.
Realy inspired by Xiaoyu’s Pigsy, I wanted modeling a character like this but with a bull’s head, so I called him “Minotaure”.
Waiting for your comments.
I never got to travel to Madagascar.
Nice model, good proportions. Will be cool if the rest turns out as good as the head.
I hope you are not endangered, like the lemurs…
3Point14: Thanks for the reply. Like Lemurs, cg artist is here a rare specimen:). Here’s a litle update with the fur.
This model is really cool. Could you share a little about your hair technique?
The hair looks good. I like the horns. And I like the way the alpha on the sides of the neck fades out towards the centre/underneath of the neck where those stretch marks are. The wrinkles are adding nicely to the flow of the model and the direction of the skin
Like the head structure…
Agree, the horns are cool…
Please finish this, I’d like to see more…
thanks all,
for the hair I just used the standard tool with Zintensity 50 then I draw the hair fiber by fiber like shown below.
More update soon.
Good start ! 
Hair is great, just lacks a bit of volume.
Keep it up ! 
Hi,
Some update with the body. I lost some details on adding volume to the hair on the face but I’ll redo this.
I don’t think there’s an e at the end, I think it’s just Minotaur. Anyway, This is coming along well but the biceps look way too big for the body from the front. I think the problem is in the shoulder size compared to the bicep. Increase the shoulder size or decrease the volume of the bicep and you should be good to go.
The hair is looking nice. I noticed something about the structure of the back so I did a quick paint over. I hope you don’t mind.
Peace-NickZ.

ITS A MINOTAUR FOR GODS SAKE!!!..who has the minotaur blueprint this week?..sheeesh…its a beast with a bulls head…stop drawing all over this guys excellent image and just celebrate it…If you want picture perfect anatomy…go buy a camera
Herizo - I’ve gotta go with nickZ on the anatomy on the back. While ministerart makes a valid point that we don’t know for certain what the anatomy on the back of a minotaur looks like…chances are it’s grounded in reality, so having realistic human muscle structure for the upper body is probably your best bet.
Loving the work as a whole though, maybe thicker hair about the chest and a little more matted together. Right now it looks like he took a comb through it.
I’m guessing you haven’t given him a look yet as he has that “oh god…I’m in a T-pose!” look Once he’s got that evil gleam in his eyes he should really start to shine.
my 2cents.
Sorry for my intrusion, but Minister, Nick is as great an artist as you are and he is just giving pointers on making it look better, which is the whole point of the zbrushcentral forums. I am sure you too agree with Nick´s overpaint, since you also know VERY well your anatomy. My 2 Cents
And Herizo, keep up the great work, its rocking cool!
Cheers guys!
Im impressed by how youve managed to drag out the shape of the arms and torso from the neck and keep alot of detail. I have struggled when trying a similar thing as the geometry I pull out lacks the toplogy for detail. Is their a trick to such a process?
Niicee!! all the model so far is awesomee the anatomy! is fantastic! thank you so much for sharing the hair workflow!
That is all I am trying to do is give a nice pointer. It is a nice sculpt, but it has a human torso so the back structure was throwing me off a bit when I looked at it.
The paint over is just a suggestion for what it might look like with human anatomical structure. Doesn’t mean it wont be cool if the suggestion is or isn’t taken, just trying to lend a hand. (From what I see.)
This shouldn’t offend any one! If it does, then I could always just delete the post, no biggie!
nick - I’m sure you’re fine. Peeps should be happy to get some CnC from you.
If someone has a problem with receiving crits on their work then they shouldn’t be posting here…
People are posting on this forum to receive crits. In fact its part of the reason he posted his work. Nickz crit is appropriate, I dont see what the problem is. That being said pretty nice work so far. Youve captured a nice powerful look for the character, my suggestion along side with nickz’ is that maybe the hands should be very slightly bigger and also that currently the biceps bug me a little. They just seem way to swollen considering they are not even being flexed. I find that this would make it more difficult for the character to move his arms to his sides and whatnot. Thats my personal preference though, I like things to appear as though they could be functional. Overall though I think your in the right direction;)
