FANTASTIC work Moops, & kudos to Brett as well .
Thank you for the great response! I try to push myself every time I make something and felt this one paid off. It may not be perfect but I really had fun with it. Sometimes, I would squirm in my chair as I was making certain parts of their anatomy, but I could help but laugh 
Here are a couple things I did for a recent art test. The male base mesh was provided by Eric Maslowski. The van was done mainly with Shadow Box and lots and of planar and clipping brushes. Colors were also done in ZBrush with Zapplink and polypainting. Both were rendered inZbrush with BPR and BPR filters. Slight levels adjustment for the male anatomy sculpt in Photoshop. Thanks for looking!
I am also in the process of rendering turnarounds and will have them up on Vimeo soon.
Here are a few turnaround videos to go with these.

Haha awesome design, love the proportions! 
Here’s another one. This time based on a funny little painting by Julia Bax.
This is how I have my scene set up.
I think I have an addiction to finding drawings and paintings of others and attempting to make them in ZBrush
And you are GRAND at doing this… really superb
And just a couple more turnarounds

I hope it’s okay if I post my newly finished demo reel
Except for the model of Hook, which was textured and uv’d in ZBrush but modeled in Silo and rendered in the Marmoset Toolbag, everything in it was rendered, textured, and modeled in ZBrush. Click on the link under the video to watch in 720p. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words. It’s really fun to do stuff like this.
Once again, it’s been way too long since my last post. Gotta find a way to keep posting new stuff. I like doing 3d renditions of other artists work. I like it a lot. This time I picked something by the amazing artist, Denis Zibler.
