Hi There a superb model I love the insect world truly insparational stuff 
MY GOD!!! That Mite is unbelievably amazing.
Great stuff.
Insect models/renders are killer

sorry about the sizzling in the ant video, I will need to re-render that at some point in the future.
your bug/insect sculpts are truly amazing! the mite renders really caught my eye. nicely done.
I just finished reading your book a couple days ago. I gotta say, very well put together . especially learned a lot from the render and texturing/polypaint sections as those are still things I have to pay more attention to.
Hey all, yes it true I have not logged in to ZBC for a while but I have a great excuse, I have been busy! three new books covering ZBrush 4 R3 from Paul Gaboury , Scott Spencer, and yours truly (Eric Keller). I had the pleasure of editing Scott and Paul’s book and I contributed a chapter to Scott’s book. Check em out!
Scott Spencer’s ZBrush Creature Design:
Paul Gaboury’s Professional Tips and Tricks:
Eric Keller’s Introducing ZBrush 4: Third Edition
Here are a bunch of images I’ve been meaning to post from various projects some more successful than others… These are all ZBrush renders. Only the demon in the dragster had any photoshop editing.
Lets see if ZBC will let me upload more… Some of these are rendered in ZBrush, some in Modo
cleaning out the garage…
I’m going to redo the legs and wings on the big orange fly.
Awesome stuff in here!
My biologist friend asked me to render a photo realistic image of one of my ZBrush bug models to see if we could fool a certain famous entomologist. It worked! I alos told my apartment manager that I found this in the bathtub, really freaked her out. I had to whip this up in a few hours, so I know it ain’t perfect but it’s still fun.
ZBrush+Maya/Vray+Nuke. Textures are all Zbrush polypainting.
Working on an animated version but I don’t want to post it until its closer to perfect.
I will be giving a talk along with Scott Spencer and Paul Gaboury at the ZBrush User Group meeting Monday August 6th (technically that is today, oh crap!). I spent the weekend creating a tutorial based on the model in these images. I will discuss new features in ZBrush 4r4 and alos about some of the scientific visualization work that I do using Zbrush. Remember: it’s not art if it doesn’t hurt your eyes a little.
Hey everyone! pleased to announce my new DVD through the Gnomon workshop on insect design and modelling! The DVD takes you through the process from original concept in ZBrush, through sculpting, polypainting, export, and final render in Maya/VRay. I had a blast making the DVD and I hope you enjoy it here are a few images of the render as well as WIP:
