Great tutorial and inspiring work. With the invention of UVMaster, Pixologic should now set it’s sights on AutoRigmaster, which would allow the creation and export of a universal rigging system, including face and hair. In the meantime, your method seems to be working fine. <img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”><img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>

rbarton - Thank you This is very helpful. Congrats on such nice models too! Until now I hadn’t wanted to try and tackle character posing. Now I’m eager to get to my next project:)
O/MI: No problem dude!! Just glad I could help. Just remeber Pay attention to your layers when sculpting. It’s easy to forget what layer your on and add sculpting to the wrong layer.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Glad you all like it

So I am scanning zbrush central for some reference on clothing and I come across this awesome model. It looks great, then I see RBarton and I realize I know this guy! Great work Russell. Every time I see anything new from you, it is always a step up from your last work. You are constantly improving and you most defiantly have a level of quality in your work that I hope to obtain someday.

Thought it was Malefitcent from Sleeping Beauty right away. Had to go back to your first post to confirm it though. I love that since she turns into a dragon you gave her the Asian twist. I think since she’s Asian an outfit with more of a Chinese or Japanese feel would be better, not that this looks bad in any way. It looks more European though than Asian.
Yes this is Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. I put my own spin her.
