Very nice painting work … and I love her expression! 
Hi Marsyas
This is coming together just beautifully - really great use of Zifs and well thought out use of SubTools also - Loving the progress on this one
Your texturing’s starting to look spot-on, too 
Will the fire beneath the cauldron have smouldering embers or fire? SMOKE!! Now there’s a challenge
cheers - wonderful work!
Chris
Haven’t said anything in a while, because there was nothing but “Me too!” to say; its all great!
Just one thing though: the eyes are out of focus. Tweak them to point towards each other just a bit. After all, the focus of her attention is very close.
Cheers,
R
More work on various items.
The log was a real pain to paint–kept layering colors using different cavity masks to try to get the right effect. The bark was sculpted with an alpha from a photo of tree bark I took years ago. I’m fearing the tree in the background now…
The liquid in the cauldron probably won’t be quite that bright, but it will be a light source in the final image.
dustbin1_uk: Thanks! Coloring is probably my favorite part. Just takes a while to get there… You’re probably right about the arm. Partly because the sleeve doesn’t tunnel back properly.
piz: Thank you!
Atwooki: Thanks! Yes the fire will be quite a challenge. I’ll probably make a separater render pass for it.
Rory_L: Thanks! You’re right about the eyes–I’ll be tweaking everything after I merge all the tools together.
All the pieces of the Puzzle are reaching the right position… eh? 
Your modeling and painting are comng along prettty good. One thing though, I don’t know if it’s because you’re not finished or not, but do you think it might make things look better by blackening up the ends of the logs and rocks a bit to show soot?
It just seems a bit too clean or unless the fire was just started.
Coming on very, very nicely. It looks like you’re almost ready to start putting everything together - looking forward to it.
Great work Geoff.
The stylization of the girl is beautiful! Very rich yet clean and simple. Keep up the amazing work.

I played around with lighting to get a sense of where I’m going. Lots of bits still missing and unfinished.
Also, I’m already using all 8 lights! Definitely need many render passes for this one…
piz: Slowly but surely.
-WOODY-: Thanks! Yes, good point, I’ll be touching up on everything after i have everything in place/in one tool.
Dondemaker: Thank you!
garyhanna: Thanks!
I really like this one! Can’t wait to see the end result. Great documentation on how each piece was made as well.
Awesome work
“Lots of free time” - I’m so jealous!
Great scene this should be wonderful.
this is comming along very well. well done…
Really nice light test Buddy… I think it will be a very cool setup in final version, I love the green light source from the witch’s cauldron
I like so much! 
Great work!
Dem bones… Turned out less stylized than the skull. I was experimenting with details a lot–something I usually skipped in the past. I don’t think the difference will really matter in the final illustration though, considering size and lighting (as you can see in the additional scene test below).
Btw, anyone else stop receiving thread updates in their email?
It’s Alive!: Thank you!
Blaine91555: Thanks!
ThaoLe: Thank you!
piz: Thanks, piz!
alonso varela: Thanks!

That’s some great modeling and the scene looks great. Just a suggestion: If you’re dandy at Photoshop, it might be easier to paint in the flames for the cauldren rather than model it which is VERY tricky.
BTW, the green ooze in the pot looks strangely delicious! It reminds me of some kind of mint pudding lol. Of coarse I’ve never tasted mint pudding or have seen it available at my local grocery store or thought to ask someone privately if such a thing exists, but if it did then that’s what it would look like.
It’s totally Wicked, Awsome Test! Very, Very Good Buddy! 
Also… yes, I received regularly the update of your thread on my account…
Have you noticed that some emails are missed? 
I think you should contact some people like Aurick…
Again Very nice Wip Marsyas!
Very, very nice work!
Lovely bones and great pose!
Thought of having any green drips hanging off the hips or ribs?
I think fairly realistic flames could be achieved all just in ZB, without recourse to PShop, if you use the smudge tool.

Some work on the background elements and another test.
-WOODY-: Ha, thank you! I’ll definitely be touching things up in Photoshop. I’m gonna -try- to do some of the flames in ZBrush but might not succeed.
piz: Thank you! I stopped receiving updates to all the threads I’m subscribed to a few days ago for some reason. Changing my email seemed to fix it though.
dustbin1_uk: Thank you!
Rory_L: Thanks! Yes, I’m gonna try to add some drips, maybe down the sides of the cauldron too. Gonna give the flames a go too.
