that hair looks pretty sweet, I’ve been searching for a way to go about doing a very similar hairstyle for a female, so any insight into what you did I’d really appreciate it!
Looks good man.
Your process sounds much like mine 
I haven’t found a way to make hair that wold be completely satisfactory either, but “for the time being” I use clay (with lazy mouse on) to create volume, and then pinch to refine it a bit. At the end if I feel mazohistic I use super small stanrard brush (also lazy mouse on) and make bazillion strands of hair (zadd and zsub).
Btw, great choice for the character. WH 40k is excellent for pracitcing because it has everything you need to know in one place (from anatomy to mechanical armor parts for hard surface, and a ton of little trinkets for everything in between)
Keep it up, I’d love to see her done

Hey you three, thanks for the words
Ok well I hear ya about having little tutorials here and there to show off processes and I definitely like to see those myself so I worked up a couple of shots of the process of that, any questions or specific interests that I didn’t touch on please let me know.

i could see the two arms rotating down from the gun body , unfolding like a sniper rifle or like a machine gun bipod,
Ah good idea Turchik, I didn’t see it like that but yeah I agree. Also, bookmarked that gun site for reference. Can never have enough, thanks.
cool man glad you like,
no, can never have enough reference
Lots of Zbrush action last couple of days, so much that I dream about it when I try to sleep, which is actually pretty annoying. :lol:
Some work on her corset:

on the corset piece how’d you do the zippers, whats your alpha on that? cause the zippers look perfect.
The hair piece looks good, and I like the method you described. That will probably be helpful.
The corset looks good too. Though as a fashion I don’t see it going anywhere, except maybe to comic cons.
thanks fo the info on the hair making process - will be helpfull indeed
and great job on the corset and bolt gun
she’s gonna kick some serious heretic and xeno ass small_orange_diamond:D
Thanks for commenting guys, glad you could find some use from the hair method!
BillyT I used the best zipper brush I’ve ever found called…zipper brush. It was made available for free some time ago here on this board I’ve kept it forever, probably still online for download, yep here it is http://karmakat.ca/downloads
Works great when you “backward engineer” how he made the alpha and make your own in the same fashion using depth grabs. Sweet brush I must say.
Here in this post I’ll share a method for quickly sculpting some interesting things with some photos to show of the workflow of that process.

Great tips, and awsome finishing, love it . 5stars ;D
Thanks for the tips! Looks really great!
awesome, thanks!
Wow thanks so much for the tip and walk through. cant wait to try it out.:evil:
great tip
however i seem to be having issues when trying to subdivide the polycount goes up but the slider in the tool says i am on level 1 still .
after you make your alpha 3d do you make this a polymesh 3d so you can subdiv? or do you just draw it out and then make it a unified skin?
@Tyrellcorp: I make alpha3d but I don’t subdivide that ever. I immediately make a unified skin, append that skin to the alpha3d and project. Then I work on the projection as the base, subdividing that afterwords.
Here’s a model I’ve been working on the past two days, from scratch, started off as a zsphere base, just working from my imagination to create a cartoony/game style character to get some skills with texturing mostly:

Textured only the stone foundation and the wooden plank far, going to be a very long project I’ll do piecemeal as I go along over time, all in good fun. Sister of Battle is still in WIP status, took some time to mess with this other stuff here.
