…landscape on the reflection!
great design, very original looking suit and proportions great work.
Hi All.
Thanks for the kind words.
I’m glad you enjoyed the suit design.
I guess I’m doing something right then :lol:
Today I post up Norman…
He’s an old familiar for you all that know my work.
He was originally created during the ZBrush 3 Beta testing.

Awesome. Any chance this has Norman Rockwell influence? I love his stuff.
Fantastic Work Man!
very cool works dude !
i think the last old guy could be a little bit more pink or red in his skin color .
keep them coming
yeah i rememer him! grate to see him finaly textured!
cheers!
The guy in Aqua World looks familiar
It was great getting a little face time with you at Sigg, it honestly made the trip worth it for me. Watching you, Scott, and Magdalena do your live demos was both inspiring and humbling. I can’t wait till I get that comfortable with anatomy. I got some great tid-bits just loitering at that booth. You ushered me, kicking and screaming, to my ZBrush “ah-ha!” moment, and for that I’m eternally grateful. I still remember the first email I wrote you, where I was basically dissing z-spheres before the class even began, and wanted to use max as much as possible…in a ZBrush class. Now I love z-spheres. I want to put them in a pipe and smoke them like crack…or mix them in with my garden salad or something.
Listen to this guy, folks. And remember, foundation is king.

Mater…is possible to have, in a new gnomonology tutorial, a realistic human head video? It would be nice…or something like Norman
really cool textures. Great sculpt and paint!

Great interview, Cesar. Also, congrats on the spot in Scott’s book. I just got it the other day and I’ve been pouring through it. Very exciting stuff!

I actually watched two of your tutorial demos at the show. I love your work and work ethics for artists to be artists and not rigging/technical masters. We just want to create art! You were great and very influential for me to get into sculpting with digital clay myself. I was exactly like you with the fact that I HATE pushing nerbs around in Maya and wanted to speed up my workflow and just be CREATIVE. I dove in last night to learn the program, play with the alpha brushes and sculpt my first monster from the zbrush demo head. I was up until 1:30AM and couldn’t stop myself. Zbrush is so addicting! You were right that it is just like clay but without all the mess.

Anyway, I really wanted to ask you about something you went over in your demo. You referenced that you had some killer Alpha wrinkles and pores that you got off of the zbrush central website and you used them in your demo at Siggraph. I think you said you used some of them for the Norman model too. I have searched for over an hour for them on ZBC and can not find them anywhere. Would you be able to send me the link or what to search? I would love use them myself in my models.
Thank you so much for your time. Keep up the killer work.

Glad you enjoyed the demo. I had a blast doing it.

Hi Kupo, wow… thank you for the plug. Believe me you all inspire me everyday.
I’m thrilled if I in some small way can return the favor.
Today I give you, “Wolf Blood”.
Sculpt and textures in ZBrush.
