elarcano-Hey, thanks man! Always good to hear from you.

veedubb- thank you, the skull is kind of a mark left by the ixies… evil fairies! They are the bad guys in this little game I’m working on.

Mikeporetti-I appreciate it man thanks.

pixolClay- Thank you, I’ve been meaning to make another script and post it… I guess I better get on it.

ThaoLe- Thank you!

Plakkie- Thanks!

"Great Snail ! " ,Jeff…you have a very recognizable brushstroke style …lots of sharp-edged thin -layer details…must be hard to find a material and a texture that does not destroy all that work !
Looking forward to the rest of the characters in this story !

Like others have mentioned, great simplicity in your style. you put detail where it’s needed, and didnt stick texture all over the thing just because you can. Good stuff :+1:

#11

jantim-Thanks… yeah the texure typically covers most of the subtle details. It’s all good though I have fun doing it :slight_smile:

Art-Machine- Thank you, yeah that is something I’ve noticed a little in this forum. Some people go kinda crazy with the surface textures. It’s just a matter of opinion I suppose. I just like to see the forms and structure a little more myself, but I make sure I use it when it’s needed, like the bump on the snails back. Anyway thanks again.

Very nice sculpt Madmac! :sunglasses: :+1:

#13

That’s a very interesting creature :slight_smile: Love the fine strokes!

#14

Precise and elegant - Bravo !!! :smiley:

madmac,

Freakishly beautiful and mezmerizing.

Is the uniqueness and quiet mastery of your work a side effect of some uber brush or plugin you’ve developed for ZBrush, or is it simply you being you, working only with the factory-made brushes?

Any links to tutorials you’ve produced or previous answers to, “Howdjya do it?” questions?

Arghhh! How did you do it? :smiley:

What demands must be met for you to record tutorial DVDs of each of your sculpts? :slight_smile: I’m already waiting in line for the series. :cool:

Thanks for posting and even considering making a script, and congratulations on the amazing snail.

Looking forward to the game, if only to watch your artwork squirm and slime across the screen. :eek:

piz- Thanks man!

undoz- Thank you!

Kaizer_Soze- Thanks!

ravioli_rancher- Thank you very much!
I just use the standard brush… nothing fancy here.
I don’t know the first thing about making dvd’s, but as soon as I get some breathing room I’ll make another script and post it in this thread :slight_smile: .

Here is the textured version… I probably should’ve put some more love into it, but I just ran out of time. Hope you like it.

Thanks again everybody for the great compliments!

Hey Mad, I hate when time becomes a tyrant and doesn’t allow you to finish things… specially when it’s you! :smiley:

Man! This is good Mad :+1:

Say, I know this might sound like a dumb question but what do you do for a living and how did you get started with ZB… and where can I steel your Super ZBrush powers? :roll_eyes:

Looking great Mad :+1:

PS.
If I’m not wrong all you have to do is press record whenever you model in order to make a script :roll_eyes: … just though thinking out loud :smiley:

PSS.
Damn! I can’t vote again :angry:

#18

Wow! Very cool shaders especially that of the body! :wink: :+1:

#19

Reminds me of Karl Yost pottery.:+1: :+1:

So give us a hint on the texturing…layer brush, custom or standard alpha, what? Where’s that begging icon? :smiley:

madmac,

You have the oozing mitas touch with the standard brush. Definately something extremely magical going with your sculpting. :grimacing:

I was being greedy when requesting the DVDs. Maybe, instead, for Reflexive’s next game, you can get them to code a Shockwave or Flash “Sculpting with Madmac” app. :smiley:

I imagine everyone in the forum is eager to watch as many scripts as you have time to record.

Great painting pass on the snail. The shell colors are beautiful. :sunglasses: :+1:
