Hi, i’m currently learning Zbrush3 at my university and started some fan work 
I’ve seen some amazing models here >_< !!
So well about a month ago, I started my first Digital sculpting (after some quick tests to get used to zb) 
based on ryu from sF. I haven’t touched it again(loads of course work… ) yet but I shall resume very soon.
Enjoy!
EDIT: didn’t saw the topic about images! sorry about that.
Thx! I’m quite happy with it though there is still a lot to do… and i’m thinking to maybe redo it completly, using another process.
The way I started it, was
zspheres or basemesh -> pose the character -> sculpt it.
But it seems better to do the basemesh, sculpt it and then pose the character when finished.
I’m also not satisfied by the look of his hair.
I messed up the hand, and feet, by not doing them with zspheres… thought it would be easy to “extrude” them.
And still got to do the clothes:p
a little on the rough side but i see some good stuff here. good pose as well.
I decided yesterday to restart from scratch 
but this time i used the “Super Male” template… increased his muscle structure
and decided to split into different subtools everything which isn’t skin… 
So hair is a subtool, and the bandana, the kimono, the pants, (and the future gloves, eye balls and mouth ) as well.
This time, I’m also using max to create the basic meshes I need
And I’ll pose the character once it’s finished!

The result: Much better! In less time! 
i forgot. try using subtools for his gloves and headband. it’s easier to apply materials to individual subtools than painting it.
I know that’s also why I restarted from scratch and going to do 
also for clothing try using the topology tool. there are tutorials about it online on veoh and youtube. well you don’t have to but i like the topology tool for clothes.
