Love these characters! Hope you worked out your problem!
Zbrush still has some internal tweaks that need to be fixed.
Make sure you save your files continously while working, nice to see some of your work on the forums as well David.
Hope things are going smooth at Raven.
WOW!!! This is incredible!!! 5 STARS!!!
are you going to put any amanita muscaria mushrooms in it?

merry christmas 
beautiful characters, i also really like the concept sketch!
Thanks guys. It looks like I’ll probably have to do some rework on the frogs pedestals and torch. The combined file I was working on last night got corrupted. At least that is what I’m assuming unless pixologic is able to recover it for me. I’m sure they have more pressing things to do though.
I’ll keep you posted.
Sorry to hear that. 
I usually save in alternating files (like ‘a’ then ‘b’ then ‘a’… etc.) to avoid such possibilities.
Yeah, that’s a good idea. I didn’t loose any of the characters. Just two accessories for the frogman and the transposing I did on him. Probably about 4 hours of work. What happenned was that I saved the tool when all of the subtools were at max resolution. I guess it is preferrable when working with large collections of sub tools to reduce them to lower subdivision levels before saving.
I had to start over on the frog man’s perch. I think it actually turned out better. Sometimes file corruption can be a good thing…
Hey man very nice sculpts. great details. I see that Ralf Stumpfs bronze shader is becoming popular lately.
Very cool! 
Here is an assembly of the characters so far…
I included a front and a back view for good measure.
Hopefully we can keep the bronze shader comments to a minimum and maybe talk about the artwork instead…

great work, I love it!
You’ve translated the concept really well. Nice one!
Will you be texturing this or leaving it with a bronze shader? imo, it looks rather good with just the shader…
As of right now I’m not sure what I’ll do on the texturing front. I’ve still got two figures to go in the composition. I only posted the part of the composition that I had worked on to create added suspense. I’ll be starting on the 4th figure tonight. I’ll post that part of the concept when I get it roughed out.
I’m glad these models are turning out so good. It is a testament to the new tools that my first 3 zbrush models turned out so good. I absolutely love the clay tubes and rake.
Thanks for the interest!
Great stuff!
You’re really capturing and adding to the sketch! There’s a great whimsical feeling to everything so far.
No crits, just enjoying the work!
I really agree and I’m happy for your insertion in the TOP ROW!!!
Hey, man. Nice sculpts. Raven’s got some talented artists!
Just wondering if you could post some images of the models in the “relaxed” state before transpose. I want to know how far you pushed the deformations.
Thanks,

VERY nice stuff - worthy of the top row - those characters are like a magical version of wind in the willows- beautiful stuff 5 stars.
The design of the Frog is amazing xD
Nice work!!
Wow just love all your little characters. Stories unfold just looking at them. What a wonderful world your imagination resides in. Keep bringing these characters to life.
