This is a character from a short I am currently working on with some friends. The base model is by Josh Burton. I am doing the Zbrush sculpting.

Still a WIP as the body is still unworked. Just wanted to post the progress for everyone.
Thanks for all the help!!

Wow, it looks nothing like that kid in the movies.
You know, the geeky kid that does magic … What’s his name?.. lightning head… 
Nice model.
Good luck animating him, especially with the shoulders.

Thanks : )
From the prelim render it looks like the shoulder animates fine, I still need to tweak the subdiv settings to get the finer details tho and add a bump.
looks great, I like the back of the neck, any particluar technique, to get that rhino/elephant look?
Im working on a triceratops.
Thanks roguenroll,
I used a combination of several techniques I picked up from the incredibly talented artists on the forum, mainly alpha stencils in PM and the deco brush with all the settings dialed down low. Check this link

for some more info.
I found also that creating the craggy skin texture in PM I could get a better effect if I accentuated it with a very low set inflate brush.
Otherwise, I used a lot of techniques from traditional clay, that is definig big forms first then working down to the details letting the larger forms support each successive pass. I like laying in details then pushing them back with smoothing tool then pulling out the ones I liked, then attacking it again layering on the detail instead of trying to pull it all out in one pass. It took a lot of getting used to to apply the same workflow I am accoustomed to but I think I am on the right track. I still think that he may be heavy handed but I will dial that down as I extract the maps, since details does tend to be lost when you are rendering.
Thanks Again!

cool I’ll check that out, I think it looks great, not really knowing the character, must be in the newest movie, I havent seen that one.
But, from some limited experience it seems that texturing will dull down the detail, so being a notch or two ‘heavy handed’ will ‘I think’ even out at texture time.
Good stuff.
