“This is my first CG artwork ! Inspired by an AI-generated concept sketch of a wasteland, I expanded upon it through secondary design, incorporating my own ideas. Applying the skills I’ve learned, I built this narrative-rich scene entirely from scratch—weathered metal, sun-bleached wood, harsh sunlight—striving to render both the raw grit of a post-apocalyptic world and the unique warmth of a tavern.”
beautiful piece. How much ZBrush did you use for this image? What other applications did you use?

ZBrush was absolutely the core tool throughout the entire creation process. I’d estimate that roughly 80% of the work during the modeling phase was done using it. Within ZBrush, I completed all the core sculpting, detailing, and surface texturing work.
I heavily utilized DynaMesh for creating base forms, Sculptris Pro for handling intricate details, and ZRemesher for optimization and cleanup.
For example, when creating the spotted hyena:
Step 1: I used ZSpheres and DynaMesh to block out the base form.
Step 2: I used the Move, Clay Buildup, and Standard brushes to shape and adjust the overall proportions and muscle structure.
Step 3: I utilized ZWrap to transfer the pre-topologized wireframe/retopologized mesh.
Step 4: I employed the Standard and Dam Standard brushes to refine skin folds on the face and body; finally, I added skin texture using alphas to complete the model.
