I’ve got to ask … is this going to be an “hobbie” project or is this an commercial project? Are you intending to print and sell it through a comic publisher?
Being able to wear the writer & artist hat’s is a difficult thing to do. When do you predict this project will be completed? Would you consider farming some of the modelling work out to quickly build your asset base of models?
I would hate to see this project not completed! You have really developed an excellent opportunity here for further growth with the use of ZBrush. Maybe the Pixologic developers could get behind you and develop tools that could enhance the comic book illustrative production pipeline, as it would be an extra string on their bow too! The tools I could imagine would be more facial-expression driven morph targets, and a library of humaniod poses. Yes, kinda like the Poser application I guess.
Sorry - 100 questions! I just hope you have the financial gain to complete this project? Clearly you have the motivational incentive with all the support this community is giving you!
Looking forward to seeing more examples!
