I'm working on a comic and I wanted to get a better sense of the characters. So I've begun sculpting them in zbrush to turn them around. Heres is one of the main characters I did last night, Gainer (also featured below on the cover of Gimbal). I'll be using these for reference while I draw the comic.
And I started with a sphere, That's right, Wynia, no base mesh.
... Of coarse the topology is a disaster...

  2. Dude, Andrew, thanks for checking out my stuff. Your modeling is awesome!
    Yeah, you're right about the eyelids. In the comic I'll draw them in. but for the reference I just wanted them out of the way.

  4. Quick question: I'm one of those people that went for a "real job" instead of art school and now only draw in my free time when The Man cuts me loose. How hard is Z brush to pick up for digital sculpting--how steep is the learning curve for someone not doing it full time? I have no plans to become a 3D genius or rigger or animator...but 3d sculpting like your head model would be awesome.

  5. Z-brush is one of the more intuitive 3D programs, but like any discipline it only gives back what you put into it. As far as a learning curve, I jumped right in and got my hands dirty. I was turning out head sculpts the first night. Here is my first attempt:
