Quick warm up painting from this morning. Based off the last ZBrush sculpt.

Had a go at the weekly challenge over at ImagineFX.

Brief was to design a poster for a missing fantasy creature.

Tried out some hard surface sculpting in ZBrush.

Really enjoying the hard surface stuff - it's something I really want to get the hang of since everything I do looks overwhelmingly fleshy. Do you have any good tutorials or advice for it?

Cheers, and keep up the awesome work!

Thanks Anna.

The main brushes I used for this were, Clay Tubes to build up the forms, dam standard for the cut lines and cleaning up the main shapes, hPolish to smooth out the form and Pinch to help sharpen the edges. You could also try out the Flatten, Planar or TrimDynamic brushes but I found hPolish worked best for me.

It also helped to start with Dynamesh with a blur setting of 0 and Polish checked, that way when you remesh it doesn't smooth everything out and you can start to block in the forms a little easier.

You could also check out these brushes I found just as I was finishing this http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread....ost1006730 I've only played with them a little but they seem to work really well.

I'm still just learning ZBrush myself so I might be doing it all wrong but I hope you find something useful in there.

Anthony Jones did a great demo on Livestream on how to add textures to a ZBrush sculpt.

Here's a couple of my crappy attempt.

They look all great, when did you started on zbrush? This is really inspiring :)

You sculptures and their designs are really awesome !

Each time I try to do something in Zbrush I always had to struggle against a sort of clay slime monster that finally ressemble nothing afters hours of work

[Ste Flack]

Thanks guys.

Your sculpts are so cool! So much variation. I assume it's just some Zbrushing stuff but it's still super sharp. Lots of creativity here!

[Ste Flack]

Thanks Tyler.
