Looks like a job zbrush could handle. I wish my machine could still run at a workable speed with all the polys that would be involved in that thing. :\

Depends on what you wanna do with it, though. Zbrush is good for two things. Making super-hi-poly things for still images, or creating normal maps for models to be used in more interactive/animated form. And the later way requires a lower polygon model to be created beforehand...

Yeh, I'm skeptical about ZBrush. It's an insanely amazing ingenious work of art, but I don't know if people know how to work with it...

on the subject off inking, here is a great article:

the finished product looks awesome too.

In my opinion that's an extremely outdated and bad way to ink. Screams 90's image comics, which isn't a good thing to go for in the largest amount of cases. I'd suggest you stay away from that sort of work especially if you're starting to learn how to ink.

What kind of inking should one steer towards?

[Helm]

why don't you check out this guy, he's done it all: http://lambiek.net/artists/b/breccia.htm

[Feron]

hmmm. personnaly i really like the '90's" style.  My grandfather was a good inker & draftsman, so i might have inherited his skills, ill definitley look into it.

that breccia guy is pretty cool, but lots of his stuff doesnt realy appeal to me.  do you have any links to tutorials that are not so 'outdated'?

[Helm]

this is outdated?!

so, do you pixel like you draw or draw like you pixel?   

[Feron]

i didn't say Breccia's work was outdated - i was referring to your comment on the "90's comic book style".  i meant: do u have any links to tutorials that are more modern/better than the one i posted.

[Helm]

I don't think if you inked like Breccia anyone would have an issue with your inking looking outdated.


I paint like I pixel.
