zbrush test

[evillair]

Started playing with zbrush a few days ago, started doing this skull test to get used to the program.

This is what I have so far...don't mind the horns, they are bad.

Going to continue working on it for a little while, see what comes of it.

You have veins growing on the skull, which makes it look more like half skin/bone.

If you look at photos, it is more fine lines and cracks. Some parts start to take subtly different shapes, such as the top.

I know yours isn't human or realistic, but these might help give it a more bone look to it.

good start man :)like kami said you need to work with the veins lol. In projection master you can add subtle texture to it by making a simple grayscale height map and pasting it around. Neato!

Yeah you're right, that's why I need to add some muscle stuff so it's not veins on bones, cause it looks weird even on a fantasy creature.

I might make it half skin half bones with the skin area tearing off or something.

thanks for the input
