some times what you need is... time sinks :)

to make something that stands out, you will have to test things and play with them, iterate on them and scrap stuff that doesnt work.

personally i would suggest to work with concept artists / 2d designers on it, you can design stuff in 3d and come up with cool styles but usually 2d guys are just quicker and push out a lot more content than you could in 3d. and even if you have something you like in 2d you first will have to make it work in 3d and iterate on it together with the 2d artists, find solutions in 3d that are easy to replicate, maybe even automate to cut down times.

if a stylized last of us was my goal, i would first of all take a screenshot from last of us and try to stylize it, work on proportions simplifying texture detail etc.

before Ori and the Blind Forest became the game by that title, it used to look like this

then it went a whole lot simpler to nail gameplay

it went through a lot of stages before it became the final vision of the game.

Awesome stuff guys! Damn impressice kitchen work Lamont.

After 2 years of a table and some extra legs underneath i am finally wrapping up our desks at home. Since first planning we added Molly to our family and she really enjoys the view so we added the stairs for her.

The top needs some more sanding and then oiling but its finally getting done

Bit of a downer to leave the thread on. I bought my version of zB in 2004, it knocked my sox off.

So accustomed their updates are useless I stopped to bother installing them.

Hmm. Unsubstantiated claims ho! I dunno when you stopped updating and what turns you on but it sounds like you missed the good stuff over the last 21 years. Nuff sed.

I'll note: teaching someone the full process of sculpting, retopo, UV mapping, texturing, lighting and rendering is going to take a while. $100 is very little money for what you're asking. You'd be better off searching YouTube for tutorials on ZBrush, Maya/Blender/Max, Substance Painter, and trying your best at those.
