Learning Zbrush - Let's build a dragon!

revois · Feb 2016

Hi guys! I've been learning zbrush for a couple of weeks now, and I'm now taking the plunge to try and build something without a tutorial! So, naturally, I'm making a dragon. I'd love feedback as I go! Thanks for looking!

I started off with Zspheres, which I think made an adaptive skin from. I've been moving and sculpting the mesh for about 4 or 5 hours to get this result.

After texturing and retopologizing, I think he's done! He's about 6k polys.

This is pretty good for an early model. Some thoughts,
It would be nice to make the pose asymmetrical. Also, at the moment it doesn't feel like the hands are making contact with the ground on your last image.

@neilberald Making the pose asymmetrical is a really good idea, don't know why I didn't think of it earlier! And you're right, the hand claw things are up a little high. Thank you so much for your help!
