[WIP] Stylized bow sculpture help

JulioCruzalta

Hello,
I hope you are doing well. I'm modeler and until this time in all my props I made a base mesh in maya and after this I sculpt the details in Zbrush. 

This time I tried to do a bow completely in zbrush but my client wants a more defined sculture, I tried to smooth the bow in diferent subdivision levels and to use hpolish in the edges but the work looks blurry. I tried a lot but the resul doesn't look better. 

I want to know if someone can give an advice for can finish this work with quality. I used an alpha for the fish scales and my client told me that he wants that quality in all the sculpture.

Thank you for your time.

You might need to drop resolution and work on getting the shapes in a lower rez before going higher. Some tools you might want to check out;

Pinch brush

Deformation > Polish, or Polish Edges

Make sure to use Lazy Mouse a lot so you can get really nice curves that don't wobble a lot.

Might also want to look into making different parts of the mesh into different subtools, and then Geometry > Edge Loops > Group Loops. That will add a strip of polygons along your crisp edges, and let you keep a nice edge.

Also check out ZBRush's Crease function, though I've not used that yet.
