Zbrush Practice - New to Zspheres

Valandar

Finally found the time to actually sit down and watch the tutorials on ZSpheres, and after parsing the info, found it a LOT more informative than I had expected.

So, I opened the proggy, started playing around, and ended up with this:



The intent is a larger than human, froglike humanoid, very similar to a Slaad from AD&D. Now that I have the base form, gonna work on the ZSpheres on the head, and then convert it into a polymesh and get to work on sculpting.

looks neat so far. just learning about them myself. there's a crapload of useful stuff I had no idea about, it's pretty exciting.

maybe post your zsphere 'mesh' as well, for those of us who haven't used it much?

also curious to see how you're going to go about the sphereing head.

One thing I made extensive use on to give it the "hunchback" was Zsphere 'magnets'. Anyway, I thinl I have it now, and it's time to sculpt.



I think I have the head pretty much ready, yay! Oh, and here's the Zsphere "mesh" as well:



You can't really see it there, but I have two zspheres inside the "head" whose whole purpose is to pretty much 'set up' the eye area.

I ended up changing his build somewhat, making him a bit more balanced - the torso is wider, and the forearms and hands not as gargantuan. I also added claws to the tips of his fingers:
