Some pretty nifty concepts and sculpts in here, keep it up!

Thanks Joel! They're plenty of fun. I've always loved making little creatures, and sometimes when I open zbrush to start some environment stuff I end up making animals instead.
@JaySmitt:
I sculpt a few of the tiles using a combination of claybuildup, trimsmoothborder, trimdynamic, planar, and orb's brushes. After doing about 8 of em, bring them into maya, rotate them around a bit. Then I use a script to add some minor random rotations, offets, and scaling. I'll doublcheck tiling, then import those back into zbrush and add a bit of unique details to the bricks to make them all look a bit different. I find its way faster to do it this way rather than painstakingly sculpting each one.
To do the damage, I've been experimenting with using surface noise as a mask. I'll store a morph target of the clean version of the brick, then really overdo the damage. From there I'll use the morph brush to bring it back a bit. I've also been experimenting a bit with the 'claypolish' feature to crisp up my edges a bit.
Baked down my maps, then I've been putzing in DDO a bit.
I'll make a nice little image tutorial sometime, but most of what I do has already been explained in much better detail by artists much better than I.
Here's another material WIP
Really good job on the stones. They still don't like me
Also I think you would be better off manually texturing these to add some colour variation rather than using ddo imo.
Thanks for the kind words! I typically only spend a ~2-3 hours on a sculpt before I run out of steam. Pinwheel took a bit longer than that and I may return to it at some point.
