When it comes to most weapons and armors, I usually make the whole thing in Max or Maya. ZBrush is only for fine details at the end. That's just me though.
Nicely done! Though, about the design, why is her butt unprotected? Was just wondering since its the only part of her that isn't armored/covered in someway.
I feel like the upper leg armor could be bulked up or exaggerated a little as it seems kinda small compared to the rest of it, apart from that looks sick!
Damn that high is nice, just make sure to give some extra love to the leg armor and boots, they're looking pretty plain compared to the rest of the body.
))))) I'm also tired of elves and horny bodybuilders in huge grotesque armor. In the words of Dr. Goebbels: "Wenn ich Elf höre... entsichere ich meinen Browning" )))
For Visage, it's either all transparent or not. His translucent body has a different shader than his non-translucent rocky armor which isn't possible on a courier.
