hey Wolfen thank you a lot i am glad u like them, i use difuse and a normal map, but there no diference without the normal map, all of the detail is on the difuse, some stylized games do use normal map for the specular details, this is how it looks without the normal map
after i finish sculpting, then i start to paint the model, i use zbrush only to paint my models, then i use some materials of mine and the help of the projection master i project the effect of the materials i made on the model wich gives the stylized effect, without even painting that much
