Day 6 I adjusted the proportions again and tried to add some final details with Zmodeler before moving onto sculpting. Day 7 Took the day off Day 8 Finally sculping. I decided to start at the bottom with the dog heads and work my way up.
Day 1 Downloaded Zbrush and it says it's good until December 17th??? I guess my 30 day free trial got a bonus 15 days. . . (nobody tell Pixologic). Went through the introductory videos, and some of the beginner level tutorials. I spent most of the day trying customize the UI and controls in an attempt to make it feel more…
DAY 0 For this project I'm going to attempt to re-learn ZBrush, and sculpt something cool for my portfolio in under 30 days. I learned a little bit of ZBrush back at art school, but I didn't liked it all that much. I never clicked with the user interface and the camera controls. A couple of weeks into that sculpting class,…
Day 4 Couldn't find much time to work, not much to show. Day 5 - I added more detail to the block-out, I'm still working out the proportions though. - After looking at my reference again, I decided to extend the neck to better match the typical dragon design. - I'm starting to get the hang of Zmodeler, . . still don't like…

I think I'll re-do the beard and eyebrows as separate subtools as well, then merge them back in and smooth out the seams. I think I'll do the…
@Firebert Thanks for the tips. You're right, I probably should have stayed at a lower sub-d level for longer, but I got excited to start adding some detail, ha ha. I'm not using Sculptris Pro at the moment, and I tried to use Dynamesh on this subtool a couple pf days ago, but I got some weird results around the trim I…
Day 22 - 38 So. . . I've been forgetting to post updates (Ha ha, oops), but I've been slowly working on the sculpture. Because of the 15 bonus days I'm actually still on the free trial. I've got about 7 days left. Although, I'm starting to like Z-Brush, so maybe I'll keep it around on subscription mode afterwards. Since…
