Peace is a lie, there is only passion
Through passion, I gain strength
Through strength, I gain power
Through power, I gain victory
Through victory, my chains are broken
The Force shall free me

Sculpting a velociraptor in ZBrush

Here's my first ever attempt at sculpting something in ZBrush.  I didn't model it, but I started to using a tutorial I found on digitaltutors.com.  After the first few lessons I realized my raptor was going to look "nothing" like this one, so I just kept the finished one waiting for the chance to sculpt it (That the only reason I was trying to model it, really).


Here's a close-up of the face... I followed the tutorial until the end where he stopped with the head.  Now it's references and my own imagination from here on out... As evidenced by the scars on his face.


While playing with some of the other brushes, I decided to make this side of his face, as well as parts of his body, with old burn scars.  I'm still working on the burnt look, but I'm happy with it so far.


I'll be posting updates as I go!
