Hey Guys

Having a break from my project today, and thought I'd dip into Zb!

Those of you who know your Batman graphic Novels will know the title of the post for sure. Im just recreating a version of the Joker from the Killing Joke graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland mixed with a bit of Simon Bisley style from Judgement on Gotham novel and am also throwing in a bit of my own style too.

I'll be doing the teeth in Maya and final render (eventually) in MR using the Misss Fast Skin shader

Enjoy for now
Jay

Nice work man! And that's all using a sculpt tool, eh? Sweet!

Nice. It's time to take off those training wheels and head over to cg**** user added image

I am saving myself for MudBox. I tried Zbrush and found the process to be the most counter intuitive workflow ever. I commend anyone who can wade through that muddy interface!

Hey Jay looks great!

You planning on texturing this?

As for the Z brush interface, it aint bad at all, just need to have a play about with it to get used to it!
