ZBrushChallenge

Characters are a main focus of mine, particularly character animation but being able to make my own characters would be a nice skill to have. I've started to learn zbrush as sort of a collective challenge/learning thing being done with some of my course mates. this challenge will hopefully happen every other week on a Wednesday so it won't be massively distracting. This week we set our challenge as "Vikings" but as I haven't used zbrush before i wanted to get to grips with its tools a little. 

I ended up with this:

I'm pretty happy with him for a first attempt at zbrush and I've already learnt a lot but next time I'll follow the challenge a bit better. Mainly i need to use sub tools more to section off areas and understand the whole dynamesh thing and resolution from the start so I don't ruin detail I've put in when adding sections to existing meshes.

UPDATE:

Second attempt at a model turned out a little better. Used my own concept image as reference.
