heres some of the zbrush work on the alter. i was playing around and it ended up looking melted so i put a gold color on it and it looks ok. the gold shader needs some work what do you think of the alter though? my thoughts on the meltedness are that the blade though dormant has over time melted the golden alter. i could have a solid alter underneath the gold so it looks like its gold layered instead of solid gold. oh the possibilities of digital art work.
