Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! " Not... sexy, big breasted woman" I think your taking this too far my friend! I may have to personally escort you off the forum user added image

The character models that I like, are the one's that actually have character. You can actually see what there thinking... If you know what i mean. They have depth, and they tell a story simply with there presence.

As for ZBrush... I will agree that it does get taken too far at times (I've done it myself (reference My Organic modeling thread)) :blush: But ZBrush, when used carefully can really make a character come to life. I've seen some great models come out of ZBrush... that only have the simplest of forms modeled... Just enough to portray the character... and those are the models that really get ya, BUT that said I've seen other model that have been detailed to a realistic degree, and they are beautiful! I think that ZBrush is still a brilliant tool for any artist. And I still like the overly detailed models. If you go to CGSociety In the Hardcore modeling challenge. They are doing a Stan Winston tribute... Alien... Predator... Pumkinhead... and more... Could you imagine if these characters didn't have their micro details... All there lovely lumps and bumps?
I guess these things have there place, and i suppose it's up to the artist to know when and where...

I'm looking forward to your characters.

"Yes."
