Got z3 yesterday and been testing it out. Looking forward to all the new possiblities with it and my work...

Been playing with all the tools on my last model big change in look already from hand drawing bump maps to skin look from Zb.

Grazt Kurt.

Yeah zBrush makes a world of difference and I do have zB3, but I'm too scared to use it. Theres so much information on it and its quite over powering to me. I do have the Gnonom Intro to zBrush, but I am not making time to watch it. God its pathetic... LOL.

Anyway to model looks good (as usual), but I bet you want to do more :p

this all looks too random to me.
no real definition.
no muscles, or basic anatom properties.
its really lumpy.
maybe you can smooth it out a little and make build slowly better definitions . user added image

Looking pretty good

The crease on the cheek looks a bit odd though, like it shouldent really be there.
