"(I understand ZBrush turns it 2D after you're finished)." umm nope..the "tool" itself is still fully 3D, by marking and using layers you can keep full 3d control of an entire scene. even when you drop your tool onto the canvas, it still retains all z-depth information = 2.5D. really neat toon figure BTW! very clean cage! only thing i can see is the arms look "very" long.
