Description

Inspired by "Framed" by Stormchaser and the work of Calum5 Another mesh extract in ZBrush. It's hard to keep the poly count down to a reasonable level when you do this because you have to subdivide the mesh a lot to get a clean mask - This one was about 180K or thereabouts. The lady is Madison by Freja with a couple of tweaks to the textue. SkinVue and some fiddling around in Photoshop.

Very cool headgear, wicked looking. Really nice lighting, love those cold black evil looking eyes. Stormchaser did an excellent job on famed as well, great inspiration.

Fantastic modeling! And I hear ya on the poly count and ZB, seems like you have to get into the millions to get something smooth!

Did not know the work of Stormchaser.. I think.. Went to the gallery and was amazed.. Calum5 is well known... -=- This work of yours is fantastic.. The mask is adding much drama.. Who would dare to give the girl a friendly kiss.. You would stay with her for a while.. :D Special.. very very special

Looks really cool mate,glad to of been a little in the way of thought towards this.Thanks efron also:)!Trepz ? When you learn the interface it all makes sense,I didnt bother with zb for 2 years but once I spent soem time with it ,soon the interface becomes completely relavant and really helpfull!I know where your coming from but the programme for me is the best thing that eve happened in my creative art life.Frank,one last thing,if you make a retoplogy of your mesh extraction you can bring the ploycount down to under 30k for this type of item:-)))Bye cal and thanks again.
