WOW, You Go Girl, This is Fabulous!!!

Yup yup yup. Are you working on a set of character morphs to sell then?? That would be cool. Most of the time we have pretty boys or every day boys or gangster boys but I don't think we have had a set face and neck of extreme fantasy characters yet!!

I love Hellboy - this is really cool! Awesome job!
Mec4D
Who talking about sell, for free ... I can't sell Hell Boy copyrights but well i can always give him away when I am done, he need displacement maps for the details and skin texture, M4 is great to work with the morphs but to low poly for all the details... I was thinking to make a set for the M4 morphs as well even full body transformations just looking for inspirations around what to do, so if you have any ideas for the morphs let me know...
Mec4D
actually I watched Hell Boy 1 and 2 yesterday one of my favorite movies .. I love it too.

Great ZBrush work, especially without reference (of course the memory can be the best "camera" reference) There's no application that fails under your hand.

Very nice work just from memory Mec. You might need to smooth his horns so they are flatter where they have been cut and to make a more pronounced edge. Surface irregularities could be done with a bump map if you don't have enough poly's there. As a first effort though it is very convincing - well done. Gary - A hobby is work without a deadline.

Awesome Zbrush Cath! I'm so going to learn Zbrush. Just seeing you and your work with your Zbrush morphs want to get into it deeper. Soon as I'm done with my texture.. time for another learning curve. Thanks for the inspiration yet again.. Cheers.
