My work basically is a reflection of my wacky personality, presented in any form I can find! I am a self taught artist, from sketches right on down to the big 3D. My first love of comics, cartoons and anime have heavily influenced me. The Artists who have influenced me most include the likes of Tex Avery, Mike Mignola, Travis Charest, Bruce Timm, Mario Ucci, and Barry Windsor-Smith to name a few.

Nice I did not know you could do that with Z Brush. Did you use a pad? I still prefer using pencil and paper it is a tactile thing. But nice to know that that software can do that too is it a vector drawign originally?

cool sketch! is the feature meant to be a base for sculpting? i would think a 2d editor like Manga Studio would be better for a sort of final pencils or inks version, so i'm guessing it's for referencing?

Thanks gang. This feature of ZBrush is meant for everything from concept to general image creation. It's not attempting to compete in the image editor category as much as just image creation. Some basic editing is possible but again, not the focus. The process for editing as opposed to creating would be convoluted and a bit tedious compared to say Photoshop or Painter. So yeah, pure creation either for reference or as final output.
