And now, for something totally different... OMG a dragon ! Only this time it's not drawn, it's sculpted - not in clay, mind ya (I wish I could) ! This was my very first, and single as of now, creation done in ZBrush. I started with a very basic shape then added to it, and added, and added... The final model is all but a clean one, it's got ugly little mishaps here and there - it's even got no teeth !

However the whole process was a thrill, I learned a lot during the few days it took me to finish it. ZBrush can be confusing at times and the way it works definitely doesn't make life easier when you come from a more "traditional" modelling approach... But man does it look, feel and work better than anything else. I mean in real life, if you can draw you most probably can sculpt ; which never was as simple in the digital world, since proper 3D modelling can be such a tedious and technical work... Until ZBrush (and the few equivalent softs that followed) ! Now it's really a pleasure to "draw in 3D", and the gap between real clay and digital clay has never been so small.

Anyway... I haven't been able to do more stuff in ZBrush since that dragon head, but I sure hope I can someday !
