Description
**EDIT**I made this for a tutorial book called Zen of Zbrush. The book has been released I am happy to say!
The digital version is here ([link] ) <--I recommend this one
And the physical version is here: ([link] )
The book has 140 pages and completely goes over creating characters in Zbrush. It also has 3 hours of video tutorials illustrating the techniques better.
**/EDIT**
Hey guys,
So I had to pause work on the low poly of my elite, because I was lucky enough to be a part of a ZBrush book with Vitaly Bulgarov and Vik Sorensangbam. It's a tutorial book that will be called Zen of ZBrush. Each of us will walk you through our technique and work-flow for creating characters in ZBrush.
I will be walking you through how I created this character. It's a scouting drone I just named Drone-04. Some of you may have previewed this model before this, as I posted images in my sketchbook. I wanted to create a mech that had visual characteristics similar to the Eva Mechs of Evangelion.
The reason I submit stuff to my scrapbook before it's done is because I don't want to spam people's deviantWatch with half done work. I get that a lot from my subscriptions and it's tedious to weed out all the half done stuff.
I will low poly this for my portfolio but that will not be covered in the book. The book only covers the model in ZBrush. Speaking of which this model was fully made in zbrush. I started using ZSketch then went on from there.
I think I covered everything. Take care and I hope you enjoy
Also, cause I know this will get asked, the total mesh is 52.7 million polygons. This may sound like overkill but the mesh can stand to be printed at wall poster size and still hold up.
Edit: DAILY DEVIATION! Wow thank you so much to Butch007 (james bond

AMAZING!
How did you submit this? I started today, followed tutorials how to start, and now I don't know how to submit it so it will appear like your [totaly awesome] piece right here?

Watch the Rebuild of Evangelion series, the action and the animation are GORGEOUS!! Shinji is totally a whiny-little-bitch that doesn't realize the magnitude of his own actions or of their consequences. HATE-HIM! But if you can get passed him it really opens up and gets good. The Design is AWESOME, I love this guy's creativity!!

Yeah, same story it's just condensed into 3 or 4 highly cinematic "episodes"/movies.

Is Shinji less of a b*tch?

Zaparcik In reply to yahnlao [2017-11-07 16:33:29 +0000 UTC]
Shinji is uber bitch. He wasn't a bitch only once and it was only in the manga. Rebuild...I cannot recommend for now because I have no clue what is going on, Neon Genesis have some sense, watch it and End of Evangelion. Rebuild-after all that.

Wow, this is simply amazing. I love how it's a mix of machine and organic structures, reminds me of the Crynet nanosuit. Just an awesome piece, I think I'll check out your book since modeling is something I'm learning to do. Great job!
