sure. I initially started up with with zspheres for blocking out the shape, once im happy with the silhouette, i would use either 3d max, maya, or topogun to retopologize the mesh, then started refining it from there. At least the the whole workflow would be. You can also build a box man in max, import to zbrush, and start from there. Hope it makes sense

It does , I'm familiar with the workflow, and I love to use zspheres (with the original skinning options) but I can't seem to get the hands right, and it takes me a lot of time to get the right proportions.

I'll try creating a basemesh in Maya (still new to that, I come from 3ds max background) and I hope it workx. Anyway thanks for the reply and I don't need to tell you that your work is awesome.

Yeah but I just can't get the initial topology right that I can use the clay buildup brush. Maybe I'll try doing them as a separate subtool with the new skinning options.

i usually use adaptive skin with classic skinning turned on, get much better results that way. Also pay attention to where you place zspheres,especially where the joins are, you will need extra zspheres.

I know but it gets really scrambled at the hands.

have you tried Dynamesh? It can be a big help with messy topology, assuming you will have to retop your mesh afterwards anyway. if that doesn't work then boxman is your best choice.

i think the updates for zbrush are free, depends on your version though. Check out this video, the box man is what he's using at the beginning.
