I can never get my eyelids quite that straight and clean in zbrush.  Did you create the base mesh in another program first? Or did you just sculpt them very high res? I can tell this is a descimated version... It looks super great.. one of the cleanest and best face sculpts I've seen.

Yes, I think it was decimated for this progress render.  To be honest, I had to look at it pretty closely at this image again to see if it was because I couldn't remember.  

Yeah, I made a pretty detailed basemesh in Blender before I sculpted it in Zbrush.  Eyelids are always a problem for me when I try to sculpt them from nothing, but I've been practicing it a lot and it can work.  On my male full figure sculpture, I had to sculpt both eyes from scratch.  It helps to get really close and use low intensity brushes, and to use Lazy Mouse with the following brushes: Clay Tubes (with imbed low like 3); Trim Dynamic; Damien Standard (both add and subtract); and Smooth Directional.  I try to make all of my strokes long and following the shape of the eyelid lengthwise.  Sometimes I also use one of the alphas with vertical white bars on the Clay Tubes brush to make its effect more subtle.

Thanks a lot for that info.  The stuff you do with Blender makes me think I should start learning it.

or maybe I was assuming it was descimated. I can't really tell just the eyebrows look that way
