Description
"The Flag Runner"Digital Sculpture Completed on April 1, 2013
This my first fully-painted ZBrush model, and she is quite the labor of love.
For those that are unfamiliar with the creature: in Warcraft, Night Elf Druids can shapeshift into elfy-looking cats. This particular one is running a flag from Warsong Gulch (a sort of "capture the flag"-style PvP Battleground).
She was modeled and then polypainted from scratch and the background/setting is a very, very modified screenshot from World of Warcraft. Had I more time for the assignment, I would have put her in a more "natural" setting, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
This is my first attempt using the render settings of ZBrush, and I'm not entirely thrilled by the results, but I'm certain I'll continue to learn and grow in time. This piece completes my homework for my ZBrush course, too, so if you want to see how far I've come since January, check this out:
I hope you guys like the result! I put a lot of love into her and I'm really pleased by the result, and hope that down the road I can get a 3D print of her, perhaps.

Wow! Amazing work! The Druid has always been one of my favorites <3 Β Great detail in the cat, I love the musculature and the anatomy is great! Love the effects on the flag as well.Β

Thank you so very much for all your kind words! Β I had a lot of fun trying to figure out the anatomy of how the NE druid would look like with a bit more definition, and i"m glad you liked how she turned out.

This is probably the first digital sculpture work I've ever favorited, since digital sculpting and 3d are really not my thing, by gosh, this piece looks awesome! Dynamic, incredible structure and attention to anatomy (oooo muscles!) and detail. Good lighting. Quite nostalgic for me too, heh.
Great job!

WSG brings back a lot of memories for me too! So many flags: so little time.
Thanks for the kind compliments and I'm glad you like the muscles and dynamic pose! I definitely poured a lot of time and effort into this girl, so its wonderful being able to share the final result. In regards to lighting: this was my first time trying to do a "render" of a model, so I think there are about 12 layers that contributed to lighting in the render, so I'm glad you like how they all came together! Prior to doing this model I just sort of... assumed that once you finish your model you just hit a button (like "Print Screen") and slap on a background and effects. How wrong I was!

Wow, this is really great! I'm curious - are you doing the Zbrush course online or at a local school?

I am taking an online course through the Gnomon School of Visual Effects: [link]

I loved Warsong Gulch. This piece is beautiful! While you couldn't go with the natural, I think this shows the beauty of the game and the setting of the PvP ground. I love the colors too!

It's a superb final product- professional quality, really enticing, and a great promo image, even if it's not really a "promo" image for the game!

You'd have to check on the ZBrush/Pixelogic site to make sure. I personally use a PC.

How often I have done this in game myself. The textures and colors are gorgeous! You did a beautiful job capturing the spirit behind this!

Thank you so much for the compliments on my work! I'm glad you could feel the spirit of Druid's swift movement and that the textures and colors appeal to you! I put a ton of love into her, and it's so wonderful to hear it's appreciated.

This is the blueprint, for the next WoW engine!
I have only ever seen Zbrush being used by others, I have never touched it firsthand, but it must be awesome to pan around and view all the angles!(Or at least I think that's how it works) Very VERY impressive work!

It really is neat being able to use ZBrush to move around the model, but that does mean there are TONS of angles and little details that no one will ever see, haha! But I know it's there, and I guess that's what's the important part.
That said, I'm glad you like her! Thanks again for being so supportive all along the way as well, I really appreciate it!
