thanks for the interest!

an answer for this image would be that I started off with the idea to make an olympic swimmer by playing around with ZSpheres in ZBrush. Then I took a mesh into 3DS max and fiddled. When I attempted to add arms I fiddled some more and decided that it looked more like an olympic discus thrower.

I guess that I don't really know what I'm doing at all. These really are only experiments after all. I would like to follow a concept much more closely but thats not the way I work.

Then I take it back into ZBrush for some higher res sculpting and texture it using Polypainting, create GUV's in ZB on a lower mesh and take the high res (1m polys) into Maya for lighting and Mental Ray. There are a lot of other steps inbetween but thats the general gist. If you like I could note you both with more details - spread the knowledge and all that.

Mostly I look at peoples explainations on ZB Central or CG Talk, and I have been following a lot of Digital Tutors DVD's.

Thanks for the insight and the offer. Right now, more detail would be wasted on me. Sounds like fun, though. Keep up the good work
