This character was created primarily for an online challenge - Pirates vs Ninjas! So I chose Pirates (obviously) Although I didnt have to go down the Pirates Of The Caribbean, I wanted to because those movies are such fun, and now with software such as Zbrush available to create the weird and wonderful I really couldnt resist. The base mesh was created in Maya and holds around 6k polys, the anemone and head bands are also Maya based. Everything was then imported in to Zbrush as Subtools, separated where needed and then I set about doing the sculpting. Although I had some rough sketches to go with I still couldnt help myself and just went wild with it all. After finally settling down and getting the sculpt right I set about using the poly painting tools in Zbrush to create the textures and apply different materials to each object. The render was done in Zbrush too using 2 sunlights. I then did some small tickling in Photoshop to finish it off. Overall this was an absolute joy to create in Zbrush right down to the final render and I sures hell learnt a fair bit on the way! Enjoy!!
