So this will be my first contest entry and I am excited. I think that this will be a good opportunity to experiment with zBrush. I've had the program for a while now and I have only tinkered with it.
Here is what I am thinking:
-I will sculpt a Greek/Roman sculpture in zBrush based off of a mythical god.
-The sculpture will be placed inside of a temple or alter and will feature dramatic lighting
-I will add a sci fi twist to the sculpture, giving it a futuristic theme. As if the Greek/Roman culture actually took place in the future.
-The sculpture will feature a marble material with metal parts (like cybernetic implants). I'm thinking that I could add some really cool robotic/cybernetic wings. Oh, and lots of hoses...that should look cool.
-The temple will also be a blend of Neoclassicism and sci fi.
-The statue/temple will be the "Gift to the Gods"
On a side note, does anyone know of any good tutorials/books for zBrush that you could direct me to. I am familiar with the interface of the program, I just am not too sure on the work flow. I know I could probably sculpt the statue but then how will I map and texture it? Should I use zSpheres? I don't plan on animating it since it is a statue? Any help would be great.
