female dynamesh block in

tried to block in a female figure with a dynamesh, I inserted the ears and hands, I still don't understand zbrushes
scale and move tool very well, I had no problem placing the ears but major problems scaling and moving the hands

WIP_Lurch redo 2

Built the basic form of the jacket with a Dyna mesh, then retopoed in Zbrush, took it into Maya and made some tweaks, back into Zbrush to finish the sculpt. I also built the shoes and pants from some old geo I had
hopefully I can get to that soon,
cheers

WIP Beast Dog

Made with a dynamesh in Zbrush. I thought I'd show the progress as I'm having fun with this one, However I made several mistakes also. The first was I started with a Dynamesh sphere of 128, it is a little too hi, I think a 32 or 64 would have been better. The second was as I was pushing and pulling and control dragging to reapply the dynamesh as I was going and somehow I got out of it and if I reapply it, it is too fine, basically the
front paws do not have enough polys too form them the way I want.And Third I got too excited to do the head I did not focus all around the sculpt as I went thus the back legs have not progressed.
Learning lots though. I am primarily using the Move Topical Brush

Dynamesh Sculpt

Messin around with a dynamesh sphere

WIP_Lurch redo

Decided to try it again, So I took one of the lower levels from the old one and Dynameshed it and started there.
I'm liking the new one better., I haven't gotten to the hair yet.

ZBrush Dyna Mesh

Trying Zbrush's new Dynamesh with an older concept I have always liked. I'm happy
