final turntable
My goal for this project was to learn Zbrush through humanoid sculpt. Above is the final turntable for the War Torch. I created the mesh and materials and set up the render with camera movements, effects, and lighting.

sketches
In my typical fashion, after gathering references, I opened my sketchbook and started creating some basic, rough sketches that I would be able to work from later down the line.
