In the following steps, I developed my under painting, always using Zbrush’s Paintbrush with my blocky Alpha brush tip and with Bristle option activated. To create the more luminous background I used the Highlighter brush with Bristle mode, and Main colour mode activated.
Step 4:
I decided that I wanted a wider, more panoramic dimensions for this image, so I resized the document. Also, every few minutes of working I tend to flip the image horizontally, checking the overall balance of the composition. As I was creating this particular image I was undecided on its final orientation up to the very end.
Step 5:
Once my under-painting was done, I started creating the actual 3D models. I created those in a very sloppy way, since they were going to be painted anyway. By using this fast and dirty method I was able to model 26, 3D tools in less than 30 minutes. First I created a few alphas, using just black paint on a white 1024X1024 canvas.
