The better option is to think like a sculptor and build a maquette with either zspheres or a pre-existing model. We'll have to get together and get you started on this! :) Well, not in the way that you may immediately think.

You know, sort of a la Hans Solo in frozen mode. For example, would it be possible to import an image like this: http://rebeccak.cgsociety.org/gallery/ as some sort of image plane, get ZBrush to read the alpha data to form a mesh, and then sculpt from there?
