I love the zsphere collaboration idea. Perhaps I will arrange something at ZBrushCentral for that. Matt - Thanks for the kind words! Slashpot - I had originally just put the words Spanish Inquisition even though in mind I was seeing Monty Python. I edited the post later to be more sensitive. Peter - Thanks!

Ryan Impressive work, very inspiring! Ignore the nay sayers, they are being pedantic to the extreme, would any of them honestly argue that Paintings like Goya's The Third of May should come with a warning that it depicts terrible events? My point is you shouldn't have to label your work with disclaimers lol, if you start then at what point do you stop? ;) hahaha, Matte Dale i couldn’t agree with you more.

Can't you people read? Ryan didn't mention the actual brutal inquisition instigated by the Spanish Catholic church, but rather the one depicted by Monty Python involving comfy chairs and cushions!!! Grow a sense of humour will ya! Geez Ryan, I didn't expect this!! But then... OMG!

They are fantastic faces, with a lot of individual character, and you people are complaining about the subject matter? The inquisition took place 600 years ago, and I highly doubt that is touches any sort of emotional nerve for any of you. Just appreciate his work, and if it offends you, don't view it.

It could be something like a ZBC group picture, where everyone makes and contributes a sphere based head model, even a self-portrait if so desired, and put them all together. Anyway, great stuff you're doing. Love the clips! I'd love to see how you'd retopologize them to do the extensions! I've recently seen this method used based on a zbrush model, but in a different app. I was so busy the last year that I didn't get to explore that option ever since it came out. It would be a great opportunity to show that off! :) How beautiful it would be to hold a little sphere modeling collaboration.

I have increasingly begun to focus on the merger between drawing concepts and sculpting concepts. Think Princess Jasmine's eyes, in Aladdin, and casts of the features of Michelangelo's David. I tend to start from one viewpoint and establishing the 2D shape like a Disney or Pixar animator and then integrating it with the other views to make it 3D. I tend to. How successful I am is a different story. :) Thanks for the comment! Ryan Hey YaacovD - Your observation that some of the forms have been built from 2 to 3 dimensions is a very important one.

Fictional as it is, it may be that the historical references get in the way of appreciating the tool's abilities and your artistry though. To model evil -- and the fear of evil on another's face -- in a depiction referred to as the Inquisition may be uncomfortable. Notwithstanding it reminded me of methodologies in calculus as you built some of the forms from two to three dimensions. Well done.

Gray - I simply selected another ZTL. :) Benny - The above content was created in the vein of a disney-eque fictional storyline that just popped into my head and is meant to be enjoyed from an artistic processes point of view not a historically accurate depiction of real-life events. Kindness to all, Ryan Taron - Thanks!

It may have been better to let this one sit it out, and use a different theme for your tutorial.
