Wow!

You should be a millionaire for the skill you have.

Damn, man, you never cease to amaze me... good to see you posting stuff again!

oh god, that's awesome.

Glad to see your work here again.

On a related note, any chance we'll see your back-catalog uploaded to scraps or anything like that?

Dude, you continue to always kick ass

breathtakingly real-looking. and really nice and believable mending of human and animal features.

good to see your works again! =^_^=

Rowr, that's totally freakin' awesome. :3

I keep looking at this and thinking it's a still from a film. I have... well.. most of the tools mentioned, but I wouldn't even know how to make them do what you do, Gryf. Fantastic work, and nice to see you posting again

Hes ALIVE

Yay your back!

Awesome job there as always ^^

I bow before the master saying "I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy."

i am speechless.
damn how incredible realistic do you get those pictures?!?
it´s a foto, don´t deny it! >.<

LOVELY! THe eyes are my favorite! Wonderful work! How long did it take to render?

Skinwrinkletexturelicious.

Mmm eyebrow whiskers. And it looks like she has an attitude. I approve. :)

The skin texture is amazing. Your pieces are so realistic they look like photographs. Do you post somewhere else more often?

Woah - it feels so real. Awesome stuff!

Awesome work. Stunning. You never stops amazing me.

if u can do that with a film sequence u re ready for hollywood. amazing graphics my friend!

Awesome job. And yet reminiscent of a Na'Vi. Although I'm sure the two are not the same. :)

Wow, Uncanny Valley.

I wonder what the *tweaking* part was, particularly for Zbrush. I'm playing with the program now, and planned on making a model exclusively on there... now I wonder if it would be better to make it in a more traditional program... then transfer and tweak it... somehow. Hmmn. *ponders*

I depends on the outcome that you want, if it needs to be rigged, easily surfaced, etc. For what I have done in the past I've tweaked Poser/Daz3d models because they come ready made, with textures, morph targets etc and I can work from there, I don't have basic modelling skills. But for doing the sort of amazingly detailed sculptures you see on Zbrush sites you're better off sketching out the design, modelling a basic shape for it in a more traditional program then transfering it into zbrush to add extra details. I've not really done that before.

*grin* actually, that helps quite a bit. Right now I don't need it animated via IKA skeleton or anything just yet, and in fact, am not animating it at all at first, but knowing what to do on and off the program definitely helps.

Admittedly, I haven't modeled in years myself, bending my focus towards learning to draw simple 2D better, so I'll need to shake off rust. That said, thanks for the advice: I'm starting to see how to order the tasks ahead better now....
