Johnny Rampant's Amari Merc_Gold

I had a blast taking a course by one of my favorite Sculptors: Johnny Rampant. These are my results.

Renders are BPR right out of ZBrush. Texturing is all Polypaint.

The course immensely helped me to get to a professional level using ZBrush.

I also quite enjoyed the organic modeling practice absorbed, and had some epiphanies about how proportions can be used as a compositional device to evoke emotions.
