Description
I thought I should post 2 versions of my Zbrushed Alien Queen, because with a slight tweak you can get very different results.
I was inspired by Meats Meier a Zbrush legend and his 'wire-frame' mini-tutorial.
Step 1 - Zbrush sphere object
Step 2 - Make an adaptive skin
Step 3 - Subdivide the geometry
Step 4 - Add grid texture and create mask
Step 5 - Remove hidden polygons
Step 6 - Smooth and inflate
...but the last step in my versions didn't quite work out the way I expected it...more practice needed !
Cheers jif3d :o)

Excellent artwork Jeff!
Branching out into new territories, mediums and methods-- the sign of a real artist! Cool and interesting results- looking forward to what you come up with next!
Superb concept and images Jeff! I have owned zbrush since the beta days, though never managed to create anything worthwhile... except its brilliant at mapping photos to meshes.
Superb artwork, Jeff!
Really cool Jeff. I like them both
Fantastic work Jeff....
This is a real nice spin on things, unusual and cool artwork!
Definitly cool!!!!!! Excellent creations!!!
awesome work
Both of them turned out great Jeff - it's always great to experiment, even - or especially - when it leads to unexpected results!
cool idea, and superb artwork *****
That is very cool Jeff, awesome effects. Did you hear the might be doing and Alien prequel? THAT would be neat!
NIce work! Glad to see you move forward with ZBrush
Spiffy! The top looks like a an alien fossil found by accident on an archeological dig. The second, I now know what it means by nightmare. Great effects and work
Wow, what an amazing Alien creature you created and very interesting effects. CC
That bottom one looks like he's been hit by a DeRez ray or something. Super Z-Brushin, I've heard that app is a Bear to learn. Peace
Love the de-constructed look Jeff! :)
Beautiful amazing Alien creature end construction Excellent Work...!!!
hot damn, but these are good! the first one looks like it's a fossil encased in rock (you might want to try that for a testure)... the second one is just plain electro-freaky.... like a bad acid trip while hooked up to a series of laptop batteries... Kreegah!
Awesome this is Mate i have too fav this
In frame (I) it looks as if the queen is walking through a wallpapered wall... and frame (II) she has been fragmented into oblivion, both are amazing WIP's for starters in a new direction... love to see more of your Sci-Fi art in Zbrush ! Great effects...BB
Your first alien looks as though it flew into the wall and went splat and shattered everywhere, very cool look. I love the second effort with its colourful background and its purposeful look. I think you are going great guns with this program, and it looks as though you will be able to make some very different creatures with your imagination. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
S`ñemdod wprl amd famtastic modelling my friend....!!!
Excellent work.
Desserve a full size view, lots of details hidden there :)looking forward to see more. Zbrush is quite painful when it comes to export and displace map but it's powerful for creation through z-sphere and painting details. Have fun
Fantastic!
WOW this is great,looks like a neat program.Excellent !!
Very good work.
Awesome work, Jeff. Very different from your usual. Very creative stuff here.
Not what you expected but it looks pretty cool regardless. Well done!
