Description
This was a project that I had on the back burner for while now. I had made an initial test version of the model back in April of last year. I was still learning the mechanics of box modelling
at the time and I wasn't really happy with the results. You can see the image and read about what
I was trying to do at this link : Queen - Version 1
Then I recently saw the previews for Zbrush 2 and was totally amazed by the artwork that the artists at Pixologic had created and decided to get the program. I figured that this program
would ideal for sculpting organic forms and I decided the best way to learn it was to just
start using it on my unfinished project.
I took inspiration from the alien-organic works of Giger and Cleavenger and came up with my own
version of a weird alien-human hybrid. The concept behind it was that an alien-insectiod like race had captured a humanoid female and fused her head with alien technology in order to exploit the unlimited potential of the human mind. This hybrid Queen, under the guidance of the alien council, controls and runs the entire colony from a central chamber deep within the hive...
Anyways, learning Zbrush was a bit frustrating at first, but once I started focusing just on the 3D sculpting tools, it became easier to work with. The program can manipulate a large number of polygons very quickly and this allowed me to try out many variations and put alot of details on to
the models in a very short time. Only the organic stuff was exported for detailing in Zbrush and the basic procedure was :
Box modelled base mesh in Max -> Imported into Zbrush and sculpted -> Imported back into
Max for material assignment and rendering.
Overall this was quite a fun project to work on and a nice change from all the car modelling I was
doing over the last little while :)

Fantastic Artwork!!! Been slightly Giger inspired myself of late... Brilliant!!!!!
Wow this is a very amazingly detailed picture I love the colors and reflections in the textures out of everything the glasslike luminous colors of the organic surfaces are amazing! I can only imagine(and wow) what this scenene would look like with an animated pan around the room, dollying around the pillar whilest the glowing light sources ebb and flow just slightly out of sync with each other like a slow concentric heartbeat.... wow :-)
WHOA, Dude!!!!! like my brother likes to point out, some of these 3d tools are pretty amazing, but put them into the hands of an artist, and prepare to be astounded. impressive is a poor word. press on!
Oh my GOD! This is just about the most amazing image I've seen! There is so much detail, it's just incredible. I'm lost for words to describe how brilliant this piece is and also how much in awe I am of your creative skills. I wish I could vote more than once, if I could I'd be hitting the button all night!

Looks damn great man. I'd like to say it brings up a quake 3 feeling, maybe it gives you a new look on it. Cos it looks great, damn great, but maybe you could put more of 'you' in the room-design. Did i say it looks great?
