ZBrush - Week 9 - Night Elf Druid - Rendered

"The Flag Runner"
Digital Sculpture Completed on April 1, 2013

This my first fully-painted ZBrush model, and she is quite the labor of love.

For those that are unfamiliar with the creature: in Warcraft, Night Elf Druids can shapeshift into elfy-looking cats. This particular one is running a flag from Warsong Gulch (a sort of "capture the flag"-style PvP Battleground).

She was modeled and then polypainted from scratch and the background/setting is a very, very modified screenshot from World of Warcraft. Had I more time for the assignment, I would have put her in a more "natural" setting, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. :)

This is my first attempt using the render settings of ZBrush, and I'm not entirely thrilled by the results, but I'm certain I'll continue to learn and grow in time.
