Showa Gigan 3D Model

Holy shit this is insanely well done! You are lightyears ahead of my skills, i have a question! How do you go about making the body? For example I have a head right now but thats it, ive been modeling a head, i want to start on the body, is there a way to add another sphere and shape in zbrush?

I'm a complete newb to the program, I just don't know how to approach it. And I was wondering if I eventually want to end up rigging it, are there things I should do or know before hand?

Me again... AWESOME job! 

Me again... AWESOME job! 

I'm moderatley new to Zbrush also in the way of starting from scratch in the program. I built my base mesh in 3ds Max then imported into Zbrush and sculpted to a certain point then rebuilt the mesh to get better sculpting and topology flow. I know you could add shapes by appending the subtool you're using but also you could append a Zsphere and use Zsphere to build a rough rig which then could be transformed into a mesh to sculpt on.

Bit hard to explain, send me a PM and I can look through my bookmarks and see what Zbrush tutorials I may have saved. They could explain better than I could. :)

Yes, you can totally add a new shape. the new shape will be a new subtool. And you'll have to 'append' it from the subtool palette. 

Okay thanks very much guys! I got it!

Very cool! Gigan's the man!

Awesome!

the shapes and the textures are so well done! :D amazing 3D, I hope you will post more of your art soon.

A bit of progress on the textures for the lowpoly.

^ Dont know what happened to the above post....somethimes it's there on my screen, sometimes not.

Anyhow, I think I'm near the end or have reached it on this Gigan project. I'll post more finalized shots in the near future. Any comments or critques are welcomed! :)
