ZBrush - Alien Empress

To make this model I started with the default , human head mesh and used different brushes to change it. I started with a very abstracted alien head, and it started looking very regal. So I decided to try and make it look like a old empresses. This was tricky as I had to make sure it looked both feminine, and old. The femanain part was similar as I just slimed down serten features and tried to keep it very samerical. I then used alpha brushes to add a wrincal texture around her eyes and mouth. I also pulled in her cheek bones to make her look more alien but also to make it look more like saggy old skin.


When painting it, I wanted to use very earthy colours, but that made her look very muddy. So I used lighter reds and yellows to further highlight her features.
Overall, I'm really happy with the results and I am slowly picking up how to use ZBrush. However, I do feel her eyes and ears could do with more deatal, and I'm not too happy with her colour sceam as it makes her look aquatic. This isn't necessarily bad, but it's not what I was going for.
