still been working on this. it *feels* like it's close to done but really I know there's a lot of random loose ends to tie up here so probably another 1-2 days at least. very glad the end is in sight regardless

was trying to figure out some effects & then zbrush crashed & decided to corrupt the file literally the moment after I deleted my quicksave history. awesome
what's weirder: the main file is just... gone? just not there anymore? managed to recover this much but I don't wanna redo the folds AGAIN man

rough of a jax figure I've been trying to work out for a while. Think I like the general silhouette & pose but I'm still really lost on getting the cloth folds & effects to feel right (+ the base is essentially just a placeholder).
hopefully this will turn out cool, maybe

Tried figuring out a good process for posing into refinement + more work on posed anatomy in general. Want to figure out a process I like for sculpting figures & think I'm getting closer with this.
also you have no idea how much I resisted the urge to remesh everything together I'm so strong

head (sort of) speedsculpt made (mostly) in around 25 minutes (with another 25 or so spent on ears and tweaks and suchlike) - still surprised myself how fast I got this done. I've sculpted a lot of heads I guess
