	ZOMBIE SENSAI THRAXUS SOLO SET A set of images created with ZBrush 1.5 Premiere usng the new soft shadows and global illuminiation settings. I tried to achieve the effect/illusion of an un-rendered figure that had had been created in Lightwave. All models in thisa image were created in ZBrush with ZSpheres or basic spheres.
	ASCENSION ANGELS SOLO SET 2 A commission for Pixologic for an advert using ZBrush and showing off some of the features from the upcoming release.
	FULL FIGURE STUDIES SOLO SET1 The latest collection of ZBrush art. These images are mostly full figures studies using meshes from other 3D applications.
	Corrosive Space Marine 100% ZBrush set 1 A new turn in my ZBrush work. A full figure study based of WWarhammer 40000 Space marines. Complted 100% in ZBrush. All post work completed in house without resorting to Photoshop for anything. Corrosive Space Marine ZBrush and Photoshop set 2
	Johnny Depp in ZBrush A head study of the actor that made a recent appearance in `Sleepy Hollow`. The images was created by making a 3D model of JD`s head in Zbrush then moving on to texturing the mesh with colour and depth using ZB`s powerful brushes. The post work and composition was all done in Photoshop.
	The ZBrush Mechanoid Project The three week ZBorg Project. A 2000x3600 ZBrush image. The ZBorg is made up of thousands of ZTOOLS painstakinging snapshot together in a `hero stance` figure holding a basket ball. The project started with concept sketches done with pen and ink and moved onto ZBrush to build the parts needed. All the textures and alpha maps were created in Photoshop and the materials made in the application itself. I used a beta version 1.2. Version 1.23 will be launched any day now. (May 2000)

	ZBrush First goes using the new software. A very different set of rules to use ZBrush. Half 3D half 2D Half ????.	ZBrush - the second batch A couple of weeks into using Zbrush and this collection is the result. Sculpting is improving, textures are better, I start to use objects more.
