"The Flag Runner"
Digital Sculpture Completed on February 7, 2013

This is my sixth model in ZBrush.

I had more time this week than is usual to work on my ZBrush homework (mostly because I was incredibly ill for days straight), and the resulting sculpture honestly makes me nearly as pleased as the Deathwing sculpture (also fan art) I did some years ago.



I've been really sick, but at least during my periods of semi-consciousness I managed to battle my way through trying to make this new gal dynamic. 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).

The base of this sculpture is the veteran lioness from last week, but I made a TON of significant modifications to her, and attempted to pose her and add props, fabric, jewelry, a full set of teeth: you name it.



The sculpt is also less detailed than last week's veteran lioness by a significant margin. I learned last week that I went overboard with that, and the resulting overkill of detail worked against me for things like posing.

Honestly, I like this new sculpture enough that I'd consider trying to get a 3D print of it.

I hope you guys like it. I put a lot of love into her and I'm really pleased by the result (even if it went a bit beyond the actual assignment >_>).

Alliance cats win! Always.
Good work, are you planning on texturing it?

Druids are the best flag runners!
Really great piece, I love the movement in it and the execution is spectacular.
Are there additional steps you will take with these models (like texturing or coloring them)?

Thanks for the encouraging words!

I just started to learn ZBrush in January, so I'm fairly new to the program. At the moment I don't know anything about texturing or coloring, so who-knows if once I learn that if I'll come back and revisit this model, but for the moment, I'm fond of this greyscale version. :)

Ah, you've worked really hard to master it in such a short time! Really proud of your work ethic. <3

On a side note, I visited my friend and we toured your work's facilities late at night and I saw your Deathwing sculpt again. Really inspiring! I'd like to see your druid next to it in 3D, too. :3

This looks a million times better than the actual WoW model. Coming from a player whose main character is a Night Elf Druid, I would love her infinitely more if she looked like this.
