Teenage Ninja Turtles 90s fan art

Hi,

This is my first full Zbrush character that I worked on for 3 weeks during my free time.
It's fan art based on the 90s Ninja turtles.

The goal for me was to learn a bit more about Zbrush, I started from a Zphere and sculpt everything by hand, retopo and UV in Maya and after that back to Zbrush to sculpt the details and export the displacement map.

I wanted to learn how to paint textures in Zbrush so the textures are all done with Polypaints, which I found was actually super fun and quick, I was a bit tired of how slow Mari is on my computer.

I learned how to do a basic rig in Maya to pose the characters.
Rendered in Arnold.

this project challenged me to get away from my comfort zone. Turns out, working on characters and bright saturated colors is super fun and something I don't do often. It's not perfect and I still have tons to improve, for the next one I will definitely raise the difficulty level a bit more...

I hope you guys like it!
