I finally made it into Zbrush. Only to find out that my version on my Mac doesn’t support exporting to a video. That would’ve been nice to know 2 hours ago. Anyway - Moving on. - I updated the legs, they are not as square, I think you (the viewer) should be starting to get a good idea of the mass of the character and what kind of details you should expect.

These are early in the detailing process, I’m just blocking in the detail areas right now. I’m finding it very easy to lose myself in this process, a little tweak here, another there, I look up and it’s midnight. I’m like I need to get this posted and get to bed. - This is the fun part.

I’m still working on the back story, it’s coming along. FYI Shinto is a very interesting religion (more of a set of ideas / guidelines than a religion though).

My next step will be bringing out the details more and defining the texture and quality of what I want in this character so stay tuned.

I’m still trying to come up with a good name, something like guardian of the elements (in japanese of course), I am also toying around with using the name of the most famous samurai however I think that would be too cliche, but it would help me develop the back story and the reason why he has elements on his arms, and the animation I plan to use.  Any ideas? - Anyone?
