I have made some updates to him after some good feedback for  CGFeedback - still lots to do.

I have been workingon this guy for a while -  modeling up a hyper muscled man thing (Troglodyte is my working title for character- I was based him off of early Urukai/cave troll concept sketchs )

My aim is to eventually rig this character up aiming to demonstrait a knowledge of anatomy, modelling for deformation and quality skinning/rigging in Maya (as well as good texturing – a given) for my reel.

Busy working on the the base 3DCoat sculpt long before I retopo and take into Zbrush for detailing - I have been looking at reference of a wierd body building phenomina called roidgut - where the abdomen is distended but still muscled - I wanted a strong mans big belly not just pure fat, it will probably hang more in  the finished version and a little softer looking than it currently is.

Just a  quick test with blending layers in ZBrush -  which  will  be transfered into Maya  a la  the new Blend Shape plug in for Maya -  which  I  have to say  it pretty  darn cool-  see  here on the ZBrush Forums for more info here
