I would post a step by step on my process, but people just don't give a rat's a$$ about digital and they write it off as "cheating" and "lifeless"...

well ill tell you right now thats a crock of SH*T! and those people haven't got a clue. you still have to have the talent and an artistic eye and knowledge to be able to apply it to digital sculpting as you would in traditional. the only difference is the tools that are being used. and the fact that your not actually using your hands to feel the clay when sculpting. instead of using an armature and clay your using a computer and programs to sculpt with. so the artist still has to use their mind to apply their knowledge to digital sculpting. so the esthetics and techniques are still all the same. your digital work is proof of that. (phenomenal by the way) i guarantee if you photo shopped your digital work to look like your traditional work. no one would be able to tell the difference.
even though im not a digital sculptor. i have had digital sculpting commissions done for me in the past. so i for one do give a rats ass about digital as much as traditional. and dont judge artists or think they are cheating becasue they work with certain tools or mediums to sculpt with. regardless if its clay or a computer. i would love to know what your step by step process is. and im sure for any digital sculptor out there would love to know it as well.and im guessing some traditional ones would like to know it as well. becasue your extremely talented and a true master of your craft.

well its going to be one killer piece for sure. i do want to mention i really like the texture you gave to his skin on his left side. i know its not refined but i can imaging what it would look like all over his body and get an idea where your going with it.
im really liking what i am seeing so far.
cant wait to see the final outcome if this piece.
