We recently saw ZBrushCentral member khalavi’s micro sized Halo 4 sculpts here on the ZBrush blog. In that post, we mentioned that khalavi also played a role in creating Disney’s Frankenweenie collection for The Bridge Direct. It goes without saying that we couldn’t help but do an artist spotlight on Khurram H. Alavi and tell everyone that the Frankenweenie collectibles are available now and feature some highly detailed figures from this modern Disney classic. What’s more, they were all started using Dynamesh inside ZBrush! You can see more toy goodness by visiting The Bridge and explore their entire product line.

Michael Defeo was kind enough to pop into the Pixologic booth at this year’s CTN for some live digital clay demo action. His characters and creatures have graced the screen in films like Ice Age, The Lorax and Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who to name a few. In case you couldn’t make it to this year’s Creative Talent Network Expo, Michael also had his own booth where he showcased his design process in traditional clay. You can see a recap here.

In this latest image, coincidentally begun at CTN, Michael or mdzb on the ZBrushCentral Forum gives a nod to the ever popular Morticia. The entire image was produced inside ZBrush and rendered using the BPR render system. You can learn more about rendering and lighting inside ZBrush at ZClassroom.
