Sculpting a Mermaid Character with Dynamesh - ZBrush Creature Design: Creating Dynamic Concept Imagery for Film and Games - page 414

Figure 7-39: With the Move brush, shape the front of the fin so it integrates into the neck in an interesting
way.
3. Duplicate 3 more instances of the fins up the neck. Be sure to change the scale as you go, so the shape
will taper toward the head ( Figure 7-40 ) .
4. Using the Move brush, I add a kick to the uppermost fin. This helps to add some character to the shape
( Figure 7-41 ) .
5. Duplicate the fin again and bring it down to the shoulders. I widen this instance and give it a wide flared
quality like a collar or short shawl. The fins are intended to suggest the flowing fin of a manta ray ( Figure
7-42 ) . Clear the mask and update the Dynamesh to combine the fins into the body ( Figure 7-43 ) .
