Over at the CGTalk Forum I saw a thread about doing anatomy studies based on works by the masters, and I couldn’t pass that up. The piece above is based on a painting by Caravaggio. I created and posed a base mesh in Maya, and then sculpted in ZBrush.

Nice work Frank!
I’m playing around with Maya also. I love bringing drawings to ‘life’ in
3D. Keep up the good work! ( ZBrush is the next thing for me)

Hi, Rocco. (I feel like I’m talking to myself…)
This piece was based on Caravaggio’s painting “Christ at the Column.” Caravaggio’s painting are amazing.
Take care,
Rocco
