Legendary "Absolute beginners" trilogy by

And a little bit funny story about my journey in this trilogy.
Year ago, in January 2024 when I start learning 3D and ZBrush I dropped "Absolute beginners ZBrush course" because I can't make this helm (or head?). Guess why? Cause I don't even know about Wacom pen pressure and HPolish brush just destroyed my mesh every time.

Sculpt was made in ZBrush, UV in Maya, retopology in 3DS Max, some custom alpha was made in Photoshop, rendered in Marmoset toolbag.
