Marco my hero

the difference from what they love from sculpt and i love from Video Games, they like a MOMENT and i like the living character for ever

Who is Louis Tucci? What does he do? Other than talk as a presenter... I'm just wondering. Times ave changed... Paul Gaboury used to be the spokesperson for Pixologic.

I would love to see a presentation of the zbrush project of the War Machine (XM 'War Tank' Exclusive) with the artist(s) who made it.

what is the joke about a chung chunga lun lee ? D'ont know what it is ?

yuuman...
