New Zbrush WIP

I've slowing been churning through the 'Intro to Zbrush' book, which I am getting a lot out of. I found a lot of good information on the creation of brushes and alphas and I subsquently spent ALOT of time mucking around with scales for my snake sculpt, which has now become my main project for learning the techniques in the book.
I now consider the sculpting part of the model complete and I will be moving onto poly painting and materials in the final chapters of the book.
Hopefully in the end I should have a fairly decent render of my snake!

Here are some WIP shots, i'm running with the 2nd scales version!
