This is my personal artwork that I finished just yesterday. However I started doing it about a year ago. It took me so long because I had to learn ZBrush a little bit just to be able to create this model. Also I could do it only in the evenings and on weekends. So it was the most difficult part for me that took me most of this time. Playing around with Photoshop begun merely few weeks ago.

I started with retouching the model. I painted some lights and shadows.Than I did some basic color correction and merged the lights that I rendered from Zbrush. After that I started adding some skin details and drawing the hole in the chest. I copied some parts of the skin to make the small door and did heavy retouching to fit the color and shading with the rest of the model. When all of this was done, I begun adding some skin details, and painting the hair on the chest, arms and the head. Last thing to do was to add the halo, color correction and the background.

Hope you enjoy it!
