Balin the Dwarf Collectible Zbrush sculpt

Hello!  In an earlier post I showed a picture of the Balin the Dwarf Collectible I sculpted for the Weta Workshop range of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey collectibles.  I mentioned that I would post pics of the actual Zbrush model, so here they are! I've also included some pics of the sculpt early on in the process.  It's been an amazing learning experience sculpting collectibles using Zbrush, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Here is a great article released by Weta Workshop about this model and Digital Sculpting at the Workshop:

A very early stage in the process, He doesn't look like Balin without the beard!

Looking a little more like himself, but still very early days.

An early version of the pose, he doesn't quite have the stern intent yet...
