Testing out armor decor ideas for my Darth Bane 3D bust. The face is starting to feel like Bane as I see him, although it is too early to sculpt the skin micro details.
For the armor decorations I first compose a 2D image with number of circles and spokes in grayscale. White represent elevation and black is hollow depth. Then I transform the 2D result into a 3D mesh that I can integrate into the sculpture.
In Zbrush the best path for a high quality mesh result, in my experience, is transforming the 2D design into an IMM brush which I can later deform into fitting the target shape.
If I just use a 2D alpha with a DamStandard brush then I don't get the same height effect or mesh quality and I often end up with unwanted distortions in the mesh.

A 1984 setting is established and the lyrics follow suit:
"Feeling ugly, looking pretty"
She is trapped in a system requiring her to obey immoral policies, but outwardly she looks great.
"Word is written, bond is broken
No big secret left unspoken"
Families and social contracts are broken and there is surveillance everywhere. Privacy and secrets have become impossible.
"Sun is painted in the corner
But it's never getting warmer"
The propaganda is displayed everywhere but its falseness is tangible; there is no improvement in spite of the constant assurances. The propaganda is made permanent as if it was painted in the corner of your eye.
"All the lies they keep on selling
But you never check the spelling"
A constant stream of lies and propaganda, yet few are questioning the statements.
"Flying bullets hit the targets
Wings and halos, five to seven"
The system is ejecting a swarm of projectiles in the form of propaganda and compliance regulations and the targets are hit with these bullets.
"Brain is useless, chair is rocking
Open doors for dead man walking"
In a society where you are censored and restrained from exercising your free agency, your brain becomes useless without any reach or impact.
Luckily, in 2009 we also had the emergence of Bitcoin, providing humanity with the tech to safeguard individual property rights and our freedoms that depend on them, to resist a dystopian outcome.
