Hello  
It is the first time I post here, and here is my first work done in Blender.  
it was a wonderful journey of sculpting, texturing, and lighting!  
Lighting and rendering I did in Blender

Was sculpting convenient for you or you were wishing it was Zbrush? I can’t stand sculpting in blender ☹  
edit: amazing work!

Hello  
Thank you 🙂  
I did lighting and rendering in blender  
Sculpting I did in Zbrush. But Blender sculpting is also very good but not for very high poly.

the shader is pretty simple, it based on maps created in SP and I added some noise node for extra little details

Sorry for very late reply, in Zbrush you can sculpt very high res models and you also have more verity of brushes. These will be the main differences I would say.
