My First Foray Into ZBrush

Got a Digital Tutors account and finally dusted off ZBrush. I'll admit I've been terrified of using the program for a while now, but it is pretty awesome (at least the parts where I'm not confused or infuriated). I've been following along with a very basic tutorial that gives me the lay of the land and over the course of several installments leads me to build my first "scene". Tonight's section was the lay of the land and some proper sculpting and tool management. I learned the basics of what to do in the program and at the end of it all, had this base mesh for what will eventually be a little turntable.

Here's my first night's progress with the tutorial, I'm going for a grassy hill with what is supposed to be a large rock in the middle there. Eventually I'll paint it and all that other neat stuff, and the tutorial also teaches some of the fiber mesh uses, so I'll hopefully get some real grass on there. All in all I love the program despite a slight hiccup where it kept crashing because of RAM.
