The "Night Watch" is a made up snoring security guard of the �Rijksmuseum� in Amsterdam. The name of this piece refers to the famous Night Watch painting of Rembrandt you find in this museum. The image is inspired by works of Norman Rockwell and Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.
This is a close-up of the character I made for the ZBrush 4R2 beta. I used NoiseMaker with custom tileable textures to create the fabric patterns and I spent quite some time working with LightCaps and materials. This was great fun, fast and really powerful. With the improved BPR I tried to create an image that has a typical global illumination (sun and sky) feel to it, including the low sampling noise you quite often see. I hope you like it.
