Wow, this is awesome. If you guys have not seen Michael Mentler's work check it out:

You Tube

He has had an ongoing thread on conceptart.org called bonehead nation...really awesome work.

Brett lets see some pics of that background image. That has your name written all over it!

Hey Penrod, will do on the shots as soon as I can, and yeah watching how Mentler goes about things is price enough to watch. Well since alot of people didn't respond, I thought I would bump my own thread :P and suggest a polycount meetup as well! As hopefully the idea of beer and food will help get a few of you guy's to the event Haha, if anyone is interested let me know and we can figure out a place to get together.

Mr. Mentler is indeed a master of anatomy. Along with the stellar roster I'm particularly interested in seeing Stephan Martiniere. His fantastical and versatile imagery has been an inspiration of mine for years. Can't wait to see what he has to say and maybe have an opportunity to bounce some ideas off of him. Thanks for posting this Brett! I'm there.

Ahh, so wish I could go...maybe next time? :P

can we get some more info on what is actually going to be covered?

Hey guy's thanks for some of the responses Was getting worried that no one would be interested!

Zamolxis: Stephan is very open to talking about what he does, so feel free to stop by and talk to him, I think he will be at a table saturday selling his books and such, so try then.
Gav: Ahh damn bud, wish you can make it..and next time for sure since I wont be making it to boston anytime soon.
Jeremy: Haha, glad you found it.
Nysuartro: Sorry about that, though I think Massive Black will be doing an event somewhere around Belgium, so keep an eye out.
Aftermath: Paul will be hitting the range, but I think will be giving out alot of high end tips as he always throws at me...he is full of Zbrush info. ( a must masterclass for anyone working in Zbrush )
KhAoZ: Hope you make it, since Houston is pretty close.

Thanks for looking guy's, and seriously let me know about a polycount meetup!
