I had planned on using Zbrush to do all the skin pores, lip creases, metal scratches etc etc and generate normal maps from that. But I don't think it's wise to invest too much time into the program just yet because I need to get on with creating the models. My knowledge of Maya modelling is more than enough to see me through. Combined with the Nvidia normal map tool in Photoshop, I should be okay.Long live Maya's Sculpt Geometry Tool!

Hey Jonny,
Take a look at the following blog - it's Phill Hoskings' work (the guy who teaches digital painting and concept art etc. with us).
He's also relatively new to ZBrush, but he comes from a sculpting background and his understanding of human anatomy is excellent... you may want to follow his blog and start up some conversation.

If you don't have time to get used to Zbrushs obscures Gui and controls, go mudbox! Takes like half an hour to get into that, simple-straight forward maya-controls. Just look through some tuts on stencils and layers and you'll be set to do most you can in zbrush without all the fancy-pancy tools! ;)
