Any ways, play with zbrush more, you can make really beautiful things in there, it's limitless. I will be posting a zbrush creature (probably my final entry) in a week or two. If you do more stuff, I would be more than glad to give you some pointers!

Keep up the good work everybody!!

Your right about reference, I'll get better I'm pretty quick at this sort thing. Agree with you about its center of gravity but i think your going to cringe when you actually see certain things in spore.

Also I did feared that it wouldn't resemble a Spore like sort of thing, didn't want anyone to go "what the juice is this?!". Admittedly I'm still a bit rubbish at zbrush, I'm just making excuses.

Though I've try modelling a simple mesh in Max then working on it in zbrush and I've had mixed results.

I think Zbrush just takes a lot of getting used too no matter how many videos or tips you hear about it just comes down to practice.

I did use zspheres and I haven't really done painting in it before, I've pretty much been using a tablet with it from the start which helps a lot. I think my problem is just being a little impatience at the moment like you said.

First 3D package I learnt was 3D studio max then it was Maya and then it was zbrush (can be classed as a 2d as well as 3d application) .

Look forward to seeing your design though.
