The idea for this personal project was to have a final 2D image by the end of the day using 3D as a tool rather than a goal.
To meet that deadline I had to get away with not doing the uvs so I decided the most efficient way to do that was using the Vertex Paint from Blender to paint over the high poly model that I imported from Zbrush.
