Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetle..... WIP

Here is my last work, it's a Work in Progress of the principal character from the old animated tv show beeltejuice.
I was lucky enough to find an original concept from the art departement. see at the bottom of this message
I prefer showing him without hair until i do it with Hair'n Fur from 3dsmax.
Actually everything is done with zbrush, now i'm gonna export it to 3dsmax for retopology, textures, Blendshape...
