4. Pose out of symmetry
5. Render and composite in Photoshop

1. Dynamesh of rough form:

2. Retopologize (within ZBrush)

koi fish 2 - remeshed

3. Add detail: sculpting, roll alpha scale brushes while still symmetrical. This took some brushwork experimentation to match up scales effectively, etc.
