I've got a set of free tutorial presentations in world on using blender for sculpties, they were made before Domino's scripts became the method of choice, using the earlier manual method.
The method of actually creating the sculpt map from scratch is a little picky and may not be the greatest for the first time blender sculptor, but it leads naturally into the intermediate/advanced topics of how to use materials baking and texture painting to make textures for the sculpties. Be my guest and have a browse through the 3 levels, I can field questions if you have them
