Pete Juujärvi - Creature Modeling and Texturing

Swamp wyrm

A moderately mean and slightly savage draconic creature living in swamps and wetlands. Basically a snake-like crocodilian-moray eel hybrid.

The model was sculpted in Zbrush and retopologized in Maya. After retopo I created a base layer of scales in Mari with Texturing XYZ maps before finishing the sculpt in Zbrush. Textures were made in Substance 3D painter. Rendered in Arnold for Maya and final touches were made in Photoshop. The design by myself.
