Spider creature

This project started as a submission to the creature creation contest (entry page found here : https://www.therookies.co/entries/4218) But I then decided to try to make the character in 3D.

Below is the sculpt from zbrush and then below that is the Vray render of the retoplogized and textured character, this character proved to be a huge challenge for me due to my lack of experience when creating characters along with the complexity of the design, I had to make conscious decisions on how the pieces of the character would be separated for unwrapping and re topology for this i decided to try and take an optimised game mesh approach hence the legs have 2 variants all unwrapped onto one sheet as well as the spinal ridges all share the same texture space. notable design changes were made when taking to 3D one being the hair length and coverage as this was my first attempt at Xgen and game ready hair cards I plan to revisit this in future.

Any CnC is welcome!
