shoutout to Jimmie Floyd for continued help with making a scaly/dinosaur like creature!


Schedule
Although not 100% finalized on the textures, this does provide a good base to utilize the mesh maps and add any manual adjustments in 3D Coat. There are some areas of the model that im not happy with, largely the fins and back plates as well as some minor holes in the mesh that got created when working on the UVs. Majority of the feedback given is going to be handled in handpainting where im able to touch up parts of the design on a more manual level.
