This would've been Phobos in his final textured form, except for the part where some areas remain untextured. I can't remember how many hours I put into this. This was by far the most complicated organic model I have ever made.

The design was based on :iconmasterofhobbiton:'s preliminary mockups. I wanted to push myself into how far I could texture this monster of a model. It was going great, until I realized that I should've placed the flattened UV maps in their own UV tiles and compositing th...well...let's just say I made a mistake in the UV mapping :D :D :D

It's rather unlikely that I'll get to finish texturing him. Because of the mistake I made during UV mapping, it was really hard to align the textured areas to make one seamless skin. The claws, pelvic, and back areas were the hardest to texture.

The model was sculpted in Mudbox, subdivided to 25million polygons. The rendered 3ds Max model is 200,000 polys, rendered using Mental Ray. Textures made in Photoshop.

PS: I'd like to credit

:iconpharazon: for the concept sketch and advice,
:iconmasterofhobbiton: for the initial model
:iconmikek9dog: (aka praetormike) for advice on the legs.

Brilliant piece of work, I love the detail in the texture and the characteristics of the face, love to see it in an animation!

I didn't realize it was a 3-D model until I read the artist's comments... wow. I am very impressed.

Nice!

Reminds me of a creature from another Blizzard game, Duriel from Diablo 2.
