[Original artwork](https://www.instagram.com/p/CazmZq7Drgk/) This time, apart from sculpting and texturing, I did the rigging so that I could pose it sitting down. ![front side-2](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/a/d/fad10af0b29e83e293ba205434d4d704a0d18506.jpeg) I started with blocking the model. ![1-blocking](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/c/2/f/c2f5595ebd642e573f3b0241fc074868e1ad3955.jpeg) Then, I sculpted each part. I decided to sculpt the creature standing as it is easier to sculpt and to rig. ![2-sculpt](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/a/b/dabdd771d2668eeb481f99d68995b8b81daeb7e9.jpeg) ![2-sculpt-front](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/b/1/db1eeada68d54e0465d80d828735216ac1198f25.jpeg) I retopologized it, making the whole body into a single mesh, except the limb located on its back, the claws, the eyes and the tongue. ![3-retopolgy](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/9/4/694ddd00207c018f0fe2b1608a88cc08e2970da6.jpeg) ![3-retopolgy-front](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/c/0/6c0b00ad66da6f3259a660a1614fc24859a6ead5.jpeg) I hand-painted all the texture maps, including roughness, specular, ambient occlusion and bump map. The eyes has a little bit of glow. ![4-texture paint](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/8/e/3/8e323853b4eee7b5e829ade6c5f8ed840c433227.jpeg) ![4-texture paint-front](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/a/2/da2f3f1ea40ca6f0aadcc3cf2e68f90212751d9f.jpeg) The rig was mainly to pose it like the original artwork. ![5-rigging](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/8/c/d/8cde8ce38d96f4138ffc69fe57f0cd4a35b0f979.jpeg) ![6-pose](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/a/a/5aa71fef4feb571a9aa00d7ffa6468f6c1ff606f.jpeg) ![front side](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/b/4/1b48c35cb1c1a30d21c9cecbf3218b0702667155.jpeg) ![sitting down0245](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/0/2/f/02f42b79d83cce5c8b11dee6acc0eb5143ae2995.jpeg) ![close up-2](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/7/7/67737cf3d03294401c911451d1069784b5d64094.jpeg) ![back side](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/f/b/1fb8af223c514195de9d8636be36fe4bc8586ccf.jpeg) ![looking down](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/5/e/45e52f1e2b685723ea435821e5426bf0e8a4a338.jpeg) ![sleeping](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/9/b/59b836bf85841db23841c5dc346eb74cedc65079.jpeg) Hope you like it ๐Ÿ™‚ ---
