Hi everyone, here is the latest project I have published recently: it’s a Fantasy Reptile model I have created by mixing together the Cruziohyla Craspedopus frog, Crested Gecko and Common basilisk species.
I love reptiles and animals in general, and this is the first time I try to create a fantasy one (apart from speed sculpting projects).
I’m pretty satisfied with the final result and hope you like it too ^^
Everything was done in Blender.
I created the basemesh using skin modifiers and subsurf, then switched to sculpting. For sculpting I first used the remesh technique to create the basis, then retopologized everything and used multires to add details like skin, wrinkles and such. Then I did the UVs, baked the displacement and normals and switched to texture painting.
I used a layered texturing technique with black and white masks that allowed me to create different color variations of the model. Let me know if you like any of them more than the original one 
Once the texturing was done, I created two renders: one in nature and a simple “studio” style render.
I’m also working on an animation of this dude and I hope I’ll be able to publish it soon
