It’s not just a totem, in his original island he served also as an artifact who could encapsulated 2 demon: fear and wrath. Today in a cosy interior he serve’s as an ashtray.
That’s for the pitch. About realisation. I used blender for modeling scultping and rendering; to baked and textured i used substance painter and because of that i keeped each parts separately, to avoid issues with sharp angle and overlapping on geometry during baking.
In blender with normal map and multires, my gear can handles 4k texture and work smoothly (without 
no i can’t).
