Wow, the shape of the horns is really an art! Very beaytiful. And the armour! Looks great and very good balanced! I hope to see your textures soon. Good luck!

Callisto! - Thank you!
I had very hard time doing low poly, for this beast. But - mapping and baking stage was not a big issue. I think I am done with normal maps and, finally, went deep into Substance Painter 2. Hope I will be able to finish him in time)
