Hey Polycount!

A month ago I stumbled upon an old sculpt of mine started 3 years ago and decided to finish it. It is based on a concept by Xuexiang Zhang

Here's what it looks like now as a lowpoly in Marmoset :

Gonna be a strong 9/10 from me. Love the design and overall look, and enjoy that you kept the scales modeled on her... head...neck..thing? And the shadows they cast is pure

-1 because snakes shouldn't have tiddies

I love the effect you have on the flat parts of the metal.

Could you talk a bit on how you nailed this effect? Is it roughness-only texture overlay?

The design is very good and the details from the scales are extraordinary!

Oh neat! Xuexiang Zhang's concepts are always a lot of fun and this is a great translation of his naga-esque character. It would be neat to see some color gradients in there from dark to light from the hand-to-upper-arm and down through the tail, but really good stuff man. 👍

Thanks for the kind words guy!

@Thanez

Yes, it is a roughness-only texture overlay, here's what the roughness looks like :

@RocketBryan

Ah, putting some color gradients is a good idea, I'll try it out.
