SCI-FI TIME!

Hi Everyone!
This competition looked like a lot of fun, so I'm jumping on-board.
It's a good excuse/obligation to practise and experiment with new techniques.
I'm not aiming for realism - I want it to have a slight 'cartoon' feel, although the stylisation and motivation of the character might change somewhat as it develops.
This also serves as an opportunity to burn off some hype for upcoming games whilst simultaneously developing the portfolio... So here we go!

Idea:
I want to do a character that stands as a guardian avatar for its species - it will be the figurehead individual that symbolises the cultural principles of its race.

pro tip - if you want a great design - never ignore real life anatomy. even if character is made of and fictional.
and in sculpts - start at lowest subdivision and go up when you dont have nothing to do at courent subD. for now i see there is a lot to do at lower subdivisions.

good luck in further progress

Hi, thanks for the input. Usually, I would give more attention to real life, but that's not the kind of Universe I want this character to come from.

Although I appreciate the tip, I use a different workflow when making content. With organic characters, I create a simple, yet detailed body, and then after I am satisfied, I will destructively extrude appendages and create abnormalities in different regions, pretending that I'm inciting genetic mutations on the character. This is all done at a high subdivision level.
