Simple Creature P.1

For this project, I am focusing on character modeling. I am modeling a creature created by CreatureBox. 

Here is the concept I am working from:

First, I made a low-poly proxy model in Maya, smoothed it, and then I imported it into ZBrush. Here is a ZBrush render of the non-smoothed proxy:

After that, I subdivided my model and lined it up with the reference image with the spotlight tool. I extracted the extra spikes using masks and the move tool. 

Here is the reference set up in ZBrush:

Here is the render of the final blockout:

For my next steps, I will be sculpting in the wrinkles and any extra bumps.
