One of the largest creatures I was tasked with the creation of was the Bulgodo; an elephant-sized reptilian beast of burden analogous to a war elephant or a ceratopsian. I went over my initial concept development of this creature in another project, but being able to take my concept work and fully realize it in 3D was incredibly rewarding.
Early in 2023 I was tasked with giving the creature a 'face-lift', improving the topology and density of the mesh, as well as an additional texture pass to add further individual variation to the species.
