The Gecko Project

Lately I have been working on a sculpt of a leopard gecko for my portfolio.

I created a base mesh in Maya to import into Zbrush.

Lovely little thing, isn't it? (sarcasm.)

Well, I need references, don't I? Well, luckily for me I'm just chalk full of leopard geckos. For this sculpt, I used Diesel, one of my larger geckos.

The victim  model.

So, after taking some decent reference pictures of Diesel (which he didn't quite appreciate), I started the sculpt. I'm a few hours into it and keep finding myself readjusting limbs. I'm probably going to need to retopo this thing pretty soon before I go much further.

As always, any critiques are welcome! Thank you for looking and hopefully I'll have an update for this very soon. I can't wait to start adding the skin texture. Oh, also, I have joined Twitter. Follow me at the3Dgecko!
