Philippine Sailfin lizard

This is a ZBrush model of a Philippine Sailfin Lizard rendered in Redshift for Maya. I created this originally as a demonstration for an online class I taught to some of the amazing artists working at the Smithsonian Institute. It was a lot of fun. I painted the colors in Zbrush and then created textures in Substance Painter. I hope to see one of these animals in real life some day. I would say its my favorite lizard but every lizard I see is my favorite lizard. Dragons are real!! Trees and palm fronds are all Megascans assets. love the Megascans.

This version was an attempt to imitate the wide angle style of one of my favorite photographers Piotr Naskrecki. Check out his books "Relics" and "The Smaller Majority".
