Armoured Shark

This was my first model using Zbrush along with Substance Painter, it was apart of my final project at university. It was a game prototype called Project Orca which was a 3rd person survival game, set in a post flooded world beset by monstrous sea creatures and humanity clinging to the tops of tall buildings to survive.

There was quite a lot of dramatic changes when making this model, as I was experimenting and trying a bunch of different things. At one point I was planning on making the armour plates on the back more coral like, but it came off as too busy which I changed for a more simplistic look. I also converted the model into a low poly version, the original is the clay textured one. Overall I'm happy how it turned out for the end of the project, I would have liked more time with substance to work on the textures more.
