Saga is a great comic, so thought I'd try make a more realistic version of Lying Cat. Was a good learning experience, finally got to properly dig into Texturing XYZ textures too - they're brilliant.
Sculpted in Zbrush, Skin texturing done in Mari and Substance for the Collar, additional modelling in Maya. Rendered in Arnold. A quick 20 minute Xgen Groom too, because it would be rude not to.
