HCR #25: THE OCEANS - Walrus Diorama

Walrus is a cool modeling subject, with all the skin folds it could give a really sick sculpt. Looking forward to it :D

Still thinking about what sort of environment/situation to put it in but will start making the base mesh soon.

[PorkpieSamurai]

Got some time to make a base mesh. Probably need to go back and alter it for the tail and also
add some more loops in some areas. I'll test it out in zbrush and see how it goes.

Awesome. The walruss is looking really great so far. I'm loving the skin folds, and there's great character in his face.
