@rattlesnake: Thank you. It’s fun that you mention uv and overall texture resolution. I knew it was going to be a lot of surface to cover. But it turned out to be even more then expected. I very much wanted to push the functionality and fun aspects into this (such as opened chest and opened wings and shells). This does put a lot of pressure on uv.s and prioritisation. But I do love a challenge so ^^
Most of the time I let Marmoset stand for previewing.
I do use some color in specular map, mostly on hard shells covering the wings.
@Ferx: Bow, thank you kindly
A friend asked me about if I will show legs for it or not and how it was connected. I thought it might be fun for you guys to see as well. So here is a pic. It’s not something that will actually be shown on final model ^^ but still.
Now for podium. Hm, I am not sure if this is within the limits of what is acceptable. So I thought I fire it out there and see what you guys think. Just a fast mocap. Doing some skining/texturing for now. Would love to hear your opinion. I still haven’t got reply about the bugs question so I thought I show it here and hopefully get some clarity

Small test. Closed chest, opened wings and tweaked podium some. Will be shells of bugs that form the flower beneath.

@GnarART: Thanks, pushing as much as I can. Long, long days for me this last few weeks and very short nights
@rattlesnake: Thank you. Sounds great Will try to add some glowing particles if I will manage to get the time for it.
Glad you like it so far.
More work on pedestal and the pose. Parts are starting to fall into place now.

That’s a very good design. There is something totally creepy about his mask; I guess because it is simple and emotionless.
The 3D is shaping up great too. I love the materials, especially the red cloth.
Nice work!
