Big Drongo

Big Drongo - Concept by J. Chapman https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JmQRv for the Wild West Challenge. Had a lot of fun and challenging times with Big Drongo. I wanted to work with PBR but still do something stylized and found the big guy to be a good fit. All of J. Chapman's concepts were great, but Big Drongo really beared the spirit of the Wild West. The whole model has 27.5 tris. The bear and the rock base went on two 2k maps and the body and armor went on a 4k. All the bakes were done in Blender, can't really say yet if I like it more for baking than xNormal. I spent too much time sculpting (redoing the fur until I got something I was happy with) and missed the deadline but still wanted to finish and not rush the final piece. (It was really hard not to put a bunch of bear puns in this description)
