Feraligatr Concept

I wanted to try working on doing quick sculpts and painting over in Photoshop since I wanted to get into doing concept art more and since Character Design Challenge had so many inspirational entries I thought this would be the perfect time to practice sculpting in Zbrush, quickly rendering in Keyshot and painting over in Photoshop.

I wanted this to be a continuation of "what if Pokemon were real" since I started with Beedrill. I combined several ideas for Feraligatr like using a kangaroo for the body structure since its legs were said to be powerful but in the end I went with more of a Komodo,Galapagos Iguana look. I also stumbled upon carnufex carolinensis and thought it was a living, breathing, Feraligatr.

Anyway, this was fun to come up with within the day. I plan on making an animation of Feraligatr vs Blastoise in the future with of course higher quality 3D model and complete 3D render. Any comments and suggestions to improve the concept further would be appreciated :)
