Compsognathus Sculpt (The Lost World: Jurassic Park)

I made this in early February to get back into ZBrush sculpting and was really happy with how it came out! Dinosaurs are still way easier to sculpt than humans, but I'm getting there. My main references were screencaps and photos of the puppets used in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, along with pictures from their models in Jurassic World Evolution's Return to Jurassic Park DLC. There are a few inconsistencies between all the different versions so I tried to settle on a happy middle ground for things like eye colours and teeth placement. Definitely want to sculpt more dinosaurs after how well this one turned out. Texturing was done with some simple polypaint, nothing fancy.

Tried throwing it into Maya/Arnold just out of curiosity.  The default material setup in ZBrush definitely looks nicer. I may come back and rig it sometime, and make the materials look better for Arnold.
