Not Lara Croft Part 2 (the 3D)

Why did I call this "Not Lara"? Because the sketch started off as Lara Croft.
But in the very next version it became something else, which I was too lazy to name right away, so I simply called it NotLara. That stuck, and I never came back to give it a proper name.

Here's Part 1 of this post:

where I show the process of the sketch.
When we last saw the sketch, it looked like this, all 2d, not very polished, but enough to start working in 3d.

I started in Maya with some blocking out.

I found I should move the tongue of the creature from her front to her back for a more dynamic pose:

Then I started sculpting in ZBrush:

Adding colors - and perhaps a bit too much subsurface scattering:

Adding the girl and her gun:

I took it back into Maya to render some passes, that I later combined in Photoshop. For instance an Ambient Occlusion pass, one pass for the blue light, one for the laser light, etc:

Finally I painted on top of the whole thing, to make it more like my vision. The closeup at the the top is the final version of this one.

Let me know what you think, if you have feedback, or what's your first reaction, how do you think this would play out as a scene from a movie, what soundfx would there be, what's her back story, etc. :)
Thanks for watching!
