His Dark Materials - Wyvern concept for Creature FX

This model was created to assist the Creature FX team working on the third series of His Dark Materials. It's based on supplied 2D concept art and was built to demonstrate how a human operator could be enclosed within the "costume".
Though not destined for production, the team wanted to push a little on visual quality and detail.
The feathers are a mixture hand placed geometry and xGen hair. Textures were achieved in Photoshop and Substance Painter.
