plant creature

With the alien plant project i was looking at doing something with an aggressive vibe, i wanted a plant that looked like it would have to be aggressive in order to get food to survive so i was looking at a very mutant looking man eating plant, i did a few simple sketches of different variants and decided on one to roll with after creating a basic mesh in 3ds max i eventually brought it into Mudbox to add the extra details and textures, i wanted to do a simple Paintover in Mudbox, instead i had to use Photoshop to do the painting which i didn't really want to do but the mesh was puled in a way in which i couldn't manipulate the paint, rather than create a new plant.
