Cartoon cute dinosaur toy 3D model

Today, I took on an exciting challenge by trying to craft something incredibly simple. I planned to create a 3D sword adorned with ornaments, but things didn't go as expected. Every step I took was met with frustration and mistake after mistake. I finally realized that this sword wasn't meant to be created today. However, I refused to let the day go to waste, so I fired up Pexologic ZBrush 4R7 and set out to think of a new project idea - something more along the lines of my previously shared dolphin model. As I brainstormed, I suddenly remembered a beloved toy from my childhood that still brings a smile to my face. It was a small ball with an endearing face that could be filled with water, squeezed, and then spray it in all directions. The goofy design might have seemed dull at first, but the memories of my excitement when I got one as a kid remain vivid. Today's goal was to recreate this toy using ZBrush. I started by sculpting a funny ball with a tongue sticking out of its mouth, but instead of what I expected, it began taking on a funny chest armor shape. Intrigued, I tried to bring this design to life as a cartoon alien figure wearing the armor, but my enthusiasm soon gave way to frustration. As I wrestled with getting the proportions right, an idea struck me: I'd create a cartoon head and torso, allowing for greater creative freedom. With a sense of excitement, I sculpted the head - complete with eyes, a mouth that looked like it was about to burst into laughter, and even the decision that this character would have a lizard's head. The creative momentum didn't let up there; instead, it fueled my drive to give this character its very first form. Next thing I knew, my fingers were moving rapidly across the screen as I set to work creating textures and displacements - giving it all the depth and detail I envisioned for it to be a beloved toy. Finally, as if destiny had already guided me towards this path, I brought forth from it's initial lizard shape - now evolving into a toy-sized dinosaur - complete with hundreds of intricately designed polygons, each painstakingly created and refined until perfection.
