final back view

final front view

i used photo projection from Zbrush from about 6 different texture photos to create the texture

i also created the normal map AO map and cavity map i zbrush to achieve the desired texture

here i used hedus to unwrap and generate the uv maps needed for texturing

same here but on the head in topogun

here i took the body into topo gun to make the topology good for animation

here i gave him a subtle texture and textured the mane

here is a bit of tweaking and opened the mouth and sculpted the teeth

here i took the old head off fabio and pushed and pulled it and the mane till it looked like this

made is hands and started on his head

i started making a much more physical intimidating character

i fixed the silhouette of the last image and was liking it until at work one day i thought he looked like he should be called Fabio so i had to start again 

made this very angular character it got good feed back but i felt it wasn't my style

my initial character was very early days needed work
