This is a Queen Monster. She has her young growing on her torso. I've been working on this for the past month or so. I created most of the base meshes in zbrush using zspheres and doing all of the detailing in there as well. I rendered this using Mental Ray's SSS Shader. For texturing help I also used crazy bump to help pull out a lot of details from my normal map. The rendered mesh of the monster is about 25,000 polies not including additional meshes used for slime drips and webbing.
