Before I started texturing I had in mind that he would have skin like a hippo/boar and in my research - end up going for a dappled skin pattern adapted from a sow and a fawn. In the process of polypainting I wanted to add a few details and wanted to refine the detail on the horseshoes so create a number of custom alpha brushes.
I then plotted out rough projections of the textures both as a plan and as reference to project with the zproject brush.
