Alien Rodent
An alien rodent based on Earth's rodents, meerkat , various reptiles and fish. Here it's rendered in real-time with a low-poly game mesh. It's part of a group of creatures all based on African fauna.
The rodent has 2 color variations adapted for life on the savanna and jungle, and 2 rarely occurring melanistic and leucistic color patterns. With it's outwardly curved horns, the rodent sticks it's head into the soil, moves it left and right to dig it's burrows, which functionally resembles the use of a shovel.
The low-poly mesh is comprised of body and eye meshes. 5678 polygons in total.
The body textures are at 2K and the eyes at 2K.

Normal maps, one of the diffuse maps and a texture with 3 channels each of which controls Ambient Occlusion, Roughness and Metalness. All at 2048 X 2048.
Same as the body at 2048 X 2048. Including a parallax map so the iris looks like it has depth.
The ol' Cat-lizard got rendered in real-time this time around with his new pals. The ground,grass and log are quixel megascan assets.
