Below concept art for the next stage of progress

Wallace says: "Heres a rough basic concept. The only thing missing is the all the wood planks. But I will model them in:) Also missing is the moss. You can also see what I meant about the metal plating on the AARDVARK part of the title. But Ill add a bit more rust and dirt to the texture:)"

Wallace says:
"I got the base texture done for the CEREBUS part of the title so far(ZBrush poly paint). I also have my psd set up now. I would say in a 2 or 3 more days and it will be complete.
Right now all your looking at is a diffuse map plugged in. I dont have a bump, spec gloss(eccentricity) maps yet. It will look a lot better up close when I finish it:) The bump, spec and gloss will help a ton for that stuff.
My psd is 8192 but the rendered texture I sent you is at 4096 for testing.
Then Ill get the lower letters done:)"
