Here is an elk mount, named Floki, that I sculpted for the open world RPG, KAIA, that I am working on at SCAD. I may go back and paint some more emmisive veins on the antlers and perhaps to the tusks.
I also created the main character: KAIA (Seen riding Floki in the photo).
Check out KAIA here: https://www.kaiathegame.com/
The elk is retopologized and game-ready.
Some of the inspirations include the Japanese Water Deer (Tusks), the extinct Irish Elk (Large height and selected features), Thranduil's Elk, "The Witcher", and "Shadow of The Colossus" (The stone parts).
The spurs aid the player with mounting the elk.
