Lizard Model Update (Patreon)

Update is on the right!
Giving the bluejay a revamp for that recent animation gave me the urge to give another older model a similar treatment! The lizard here is a character I've always liked the design for, but her model was starting to show it's age compared to my newer ones. The face in particular was giving me some serious odo vibes for some reason. Not good!
So I picked her all apart and put her back together again but better. Of the visual changes the face is the most obvious one- that needed a lot of work. But I also made subtle tweaks everywhere. Once again there are also a lot of mechanical changes which you mostly can't see, updating how joints bend and stuff. You can see a little bit of one if you look at her elbow in the bottom pictures. Just looks a bit better when bent now- that's the sort of mechanical tweak I made quite a few of. Also a lot of usability things when it comes to rigging. Basically, she's refreshed and ready to go in the event we see her put to use in the near future.
I don't know if anyone else cares about these, but it's super satisfying for me! It's a bit like fixing a car or the like, taking something that's not working and getting it up to snuff. Feels good.
