This is a character and creature I created based on my concept (seen on my illustration page). I imagined the warrior to link his bird to his magical sword, summoning a larger version for combat. Nerdy stuff I know. He comes in around 73k tris with hair cards and all. His resolution is 4096 for the bod and head with lesser sheets for hair and weapons.  I used Substance Painter, Zbrush, and Maya as well as Photoshop and Ndo. His Kite Bird companion came in around 26000 tris.
