I've always wanted a merlion statue of my own, and keegan Too's scan (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1698961) was a great place to start. But I realized the scan was really missing some details. So I took it into blender and using the crease tool added a little more detail.
The face, hair, tail, and base got all the attention. I didn't do anything with the scales on the body. But I'm happier with it now.
