Zodiac Constellation Pepakura Project - Capricorn
Capricorn is the tenth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Capricornus. In astrology, Capricorn is considered an introvert sign, an earth sign, and one of the four cardinal signs. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. In Sidereal astrology, the sun currently transits the constellation of Capricorn from, approximately, January 15 - February 14.
By the Middle Eastern Mythology:
The constellation was a symbol of the god Ea. and in the Early Bronze Age marked the winter solstice. He has the lower half of a fish and the head and torso of a goat. The god lived in the ocean. He came out every day to watch over the land, and he returned to the sea every night.

At beginning, I was wondering what would be this model look like, so I choose the Middle Eastern's thought and give a search online for reference and practice what can the basic shape be

After deciding the base shape, I use "adapt skin" tool to transfer the shape out and try couple time for zRemeser to low down the poly and adding subdivision to start sculpting.
I have spent enough time on the detail sculpting, but accident clicked off the "edit" and better work flies away since I turn off the autosave, this is my second attends. This time I turn on the autosave, and it saved me couple times.
After finished the sculpting, I start drawing the wireframes for low-poly mesh
I create a zSphere in sub tool and put it inside the Capricorn's mesh, and start to trace the face for re-topology! After all done it looks very interesting at the moment. It seems like the wire frame with a heart. On preview mode, is more like a ghost/ soul with the heart.
"adapt skin" again, bakes out the mesh
now Sub tool list will have three items
one original, one zSphere, and one low-poly mesh
Here are the images in pepakura structure
Color repaint and white tape over the suface to show the poly frames
