Heya! Welcome to the forums. I really like the background you made for Gavin. Nice and detailed, but colored distinctly so everything is clear.
The problem with ears is that they’re so small in non-closeup pictures. If you added more details/scars, the end result might look a bit messy from further away.
If you really want scars or battle damage for your characters, though, look no further than the Zombie-categories. This one has a scar from Head -> Zombie. I have also found success with this Insignia item, which I masked to the ear here.
If you use them, you might want to fiddle a bit with the colors and transparencies, too, so that the scars blend a bit better into the surrounding skin.
This is Keira Lockhart, my battlefield medic. Boy, was she a blast to roleplay! She was born in Ireland (spelled in my RPG\fanfics as “Eire”) and her late husband was from the highlands of Scotland (now don’t go confusing the Hig’la’ders with the Skaats ;)). And did she ever have a thick brogue on her!! She dropped her leading aitches, trailing tees and dees, any hard cees or kays before tees…
I doona think there’re but one in ten in th’ room what could understand ‘er once she got herself on a tear…
She was widowed (on the ba’tlefield, poor thing), but later remarried (although her second marriage turned into The Notebook, so I’m not so sure how happy that worked out for her). She’s a bit of an apprentice priestess to my main character (whom the series is tentatively named after), and the religion is somewhat of a mish-mash of old polytheistic societies.
So here’s my first stab at Gavin, my main character’s brother. He’s a bodyguard, 7’0″ tall, and he’s supposed to be a massive, hulking brute. A flesh-colored wall, as it were. Here he’s training outdoors. In the interests of full disclosure, I’ll admit I did some polishing in Paint after finishing him in HM3 – but I was able to get a lot done in Hero Machine first!
I’m only a little bothered by his ears. They’re not as damaged/scarred as I’d like them to be, but they’re better than I thought I’d get. I really wish there was an option where I could import or upload my own image to use as (say) an insignia, then I could add that item to his left bicep, mask it to his arm, and rotate it into place. Then it would be perfect!
Ok, here’s my half of the trade. Hope you like.
I had some fun making fan signs in the background.
I was going for an 80s heavy metal costume, complete with animal leg boots, leathery cavewoman-ish dress and threw in some wing-like guitar straps. Oh…and don’t forget the skull guitar. Party on!
Nice dude. Love the shading and the pose. Not sure what’s going on with the costume, but it looks cool.
I’d like to fight the verdict, BUT the thing is, EVEN I can see that Herr D’s is better!
The Leopard prints are the way I would present a micro collection.
