Do Haruchai have beards? I see no references to any.
I did find this:

I did find this:
"alien countenance" suggests to me a significant racial dissimilarity with Covenant's norm. Which, as has been mentioned, brings to mind something like Maori, or Inuit, or Tibetan, etc. Such a race may have no facial hair, which lends all the more to the notion of an "alien countenance".In [i]The Illearth War[/i] was wrote:Looking now at Bannor, with his alien countenance and his bare feet and his short brown tunic, Covenant received a sudden intuitive impression, as if a previous subliminal perception had crystallized.
Other clues:

A wee little update-ling ere I vanish offline for some time. Hue's been twiddling with the controls of the new program version, and discovered a wherewith to improve hips. Hence, Rime might end up such as this.
Grueburn/Stonemage will be slimmer.
I've met the like in the sauna. Scale that up to 11ft, however.

Hey ... I found this in the GI today, looking for something completely different.wayfriend wrote:"alien countenance" suggests to me a significant racial dissimilarity with Covenant's norm.

It was obvious all along! We just didn't know it was.In the Gradual Interview was wrote:Can you describe how you developed the Haruchai? I pictured them as vaguely Polynesian or perhaps Southeast Asian, and wondered if you had any specific image or concept before creating the Bloodguard and their ancestral people.
- I imagine it's obvious that I had a vaguely Southeast Asian "type" in mind. As I think I explained much earlier in this interview, when I planned the first "Covenant" trilogy I concentrated on "roles" rather than on "characters": I knew what, say, Giants or Bloodguard or Ramen were going to do, but I didn't necessarily know what they were like; I discovered their character(s) as I wrote. (Incidentally, as I've also explained, I no longer work that way.) Well, when all you have is a "role," sometimes you need more to help you discover the "character." And at that time (the early 70's), I had the vague--if false--idea that martial arts existed as a Southeast Asian phenomenon. So I started there.

Did you unearth anything about the Giants being either Norse or Mediterranean? We know for sure they're not Estonian!wayfriend wrote: It was obvious all along! We just didn't know it was.
We're still proceeding with the collab, but after Hue had upgraded the software, some setbacks occurred. For instance the old faces could not be imported to the hippier bodies so he had to begin from scratch with the ladies. After one discarded set of faces, some new samples (not final renders, in progress and going through some tweakery) here. The faces aren't exact clones of those met on page 1, but rather close.
Thoughts on these?
Grueburn's missing her lashes here.
She'll get some aging and softening (esp. around the hips) plus full anatomical correctness in the next phase.

Won't be traveling for the next couple of weeks, so we may advance in this a bit again. The process consists of a fair deal of test renders and redlining that won't get posted to the Watch. The big belles and Longwrath will find their eventual forms at some point.
Now, how do you fellows perceive an Onyx Stonemage with such a countenance? Her body's in-progress.

Where's everyone again?
Longwrath became resurrected from scratch as well. If Hue upgrades the software yet again at some point, one has to hope it will import these sans trouble. LW caroused around as a pretty blondeboi a mere few days agone, but acquired a swarthier spectrum overnight.
How to include the scar/rest of the disfigurement remains under discussion.
Moreover the physique will change into something more giantish.

I miss the feral glee of the fanged, curly-bearded, wild-haired Longwrath from your solo version, Frostie. I understand that 3D hair is difficult, from what you have been saying. But I am surprised you could give it up.
Onyx Stonemage is a good character. She seems a bit re-imagined, except for the blue hair.
Grueburn, however, is recognizable from afore.
I want to say that I also saw Rime Coldspray there? Seems a bit jovial, though, for Captain Serious. It's hard to be sure, since staring at some of these pictures for a long time while I am at work is a bit of an issue.

Thanks everyone.
(Remember though that she's from a different galaxy compared to the First in the humor department. She's depicted laughing and bantering with the hird quite often, whereas stern Gossamer performed the previous once, offscreen.)
Mayhap try staring them at home?
A less pixelated Longwrath to match. They're clearly amid a snarling contest. Who will win?
Yup that's her, but took a while of feedback/redlining exchange to craft a properly aged countenance.
