My attempt at a Bloodguard

Interesting! Good job, by the way. Not the way I pictured Bloodguard, but my imagination was never very good, so take my comments with a few grains of salt.

I love the effort! Keep it up!

[Rocksister]

Wish I could see the facial expression a little better. I might be confusing them with Ramen, but didn't the Bloodguard have tanned skin? Short vellum-like brown tunics with bare legs and feet? Jeez, I am going to have to read the books all over again, aren't I? Yay!! Super talent, Hue. Are you Hue Jackman, Sexiest Man Alive?

I can be for you Rocksister,

Maybe it's just me, but the way the lighting hits his "pecs" makes them look just a tad feminine...

On Haruchai:

They were like Stonedownors in size and build, but they were flat-faced and brown-skinned, with curly hair cropped short. They wore short ocher tunics belted in blue that appeared to be made of vellum, and their lower legs and feet were bare.

On "like Stowndowners in size and build":

Most of the people were shorter than [Covenant] was-and considerably shorter than Trell - and they had dark hair, brown or black, again unlike Trell. But they were a stocky, broad-shouldered breed, and even the women and children gave an impression of physical strength.

On Ochre: golden-yellow or light yellow-brown; #CC7722; link

I also got that impression.

Thanks for all the feedback so far. All your comments will be incorprecated in MK3 BG. The one thing that people have not remarked on is whether the face is flat enough?

Once again many thanks for your comments and I eagerly await further feedback.

Nice one hue of bone.

My only comment - I would think short sleeves for ease of movement.

[hue of fuzzpaws]

I had not thought of that, thank you.

The one thing that people have not remarked on is whether the face is flat enough?

I've seen how in your last pic you attempted to achieve that.

I'm not really aware of what you are capable of with the software you are using. So I'm not sure what kinds of comments can be helpful. To me, a "flat face" means a wide as well as flat nose, eyes that are not set far back into the head, and perhaps high cheekbones to frame the face.

Lots of people at one time or another had thought that Haruchai could be similar to a Polynesian, or a New Zealand aborigine, or a Nepalese, or an American Indian, or a Peruvian, etc. One thing in common is that they all convey a very exotic quality (at least, to western sensibilities), as well as strength. You couldn't go too far wrong in trying to capture some of that exoticness.

[wayfriend]

Better. I think that would agree with very many's people visualization of a Haruchai face. (It isn't mine though.)

[Auleliel]

Maybe a little bit wider with not so high of a forehead?

[wayfriend]

Here are some (in my opinion) good candidates for Haruchai faces.


(Sherpa)


(Peruvian)

(Someone's idea of Maori... maybe you can cut&paste?

[Relayer]

Yep. I've always thought of Sherpas, partly because they also live among the high peaks and frozen desolate wastelands.

[wayfriend]

Yep. Your getting there. You now have a Haruchai with styled hair.

[hue of fuzzpaws]

Bravo, just the effect I was hoping for.

hehehe

Thanks for the feedback so far.

On a more serious note. If people could indicate which face they consider more Haruchai-like, that would be helpful

so either ;
