I just downloaded EvilKeeper (a robed and hooded figure) from PowerWorld but, as usual I want more variety. So, what, in your opinion, makes a character look really villionous? I can imagine clothes with lots of very dark colors and leering expressions but what else? ----------------------------------- Tormie Thursday, 13 July 2006, 11:41 PM ----------------------------------- A hump, a blind eye, the sort of inability due to a hard work in the country ----------------------------------- TdaC Friday, 14 July 2006, 12:02 AM ----------------------------------- horns, fangs, long dirty nails, claws... ----------------------------------- duttond Friday, 14 July 2006, 11:53 AM ----------------------------------- Thanks...good ideas both of you. ----------------------------------- rayera Wednesday, 19 July 2006, 03:34 AM ----------------------------------- Maybe I'm late with my suggestion :sad: , but increasing ambient in the eyes textures a little, subtle use of the snare morph and the eyebrow down morph and a light coming from the floor can make a character look really bad :lol: ----------------------------------- duttond Wednesday, 19 July 2006, 12:03 PM ----------------------------------- For the questions I ask, suggestions are never to late since my skills are always developing. Your suggestions in particular sound intriguing since this may be a way to make them look evil without posting a sign on them saying "I'm the villian" and it doesn't play on common steriotypes. I will certainly give them a try. ----------------------------------- helldorado13 Wednesday, 19 July 2006, 08:59 PM ----------------------------------- Bones which you can see under the skin. Like ribs or spine. Think Geiger's ALIEN designs. ----------------------------------- duttond Thursday, 20 July 2006, 12:14 PM ----------------------------------- I like that idea in theory but I'm not sure how I would implement it...modifying the texture map would rely on my drawing skills (not as good as I would like). I might also add the skeleton to the nude figure and then blend them...I'll work on that one when I get the chance. ----------------------------------- helldorado13 Friday, 21 July 2006, 05:20 AM ----------------------------------- Could the 'bones' be created with morph points? I'm sorry if that's a silly sounding comment, however I'm not exactly a Poser expert. :thumb: ----------------------------------- duttond Friday, 21 July 2006, 11:44 AM ----------------------------------- Probably could but at my current state of knowledge (advanced beginner) that would be as difficult as painting new textures. I haven't made a morph yet. ----------------------------------- Radkres Friday, 21 July 2006, 09:46 PM ----------------------------------- Not sure if this would help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villain Radkres ----------------------------------- Tormie Friday, 21 July 2006, 10:38 PM ----------------------------------- Hi Radkres :) !!

[url=http://www.posetteforever.com/showphoto.php?photo=3759]First Attempt What other colors would you consider "creepy"? I tried to use fangs but she refused to open her mouth - sometimes these models get absolutely willful. :roll:
