Haradrim Slayer: opinion needed

Ok. I am creating a Haradrim Slayer model/skin (from LotR). For no particular reason. They just look plain cool.




Those were the concept pics I worked from.

And here are the two variations I came up with.

Mind you, these are WIPs. They will be skinned, and modified via MDL editing to make them look like the concept. (i.e. the Demon Hunter blades will be alphaed out, and I will insert a new model. Where I get that from is yet unknown. I may just make it in gmax).




What I need you to do:

I need your opinion in two matters.

1) Which model do you think would look best as the Haradrim Slayer? (poll)

2) What do you think I should do for the helmet, especially in the back of the neck region (from the second concept pic)?

Thanks a lot. I hope this will be another great geoset-skin to add to me future gallery!

For the second one you could add that spike stuff at the back of the helm (use planes and set to opacity) and i think the second one will gonna look better

I voted for the Demon Hunter. First his body shape looks more like the Haradrim's. Secondly, Akama's toes really throw his off. The only thing I don't like about using the Demon Hunter would be the fact that when he attacks (if there were swords in his hands) then it wouldn't look like it really should.

Idk why, but the back of his helmet really reminds me of a Crypt Lord's back (not the large butt part, more like the back and top of his head). Idk if there's anything you could do with that because I am not a modeller, and I'm no good at geoset merging. The head that you have on there now fit pretty good though.

Thank you for YOUR time.

well the toes obviousl would be edited down or out, and replaced with...say the footmans boots. ill do all the detail work later, im just asking beforehand so that i dont screw it up...

thanks.

I think you should use the demon hunter but take away his weapons and use akama's left hand weapon (akama's left) in both hands. That would look the best in my opinion. And also maybe you could add, lets say maybe, hellscream's shoulderpad onto him too. I voted for DH because he has the better posture. Most people who vote akama prolly voted cause the skin looked more like it. But personally I dont think Akama has the right posture.

yes...but pheonix already made one of his faster-than-light geomerge/skins, so im stuck with dranei...

ty anyway.

I think you should give the DH akamas anims and work with that

akama looks best cool model that head

ok, i redid the head. no horns, but a better mutton-chops helmet. ill add the custom modeled helmet and new swords later. i need to get the model down, then ill start skinning.

Looks good., but i think you should take the akama( especially because of the Weapons) aboout the neck hm,...you should do something. The Horns must be removed or make them a little bit smaller and thiner and change the skin of the helm.About your remaked skin the red face and the brown skin looks a little bit strange

i didnt skin it yet, buddy.

I like the the model looks, but the little razor things on the side need to be there. And also maybe add some little spikes from the razorback pig or the giant turle model to the helmet!

oh, Sorry didn't read properly*g*.Tell when you are done, want to see it. I think it will surely be interesting.

YES! thats what i was trying to think of. the turtles shell or the razormane would work perfect...thanks a lot, ill work on it when im done skinning my NE shaman...
