the mask definetly needs definition. its a good idea to inspire it on the sword and make runes, but it needs detail as it is part of the face, thus part of the portrait, and the portrait is the most importrant thing to get right.
so, just make some more detail in there, dont make it bland black, but make it look like really dark metal, kinda kinky. the runes could stay white, but it'd be grooved if they where glowy. in case this dude uses any ice-orinentated spells (wich most corny undeads do) then it might be a good idea to make the glow icy blue. might look better with the face as well.
luck. |
