hmm... it looks odd to me, could you try moveing the body closer to the center of the horse and maybe a little higher up?

Ya it looks like he has no legs, and the horse needs to be more evil.

the legs are in the skin, and the Nazgul had normal horses, not evil ones

Yes, but Nazgul have black horses. At least in the films, and suprisingly I can't remember what colour they were in the books. Nazgul looks good, but the horse looks a bit too...chestnut coloured.

The horses were black.
It's looking quite nice, however right now all I see is a foot, no legs. :/

They had red eyes too, they were evil, hence why nazgul rode them.

This doesn't look like black to me, the Nazgul in the movies had darkbrwon horses, it's the lighting in the movie sometimes that makes them look like black.
And I'm confused about the eyes, I remembered something too about them having red eyes, but all pics I find on the internet have normal eyes.

Making the horses black and with red eyes would make them look more evil.
But i have admit i actually thought the horses were black too, until i saw the picture olofmoleman posted.
Perhaps the reason why people thought they were black was because they saw the horse during the night (a Nazgûl standing on a hill with a close-up look at the horses' head) though i do remember seeing a Nazgûls' horse having red eyes.
But that's in the movies.

If you want to make the Nazgûl's as they look in the movies, i supose you should continue the way you're currently working, cause compared with that image the horses doesn't really look black, though i think you should try and make the eyes contain a little red color to make them look evil.

anyway really nice looking model, looking forward to seeing it in action

You should keep the cloak of the Nazgul black though, so it matches with the Felbeast Rider. I think the horse looks fairly good now, if not all that "evil" looking.

The skin on the Nazgul on the Fellbeast was black and really dark, it was rushed because I payed more attention to the Fellbeast skin, so, if I try to make it look simmilar it'll look kinda bad.
And I'll reconsidder making the horse more blackish and maybe a bit red eyed if it looks good.

Nice looking models,would be cool and useful :) the horse would be better a little darker though.

Yeah, I did notice the Nazgul on the Felbeat is a basicly a darkened Medivh, but it had the right idea going, the black looked good.
