    I'll admit that he does look creepy but is there anyway to make him look more scary? I always pictured them as a very pale sickly looking creature... and that just reminds me one of the hermits you would see out a movie
    Im not trying to diss I love this mod and cant wait for you to finish but just wanted to voice my thoughts

    Hey I don't mind the critisim, I only did those in five minutes in PSP.

    Problem is, how do I make him look more creepy?
    I'd have to make a new model and render it.

    I'll try making the cloak blacker and the shadows on his face more emphasised...

    that sounds good
    maybe you can make their faces appear thinner? up to the point of it appearing just to be skin upon bone? and I'd say lose the eye brows unless they did have them in the book

    Is there anyway to lose the eyebrows, add more shadows to the eyes so they look more like empty sockets then just closed lids, and maybe make the nose look more... not there maybe?
    thats how I pictured them atleast
    If not I think they still look sweet, and creepy so good job

    They aren't meant to be sockets. I think this is a direct quote from the books:
    "Only smooth skin where the eyes should be"

    But I think that making the eybrows as faded as possible is a good idea>

    The skin should be totally albino,a 100% white face.

    Well, shades of grey, otherwise it won't look real. Have a look in the screenshots thread, like the myrddraal in there.

    Yes, I agree. With a completely whit face, it will look plain. Not good.
