3D animated fantasy leaderhead

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Although I'm not going to be doing fantasy leaderheads on a regular basis, I thought I'd take a break from my mod to do this one for Sword_Of_Geddon and Tjedge1's future fantasy mod. I've just done it this morning to practice some skills, eg blinking and morphing. The character is supposed to be an old D&D character I played years ago called Kamen Na'Tril.

It is only a practice piece, and I've deleted the poser file - so I can't go back and amend it in any way.

Hope you like it . I'd be honoured if anyone wanted to use it in a mod.

Here's some previews:

Really good job. You're improving with leaps and bounds.

I'm tempted to add him to MoM.

Cool, he looks like a tan Rakasta. What race is he? Maybe I'll use him for Thoth-Ath if he could pass for a Elf/Gnoll mixbreed. The background fits right for Thoth-Ath.

EDIT: Forgot to say Now that is a fantasy leaderhead!

I have absolutely no idea!!!

He looks Rakasta to me. As far as facial features go.. I think though since I would like a non-human leaaderhead for Thoth-Ath and Kinboat is making gnolls for that civ, I will use him as a halfbreed that had an elven mother and somehow was impregnated by a gnoll. yuk. Bu that catapulted him to the top of his tribal chiefs with his extended life and unusual intelligence and agility, and now he rules the lands of the Thoth-Ath. He has also allowed the refugees of Jen humans to be incorporated into his growing empire. This will be a very interesting civ in my mod. Thanks again, this is really cool.

Looks like a mix of an elf and that one cat thing from that episode of friends.

 

[Kenta'arka]

hehe, wasn't that a hyena?
Anyway nice work R8XFT, reminds me I need to play some kind of fantasy mod again some times...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

MMM. Good leaderhead R8XFT! Has that 80's Thundercats feel to it.(I love the 80's). Not sure how to use it in "Myths and Legends" however, any ideas Tjedge?

 

[tjedge1]

Myths and Legends? I'm not quite sure. I'll have to think about it.

The Half-Gnoll, as I call it now, is half gnoll and half elf. A gnoll is not related to, but has the appearance of a bipedal hyena.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

In Mystaria, Gnolls are related to Lupins, and they can crossbreed. I think its alittle bit of a stretch for a Gnoll and Elf crossbreed to come into being however,(Unless it was magically created, in that case, by whom?)

Tch!! You can't create a leaderhead these days without causing arguements !!

Thanks for all the kind comments; as I said earlier, it was only a test piece that I uploaded as I thought someone might use it. It's nice that people have given it some thought in terms of what it could be, but I'll leave that up to Tjedge1 and Sword_Of_Geddon to decide.

Of course, I know it's really a human that's part of a nasty gnoll experiment......

 

[Raw is War?]

Cool, and very different from the usual human leaderheads.

 

[tjedge1]

The human mix could work. THe Thoth-Ath gnolls have allowed humans from the conquered Jen lands to migrate and settle with them. As far as Lupin and Gnolls related? That's possible, but gnolls are a magical combination of Trolls and Gnomes. That's where they get their name. It was a failed test to combine the power of the troll and the genius of the gnome. What they got was a hairy rampaging warrior that was well organized and ruthless in combat. The failure part was that they don't like being told what to do by any race but their own. I haven't done much research on Lupins, but they might be the result of some similiar combination. Who's to say that a human can't get impregnated by a gnoll? A human can get a sheep pregnant. The birth is stillborn, but it is possible. eh! I just grossed myself out. I like the Human/Gnoll combo better, thanks for revealing that info R8XFT. There aren't any elves in Skothar where the Gnolls are going to have their civ, except Alphatia, but Alphatia would destroy any gnoll that approached. This will be interesting in the mod. Oops, getting off track.

You mind if I use his name in my mod? I don't have a name for the leader of Thoth-Ath yet, and this one looks like a good one.

Of course I don't mind!!

Thanks! At this rate the preview of leaderheads will be completly outdated by the time the beta is ready. This is one of my favorite leaderheads so far. Especially since his civ will be an arch-rival of the civ I always played against in the normal game. Alphatia!
