I'm here, hello. I'm not who you were looking for, but I saw Celeborn on the LotM's beta thread this week. So he's still around.

Still around... just really busy. I haven't had much time to work on the leaderhead but I'll try to get an updated preview up tomorrow.

See you are not alone

Could I suggest that you come up with a default colour from the Skaven ... since this is being discussed on the update thread ...
I can see these rat guys being incorporated next ... good luck

Wow, that looks amazing Kinboat. One tiny suggestion that the face could be a bit leaner and enlongated, looks a tad cat-like at the moment.
With all the ideas for clan buildings floating around I've got a suggest, maybe you could have the generic skaven wonder of "Temple of the Horned Rat" early on allowing size 3 in the Capital - I've always thought of Skavenblight has being a vast swarm of activity, whilst the clan strongholds are smaller and more focused.

i would like to see the nose much longer, really a snout. IMO they should really look like a giant rat, that walks on its hind legs.
we also need city names. so far we have skavenblight... *cough* ... and that's it.

Well I'll try some adjustments to the face... the nose is longer than it looks, it's just the frontal view gives a foreshortened view of it. Any other suggestions?

On the leaderhead I don't know if the problem is that the snout is too short but that it doesn't slope down directly off the top of the head - Skaven have a rat head with the eyes further apart and on the sides of the head - the current version has a human forehead and eye placement - to see some examples of what I'm referring to...

For the cities how about just using the other civ's city names and adding Undercity to them or something. Since the Skaven lair in the ruins and sewers of large cities right? I can't for the life of me remember any warhammer cities at the moment so I'll use a real world one for example: London Undercity, or maybe Undercity London, or something like that.
I'll work on the face... although I'm limited as to what I can do, since I went with a premade figure to get the benefit of expression morphs... If I went with the Skaven model I made (used for the background council) I'd need to make up my own expression morphs, a long and tedious task... but not impossible if people think the skaven model is a better fit.

As far as the expression on the leaderhead goes I think that if you used the Skaven model (rat-head) I think you could get by with less than the usual adjustments and just adjust the head/body language - don't Skaven generally look wicked all the time, whether happy or sad?

Can everyone see the council in the back allright? I'm looking at it on another computer and even with the brightness turned up it's harder to see them than it was on my own computer.
