Skaven development thread

[Goldflash]

I can 't see them at all.

For me it is too dark

 

[drzoidberg]

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?

the background rats are a bit dark. Could you add a light in the background to make them visible. I mean, it's with them that the real power lays.

I didn't notice teh council until you mentioned it and I looked hard. I agree with some others too - the nose needs to be more of a snout. Also, those hands look more like those of a burly human than a rat. Unfortunately, GW is very shy about rawing rat hands.

This is more like what the Skaven headshapes are assumed to be like.

Top: Grey Seer - Bottom: Regular Clan Rat

If I am not mistaken about your thoughts about how to present the council then this guy seems close to the foremost council member in your current version - which would be absolutely brilliant with a bit more fur, snout and frenzy thrown in

If you're talking about the preview in post #131 I can't see them at all

 

[LMR]

true. a couple of flaming torches along the back wall of the cavern or something would do the trick: allowing us to see the council, but keeping them shrouded in shadow.

agree about the hands, and could you also make the teeth bigger? all the skaven models i've seen have huge teeth (imagine the dentist bills )

Here's the image with the gamma turned up to show the council in the back... I obviously have some more tweaking to do if most of you didn't even see them.

 

[rhialto]

I think I figured why the hands look too humnan and not ratty enough. The distance between teh wrist and the knuckles needs to be a lot bigger.

 

[LMR]

love the skaven on the left. that looks much better now we can see!

 

[drzoidberg]

I'd say the council looks sinister enough. Very nice, very nice indeed.

 

[drzoidberg]

it's encouraging to see that so many have requested Skaven units in Aaglos lottery. We might actually win!!!

 

[LMR]

aaglo's gonna hate it tho, if it does win

 

[Kyriakos]

Very nice work!

 

[odintheking]

Great work, Kinboat!
BTW: all these giant rats remind me of another fantasy series I read, "Redwall". The first book over 300 pages I read... Ah, memories,

 

[tjedge1]

I read most of that series, but got tired of them after the 10th book or something. That does make a good idea. Maybe someboady could use these also to do a Redwall mod. There is still the matter of the good mice though.

cough. getting dusty in here. how are things going, kinboat?

and talking about dust

Since the idea of a skaven civ has died, and kinboat doesn't seem to be interested in the LH, I don't know if anyone has any interest in this, but i've done a quick LH that can be found in the graphics modpacks forum.
