That's much better, it looks like a continuous scar now.

You used pieces of Chris Rock's face for your first image, didn't you...

actually, I took the eyes and lips of the original (wacky bandanna dude face), pasted them over, and then copied the teeth from the bottom-left corner into the lips.

Re: Psyborg's version.

Blind the eye, I always thought those BetterHeads with the blinded eye (I only ever saw two or three) looked malevolent. Make it clouded to look something like this ...

Haj-

I actually did blind the eye once, just to see how it would look- I dunno', it didn't really seem to fit with the character. Even though obviously anyone of any age can be blinded by a sword gash across the cornea, putting it in doesn't really add to the hardiness of the character, it makes them seem older, more someone who's been through it all, but it was a long, long time ago. But anyway, here you go... I guess I'll try.

Okay...I actually tried this time. Now, I wish I hadn't. It looks like a pitiful shot at a reproduction of Psyborg's...ah, well. Looky!

Psyborg ... I think that latest looks really very cool, thanks for humoring me.

I imagine the guy as being...blacker? Is it okay to say that here?

Darker-skinned, nubian as it were.

I've been working with the original face in-game..his cheeks could use some darkening, try making them a lot closer to the rest of his skin.

As for the blinded eye, I would say not to include it. He wouldn't be a good scout if he only had one working eye.
I would also advise that you leave his cheeks as they are now. The highlights give him strong cheekbones, and make him look meaner and stronger.

My thoughts exactly.

By the way, do you (Dexter) or anyone else (anyone else) think I should perhaps add another scar down the left- his right, our left- side of his face, or is the one eye scar good enough? I really can't decide for myself... I don't want to make him too patched together, but a scar stretching from just about the ear to just about the jaw always looks cool. I suppose I could try and post it... ah well.

Go ahead and give the second scar a try. As you said, we don't want him to look like Frankenstein's monster, but he is a scout, and has been in plenty of fights.

Well I think we have a winner, yeah? I'll map this to a model and post it tonight. :)

Well I'm sure you'll all agree, Psyborg came out on top this time with his texture. It has been submitted to OoT and is now being use for Darnell's NPC head, as part of the Imperial Legion questline. :D A job well done! This competition produced some good results - I hope we can get results like these from future competitions. [img]http://forums.pcpowerplay.com.au/images/smiles/icon_dance.gif[/img]

Not to be a damper or anything, but it's not used on Darnell right now. I need to try redownloading OoT because all new heads were missing.

So... now I get a free piece of scrap metal and a lack of Dexter-insults, right? Hm, well, seeing as Dex never insulted me before this, he'd sure as heck better start afterwards!

Anyway, cool, glad to hear I could be some help(?) to the project.
