Klorel, Awesome! You fixed the eyelids so i'm not making a suggestion here, but let me explain why the eyes needed to be fixed, and why the community was going nuts about it. When Mace, or any person for that matter, tilts his head down and looks up, more of the eye is exposed. In the movie, and in pictures, Samuel does this a lot for a dramatic, fierce looking effect. However, when you have him looking straight on like that, like the models do in the game, leaving his eyes big like that would have given the impression that they are popping out of his head! Excellent fix.

 

I have a hell of a time with this too. Notice there is a slight difference in color between your face skin and head skin? That's what is causing the line across his forehead. It's not an easy fix, but getting it right will make a world of difference. (I could be wrong on this, though. If that is a ridge on the model, plese smooth it out.)

 

I also agree on moving the corners of his mouth slightly down. Right now he looks quite pleasant and blissful. With a slight adjustment to the mouth you can make him look ready to crash any party.

 

And last but not least, you're on the right track with the eye color. However, I would follow Arco's advice and change the white to a more sandy off-white. I'd also darken the iris, and give him a little more pupil. His eyes shouldn't be totally black, but they should have colors close enough that you "think" they are all black from a distance, but realize they are not up close. The reflected light in the eyes should also be no more than a pinprick of white.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the support guys. I'm thinking about redoing the eye texture, or atleast severly modifying the one i have. Also, I'm going to play with the mouth idea, but whatever I do will be very subtle, so dont look for anything resembling a frown, but trust me, he will look meaner than any ill-tempered sea-bass with fricken laser beams attached to its head. have a nice day :)

 

 

oh by the way, do you guys want the eye color to change based on team colors? does anyone have any preferences on how i should go about this. There are basically 2 possibilities:

1- i could make a red sith mace (completely origional) and a blue jedi mace

or...

2- just have the normal mace but change the cloth colors

 

3 - [just for laughs :p ] have the blue version of the mace do blue steel, and the red version do magnum. lol.

i have to say that, in my humble opinion, i have found the ultimate taunt for mace using an actual clip of SLJ's voice. i was watching sportscenter this morning, and a commercial for the ESPY awards came on, hosted by SLJ himself. it talks about how he wants to get "in character" for each of the various awards ... this particular commercial centering on the best female athlete. and i quote ...

 

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!

 

how absolutely awesome would it be to hear this bad@$$ jedi master taunting his opponent this way?

 

btw, don't take me seriously on this one. i am, without a shadow of a doubt, joking around. i just couldn't resist.

 

oh, and klorel, the head is looking *BLEEP* incredible. it's eerie how accurate it looks. keep up the great work!

thanks once again. Can anyone locate a detailed ref pic of the back of SLJ's head? since he's a celebrity, they always photograph his face. if not, maybe just the back of some other bald guys head would do, but SLJ's is preferable. i've looked, and all i could find is rogain and propecia (dont ask) adds- lol. :mace:

Well, heres some pics of the back of his head. Who would have thought that the back was almost as hard as the front.:rolleyes: anyways, tell me what you think. I'm thinking about maybe adding some highlights, but not sure where as of yet cause the light source was different in almost all my ref. pics, but i'll figure it out. or maybe i'll leave it as is, whatever looks better i guess.

The actual back view of his head is very good. However concerning the angled shot, His head is too curved. If you could decrease the curve and push the back in a litle bit, youd have it. Great work though, its really coming along!

Its not too curved, it was, then i fixed it earlier. in the screenshots its a good curvature, in all the ref pics where you can see the back of his head he's looking down. that gives the head the flattened look. so when he looks forward it would bulge out a little. So the skins good then?

If you have an email address I could email you what I mean. I edited the photo in photoshop. Or if you could tell me how to attach a file to the messageboard I can do it that way. Trust me, I don't know the model software, but I am an artist too. I hope my critcism has been percieved as constructive and not just nitpicking.

All Im saying is that from the side profile, the back of Sam Jacksons head is nearly flat, Look at the pictures. And thats important sice when you use him you only see the back of his head. But I know its harder to do a headshape for a bald head, than for a full head of hair. Leave me an e-mail, so I can send you this pic of my photoshop adjustments. I guess you can decide from there.
