I'm still quite pleased that the Warlock model got such a good use for Deckard.
At first I haven't given that particular model any credit due to that fugly cape, but seeing the overall results now...

Yeah, pretty good approach for its wrap.
The tooth's alpha-eable? Sweet :>)

What I can suggest is adding a fairly stronger contrast.
Shadows and highlights contrasted 'bit more to really pop that character out.

As well as adding minor material details to the cloth parts. That should give it more love.

Anywho, this is a good result as far as I see.

well this is definitely the most unique Deckard Cain :xxd:
Kudos to ya

Thanks :smile: Also the most fitting out of those I tested, given how remarkably many features the Warlock shares with the newer design of Decard.

Yea, I was also fairly surprised once I started working with it, how well it actually did as a Decard model. Sadly he loses all of the teeth due to the alpha, so have tried drawing some instead.. that does give him a rather sinister appearance from certain angles.

Yea, I've attempted to do so, but the wrap on the model is rather bad.. so I am somewhat nervous about making things stand out too much. Still, I'll consider some ideas as to what I can do, because it still feels somewhat bland. A large part of why I added the straps for the backpack.

Yea, I have a notion to add stitches. I also attempted to make the leather more leather like.. which failed and was quickly removed. Any suggestions? :grin:

Edit: Updated to fix a problem that bugged me, where a tiny part of his coat would overlap into the book.

This might be the Decardest Cain that has ever Decarded the Cain on the hive. 10/10 would Decard again. Cain.

I really love the mustache. I think it could use some more details though, maybe on the hand and robes?
