anyway... About the Troll... How is it suppose to be again?
Good question. : )
Well for starters, most of it is written on previous PMs (which I will link
here and
here for your convenience).
And finally, the "ultimate" inspiration:
This Guy's Drawing. (
this drawing might have some elements you want to incorporate, though).
This guy is the epitome of the Trollish ideal of "ruthless brilliance". A tactical mastermind and a bloodthirsty combatant, this guy serves as the tribe's war-chieftain & Big-Man-On-Campus. Armed with a variety of jagged weapons and ceremonial armor, this guy rides a War-Raptor/Mega-Raptor/T-Rex with whom he is intimately connected.
His abilities (and the anims for them) are all on the 2nd PM. Mainly this guy should feature a few things:
- HAIR: Dreadlocks. I will provide those (from a Direfury model). Sick, thick dreadlocks
- TUSKS: Big & bold, probably with a gold ring/cap on them.
- MUSCLES: bulgy but not like a Dire Troll
- FACE: Grim, brutal, grimacing. Steal a face if you need. Just not the Headhunter or Shadow Hunter. : ) Probably the Berserker.
- ARMOR: Probably not much (in part because he's already riding an armored raptor, and in part because Trolls are barbaric, but also to save filespace )... I'm thinking one big pauldron opposite his weapon hand (maybe turning into an "armor-sleeve" down that arm? Or a shield?), and maybe a chest-strap... And that might be it. I can't imagine a tiki-mask that wouldn't cover his cool dreadlocks, so unless you get creative, don't worry about it. : ) He'll have a bone-throne behind him & raptor-armor beneath/around him, so he doesn't need much. (oh, maybe a tiny plate or two on his shins)
- WEAPON: This is the fun part. : ) I want your input; I think either the weapon shown on Picture1, or the weapon shown on the top-guy for Picture2 (see above).
- Weapon1: Is the sickest. But will it look as cool in-game? It's kinda big & curvy.
- Weapon2: Is a bit more reserved, but still super-awexome, and has the side-benefit of being relatable to the real-life Macuahuitl, which is sick.
Whichever of the two you think is best, let's get that decided. Either way, I think big black obsidian blades (like the macuahuitl above) is the way to go. Adorned with his own raptor's teeth is another good idea. : )
Hope that helps! I'm excited about this guy seeing the light of day. : ) Thanks again!
