Posters for Jarl

[Mylochka]

Good.  I think we're going for a certain degree of the scary...

With different hair and scars:

[Geo]

The hair's definitely an improvement. 

[Buster's Uncle]

It looks as much like Jarl as his character (but would need a much shaggier mustache for that)...

[Geo]

Btw, does that exist, somewhat asian-slanted green eyes?

[Buster's Uncle]

Higher, less-sloping, forehead, might fix a lot, I think...

[Vishniac]

How's this looking?

Scary? 

Scary because he reminds me strongly of...Stalin. The face, the eyes!
With only different hair and mustache

[JarlWolf]

Mhm... I am liking this so far.

I suggest having a higher forehead/less sloping: I in reality have a modestly tall forehead. His overall jawline and head should be al ot more jarring and stronger looking, his jawline in particular should be a bit pronounced. My mustache/Vazheli's is a lot thicker then that and fuller too, covers more of the lip. You can also make him have an unshaven appearance with his face in general, to make him more rougher.

As for his hair, it's more of like a short military style cut, and the hairline is receding, but not balding.


And yes, Vazheli (And myself) are rather intimidating men. Both he and myself have done rather brutal things, but as Vazheli is sort of like an extension of myself, he's not a man who did it all for cruelty or paranoia: He had to make hard decisions and he's not overly proud of it.

As for his relation to Stalin... personality wise he could be as ruthless, but he's nowhere near as paranoid (or cruel) then Stalin, and he has a lot more empathy and benevolence. If Vazheli was your boss, he'd be the hard liner boss that wants you to do your job and would get pretty pissed if you wasted his time, but if you do do it properly he'll be friendly with you and have a sort of grim humour and cheekiness about him. And that, and he treats people who are reliable and have proven themselves ardent workers like relative family, he's not a type of guy who's all about the rules, he doesn't care if someone is casual. What he does care about is that the person pulls his or her own weight and respects a person when they do.

Ha.  I called that.  You should PM her some photos...

[JarlWolf]

Mhm.. though I think she has the idea downpat already. Just minor tweaks is needed.

For the jawline stuff, don't mean him to have like superman style cartoon jaw, but for his jaw/chin make it a bit more pronounced perhaps, more forward and less convex/inward facing. And for his head, higher forehead and with the hair suggestions, receding hairline but not balding, more of a military cut. I'll see if I can grab more photo's of myself if needed...

[Buster's Uncle]

I owe you some back.  Soon...

[JarlWolf]

Oh yeah!

While I am not personally missing an eye, Vazheli is.

The story behind it I am still trying to figure out, but it was either a brutal hand to hand fight with a Progenitor or it was shrapnel that flew and ripped it out.

[Mylochka]

oh, yeah...forgot about the missing eye.. Well, here's another try:

[JarlWolf]

You are definitely getting there, I'd say the face is near perfect. The only thing that needs to happen now is the obvious eye+leather band, and his hair needs to be fixed. He has more of a military cut, or a buzz cut if you will, and his hair has a bit of brown in it at the top. Also don't be afraid to make it a bit more receding.

It's not as... flopped down (I lack the proper words in english to describe it) like its more upright and his hair is shorter then that.

A while back I sent my daughter an old photo of myself, and I forgot I uploaded it. Mind, she's a film artist/ photographer and this is not the original quality of the photo, she managed to enhance it quite a bit.



Mind: This photo is relatively old. I am much more aged then this photo, this was taken back at least a few decades.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hair is surprisingly difficult in Poser/Draz...

[Mylochka]

Still adjusting the jawline a little.  Trying a different hair model -- but this one is way to fluffy.  The eyepatch I found isn't broad enough either.... Still looking...
