Here is the latest development of "Scales". I'm calling him the Pyramid Elder. I saw some concept art of the new AVP game and was inspired. Whatcha think?
Here's a closeup of the head. I intend to use a 3/4 mask for this build. The bio is inspired by Nisya's latest Mandalorian helmet. Just loved those horns! His armor will probably 2-toned, with certain parts in weathered gold and the rest in dark bronze. He will have a half-cape that hangs off one shoulder rather than a full cape for better mobility. The scales have been reduced to just near the neck area.
The bio will be bone white, with the Pyramid clan sigil in red. I plan to put lasers in the bio, and rig this to a wireless remote control activated by a switch in the hand. The visor will be tinted black with the cheeks, nose and "teeth" covered in black mesh for ventilation. As with other Elders, his dreads will have an assortment of beads and other stuff. A unique feature will be that the dreads will have end caps. The story behind it being he had each dread ceremoniously (and painfully) cut as a rite of passage. These were then capped off.
Been going over some options with Guan-thwei and I think I've got everything covered. I am going to need some skulls that are slightly smaller than 1:1 scale to give the illusion of greater size of the Elder. Should work if I was standing beside my wife's Milla character... Not too sure about standing with other Hunters! LOL!
