LOL :)) I used to have a Microwave that had a "Chaos Defrost" button. (WTF?!?) I daren't press it, just in case.

I think he means can you make the "Y" shaped slit on the head much narrower. Like the helm of a knight.

OK, I'll try that tomorrow. Keep in mind that at this point we're dealing in tenths of a millimeter, so something that looks good as a computer picture may be an indistinguishable panel line in real life.

The shape of the head looks good but the eyes could still be improved. That downwards indentation seems much too wide, if you could knock half to a third or so off the width that would look a lot better.

I spent an hour or two on photoshop trying to illustrate a vision of what could possibly work with the eyes, but was frustrated as my photoshop skills are too basic and I couldn’t work out how to draw it, so I reverted to paper and pen instead.

Can your program draw parts of circles as well as whole ones? Like the moon being circular, but when drawing a crescent moon the part we see would be made of curves of part of bigger circles which mostly isn’t seen/drawn. Hopefully the rough drawings below will communicate the idea:


The up of both eyes could both be part of a curve from the same circle (which in its entirety would extend much bigger than the head itself). There could be two other part realised circles below this then and both would meet with the slit. Size and positioning of circles could be played around with to whatever works best.

If that's unfeasible or not worth bothering with at this scale another option could be to maybe try diamond shapes (ideally rounded or squared off a little if possible) to the left and right of the top of the slit. Something like the warrior on the right here:

Here is a very quick liquify to show what I mean... Raising the cheekbones, making the eyes a bit more malevolent by angling and tapering them, thinning the center slit. Doesn't have to come to a point given teh scale, but it's quicker to liquify than trying to do an exact change :)

Ja ist gutes böse. My German translator sucks.

Noch böser (more evil)?



Inspiration source:


Here you can see the Defiler head it seems everyone is refering to  (only link because of huge picture)

Yes, I have the actual defiler head sitting on my desk at home. It's just hard to model and make castable at this size.

Perhaps as a head for the Angry Crab that will truely inspire fear and capture that unspeakable evil feel everyone is looking for, the following could be used?

I like the one on the right. :) The slits work much better than the original version. The only thing I'd say is if possible move the cheekbones up to accentuate the face. Thin, sharp edged or gaunt features tend to be more ominous. the full round face makes him appear more childish and jolly despite the eyes.
