I tried it with the black background.  Looked a little better.

It's not that its too wispy, I wanted it to look a little less not-realistic.  (if i may use a double negative here.)

There was a separate specular map of shaded gray.

I spent the rest of the night trying to fit Michael's Valiant/highlander to James.

Our poor James needs more options.
