The eyes look odd. Big baby-blue eyes in the face of a cannibal-monster?. He doesn't quite look like a monster to me. More like a man smeared in mud L but the pic is really too small to see the bodytex properly. Not sure how to make a monstrous looking monster though... but I think I'd go for something either more hulk-like or something skinny, zombie like. With glowing eyes, pointed ears and fangs :o) There are ear morphs and fang morphs available for the P4NM.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with ernyoka. Glowing eyes and pointed ears are too sterotypical and you are pulling in something from a different culture. I like the heavy foldline from nose to jowl. Can you pick that up again in the neck and upper chest? Maybe on the arms as well. A sense of flesh hanging from him, even if it isn't draped. Perhaps a magnet to stretch the earlobes down? More bags under the eyes and a bit of bloodshotness. Eye color for most Indians would be very dark brown. The teeth might be filed into points for better tearing of flesh from bone. Fangs are useful for the actual capture (pounce and hold tight), but I doubt if this evil spirit does much running down of prey. Carolly

heh Yeah I guess it IS stereotypical. On the other hand aren't "monster" a stereotypical term too? I DO agree that sharp teeth are a good thing. It was partly what I thought about when I mentioned fangs. I was thinking of wolf like teeth, not dracula/vampire fangs, but I guess I didn't manage to get that clear :o) Still the EYES have to be changed methink.

If the eyes are black with a bit of red ambience to the pupils, that would work. Monsters are anything outside of our human limitations and traditionally referred more to distorted humanoids such as those natives shading themselves with umbrella-feet or cyclops watching their sheep. There are dozens and dozens of them in a late medieval catalog of Monsters. Critters went into the bestiaries. This is part of why I'm thinking about the draping of flesh as a suitable distortion: it is more than a paint job and is the sort of thing which we'd find repellent on sight... even without knowing his dinner habits.

We also have to remember that every culture sees "monster" differently. The Japanese have an entire mythos built around a woman who transforms into a fox, and the few things we might relate to that are the pointy ears and the fangs. :) But if you're doing this right, you ignore all that and look at what the Pacific Coast Natives found frightening, not what you want to impose on it. Natives found the blue eyes of the first explorers fascinating and a little fearful, so here, those liquid blue eyes might be bang on.

Have you checked into the actual Native American representation of the spirit? Just asking. It seems too much like a sterotypical zombie, than a Native American spirit. I, of course, am just opining, since I haven't researched it.

according to one source I used for the background, was that the tamanous was unlike the native american and more like the white man.. His legs were covered with a dried tar like matter which left footprints that lasted for days. what I need to work on is to make the blood splatter look like it is splatter not a wound... and to make the legs a tad crustier looking..
