I've been working on this scene for some time now, and all it really requires are two elements : 1. Characters. A few custom characters from the Wheel of Time books, meaning a few hours in Poser. and... 2. FACES. I need a bunch, maybe ten or twelve scary faces. They can be color, greyscale, whatever, but I need to make a scary version of Machin Shin, the Black Wind that lives inside the Ways. I need evil faces... So if anyone has any scans or prints or digital drawings of evil faces that they want to see used, please let me know! I like to draw, but I really want some scary faces... I plan on multi-replicating the scar faces along a large spiral, to make it look like the Black Wind is descending on the foreground. It's not as complex as it sounds, but should be highly animatable. Feel free to post any faces you have that you don't mind me using for my own foul purposes... Thanks for stopping in, regardless...!

i could take a picture of myself... but it would probably break at least 3 TOS rules and need excessively large nudity and violence flags =)

You mean something like the head in this image. I downloaded the untextured model of it from turbosquid, do a search for head and you'll find it, its in 3ds format only.

Aye, it's not so much models that I need, as simple black-and white images. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I figured I'd at least ask.

I can see what you are getting at, although its not quite the way I would portray Machin Shin. Can't you make some poser ones and warp them in photoshop or similar?

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

Aye, well there was a game that came out awhile back, called aptly, "The Wheel of Time". It was based on the books, of course, and ran on the Unreal Engine, and at the time it was published the game had the BEST graphics, period, of any First-Person game. They portrayed Machin Shin as a massive, deep, flowing spiral of evil faces and voices, faint but definitely enormously evil. I'm going for that feel...

Have you checked here?

(cackles!) I should have known better than to ask for scary faces around here...
