Description
More H4 playing and an attempt to refine the look of W'rath's Lieutenants (identical twins). W'rath's merry band of throat slitters (known as The Raptors) usually work in pairs, but some of his more experienced lads sometimes receive solo assignments. While they rely heavily on their impressive psionic powers, W'rath insists they become skilled in more mundane martial abilities.
Okay, onto the whats and hows. The morph is totally dial twiddling (except for the ears). The ears are from one of Rebelmommy's characters called RM Winter Dawn V4 (RDNA).
For the texture I decided to use Daio's Dark Lord (DAZ). I enhanced the look using pwSurface, adding a rim light that I like on the dark skin. I used the red eyes from the V4 Orc set by greyson5 (Rendo).
The outfit is the new Slicer by Vampir3Princess & Lesthat, with the add-on textures by Sarsa (DAZ). I turned the opacity of the hood down to zero. I'm very glad that option is possible as it makes the outfit a lot more versatile.
The hair is AprilYSH's wonderful Sylphiad Hair (DAZ) with the addition of a white texture from MaskimXul's Sylphiad: Color & Movement texture set (Rendo).
The building is actually just a roof from AntFarm's really cool BC RoofTopper Bundle (DAZ). It's a great set of several "toppers" that are perfect for super heroes, real world, and even the occasional fantasy image. I'd love to see a sequel to this set with a more gothic feel to it.
I cannot finish before giving credit to Winterhawk200 for his wonderful Batpunch weapon. It's free! Just do a search for it in the Rendo Freestuff area. Thank you, Winterhawk200!
Lighting is real basic. I added 5 distance lights. The front one is plain white set at 50% strength, with shadows turned on and set to 10% softness. There is a light yellow light coming from his back left set to 200% to help with the rim lighting. There is a light green light set to 25% strength and set at his front left. Similarly, there is a light blue light to his front right - also at 25%. There is a light shining down on his head - kinda lavender - again set to 25%.
Postwork consisted of doing overlay on a grunge texture on top of the render, erasing some of the hair strands that looked too chunky and 3D-ish, and painting in some hair wisps to soften the edges up a bit and to cover part of his neck that I didn't think should be showing.

Great job on the Drow!!! Drow are extreemly awesome, and you rarely see male Drow images. I prefer female Drow, but it is nice to see the males represented as well! Good job! Make more Drow please! (5)
