Nah his proportions are correct for SotN style; I made sure of that. The loss is the oversized lower arms and lower legs that LoK seems to pride itself on, and IMO that's not much of a loss, given the style change.

I have to disagree with the facial expressions though. Soul Reaver 1 had absolutely no facial movement whatsoever. They were just still faces. I know this because I have every single model ripped and sitting for reference. It wasn't until SR2 and Blood omen 2 that they had facial expressions in general. SR1 was just annoying, as they would have full dialog bits and absolutely no facial movements.

Take a peek at this vid (MAJOR SPOILERS; but it's good reference for the lack of facial expressions)-

Throughout the entire thing, they either avoid showing their faces head on, or they do distance shots. Technical limitations kept them from going too detailed in that aspect, and because of that I don't feel I'm doing any wrong to the series if I don't go out of my way to make raziels ears pointy on a 4x4px surface.

For height reference-


Either way; the whole point of the project is to take the game from one style (the original) to another style (SotN style). Things such as the huge ass lower arms and such won't be present, because frankly; I'm not making a 2d LoK style.

I tried my hand at giving Raziel an idle pose in SotN style. There's a bit more detail to him than SotN style typically allows, but meh. He's a tough cookie to make look plain.



And with a temporary Soul Reaver-


C&C please ^_^

It looks as if his heart is beating realllly hard

Instead of pumping out his chest, try making it seem as if he's moving it with his body. When he walks, his chest should be rotating toward the camera, and then away from the camera in accordance to his step. Right now it's just pulsating:P
