I want to create another Ronin, just for fun, meaning I would need to sprite another head.

I want to create a look that's somewhere between Dimitri (short brown haired guy) and Dafred, the Yellow spiky haired cool guy. His face would look like 2/3 cool and 1/3 tough. I'm not totally sure about hair colors yet, but I would prefer to do a warm color, like yellow, orange and red.

That's a basic summary. But I don't know where to start! Everything I try to make looks wrong. Could someone describe to me what the face you imagine from this description looks like? It would help a lot.

Here's My shot:

[dont save this its in png, save the one below.]

Edit: he looks like a scottish, call him Mac[insert scottish oriented name] lol.
Edit2: also, you kinda describe someone who has a layed back sort of perspective, but when he starts the action hes all serious and uh, yeah, don;t know what he'd look like though.

I love the pic! Especially the scarf is awesome. You got the personality 100% right, and the Scottish thing sounds right too.

One question: Is there a way I can make his hair longer or more spiky or something? He still looks like he has Dimitri's hair style, which is kind of short and bald-ish. I'm going to try, vut I'll have to expand the picture, which means I might have to fix offsets for the head.

EDIT: I finished, and it looks really neat! I'l figure out the offsets later. If I ever release this, you'll get credit!

Oh and also, just as an added bonus point, TLB made another Ronin character for his second prison escape mission. Um... Fiona?

Basically, I made him monster. His name is Ciaran, which is a Scottish name. (which I recently discovered means dark/shadowy) He has blue eyes, the red scarf, and orange hair, with shape similar to Gordon's, the guy with the grey hair. His limbs almost never come off and, via Lua, he only suffers a tenth of the damage a normal Ronin does. He's fun to play around with.

It was actually a bandana but im happy you like it.

Whoops, I meant to say bandana.

Could you upload it when it's done, if it isn't already?

Woop.

Maybe it's time for some Ronin Expansion, the dummy expansion has gone too far!

With TLB's permission of course.

MOAR VINTAGE WEAPONS!

Why would he need TLB's permission?
Just because he made a Ronin actor before him?
That just sounds SILLY.
SILLY I SAY.

Because TLB made Fiona possibly?
