Many faces of a hero: Cyrus.

Hello, everybody!

A few months ago, I was able to recover one of the hardrives of my old PC… and with it my Poser 6 Runtime, including some of the early versions of most of the Shaman Quest characters, so I thought of share them with you.

As you can see, Cyrus had some changes with in his design.

The problem that I had with the first one is that he looks to young and too frail, like one punch could just break him in two… Besides, I don't think that the "surfer dude" look matches his personality.

Second one, I made him taller and better build up. Pretty much his final version without some tweeks. But still wasn't that convinced with the outfit and the hair color. He looks to bright and too much like a "nice guy" here, even with the earrings and the black nails.

Besides, I was every day less thrilled with the sword (which I downloaded from DAZ) and the outfit looked TOO MUCH like the one that Ultimate HawkEye (Marvel Comics) uses.

Final version, the earrings gone, black hair, and a slight armor in the suit that made him look little less friendly and more "cool"…

Despite the rather big changes from the first draft to the final version, there was several elements that I kept unchanged, like the Buster Sword as weapon and the goggles.

Well, that's it for the week! Enjoy the weekend and CYA on Monday with the next chapter, so stay tuned.
