Still excited about that new bears skins, especially Beorn's skin.
Team,sorry if I am boring or annoying.
Please make that bear gigantic, fat, muscular monster from book description.
Maybe similar to this fat&muscular form (I like new skin, just saying about size and build
) :
Now let's consider some suggestions about Beorn's human form look.
check the photos i posted
I have checked, and found that face look nice:
Maybe it could be used, other picture is wierd in someway:
I find it inappropriate, young face and druid look.
Let's take again look at that description from book:
"Standing near was a huge man with a thick black beard and hair, and great bare arms and legs with knotted muscles. He was clothed in a tunic of wool down to his knees, and was leaning on a large axe".As I wrote in main comment, this look is really fitting in this description:
Bare great arms and legs with knotted muscles, and there is tunic of wool, perfect picture in my opinion. My preposition is to modify already existing
Beorning model so it look like in the picture above. Maybe on that he looks like cave man, but he is discribed in that way. Of course ET will always find some balance between book/desire/personal preferences.
Earlier I also found this model interesting :
Only similarity with description from book is in colour of hair&beard and muscular shape. Clothes are totally different from it's description in book.
Again I suggest this look
Picture 1, that tunic and belt of strength is something which will make Beorn's look unique. Yes I know there won't be current six pack machoo look, but it is better in my opinion.
As main
Beorning model has cape, I suggest that Beorn's look don't integrate cape (again because of uniqueness). Then we come to the point of weapon choise. Obviously it will be some great axe. I suggest one of these models:
Must say that first model is axe form movie Hobbit: DoS, I found it really fitting. Model 4 is lego model, it looks funny, but that axe's head shape is really nice.
Maybe you noticed that there are only Single Headed battle axes in my suggestion. Find them more unique than Double Headed (That Double Headed I have always connected with Dwarven Heroes or Rhudar Champions/Heroes, simply it's my opinion).
What do you think about this?
From book:
"At any rate he is under no enchantment but his own. He lives in an
oak-wood and has a great wooden house; and as a man he keeps cattle
and horses which are nearly is marvellous as himself. They work for him
and talk to him. He does not eat them; neither does he hunt or eat wild
animals. He keeps hives and hives of great fierce bees, and lives most on
cream and honey. As a bear he ranges far and wide. I once saw him
sitting all alone on the top of the Carrock at night watching the moon
sinking towards the Misty Mountains, and I heard him growl in the tongue
of bears; The day will come when they will perish and I shall go back!
That is why I believe he once came from the mountains himself."And one nice picture of that description:
