    Very nice, the second has great shadows. I see Kavim (Kavel/Grim)

      Thanks :-)

      Kavim would make a great name actually. Will have to remember that. Kavim Bloodson.

    He is a true Wolf and the eyebrows are a perfect choise. I like the pic in the description very much

      Thanks - and yes his eyebrows are his trademark I also like the shot in the desc a lot - have another version I prefer but only looks good full size so didn't use it here. If curious:

      It is more centered on his bear amulet and chest and I had called the image "The Bear and the Wolf".

      Oh ... I understand your dilemma completely ... the pic on the link focuses more and it is not for someone who doesn´t knows about the nature of Wolf, but this pic is more artful and tensing. On he other hand you will show the whole beautiful character ... then the pic in the description is perfect. Then you think ...maybe both? Hmmm ... nobody wants to see the same pic in various cutouts ..but I have to say ... both pics bring various messages.
      I like both

      Thanks very much Les. Honestly I was a bit tired of the too youthful looking Fenn and that hair cut. Oh I like him but harder for me to handle it in Skyrim. Fenn in FO4 is perfect with his slightly crazy but handsome and charming look. But in Skyrim he looked too polished, too young, too refined. I tend to connect best with characters like Grim and Wolf. Still Fenn is around if needed but for now decided to focus on Wolf since he is more private and I needed a character less social and less tied into Grim's world. I am very happy with Grim being done with his stories and just enjoying his life making cameo appearances and working for the Black Wolf Company.

      Like Fenrir letting go of Fenn to live his own life I did the same with Grim. He used to be me when I started but no longer - he is his own character and the downside of that is I can no longer play him as I can only enjoy playing a character who is partly me in the game.

    He looks like a proper warrior, nice work with those portraits Jon!

      Thanks. Well you agree with Hadvar then who normally gets annoyed when I take a theif at the stones. But Wolf is primarily a warrior with some skills in stealth and some minor magic. I guess that makes him a Ranger

      I tend to play rangers with either a focus on rogue skills or warrior skills.

    Very nice portraits of this great and strong male character. You could probably find better irises, a little more realistic, but of course depends on the tastes. Nice hair replacer, thank fot the link below. Skin textures?

      Thanks Fabrizio. If you have a link for some better eyes I would love to have it seriously. I did some looking and didn't have much luck. Keep in mind, however, that his eyes are very deep on the slider so shadows easily cast over them and these presets I use often dull them a bit.

      I want amber/brown/yellow wolf eyes. Most of the eye mods I found on Nexus were more cat eye or werewolf eyes just for werewolves or required some special hoops to get them on humans. I didn't want Geralts eyes either.

      Something like this:



      Also some eyes I found had eye lashes that were too feminine. Fenn in FO4 has eyelashes like that but it works for him but tends to look back on other males (IMO of course). So these eyes are from True Eyes with less fancy eyelashes and in proper lighting (or more realistic preset) they tend to be a golden-honey/amber color and look fairly nice. Realism is seldom high my list in any game, ever. Lore friendly - yes; fits into the theme/world - yes; realistic - only by chance. I play fantasy/SF games because they are fantasy/SF not because I am looking for realism.

      But if you know of some good "wolf like" eyes for males would like to try them out.

      As for skin textures - if you mean head then then the normal map is Genox with beard scruff and the rest is SkySkins and XCE. For body its a blend of SkySkins and SOS files and I think a subsurface map from Urshi.

    The DOF is great. Which ENB is this ?

      Many thanks. The main shot was Vaermina classic and the lower shot was Jygglag Classic. The DOF in both cases was Snapdragon. I wanted to do some closeup portraits and Snap is probably one of the best for something like that.

      Ah thanks! Wolf has always been a favorite although I have never played him that much in Skyrim. But always happy when I do. Partly because I consider him a more private character - not one I share as much like I do Grim and Fenn. Plus he is more a background person - doesn't like the limelight as much.

      But Fenn is really my FO4 character and I have never been comfortable with Fenn's hair or looks in Skyrim. Too smooth, to young ... doesn't fit well in my Skyrim world. Wolf is a much better fit into Skyrim and the ancient Norse.

      Thanks! Still debating hair color which is a steel-dark gray right now versus black.

      I feel like dark gray would make him look like a rugged wise warrior, while black would add a more audacious tone. It depends on how he perceives the world.

      Aye my thoughts on the gray as well. He is a warrior who comes from Valhalla and served Fenrir while Fenrir was chained up by the Aesir.
