Ok, heres the face ill be useing for the oldman, i modeled him in a rush, so tell me whats wrong from this view that u see.

For Death ill probly just model his clothing and not show him at all.
Have smoke and stuff at his feet or somethin, we will see.

Lastly, how do u render wireframe, would help u guys to see thnx.

change to "wire frame on shaded" and just do a snapshot with something like Alias Scetchbook pro (free trail at Alias's site)

cut it down to 640 x 480 (to keep the mods happy user added image

)

et voila

im thinking of doin bump map for the wrinkles, my dad said i should try it that way, i had done a few wrinkles with modeling but, bump map sounds easier to do.

sounds right to me

i would also go the bump map way for the smaller wrinkles and then model the major ones.

Should turn out pretty cool, just a side question, what's Scetchbook Pro?

Sketch Book is just a bit more adv. version of microsoft paint. The way i look at it at least. Yah, ill take the map to Photoshop and see what i can get.

or use z brush if you have it, love it for doing wrinkley details user added image

you may find relying on bump maps will come across less convincing when you try and portray larger forms.... its not impossible of course but harder.

Nice work so far though.. good luck
