The new texture thread

Hellhounds are coal black, with eyes & mouths that look fiery. Those look like a Rotweiler/Doberman mix; 'cept for the portaits, which are all Rot. I'll look for a pic to link...

Okay...so they're not so black anymore; but they should at least look a bit leaner, as if bearing some form of wasting pestilence with them, being harbingers of Hell & all.

 

I am so happy about them.

 

IM"eversohumble"O a hellhound would be quite built not sleek. Secondly the Regular Pooch has stupid ears, the only onther options would be a wolf or jackal. I'll have a look at what it looks like blacker but I'm not going to change the model.

 

the model you used is the best for a hellhound. as you said the pooch had crappy ears, but i'd vote against using wolf model, because it has more of an 'agile' or 'cat' stance, you know, ready to run/dodge, which doesn't apply to a hell hound which would be rather quite the offensive muscle to muscle type, much like the big ugly attack dog

 

Whatdya think about this pic of a Nessian Hell Hound? It's a pic of a mini. It is like the pic referenced above from the online SRD.

 

Maybe a Hell Hound does not look so much like a dog?

hmm - How about this pic (of two Hyeana)?

 

interesting...
strange thing how many species this earth have. our hyenas have a thick hide with very long fur and a relatively huge abdomen and chest... but less muscled looking... saw lot's of them recently at night or dawn or at such times around some wild patches in the countryside. there's been a sharp increase in their numbers after the war.

 

Don't worry Icy Edge, that picture is fake. the "hyenas" have identical stripe patterns (something that never happens in nature) and heads far heavier than the heads of regular hyenas - in form they look most similar to spotted hyenas where as your's will be striped hyenas.

 

Here's a pic of a Hell Hound - oops, I mean a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Rhodesian Ridgeback (Ridgeback or Lion Dog or African Lion Hound)
- When the breed was imported to Rhodesia, the big game hunters of the time found them to be excellent hunters and used them to hunt lions. They were found to be the only breed of dog that could, in a pack, keep a lion at bay for the hunter...and live.

 

A friend of my mum and dad's breeds the things. She's never been burgled. :kirby:

The ridge is dark brown and runs all the way down the spine from the base of the head.

It sort of suits the idea of the hellhound I'd always had. But then I've always had the Wild Hunt in mind when thinking of hellhounds.
