Just using blinns to separate meshes. i find it easier to work this way before adding a final texture onto the characters.
Matoc is tall for a troll; although he looks more humanoid
than most and far more muscular like that of an athlete. He has deep small
black eyes and a large nose, broken just above the ridge. A large golden
wedding ring stuck through it. Its red ruby flashed and glinted. His teeth were
large jutting above his upper lip yellowing a little. His dark brown hair was
gathered in huge braids. Wishbones from chickens were twisted into his hair
creating a skeletal path down to his armour which was little more than heavy hide
and plate metal scraps. Most notable was his weapon of choice. A two handed
claymore taken from a minor lordling when he was younger and traveled up to Tae
khra with his father.
