Re: The General How to visualise a character thread
If you are going for a 'modern' death knight, why not your standard modern soldier in a typical combat ready uniform. You could have the helmet mostly are just partially melted, either having scarred half the face to a skull (both eyes blazing, of course) and the uniform could be blackened in many spots or even spotty as parts of the material also burned away (Perhaps a skeletal elbow slipping out). Of course, the problem might be the 'standard gun' you want to avoid... that being the case, maybe a military grade flame thrower?
