hey peeps its my contest skin i chose Eragon from my favorite book series "The Inheritence Cycle" its the first time i used 3D hair/ears effect thing-lie so its not the best :3 anyways feedback and your opinion is apriciated as always
-----------
it was really hard to make him look like he was discribed in the books since Christopher Paolini (creator of eragon) wrote so little about his appearence all i really remember after reading all 3 books(4 but i haven't read the latest one yet :3) is that his face was kinda edgy/elfy looking and he had a tough body after traveling for such a long time n stuff :I i just gave him a simple lether jacket with shirt and pants since i cant really remember what he was wearing at the end of the book 3 :I

Eragons Physical appearance from some wiki :I
Originally, Eragon was human of average height, intense brown eyes, dark thick eyebrows and brown hair. Eragon was described sometimes as smallish or more lithe than average. Roran described Eragon as having a slight build in Eldest. He attended the Blood-Oath Celebration in Ellesméra, where he was transfigured into an Elf/Human hybrid by the dragons' magic. His face became more angular, pale, and smooth. His eyes became slanted and his ears became pointed. His speed, strength, sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste were all augmented to Elf-like sensitivity. He did retain some human qualities, including thicker cheek bones and the need to shave. Most importantly, he was completely healed of his accursed scar on his back.
After punching a soldier in a skirmish and dislocating his fingers, Eragon used magic to grow thick calluses on his knuckes, similar to the Dwarves' Asc?dgamln. This enabled him to punch hard objects with little or no consequence to his hands.
