Legolas Greenleaf
as portrayed by Orlando Bloom
new version posted November 5, 2004
dark haired version posted November 7
As I had said when I posted the original version of this Sim, I wasn't entirely pleased with it. I'm much happier with it now. While I still think the mesh and the skin for the body could be better (and in time, I will improve them), I'm MUCH happier with this version of the the head and skin. Not only does it look more like Orlando Bloom, but the mesh for the hair style is considerably closer to an accurate rendering of that used in the film. I also made changes to the body mesh and skin, to unify the pieces into a single mesh and refine some of the details (like the belt buckle and the laces on the boots). I could be more pleased with the overall results of the clothing, but I figure I'm better off making some improvements now and more later rather than overworking things by trying to push for "perfection" and frustrating myself.
Also, since I'm firmly of the school that believes Legolas had dark hair, not blond, and since Orlando Bloom appears to be naturally dark-haired, not blond, for a lark, I decided to try making a dark-haired version of the head skin by retaining the face but altering the hair color. Since it turned out pretty well, I decided to include it in the zip file along with the blond (it's the c9k1malgt_legolasdark.bmp file, for those who may not want to use it). A picture of it appears below.
