looking good from the back user added image

I think you could make the material 'pull' a little where the transition from the shoulder to arm occurs. Also maybe play about with sagging the material directly under the chin to give it a little more character. Other than that its looking cool

EDIT: possibly make the material tuck under the armpit more too

hey gster - this is looking very nice - I know it's a bit late in the game, but I think it might be cool to add a few folds to the hood around the neck - I was also thinking that it might be cool to make the hood a seperate piece that sits on top of the main gown covering the head and shoulders - kind of like the first image that thx posted. Last, it might be worth giving mr. death a belt just to add a bit more detail and to break up the flow of the robe.

In any case this is really coming along mate! user added image
