Dang. Will have to check this out.

Also, keep in touch; I still have to respond to that Frost Revenant (remember him?) guy. xD

//EDIT

Wow, really snazzy stuff. I usually avoid what seem to be "generic Skelly heroes", but this has an element of uniqueness that I enjoyed. Thoughts:

  • The whole "void blade" concept that was present in all the attacks & spells was quite interesting. While I see "Void" stuff more as a function of 'planeswalkers' or 'demons' or 'voidwalkers' or something, I have to admit it made things interesting.
  • The second blade almost looks like a gun.
  • The detailed rib-cage and TC floating heart (ala Frost Wyrm) is a long-standing tradition among true Skelly heroes (*cough* Deadeye *cough*). Even better is the impressive 'floating heart' Dissipate; nice.
  • Of the Spell anims, one of my favorites was just "Spell"; so many people overlook the elegance & 'sense-making' of a simple mental command.
  • Solid animations all around; the samurai-esque "Walk Fast" was cool, the included-Portraits handy, and the way he wielded the void/truncheon/sword/thing was dexterous, to say the least.
  • While I loved the excellent use of little-used textures, I have to say that they were so uniform he almost sorta... Blended. I'm not sure what could be done (to his back/shoulders? loincloth?), but he could use... Something.
    The gauntlets are a good example. Excellent texture, and all in a concise location that is beautiful & functional.
    ...
    Ok, maybe not the best example. But I like the gauntlets. :p

Keep it up. And let me know if you need ideas. :p

A interesting model as I said, I think the animations are awesome and the composition itself is epic. The only problen wold be the number of polies, but its a hero, so I think will never have a horde of then on the map anyway.

I liked the void stuff on the blade, and the right hand gauglet, the type of detail I love (has a thing for assimetric armor)

5/5

The ribs, spine and pelvis soaked up a bunch of pollies, I could have made them simpler but than they wouldn't have looked this good.

btw,why Sheleton?
Is she a girl Skeleton?
That was a mistype.

your models have some of the best swinging animations i've ever seen
it would be amazing if you could release models purely made of sweeping trails like this
