CW_LOTR_Elf_Warrior.BLP

A fairly simple and quick skin made to make the spellbreaker look more like a LOTR elf :) I figured this would be quite usefull for many of the LOTR maps and thought I'd make it.

I think the chest looks blurry and that the weapon looks to dark.
The dress and the headpice are my favorite parts.
However I think the shoulders or/and dress should be team coloured.

Edit: The black hair makes this skin look even darker. I think you should have blonde hair, just not the same as the old skin.

This skin has long been awaited for this model. I saw for the first time playing humans in the expansion that this model is fit for this concept.

Brilliant.

But the skin need a little more detail work and some teamcolor would be great.

Looks a little bland right now, I think it needs a little more detail work. I seem to remember the helmets being a little more detailed, but i could be wrong. anyways, looks pretty good so far but could use a few more finishing touches. I think you should push yourself and try freehanding the face to, you seem talented enough to pull it off :)

Unfortunately, the black line is unfixable :p Its to do with the model and cannot be changed by a skin edit.

Below is an image of the normal spellbreaker, and it still has the line :(

If you look better, you will see it on all models what have "half" texture(texture with only half of face or something like that) Its realy warcraft texture loading bug...

he looks a tad wall-eyed, maybe move his pupil+irises a pixel or two over. If you can alpha out the eyebrows that would probably add to his LotR feel as well and make him seem less WC3 elven.
I can see you already incorporated the ears into part of the helmet ;)
Other than that I can't think of anything else :)

For those saying that it doesn't look like a LOTR elf:

I have a feeling it is heavily based around that elf warrior in specific, at least the armor
and such.

And yes, they do change from bow to sword, here is a pic of the warrior with a bow:

The problem is that it would require a model edit to fix that.

And then we have this dude whose hair is infact black. And since he is a leader and all that shit, you shouldn't be surprised that the model has black hair.

Many other elves does however have blonde hair:

So yeeaaaahhhh, you can't really complain, everything he has done to the model is correct, depending on what you compare it too. :p
