KnightOfOrder.blp

Yay, another skin from Oblivion! Idea, motivation and inspiration are from Oblivion's Knights of Order.
Knights of Order are unique daedra who serve the Daedric Prince Jyggalag. They are continuously spawned by Obelisks in the Shivering Isles by the mortal followers of Jyggalag known as Priests of Order. They are humanoid in shape, seemingly slightly taller than most humanoids, wear crystal armor and wield crystalline swords, which they seem to wield with great skill. According to Sheogorath and Haskill, the Knights, much like their Prince, do not have a single original thought in their heads, making them perfect soldiers of Order.

though you should make the texture a bit more like the reference pic model texture.
I think that this was the best I could have done... in Oblivion, Knights of Order have their armor almost like a mirror, so you can see reflections. I think that's impossible in Wc3, even with modeling (tell me if I'm wrong).
his "face" is messy, just turn it black
Yeah, I could, but then one of his arms will become black (or both arms), too. Yeah... that's right... arm wrap is hidden inside his face... another wonderful wrap Blizzard... another wonderful wrap... >_>
I'll try to fix the face, later.

You know, I like this skin a lot. Everything except for the face guard. I see what you were trying to go for, but it really looks like he has a blueish grey beard, with black highlights. Maybe try and blend the colors a little better, I not really sure though. haha. I'm the kind of person that needs to mess with a skin to see what looks good :p

Anyway, I really like the skin as a whole, and I give you a 4/5, after you fix the face guard 5/5

This is sadly the closest we can get to one of Shivering Isles' coolest beings.. But the skin is actually really cool! Obviously useful for an Oblivion map, this is superb for any fantasy map, really! 4.5/5 Highly Recommended

1. where should I extract the .zip file?
2. should I rename the file?
3. what should I do with the original model?
4, what to do next after these?
Help is very, very much appreciated... :)
