THE_END: I remember this, I was in that contest also I believe. Uhm, yea let's see more shading please, it kinda seems to meld together in some places into a blur. And give it more color, right now it's very monotone, not bright colors but make the dark darker

Dentothor: No changes made, Rejected until Updated

Yarrr!

The idea and the way it wraps around the model is fantastic, however the skin lacks proper dark shadings and texture definition. Perhaps the tentacles should be shinier, the clothes dirtier with more detail, and just generally more detailed and crustier.

It's awesome but i think the face could use some more detail

Ohh lord, this is really neat! Would be awesome if he had that key of his around his neck

Any other suggestions before I re-tinker with this?

lighten up the tentacles
darken clothes
u could make some better hat for him
and the end of shirt looks a bit weird

Oh god, your judging of what skin is good and what isn't is kind of faulted...

its epic

Uh... it's a skin, so I can't "make a better hat" lol. Perhaps with an attachment, but meh. Will do the dark/lighting thing though.

Me? I didn't say it's good, I said it's not bad. But you know better than me I'm sure.
Anyway, I made this because I thought it was fun to do something crazy with the model lol. And since it's made why not share it Would be great if you offered some suggestions though.

Work on the beard. Elsewhy... Yahorrr!

No, not you... The mods.

ye right now as it is I would already give it a 3-4/5 ,because the idea is awesome, it wraps well, there is quite alot of detail and shading/highlights etc is also pretty nice.

We have much worse textures approved that got much better ratings.

But what I see that could be improved are mainly the weapon, because it looks boring to me and the face, especially the tentacles which seem a bit blurry

I love the face

Awesome choice of model to do this on.

It's COOL. with more fix and edit. maybe shading perhaps?. face tentacles are too dull/blurry, add some shading against the light.

Indeed. They should look shiny and slippery.

This could easily get 5 thumbs up if just a little more sharpness and shading were added. But even as is, this is a pretty good execution on a vrey creative idea!

I remember this skin from the old competition at wc3c. It's a very creative idea indeed.
Too bad the druid model has a very awful beard wrap.

great idea, just needs work. but i would use this as it is

I haven't downloaded it, but the idea is awesome in my opinion.

Excellent. it just needs some highlight/shadow balancing :3

I don't think I have the time to fix this for now, I don't know what the rules here are for the "Pending" status, but if you will trash this for now it's ok I'll update it in about 1~2 weeks

First off, blizzy at fault for this faulty path here: units\NightElf\DruidOfTheTalon\Druidotthetalon.blp

Secondly, this concept is brilliant, yeah the shading is not strong here but i would swirl my shirt when seeing it because i never thought you can make a Davy Jone out of DoTL,. The beard is selling this skin hard and with nice execution on the clothing, hey i can catch suction cup pants here.

Bonus point for the wrap execution, this lad was ahead of his time. Kinda bummer that you could have just make the staff the harpoon instead of a sick. What a fun skin, for someone like me making joke skins, I salute you with a tip of the hat.

A very inventive and cool idea that's been carried out. Could use a few touch ups as detailed in other reviews, but this is definitely a well drawn texture. Set to Recommended.
