Here is a picture of the concept art I was working with while making this unit.

I was having a bit of trouble around the shoulders and belt, so I let the sleeves and leg-armour slide by for now.

I am probably going to do something about the leg armour in the future though, as currently his breastplate looks out of place.

Very good model!
But a lack of Team Colors.
Could you do the shoulder colorable maybe?

And add a background on the portrait too :p

There's a problem btw his top and legs.
Arms look wired.
And ... I preferred the Bow before.

Can you take a picture of the model and circle the pieces you don't like, I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean by problem

I merely remade the sleeves from the concept art and added the leg armour which was small/missing before. o-o

There's something wrong about this.
I really would like to see Variations of this model, something like : Blood elf, undead Elf, High elf ... etc. It would be amazing. I love this model, but I would be overjoyed if it could have variants that belongs to War3 world.

Hello!

I redownloaded your model since your update and I have a problem with your portrait.

Is it normal his head is "chopped" and not seen entirely?
Because it does not look really nice ^^

Despite that, the model is really nice!
