This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
My inspiration on making this skin is the Ruby Knight from Monster Rancher 2.
THIS IS NOT A RECOLOUR!!!! I already know that recoloring here is against the rules.

Like what my fellow comrades said about this skin, it's too bright and the shield doesn't fit well, so I added some flaming textures and reduced it's brightness.
Remember to comment in this skin.

Anybody know where to download the Extractor with Naga and Faceless One skins?

Lets start with the good aspects first :) I really like your idea of darkening the face, and the flames on his helmet look nice :D

However, the shield is really quite lacking. The rim is just solid red, and the flames kinda ruin the "Knight" effect. I'd suggest adding some shading to the edges, and adding some other form of detail to the shield, like an emblem perhaps? :)

Also, the team-colour on the shoulders kinda ruins the flame effect on them. It might be worth removing the TC for that area :)

Its an awesome start though, it just looks a little rough and needs some tidying! I'll leave it as pending a re-moderate it once updated :) You show potential!

It's too red I think which mainly comes from the red frame of the shield which is in a much too bright red colour. So mainly improve the shield and add maybe some details to the armor which aren't red. Maybe also try to do it, as if the sword and the metal of the shield are out of the same materials!
With some improvement, this could be very useful, for example as a red knight with legendary skills or so!

The gray trim really doesn't fit, against the red it looks very cold. I'd recommend making it a warmer color, such as gold. The armor also looks...well, not metallic. More like plastic or some other unimpressive material. Shinny=metal, dramatic shifts between highlights and shading = shinny. (You could check out my blood elf sentry skin for a point of reference, her armor is red but still looks metallic). Or you could also look at the footman skin to see what I mean. His armor goes from black to white, dramatic shifts in highlights and shading? Doesn't get any more extreme than black to white. I like the flames though, though if you're going for hot solid material going a lava direction might be cool as well.
The sword is pretty awesome, though maybe you should get it going from darker colors at the handle to brighter colors, and then white, at the tip. Would make it seem more practical, hands stay cool and the enemies get torched XD
