Geist

Geists are hideous crawling, gangrel creatures of the Scourge. Agile and quick despite their crawling gait, they are one of the lower-ranking forms of undead. Aside from use in combat, geists see a lot of service as manual labor. Despite their gagged, hooded faces (dominated by only one eye) and muffled, harsh cackling, geists are capable of coherent speech.

Geists have hangman's ropes around their necks. This implies that these are executed criminals (or enemies of the Scarlet Crusade, which to the Scourge amounts to the same thing...) raised in into undeath by the Scourge. There is further evidence of this within the quest "High Commander Halford Wyrmbane" where it is stated that the traitors on the list are "hanging by the arches" yet there is no sign of any men hanging, just geists within the town square.

It could'we been done much better. Especially i don't like the head and texture. 3/5 Okay!

Oh sorry, I did not see how useful and informative your post was when I first originally read it. Quite clearly this statement has paved a path for Fuzzy to go down and he will now feel enlightened by the wisdom that you have fortunately bestowed upon him.

For a first model, this isn't half bad! Congrats on it so far. What I would say, would be that I think the model may need alittle less Team Colour, as at the moment the brightness of it kind of detracts from the dark concept.

Other than that, its good ^^

Ok kids, stop fighting :D Btw, I could give it less TC and update it tommorow at school :)

Goot thinking paul :))

Edit: Decided to leave it as it is, TC doesn't look good if I reduce it on the back... I think it would look good if I completely erase it from the back, and just leave bracers TCd... give me your oppinion

Great model, but i think you should change the head color to same color as he's legs, and give the model less team color.

Team Colour can't be edited, I believe. And if it can, then wow.
Anywho, the thing you're probably trying to say is there's a little too much TC. And at least one other person already mentioned that. Way to jump on the band wagon, junior.

Team Colour can easily be edited... it's only alpha channels :p It can be made brighter or less bright too :p

I really love this model :D
But the only thing that's wrong is it's box shaped head. It should be like diamond or oval shaped like in WoW. :(

i...personally, don't see the original concept in this model, its just so, diffrent.

the original concept of the wow model can be felt, but i felt none here, the first time i see this, i don't see this as geist lol.

sorry, but this is worse than ghoul model, this is the first time ever in my life i gave a bad criticism to a model, i respect arts and concept, however bad the model is, or a drawing is, i saw some arts within it,but for this... the skin and model itself doesn't fit the original concept, even though it uses custom texture. could do much improvement.

sorry, my comment is, it look cheap. even cheaper than a ghoul or peasant model.
