Grove Defiler (Reforged)

Grove Defiler skin of the campaign Night Elf Malfurion Stag, for the Emerald Nightmare Map:





Nightmare druid hero skin, colour-references are from Nightmare Cenarius skin as well as the mount from WoW Legion: Grove Defiler
I attempted to do add those red bits to the antlers of the mount by using normal maps to give them a different feel, idea is also taken from the WoW mount.
The normal maps are of course optional, will improve the quality of both antlers and red vines.

Screenshot for the skin with team colouring below:

Update: Redone the texture pretty much from scratch, since it was one of my first, and had a ton of imperfections.
Mount texture also redone and uses normal maps how (optional of course).

This is so cool! Will you make more Nightmare assets? I hope you do, they look so cool and the idea of seeing custom nightmare race is exciting!

Oh it's easy, each separate resource (skin, icon, model) has a path list, use them for each texture and the icon when you import (they are different ofc), see 1 example below:

import path(s):
units\nightelf\MalFurion\nightelf_malfurion_main_diffuse.dds
