Pretty satisfied with the overall result on this one. Enjoy.

Awesome model and texture work. Great animations. Very useful as well. Works flawlessly ingame. Low filesize for this high quality work. Very well done indeed. I'm happy to approve this work of art.

The best Ghoulish Daniel on Hive. Lovely animations.
 
Incredible clarity on the skin!

It's no wonder since 3D coat is built on that very principle. Pixel painting is different in many cases from the outdated UV painting since the UV ones give those fugly seams around if you're not paying attention to mesh wrapping.
Anyway, Darkness Incarnate is very please might I say.

Oh lord, that Crusadius guy. XD I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut on that one further, there may be children about.

Anyway, lovely work on this new Gul'dan model, Tauer. :)

Wow, this is an amazing, astonishing, jaw-dropper Gul'dan!!

Just... Well, I hate to say it and I'm gonna sound like an ass, but there's one tiny thing that bugs me: his robe is purple, which causes two slight problems:
- Gul'dan was head of the Stormreaver Clan, whose colour was blue. And if you set Gul'dan's team to blue, it doesn't look so good since blue and purple doesn't match well
- This purple doesn't match most of team colours (except purple and brown I think), at least in my humble opinion!

That's it, I had to say it :D Despite this small inconvenience, I freaking love it, I'm definitly gonna use it, thanks for the neat work, man! :)

I can tell this was a work of love and labor. Brilliant model from what I can only expect to be equally as brilliant of a person behind it. 5/5

For that reason I might do a personal edit that changes Gul'dan's robe to dark green like it was in the movie for my machinima project. Hopefully Tauer doesn't mind. lol
