MiniMage: Eh, it's not perfect, but what is? Looks like it wont be that noticable ingame. Approved.

Wow.

I am totally making something that this almost literally fits to a 't'... I wouldn't mind a different face/beard than the Archmage's (perhaps more steely gray or salt-n-pepper, like Uther's beard), but hot dang.

Thanks. : )

(for the above, can I get Permission to Edit?)
Saw your permissory-VM.

You know, I've been working on something for a while, for which this is almost literally perfect; Dismounting the Archmage & adding some nice robes & staff is a really nice touch.

In fact, I'd say in general you have a real knack for creating really 'down-to-earth' models; especially your unit models are quite excellent for fitting into Warcraft, not being too flashy or detailed.

This guy could perhaps use only 2 adjustments in my opinion... For one, I wouldn't mind seeing a different beard (a bit of steely gray or salt'n'pepper; perhaps Uther or one of the Paladins?) on him, to help differentiate him from the actual Archmage more, so they can be used together. Second... Well, as has been said the "Necromancer" anims are a little blasé for a Hero; feels like something more along the lines of Medivh or Furion would fit better. Just my two cents.

Keep on keepin' on! : )
