Hey Mouseketeer, I don't think I've moderated a skin by you before so welcome to the section with a great addition and very useful skin turning Furion from a noble Night Elf druid into a haughty Highborne mage. Let's jump right in. The Good: First...
Hey Mouseketeer, I don't think I've moderated a skin by you before so welcome to the section with a great addition and very useful skin turning Furion from a noble Night Elf druid into a haughty Highborne mage. Let's jump right in.

The Good:
First things first we have lots of free-hand with the only bits untouched being the flesh on his arms, fingers, bottom of the head of his staff and his hood, with even parts such as his face being massively retouched whilst still resembling the titular man himself (it even looks like you changed the ear which is appreciated). In terms of the free-hand your skills are on full display: we have great clothe looks across most of the body, great work on the hair and the cape with the Highborne sigil really stands out and looks amazing!
The staff also looks great with the patterns and gold really standing out. Everything about this texture screams Highborne and has tons of neat details and is so much better than a simple re-colour. Colour choice is also on point, we have light blues, teals and purples with some good contrast to the white and gold on the staff. The silver trim has a slight pinkish/purple tinge to it which fits.
Overall really impressive skills on display here and I really like looking at this texture un-wrap.
TC is also a bonus!

Areas for Improvement:
I know the wrap is pretty bad on his horns but I'm still wondering if it could be improved a little, right now I'm not a fan of how it looks. I'm surprised you didn't free-hand the hood and just filtered it perhaps that's something to look at changing. In terms of the shading I'm in two minds; on the one hand the texture looks great and fits into Warcraft really well. On the other hand I'm wondering if some of the shading could be a little more pronounced but this is me speculating whether it would make the skin look better or worse so feel free to ignore that bit. So other than making it 100% free-hand there's not really much else to criticise or point out.

Conclusion:
A great texture and it was a joy looking over it and inspecting each of the details, the clothing looks great and I wish I could draw cloth as well as you have here. The fact it's not 100% free-hand is the only thing keeping it from HQ but I'm excited to see more from you. Approved as recommended and a great addition!

Thank you very much! About the hood, I didn't change it at all. It's actually from the skin named "Mal'Furion.blp", and only appears in the death animation.
