I haven't look on portrait while working on this since a day old skin. But it's surprisingly a happy little accident:


fuck it, keep it in.

fix the wrapping for the portrait i suggest

As much as I want to, Kobold itself cannot speak in portrait. maybe this explained the lack of kobold skins

Thats amazing! It reminds me of those creepy cat or bear toys that got alive. Two different eye colors, blood, stitched parts, Shido that is really good one for scary maps!

Here we have a texture for the Kobold which is interesting as we don't have many of those, so let's dive straight in:

The Good:
The first thing that stood out to me was the jacket, the leather/cloth texture on it is great, the folds and highlights along with the stitching make it look really good. The straps on the meat backpack also look suitably detailed but also stylistically cartoon-y which I like. The meat itself is also in your cartoon style with nice little details on the bones such as the face on the sides. The trousers and belt also have good levels of shading and texturing on them with the rips at the bottom of the trousers being a nice touch. The wooden material you've drawn for the handle of the pickaxe also looks really good and I'm a big fan of the texturing on it.

Overall the skin also fits the theme of a deranged Cat-murderer. The mis-matched eyes and bold colours definitely make it stand out thematically: uniqueness is always a credit.

Areas for Improvement:
Whilst there are lots of good areas with shading and detailing, there are also some that I find a little lacking. In particular the hands, feet and pickaxe head seem quite bland and could use some more work imo.

The blood I'm in two minds about, in some areas it looks fine; in other areas I think it again could use a bit more detail to make it look less "blotchy".

Also I do think you should redraw it so the portrait looks fitting as that will be far more visible in game than the head on the main model which will only be see from a distance. This is just my opinion however.

Conclusion:
It's definitely a Shido texture, from the theme to the style, it oozes uniqueness and fun. Some areas for improvement, but overall a good texture and therefore it is easily approved!

Crazy stuff, shame I can't see it all better without DLing and dicking around actually using it in-game or Retera.
The base portrait Bliz did was trash, but yours maps onto it surprisingly well lol.
