BlinkBoy: Approved, the model not only works fine, but is QUITE amazing. It proves how original you can be by using game textures some own meshes and some custom animations. 5/5.

Note to the moderator who modified: leave your name and reasons next time you change rating, it makes others think that I was responsible for that change, please do the changes once more (correctly this time), reversed to 5/5.

here is my review:

1. how the hell did you made it that the model just has a file size of 68kb(!!) ????

whoa this is just awesome. The model shape looks really nice and the model itself is very very creative. Every texture was chosen very wisely (as an example: just look at these sneakers.)
The animations look really smooth and fit the theme.I like that you also added swim anims
The included portrait makes the fil size also much smaller because you just have to import 1 model instead of 2.
What I don´t like that much are these glowing eyes but that´s just my own opinion
The extra information you added is also a nice thing.

I also have a suggestion: It would be nice if you would also add a Dissipate animation.

If you consider what tools you just used and what the result is you should deserve a 6/5

Oh hell yes, now I can finally make the street sharks map I've always dreamed of.

AHMAGAWD i thought this was for your RPG, awesome great job Cal.

Wow very very impressive use of ingame textures. Its absolutely amazing.

This is pretty good and original. I like the weapon. 5/5 ^^

its amazing, perfect size, great animations and its great model nothing more to say 5/5

Nothing is as true as this statement.

Epic, purely epic.

[win]epic[/win]

Confounded! If only the win code worked. =/

Looks cool.. kinda Cartoon-ish pirate of the carribean Davy jones worker..

Best model I've ever seen. Period.

God damn, that sword ruins it. If you make another version that uses the Sea Giant's anchor or just a regular sword, that would be awesome.

Four words. Oh my fucking GOD!
This is incredible! No custom textures, awesome anims, he can even swim =D
5/5! This deserves the 6/5 it has.

Just one problem, The weapon. Change it please.

whoa nice job
remembers me on a mix of that very old cartoon..."street sharks" and those fishmen of "one piece"

but i have to agree with ~void~ ..that sword looks more like one of those thingies at the carwash D=

Dude, that sword p0wns! It fits perfectly! With that boneish styl it fits the shark style perfectly! If you ever think of adding a new weapon to it.. dont XD (the color of the blade could be a little more ivory, though, to look like it's not like brand new, as it does now right from the blacksmith XD)

He looks awsome. x) 5/5 +rep

This model baffles me... You know how usually it's quality over quantity when it comes to WC3 Models "WIN" is THE quality that everyone wants. Now really.. How the hell did you manage to put such a large quantity of WIN into such a small file size? . Care to explain how you managed that?

Ok Seriously this is a great looking model as well as it is creative with a ridiculously small file size. jeeeez... Great model! 5/5

Looking extremely good. I love the animations and use of in-game textures. The only thing that bothers me is that the eye particles moves slower than the mesh on the animation so at some points they aren't actually in front of the eyes, but that shouldn't really be visible in game, I suppose.
4/5

Dude your so origional and awsom!!! I <3 it but it wont fit in with my current map, i'll use it on my next map awsom 5/5


Click this egg ===> <=== Click this egg

Did you vote 4/5? Cus all expect one have voted for 5/5, lol.
And if you cant see that its a shark, what the heck do you see? O_O
Seriusly, what do you see? :O Since i cant imagine that it can even be something else.

It's Kisame!!! lolz

That's so awesome I just shit myself

Despite all the comments saying you should change the weapon I have to agree to disagree that you should not change it and just leave it as is. Unless you made a weaponless version where people could attach multiple weapons.

Don't worry I don't plane changing it.
I'm particualry happy how the weapon turned out and It took me a while to find proper ingame textures.

Cant you make a version where you just removed the weapon?
That would give us more possibilities. But its your chooise since its your model.

I still want to know why your model´s files size is soooooo small^^

wow real nice!5/5

Remember's me the movie Pirates of the Caribean

I'm betting on Skillz and In-game textures.

Awesome skills + In-game textures = Small file size
Thats a easy way to say it. You can also say it the complicated way but im to lazy for that one.

O_O I don't want to know what you did when you had your first ***.

66 KB for this model??!?!?! O_O How did you manage that!? D: Cause that would help me alot with my modeling. And, it looks like a pretty high poly model, especially on the waist up. So it having that file size is amazing. Great job on that and the model too! I personally like the head and fins =3 (i like sharks ). I have to say, the sword does look kinda tacky (I know you aren't changing it) but I see why it would be shark related too. The rows of teeth that'd rip your skin to peices =D The sword immitates the shark's teeth (May even BE shark teeth )

does it look like a shark when it swims? (if it swims, that'd be awesome. Camoflage!) 4.5/5 The sword/club looks odd. It's hard to tell which one it is. How flat it the weapon? I looked back and noticed the guard above the handle and only swords have them, but the shells on it make me think it's a club.

100/5

sacrid, combine your posts D:

sacridshadow, why dont you just download the model and take a look? Yes, it looks like a shark when it swims.
And its suppost to be sword made out of a bone or somthing like that.

@versaigen, I think It's linear animation that greatly reduce filesize.Because one keyframe in linear takes one line while in Bezier or Hermite it takes 3 lines.

@sacridshadow, Yes it has.But you don't see it well on that texture.But It's ingame texture so don't blame me.
And the weapon is a sawblade made out of giant sawfish bone.

Does this mean that i was almost right? =)
The only problem with the weapon is that the middle of the sword doesnt fit in with the "blades" that point straight out. The middle has much more shading and such. :S
Again, everything expect the weapon is as good as it could have been in this file size.

Why not make a version without weapon? =)
