AncientOfLore.BLP

The Rock Elder is known to be one of the wisest and oldest rock golems World wide. His knowledge of the world has it's roots in the oldest of WarCraft's wars, when he was still made of rocks. His old and breakable rocks make him weak in fighting, but his mental strength and intelligence have led a lot of other golems that were summoned by his master to victory. The wizard that summoned him has learned and studied the structure of the night elf Ancient of Lore.
Give credits if used. The hair is supposed to look like me (Ganondorf ^^)

Update 1 (january, 27, 2011):

I've updated it. Added some Crystals'n'shit. Feel free to download the old version if you like it better. It's the one in the middle (Picture preview). Here's the LINK

Update 2 (january, 27, 2011):

Yet another update. I say'd that the updated texture would suck, and I was right. So, I update it again to my original vision. Gonna add some more details.

Update 3 (january, 28, 2011):

...Another update. I like it.

What moderator said monotone is a lot color in black, gray and white. But overall is nice. You need to use more color on it. Look more rock as example. Hope this help you. :D

Actually, that's not the point. the point was it didn't have enough details... It's ok now, but... whatever. I asked Debode, Dentothor, ShiiK and others about opinions... It looked great. Nothing else. No body said it looked too monotone. But whateva... I use a lot of these (...) ^^

*cough*

I didn't say it looks great. I just said it needed more details rather than more colours.

Right now, I think the beard, and all other hair, is a bit too boring. You could try to make it more dwarven looking (design-wise) and/or add some slight colouration to it. Some subtle green and blue shades of colour on the rocks would help as well.

I say'd great? OH, I did ^^
I've thought about coloring the rocks a little... to green... Maybe I will ^^

V2 looks too much like a WoW-style Death Knight to me. :csad:

I kind of liked the red-brown "hair", like dried grass or straw, though the execution could have been better - it looked too furry, not like plant matter. Also, I don't think V2's hair makes any sense. What are they supposed to be made of, grey like that?

Maybe you could make them clumpy, like a bunch of individual bushes.

I'm oblivious towards the end of this "looking too monotone." And I seriously can't even slightly see what the reason behind that statement is. To me the V2 looks absolutely superb, I mean I really love it, and I seriously suggest someone re-reviews this, and for goodness sake approve it.

No offence, Keiji, but you're no skin moderator. :/

I like this, its very nice dude. Tell me, how did you get the glows? play with the contrast or something?

Glows? Well, if you look at the old version, it;s basically totally dark and stuff, and then cnme the idea of adding glows iside those dark parts. I just selected them, made a new layer, filled thme with a blue brush, somewhere put up whites, then I went up and bluryfied them a bit, deleted some parts, blur it again, and there you go.
