Hawkwing: Functions well and looks great in-game. Up close the legs seem a bit poor, but it's not a big deal. The only thing that really ticks me off is the copy and paste king symbol on the cape. Not only do I disapprove of copy and paste, but it ruins the cape. I'd much rather see this skin without it and love to have you update this. Nonetheless, I'm not going to disapprove this for that.

I'll give you Useful for now. Perhaps, if you'd changed the face and removed the symbol on the cape, I'd consider giving you recommended.

Wow. another great skin CloudWolf. i dont think theres much to critique other than maybe changing the color of the feet and shoulders.
Maybe you could do somehing w/ the face if you felt like it.

It looks really royal.
Good job5/5

Righto!

Just made a few changes Shes now wearing some leather chest armour, redid the team glow on the shoulder, changed the staff handle, and added a slight red tint to the hair

nice
the tip of that staff should look royal-ish too.

red/gold details? maybe?

Wow! Ure nice at making skins cloud

Hey, nice touch with that hip add-on

aye lol I thought the legs looked a bit too plain

imo the shoulder, chest and wirstarmor could be more detailed.
but the cape is kickass!
all in all its a good skin would give 3,5/5

now just that gold/blueish tip of staff

could be reddish with tiny bit gold

I tried it out, but the wrap for the top isnt all that good :S Any detail I put on the blue bit just ends up as a golden smudge xD So I've left it off for now sorry!

The cape looks amazing! And the whole skin, nice job man!

lol ty Means a lot coming from an expert skinner such as yourself

Good skin. I'm sure this'll get approved. 3/5

In reply to the official review

Are bevel and emboss filters not allowed?

I also said that the symbol on the back is in fact, a photoshop brush and never once claimed it as my own work The brush is free to download, and the author did not require any referencing I just wanted to make it clear there is absolutely no CnP in this skin

If these things really do matter, I guess I can always freehand the gold bits and the emblem

Nice skin 4/5

Wow, youre great dude.
The only suggest i can do is to try to do more freehand in future skins, and less filters/textures ... That way, you receive more credits than Photoshop ;D

Not sure about the bevel and embossing but the skin looks good and deserves a praise.
I gotta agree that I smell some copy and pasting of the symbol on the cloak.


PS. Why are there so many Jania skins?

Just thought ide put in that reminder again

That's amazing! Your seconds skin? Very nice and fitting colors. Good job!

bevel and emboss
Well... filters can be used to a minimum, right Hawkwing, you yourself wrote that

I for one clearly see that the cape symbol is a custom brush..... and i rly recomend chaging it to something freehand =/

man why always diablo make some cool like mortal kombat or sumthing haha and 4/5

I like it, but its something that makes it wrong.. i just dont know what
I will give it a 4/5.

Nice skin... I'm using it in my map... (I'll give credits)

keep the good work

DAMN, this looks way better then the original skin Blizzard made! Nice work!

oO Why haven't you still changed the custom brush on cape? Oo

This doesnt look that good... ------ Ok i lied, it looks fantastic!
Going to use for my map
4/5!! Keep up the good work

ok! Sorry this took so long to update Ive been busy with coursework

Changes made:

- Removed all the bevel / emboss
- Hand drawn emblem instead of a brush

Looks really nice! GJ!

How about a TC-ed cloak? \:l

I guess I could give it a go If I make the cloak team coloured, i guess I should make the armour also otherwise there might be some hardcore colour clashes xD

I think some minute TC details on the cloak are all that needs to be done in order to be aproved

like... on edges OR around crown C:

Well i think that it is aprovvable now, only hope that crown not be a brush xD

Just added that team colour glow to the crown

Hmmm... Thats Crown isnt good.
Its make look the hood horrible.
I suggest you to remove it.
And that TC in the cape doesnt look good...
I dont know how the Jaina TC works, but will be great to put it in that metallic shoulder.
However, it is a good quality skin.
See ya!

It actually has some TC on the shoulder Its just very faint and around the edges perhaps I should make it more visible?

And I know what you mean about the crown I'm just not that good with emblems :S Anyone know any good tutorials for that kind of thing?

Just remove it. Isnt necessary that she hav an emblem in her cloak. This will look good without thats.
I Think that you need to make more visible the TC in the shoulder. it can be like a contour arround thats.

ok The emblems been removed all together now Ive also made the TC glow on the shoulder a little more obvious now

When I think of a better idea, I'll have another go at making the cape

Hmm, looks kind of like a Blood Elf to me.

Thats great!
But, like Someguy says, Thats green eyes make it like a Blood Elf. Maybe only the only the iris must be green. Make the pupil more black and the make the ocular globe to be white.
You are really good in skins, CW.

Well its true the eyes make it look a bit like a Blood Elf. You should just make them blue. Also there is actually som tc on the staff as far as what i can see? And also if you give it tc on the shoulders as you have done you should also give her some tc at the plates on the legs.

Then, she will be a High elf xD

Lol Its mostly cause that Blood Elfs wear that kind of red armor always.

Green eyes + red armor = Blood Elf.
I at least doesnt recognize High Elves with that kind of red armor

Amazing Work on the mage
i love the way how she looks

overall 4.5/5

keep up the good work!
Keep me posted if u have more coming out :thumbs up:

The face isnt made by you, really CW?
If you dont did it, you can try do it by yourself. I think you can!

Well, having it look like a Blood Elf isn't a bad thing. In fact, I like it the way it currently is.

wow, very nice work

This skin is mastergrade.
