THE_END: Needs a bit more shading, less repetition of that Lordareon symbol, it's a bit too much right now

The Scarlet Crusade was busy and if Garithos was still alive he would've of been a Scarlet Crusade member and he would of loved it.

This is a pretty good skin. The one thing I notice that makes it look rather awkward is the fact that the horse and the little banners are nearly the exact same color. You should probably change the horse's skin tone or give a more saturated backdrop to the banners, otherwise they'll blend together in-game.

Looks like a candy-cane king. Or a king of hearts. Not realy getting much of a scarlet crusader feeling though :/

You should remove the Lordaeron symbol from the barding, its just to much.
You should put different shades and tones of red on the armor, right now the near-uniform tone of red makes this look rather monotone.

The yellow on this skin gives a big playing cards feel to this, I'd suggest replacing it with another color to give a more scarlet crusader feel. You should add some blacks and browns in the skin somewhere.

Lord Garithos does not fit to be a member for the Scarlet Crusade. because he despises all race except humans, I suggest Uther Lightbringer and all of the Paladins that were killed by Arthas fits to be the best members for the Group when there alive.

Wrong. Lord Garithos would be a perfect member for the scarlets.
From WoWWiki:

"The Scarlet Crusade is a group of maddened zealots so dedicated to the removal of all undead that they commonly attack the living."

"Many innocent mortals have been killed through misunderstandings, or simply "just making sure". These paladins have a frightening policy: When in doubt, assume the person is undead and kill him."

Uther was a righteous man who would never hurt the innocents. He would fit with the Argent Crusade.

Great Skin tho... 5/5

Oh silly me! I forgot there were two types of crusaders, I forgot the name of the group that attacked Arthas in Northrend, thanks for correcting me and to Warlord Ajer'laroir, sorry LOL! :alol:
There are Argent Crusaders and Scarlet Crusaders. The Argent Crusaders are inNorhtrend and are attacking the Lich King, while the Scarlet ones are fighting the scourge in Lordaeron (Plaguelands).

I really like this skin. The colors just seem a little too bright. Perhaps you should make them somewhat more gray-ish, like that of the concept. The helm seems to fulfill this, so I'd suggest doing the same to the other red parts, and perhaps the yellow parts too.

yes dude Its now all coming to me, if only Lord Garithos and Uther Lightbringer were still alive, the game would be a badass trilogy, sorry if this won't budge the ongoing lore, just a suggestion. [Closed Topic Please! LMAO!]

All right, didn't see the concept you posted for this before.

You should make the robes pink like they are in the concept, and mirror the Lordearon symbol for every other placement like it is in the concept. For WC3 it's still rather detailed though, I'd suggest making your own simplified version of the L and using it throughout the skin.

Also, make each type of armor on this a unique shade of a reddish color. If you look at the horse nothing is 100% red, there are pinks, browns, dull reds, magenta-ish reds. Use red as a basis for the theme of the skin, but don't confine it to one shade is basically what I'm getting at here.

Also - the yellow stands out way to much. a good base color for gold is around halfway between yellow and orange, totally saturated and gray. (If you are using photoshop I would also highly recommend you place all the gold on the same layer).
From there use dodge and burn to make it look more shinny. A decent amount of the trim on you concept has a rather desaturated look though as well.

Overall this skin is to bright and saturated though, most scarlet crusaders look like their armor is put to use on a regular basis. With browns, faded reds, and pinks the dye job on their armor generally looks like it was done with medieval technology as well, at least most of my favorite crusaders.

How can I do it that I can use this model and the old Lord Garithos model in the same map?

I love it! And point that Garithos is Frozen Throne equivalent of a Nazi makes it even better

i don't like two things in the concept: the mirrored symbols and the pink cloth, so i changed it. I'll update this soon and ill do the other things in your review. Thanks :):ogre_hurrhurr:

This texture has inconsistent mipmaps resulting in it appearing broken in game. Mipmaps have to be produced by down sampling the full scale image with a filter algorithm.

Attached is a fixed version of this texture that was created using my Imperial BLP tool. This is JPEG content 80% quality with area average filter used for mipmap generation. I would have saved it as 75% quality like the original but the tool lacks the feature ATM.
