HeroDeathknight.blp

This is my first attemp to do a skin without the Burn and dodge tools. I did it totally with brushes and a bit use of the smudge tool. This hasnt CPN or th euse or filters. All is Freehand.
And, like Misha said, i did not used the "forbidden burn/dogde tools"
Special Thanks to Blizzard, that did the horrible skin wrapping of this model that does the task of do a good skin near impossible.


History of the Skin

Sir Azthen is one of the best knight of his kingdom. He was trained with the lighting archmages and the sacred paladins. He belongs to the Athoran Clan, the keppers of the Kingdom of Imadul (for that reason he has that tattoo in their forehead, this symbol is also present in its cloack and in the shoulder pads of his horse.)

The horse looks like a camel xD
The cloak is nice, but the colours are a bit confused. Yellow/blue/brown/black don't mix well in my opinion.

well, the blue is coz he has like a blue dragon scale.
The yellow is coz he is lighting knight. What colour is lightin?
Maybe can i did it light blue.
The brown is coz its a horse! what colour are the horses? if i do it white, the color will fit less than now! :S
Take on count that the original model is a death horse thingy with horns and really confused things.
Anyone can do a costructive critic with more ideas?
Some idea to what color scheme will look good?
Waiting...

neat, but the face and the horse head look odd and out of shape. you could rework that. his face is kinda like full of holes and weird.... The armour could use some propper shadings and highlights, as well as different tone and definition. Wouldn't hurt a few acid etched engrawings either.

Rating: 2.89/5 Lacking, but nice idea.
work on it a bit more :]

-Well, the horse head is a bit difficult coz it is my first time makin a horse.
-What holes do you mean on the face??
-The armor is a bit hard to me to make it, but i will try to get it better.

Sorry but i cant understand thats. I didnt know some of the words that you used and these doesnt figure on my english translator. :S

~rework the horse head a bit more then :3
~the shading on the face is so weird that it leads me to think there are holes on it @.@
~armor.... practice makes perfect my friend :)

~acid etched engravings? well... that's kinda a light linework on the armor that is done with acid, it looks very good, like a metal tattoo C:

I suggest you base your horse off of the Knights horse not exactly but get a good idea of what it looks like, cause your horse looks like a camel *granted I know making horses is awkward as we are not horses .. or are we?*

Edit: Oh also you could just fix the helm and title him

Sir Azthen the Camel Rider:)

Kinda messy but could be useful...

[-]

- The horse head looks bad
- The knights face does not look too good
- The horse back could be more straight


[+]

- Like the cape and the sword
- The armor looks kinda good
- Good for being made by hand only
- Like that you have added an history about the skin


My rating: 3/5
You should try to create an helmet for the knight and fix the horse a bit.
If you change that and perhaps some small detials, you'll have a 5/5.

Just a bunch of tips :) :
First, i'd make the horse dark/light grey, and i'd also remove the face plate of
the horse, and make the shields fullly metal^^

Btw, check the dates: 05-28-2009, 09:29 PM / Today, 03:53 PM (5-30)
two days. ;)

Hmm.... still the same issue with the horse head plate =/

rework that do two plates with lill chains. maybe that'll be nicer :]

well, its a bit difficult, coz the horse head has the worst wrapp of all. I tried to do a full helm on it, but the head get totally black :S I tried to fixed it, but is near impossible to do some better, the only thing that i can do is to remove it and add hair. but if i do that, would be weird the horse with all the armor in his body and no helm ;)

This is an superb skin man. The horse and the robes look GREAT. My only criticism is the sword, which looks like it could use better shading when it is wrapped.
Great skin, 5/5.
Tnks man! well, im not so good makin swords, this is my first one :S

Double-post is double-post, regardless of date. *sigh*


Anyway... what wou might do is to make that horse head plate like if it's composed of 3 smaller plates, would keep the same look, but would not look as weird as it is now.

Misha, thats bullshit, read the rules... damnit, hes allowed to double post if there are 48 hours between, you should really get a idea....

And the skin is cool, but it is hampered by the mistakes of blizzard, oh well..

And Misha, I thought you are a skinner, so you should know that most horse wraps of blizzard are completely bullshit, the death knight horse is one of the worst, so please...

This is a very nice model. Its concentrated on 1 color in places, I would fix that. Also, I found a see through triangle on the horse's butt ingame. And a pervert would lol after reading this

First, you NO need to review the model, its from Blizzard.
Second, I make the Skin not the Model. Skin! Skin, skin, skin! model = NOT
Third, maybe you would try to get better of what are you talking about before to post. You are reviewing a Blizzard's Model! XD
Skin, Piel, Peau, Haut... in wich language you want it?!! NOT A MODEL. PLEASE. :)
