Gnoll.blp

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
I've always thought of gnolls as sort of a winter creep, but their fur color just doesn't fit very well with snow, so I created custom gnoll textures to use in any snow maps I use. I decided that maybe other people would want some snow gnolls as well. These snow gnolls not only have whiter fur, but the wood in their weapons is less green. Plus, they no longer have those huge ugly spots on their backs. These snow gnolls take good care of their fur.
This texture will change the Gnoll, the Gnoll Archer, the Gnoll Brute, and the Gnoll Assassin. Since the Gnoll Assassin and Gnoll Brute have tinted colors, they will look odd, and so you would do best to lessen the tinting of their colors in order for the texture to fit them better.
The Gnoll Overseer and Gnoll Warden do not use this texture, however they do not need to; the overseer texture can already fit winter, and the warden's fur is magical, so it won't change with the climate.

To me, this looks pretty much like a texture hue/saturation change. I can clearly say so just by looking at the tongue (normally red, now green) in the mouth. Either that, or you just added a new layer, changed it's type to "hue", and colored it with some greenish colors. Such skins won't be accepted in our database. I strongly suggest you start learning some decent drawing techniques (If already not knowing) and start doing some real texture swaps.

This is not a saturation change. You obviously failed to notice the fact that the fur's colors have been changed SEPERATELY. The fur has more of a blueish tint. The tongue is greenish since these things are freezin and crap.
And, you obviously failed to notice the fact that I've recreated half of the fur to remove the bigass blots of clumps all over the regular gnoll skin.

What was this hero again? I forgot

This isn't a hero...Stop playing DOTA so much, you need to learn the difference between dota and wc3..

this is just a recolor. 100% recolors won't and will never be approved here. what you did was just changed the original brown gnoll to a bluish one. take a look at the skin section, do you see a skin with 100% recolor?

I'm glad I downloaded it before it was rejected, but still it would be useful for a winter map for gnolls in the snow and other stuff.
 
If I freehanded 75% or more, then the gnolls wouldn't have the same weapons or cloth... I want them to be recognizable as exactly the same as the normal gnolls, only a different type of fur (clean fur, no mange blots, and white)
But ok, I'll see if I can get more work done on this texture this weekend. I'll draw all of the fur from scratch, but the weapons, clothing, and inside of the mouth will stay the same.
