shiiK: Cleaning up skins that have been rejected (until updated) for more than a month - moving to rejected permanently due lack of updates since last moderation. No new review of the skin has been made. If you feel that this decission is wrong, or if you want to update the skin, please reply to this PM and I'll work it out for you. As this is a preset message, and I'm just picking up each and every skin in the category, I want to apologize beforehand if this clutters your inbox.

shiiK: Moved status to Rejected (until updated) for clean-up purposes and lack of updates the past two weeks. Nothing to worry about.

shiiK: It's getting there, but the shading is not giving your model that 3D look I'm looking for. Have a look at some of our Highly Recommended and Director's Cut skins and see how the shading has been done on those. It should help you get a general feel of what we're looking for in terms of quality here on THW.

Visual Tips

shiiK: I still think you can improve the shading a lot, try to make it generally darker as well, to make the highlights stand out. It's still a very flat skin. Play around with some really dark shadows and try to make pockets and the likes pop out. I honestly think the face needs a lot more work, as well. It's lacking definition, try to make his cheeks stand out more and make his eye holes darker to promote the forehead. The eyes need some shading as well, they are eyeballs. If this is going to reach recommended, you really need to push your limits - and I hope you do. Good luck!

shiiK: I'd like you to work some more on the shading, and I'd prefer if you make a clean preview for this, as well. It's looking awful in the list, and it's hard to make out what the skin really looks like.

Detailed Review

Extensive review:

* Shading
The shading is a bit weak compared to the average WarCraft texture, and as such make your unit stand out, in a bad way. I suggest you got for a generally darker style, and try to emphasise shadow more. The face is perhaps the most difficult to shade, because it's painted white, but it's also one of the most important parts of a skin (because of the portrait). Try to make the shape of the head stand out more. Exaggerate the shadow rather than hold back.

* Colour
Colours are taken from the concept and work well, but it's lacking contrast. I suggest you change the colour of the shoes, to a dark leather material, and add team-colour if so is possible (I didn't check).

* Concept
Your texture represents the concept well, but I'm not sure how well the concept fits into WarCraft.

* Detail
There's a decent amount of details. I dislike the veins, because they're rather fat and short. They also have very prominent shadow on both sides, which make them look odd. Try to highlight one side and shadow the other. I wish you added some kind of texture to the shoes, they look like PVC.

* Wrap
Seems to function properly. I didn't have a close look, though.

A better preview of the skin would be nice and larger image.

chilla_killa · Nov 28, 2010

Damn, this scares me to hell oO !!

supertoinkz · Nov 29, 2010

The bg of the screenshot contains the clown from the Madness series. <3

darkdeathknight · Nov 29, 2010

Not a single vote, I can't believe this.

EloTheMan · Nov 29, 2010

Somewhere in Nevada...

anyway where is the model this skin replaces? was thinking of using it as a random event in my map as soon as I can put it to use

(Event Idea: Mad clown escaped from prison, he is armed and ridiculous!)

RiotZ · Nov 29, 2010

Epic win.

Still it needs shading and highlights, so for now, 2\5.

darkdeathknight · Nov 30, 2010

Yeah I understand about the shading etc. I was just discussing everything that needed to be changed with Shiik so it will be a while until I update.

Huinipachutli · Nov 30, 2010

Why so orange? :3

darkdeathknight · Nov 30, 2010

Cos orange is a sexy colour/stands out.

RiotZ · Nov 30, 2010

Lol. Red is smexy.

PlasmaSnake · Dec 1, 2010

Doesn't look happy to me

Sorry for painting over just like that, without asking, but I felt like trying to demonstrate what I mean visually. When I said the shading needed improvement, I didn't mean the shadows that are already there needed to be darker, but that there needs to be more shadow. I also suggest you make it darker in general (everything darker, not only the shadows) and then apply more highlights afterwards, to make highlights stand out more. I've not done that in my example, I've only tried to demonstrate a bit more 3D-ish shading. Don't mind how the face looks too much, focus on how the shading is different. Also note that I didn't test my mockup on the model, so it might not be accurate. It's just an example of more shading. Especially take notice of the pockets on the dress. Look how I've applied shadow below it and highlighted the upper edges to make it pop out of the flat surface.

maybe you can alpha the claw at the down left corner?
this will remove both the teeth and the claws in his hands...

darkdeathknight · Dec 3, 2010

Yeah I agree as well, but stupidly The walk animation has the claws just reappear. It is so annoying. It would have been a perfect model to skin except for those crap. If you dont understand, have a look at the one-headed ogre. It does that as well.

FriendlyHost · Dec 4, 2010

Looks really creepy.. and blurry.. still looks sweet. 4/5

TurtleRacingCar · Dec 6, 2010

good skin here.
the body is really nice, but i dislike the face it nees more highlights.
the black lines around the lips are really strange. they make it look kinda comicish, which doesnt fit to rest of skin. the same for the teeth, you can work here with more shading and highlight, so you dont need this black lines.
i miss some more color in the face for a real clown and something more funny around the eyes like stars or just creepy black shading(like joker).
i would do the hair and eyebrowns red or in another color. it seems to be the same color as the pants which make it monotone and boring.

Okay. but I won't change the black outline, as its supposed to look "cartoonish". They wear makeup after all. I didn't change the teeth so the black outline is from Warcraft, and I already have a concept which Im basing the face off, so I don't really want to change the design, but the other points you have made I will try to do.

neji402 · Dec 7, 2010
