Wood Elf Warden
Allows team colors. I made a race of woodelves for The High Road - AoS, but
I wanted to share this skin in seperately. This icon goes with it but its probably not good enough to
post in the icons forum because its just a tinted blizzard icon. Feel free to copy it and convert it to
.blp or .tga yourself with an online .tga converter or Blp Lab v0.05.

Note to Mods and reviewers, please don't ask for more changes,,,
can't you see its killing her? I'm not sure she has another round
left in her, the girl has been through some tough times. She
remains determined but she is fatigued and weary from the hunt,
she needs rest, and a cup of hot tea before she can round up
anymore fugitives.

By Rudyard Kipling

In the cage my life began;
Well I know the worth of Man.
By the Broken Lock that freed--
Man-cub, ware the Man-cub's breed!
Scenting-dew or starlight pale,
Choose no tangled tree-cat trail.
Pack or council, hunt or den,
Cry no truce with Jackal-Men.
Feed them silence when they say:
"Come with us an easy way."
Feed them silence when they seek
Help of thine to hurt the weak.


Make no bandar's boast of skill;
Hold thy peace above the kill.
Let nor call nor song nor sign
Turn thee from thy hunting-line.
(Morning mist or twilight clear,
Serve him, Wardens of the Deer!)
Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,
Jungle-Favour go with thee!

Misha 24th Jun 2013 Moderator's Review: so.. as i said before, it looks a lill bit too bare.. i'm sure that crotch could use a totally different covering design that's not so exaggerated.. and also you would do nicely if you cover a part od her...

and.. do get rid of the knife and belt on her thigh, on the model it looks like a horrible blob

This skin seems fine, however, only one technical aspect is detrimental to the overall quality of the skin. The cape is in a lot of contrast with the rest of the skin because it lacks definition and clarity. Right now some places seem oversaturated and smudged and the part of the cape shown on the front looks really smudged, and that's the main culprit. Normally, this wouldn't be much of a problem if the cape wasn't taking up most of the model's surface, but in this case it's the first thing that comes into your view when you look at it. If you could work just a bit more on the clarity it's going to turn out as a great skin.

EDIT: Looking much better. Great job!

Probably, but I'm not going to. She's got too much self-respect to do porn. She only stars in action video games. Her parents didn't approve until she bought them a matching set of beamers. Someday she hopes to leave the biz and retire in the south of France, somewhere with a view of the ocean.

For some thoughts, I think this skin is kinda Re-colored including the Icon too. but this resources will await rejection when a Moderator deletes it.

Alright, it looks like at least some effort was put into this skin, therefore I'm going to give some suggestions:

1: Change the eye colour, it currently looks exactly like the skin colour.
2: Perhaps do more with the skin colour as well, currently it looks like one shade of colour and it lacks shading at the knees for example.
3: Overall add more colours, a wood elf surely shouldn't look like a brown blob, leaves, vines etc. would add a lot.
 
:ogre_icwydt:

Anyways, the skin needs more work.

Could you be more specific?

Looks decent but adding some designs should also be done because it is near from being recolored or litlle changes.

But nice try and +4 REP!

Thanks for the rep Hell_master! I don't usually do this, but I have to disagree with you on a major point. Though I have honest respect for you and your opinion. You are not even close to being correct. Please look at the original. She now has bare legs, the eyes and lips have been changed, the cape is from scratch, legs from scratch, added mid-riff again from scratch, added ear (which still isn't right, talk to Chrome67, its a bitch to get it right) and yes its been recolored otherwise it would be purpleish grey. All that remains of the old skin is the boots, shoulder pads, quiver and the bikini bottom. This is 70% original pixels. This skin should be approved. I know it looks less flashy, but its supposed to, its her style. I was going for a rogue, ranger type of night watcher type of look. This is intentionally not flashy or decorated. Has anyone even tried it in game? It looks better than the original there is not reason to reject it. I agree with you that a design or tattoo might be an improvement, and I would be happy to add it if I thought it wouldn't get rejected anyway. I don't want to do work for no one to see.

I hate vines and I removed the leaves on purpose, but good point, I see what you mean. I have an Idea, I think she would have a knife strapped to her thigh, and maybe a bandage wrapped around the other leg, like this...

How can I know it won't get rejected even with these chages?

Maybe you can play around with her cape?
It looks not colorful :/ although I think its good :)
Thanks!
I think maybe it could use a trim along the side edges, like the one I put along the bottom, and maybe some extra straps or something. Its not supposed to be colorful, but I agree detail is important. I also like that you made a suggestion. I like suggestions!

-General Rant, not directed at anyone-
I might just let people see the others in my map. I'm tired of all the rainbow looking spells and fashion show outfits, the theme in my next map is dirt, blood and steel. Many of the spells use physical models like axes, cages, nets and glaives. This skin fits in perfect in that world, but maybe not here in the land of my little pony and care bears. Not that there is anything wrong with rainbows or ponies. Some of my best friends are ponies.
 
Nicely modified, but needs a bit more colors, especially on the legs. Good luck. 5/5 to encourage you.

Thanks!

Can I get some imput on what color eyes a wood elf should have? I don't think they should be green. I went with slightly pink. I know it looks like the skin but if you look close its actually bright pink. Maybe organge?

Thanks for the encouragement!
I will go ahead and add the knife and bandage.
 
Also, I did noticed the legs to be quite blurry. Or is it just me but you can work on it. Rated 4/5!

I did notice that. Its funny because its not blurry in the .png or the .blp when I made it. Its not blurry in the picture here where I posted it. Also, when I enlarged the scale size to 4x to take a screen shot, its not blurry. I think it happens because its both shrunk in size and the stretched around the leg. I dub this the "shrink-wrap" problem. Some angles and animations look great other more ...eh. I think its just the nature of skins. For the best quality, enlarge all units by 2 and move the camera back. =) I don't know.

You should draw knee-lenght trousers to te legs, it should be grey or green, with textures. Good luck.

You don't like the bandage?

Legal_Ease, Since you updated your skin, I'm starting to like it... The shading is very terrific and Spectacular, But you should add more sick details about it. 5/5
 
Oh I see, I think thats how they work. So no problem with that, bro.

I have to qualify my earlier excuse. It is true that resolution is lost in a "shrink-wrap" effect, the truth is the shading was too close to skin color. I overcame this issue in the new version by using solid black with no highlight for the knife.

Wrathion, its either you used a model too for the Warden that mized with the skin or I also experience that there is a rare case that when you use skins frequently, there is a chance that it can alter MPQ to that skin and every other skin you'll give into it will bug and also a high chance it will not change properly to the said skin.

Its not a problem with the skin maybe itself but maybe on MPQ but rememmber I have not proved my idea about this problem same I experienced with yours so this is is just an idea.
