The way I see it, you created it yourself. :p

Thanks, highly appreciated! :)

If it works and is useful, I'd love to have some fun on Claire and Brian. Although for this last one, you should give me some ideas on how it should look since it's not a Bloodclaw. You can point me to any model that has texture parts that you think would fit.
I hope I got that girl knight's name right.

Ah, darn, I still have to make an icon for Thanok. BRB.

Brian is a tough one, I was/still am perfectly fine with his current model which makes it harder to consider how he could look better.
And yes, Claire, Claire Greendale to be exact.

Nicely done!

By the way, checking for the model of Thanok in the campaign, I did not find any unit named like that and in triggers it's an Elite named Thanok.
Is it a similar case for Claire?
Shar Dundred

Claire uses the "Lieutenant" unit in Chapters Four and Six. In Chapter Nine she is named "Claire". Iirc this unit is not used for anything else but her.

OK, thanks. Hope I can do at least a similar job on this one as well.

I am sure you can.

Hey, would be nice to update the character sheets with physique, armour/clothes descriptions and add those like Claire which are missing. It's pretty time consuming to sift through the short stories for some of these details.
Shar Dundred
Shar Dundred
The missing characters are going to be added at some point, don't you worry.
Regarding the pysique, armor, clothes: Given the nature of WarCraft 3 and the lack of modelling abilities on my part, I never really spent too much time with that outside of the things I have written so far for most characters.

Don't have any plans regarding that but thank you nonetheless!

Amazing!

If you can adjust the skin accordingly (I think the shield may cause minor issues here) then the BE Lieutenant would be a nice alternative.
Claire should have like "brighter" eyes than Thanok if you can do that - bright blue maybe? Or green if that doesn't look too blood elfy. She is his underling but far from being as "dark" as he is despite being part of the Ironfist

So, bluer, lighter than they are now?

Ah, no, if I use the belf skin, I'm gonna cover the non-yellow metallic parts with black parts from scratch (Infernal Cannon texture which Gardon uses actually) as with Thanok. I don't think I can fit stuff properly without it looking too similar to what it is now.
Shar Dundred
Shar Dundred
Yes, exactly.

For Claire it may be a good idea to make the yellow parts less yellow, like maybe more silvery or darker since she is lower rank? Though that is something I could also do with a skin.

Well, that's fair. So, silver (metallic gray) because bronze would look too close to gold and would be ugly, I guess.
