    Here I would toss in Moon Well & Ancient Protector:

    Both texture fit their color language, one is warm and bright and other is cold and dark. To be fair, Corrupt Ancients are run by satyrs and skeletons serving Burning Legion. You can see Ancient Protector have fel flowing from his nose run through the bark and the arm too. Of course you can see the eye glowing the rest of its body make it scary contradict its kind-spirited protector base version. Corrupt Protector want to bash, Base Protector want to hug. :xxd:

    I run back for mountain giant again and while his stone is alright to keep it like this, he could make this colder or MG's stone turn black like Ancient Of War. Depend how he approach, it's possible to be approved if his recolour passed the usefulness.

    Personally, I don't hate recolour and CnP, I see good one take on cropping out and then adding themselves to match the wrap. I'm not a skin moderator but this has many level of differences and qualities.

    Why am I talking about this subject? Because i dig into Corrupt Night Elf bundle and see if this is possible to be approved.

    The resource submission rule explained specifically under Skin Section but the main point is this line:
    Skin recolours may be accepted if a skin's usefulness outweighs the fact that the skin is a recolor/copy-paste work. In this case, moderators will note that the texture doesn't fully adhere to the rules, but is approved due to it's usefulness/demand.

    What's this mean? It's possible you can get something like Corrupted AoW approved if recolor is significantly good. But you must be considering the color choice of the theme given and of course the efforts.

    If your skin changes indifferently to the original skin like Mountain Giant with purple leaves. It's definitely not enough to call this Corrupted MG given the whole point of Corrupt NE is corruption and the tone of the stone should be lower down.

    While I would support extension of a contest because it wasn't received enough attention, I told Archie already about promote the contest top of the page but nah. Indeed extension mean more people to rival out but I vote for support to help who already jump in have time to notice it and finish their stuff. I just do not agree this method of anyone think extension make them immediately come in at near deadline. Not only i call this practice a fully d*ck move to the one who prep the whole month, but to the ruining practice of make sure deliver product ON TIME. This is my opinion about merch contest so far.

    No matter what you are, sunlight will react everything.
    Even you are covered in vantablack, you still get reflective by sunlight.
    Bring your sunscreen next time.

    In the past, i make skin with 100-95% compression, which result the skin file being too high for a skin.
    As the result, all skin of mine will use 92%- 93% compression.
    And remember, all of my stuff will come with its icon.

    As for right now, all skins file size has been reduced by 35~ 50%. Except for the last bloom couple and the dune reaper.

    Sorry for the burnout heating-up period last week, I wasn't in my moral agency well and probably gone sick because of that event happen. As always, have a nice day and thank you for your flowers.

    Look, if the extra brownie point modifier from the Hive Hero isn't removed, I am pulling the plug by removing every resource i have made and delete my Hive Account. I wasn't joking about losing half of sanity because trust me mate, i fking cry the day moosey forced me to undervalue myself even more. Shame but what else the reasoning for me to stay.

    Hello, Master Shido. Can you planning to make the skin recolors and redesigns ? Here's the list:

    • Tree of Life to Winter Tree of Life (TreeOfLife.blp) skin (dark gray bark, without leaves, without vines)
    • Ancient of War to Ice Ancient of War (AncientOfWar1.blp) skin (ice form)
    Shido
    Shido
    While both idea are decent, i think there is already a winter related skin for both of them. (well not really for ToL because that texture is huge.)
    Removing leaves may not be possible because the model itself include it, you need something to replace it or alternatively, make a model instead.

    Skin itself can have personality. No matter you put grommash voice on Oni, the skin will still have some form of incompetent or comedic vibe.
    This is also why most recolor without some major change don't felt something special to it (exception does exist). There's risk when doing it and you will embrace the flaw of it to make one.

    skin is like camo, giving a uniform a specific camo, the capabilities of it with surrounding differs, but just recolor a camo with another color scheme may or may not work, much like how camo works irl and in mgs 3, unless we're talking about digital camo

    I must share you some fact about myself:
    I never visit the Texturing & Surfacing area. So in reality, i never use a blueprint.
    I didn't want to over complicate stuff because you should be relax when making them.
    You run into flaws of every model and you tried to figuring out what concept work and what won't work.
    I know i was told to take the blueprint but i was quite adventurous about it.
    I glad that i didn't take it, i have so much fun doing it and hopefully the horizon of imagination will keep expanding.

    Despite the undead model, The Groom is not a deceased person but rather human lost the physical form and flesh because of the torture. But he fought back the traumatic event and remain conscious at a price of being bound dried to the bone.
    Even though the skin main color is water blue, Last Bloom is not an ice skin.
    Shido
    it's worth notice i do have flaw in making skin is large file size, i will revisit all the previous skin for minor change and size reduction. Additionally rework description and reduce file size.

    I don't like parent conflict these days, you hate their own yelling but you willingly burden it because you don't want to abandon them.
    Suck but it happened and you must prove them wrong.

    If you gotta harass me in dm, do it in English. I won't play with Vietnamese, at least you can think a lot of insults word than our bloody mother tongue.

    I live tend to know what is good and what is evil. But failed to realize when good nor evil is necessary. Some might say certain wrong-doer action maybe justified but some aren't even asked nor answer it.
