[Approved]
This skin kicks major ass. Great work, Void.

Hawkwing:
The quality of this is spectacular, you didn't really capture the root effect but it still looks amazing and is definitely worthy of approval.

Just_Spectating · Sep 1, 2008

haha thats sweet 5/5.

Grog50 · Sep 1, 2008

First real skin?!? this is amazing! 4/5 because it could still be a bit more colorful

~Void~ · Sep 1, 2008

The shitty image quality of the preview kills the saturation a bit. It looks better ingame

donut3.5 · Sep 1, 2008

Blah, the only thing that skeeves me here is the symmetry on the root-beard, but that's nothing you can fix.
Very well done.

Hawkwing · Sep 1, 2008

4/5 - The team colour isn't very visible in-game, the highlights of the leaves on the shoulders could have been a bit brighter.

~Void~ · Sep 1, 2008

Hm, if it needs more team color, should I update it to make the eyes team colored instead of just green? Not exactly sure how to do that, though.

Just_Spectating · Sep 1, 2008

another thing is that it still looks like a faceless one.
just made with roots.

you could of been more creative with the head.
(like one eyeball in the middle)

~Void~ · Sep 1, 2008

I could, but I like 2 eyes. Maybe I would do that if I made a cyclops (I'm totally doing that next, come to think of it...)

Zeverens · Sep 1, 2008

Omg, Omg, OMG! 5/5

Mr.Goblin · Sep 2, 2008

dude nice skin... lol because of my wolf people will start to make Roots elemental! witch each model.. (joke)

Nicely made.. good job ^^ 8/10

~Void~ · Sep 2, 2008

I haven't even seen your wolf yet, I don't think :\

StaberFire · Sep 2, 2008

Pure win, 4/5.

The only thing I don't absolutely, positively, and a bit sexually love is the abruptness of which the roots and leaves meet.

Just seems like they could have been a little bit more blended, that's all.

Nice work overall, I love you for this.

SILLYbear · Sep 2, 2008

i will use this for a bog creature!

Misha · Sep 2, 2008

Nothing more than AWESOME

Dumblor · Sep 2, 2008

5/5. Good

Jack_Sparrow93 · Sep 2, 2008

Looks great! Like somebody said, just add some team color!

FrIkY · Sep 2, 2008

This is amazing ~Void~! Your first real skin, turns out as great as this!? This is pure win, it could be grand if this could be used for the Modeling Competition #10! (yes, I know this is a skin, not a model) It could be even better if you make mace made of wood, not metal, but it's fine

5/5 - grand job ~Void~! :thumbs_up:

Oziris · Sep 2, 2008

Ownig! 5/5

terradont · Sep 2, 2008

Nice! I would give you a 5/5 if you did something with the mace, maybe make it a twig or something?

4/5 now becuz of unfitting mace =P

~Void~ · Sep 2, 2008

I would but I can't alpha out bits of the mace. I tried wood but it looked like shit

Mr.100 · Sep 2, 2008

Awsome Void

So now your a great Skinner AND a Great Terrainer

NerdElf · Sep 3, 2008

its a good model but u should rename it,becauseelementals dont look like this, and this skin looks like a facelles one made from a tree. Its very good anyway i give u 4,999999999/5

What about covering it in roots then? too monotone?

ShrEad-ER · Sep 3, 2008

dam this is nice ^^
im sorry but i cant rate

if i just could skin :/

Vercas · Sep 3, 2008

You must work at the filesize...

HappyTauren · Sep 3, 2008

You must learn how to compress... -.-

Vercas · Sep 3, 2008

Maybe you are right... how to compress? XD

~Void~ · Sep 3, 2008

Indeed I must. I don't know how, and don't see any tutorials either. Tell me how and I will update, instead of making comments like above.

I tried and it looked ugly as fuck

HappyTauren · Sep 4, 2008

I am not talking to you void, you are NOT supposed to compress texture when uploading, but users that are going to import, should compress blp files.

M_Vegeta · Sep 4, 2008

Man Its probly took u lot time great work man!! i wish poeple could do sweet dbz skin like this ^^

~Void~ · Sep 5, 2008

Ah, I see. I'm still confused... what do you mean by compression? Like optimizing your map, or is it specific for BLPs? 0.o

HappyTauren · Sep 5, 2008

Go to options in magos, set quality preference, then open the image in magos, go to texture manager, and then export as blp, it will set texture quality to one you specified.

Vercas · Sep 5, 2008

Hmmmm. i think i will start making skins too >

Hawkwing · Sep 5, 2008

Well don't expect to be able to do something like this immediately.

Vercas · Sep 5, 2008

Of course...
My way to do skins is : print the images, then modify it with anything, then scan, take the image, save in JPG, convert to BLP and ready :razz:

My printer doesn't works :cry:

Hawkwing · Sep 5, 2008

JPG is not good. You'll need to TGA, or any other file-type with Alpha Channels.

~Void~ · Sep 6, 2008

And without distortion. Also, drawing skins on paper is perhaps not the best idea...

Hawkwing · Sep 6, 2008

Not at all. It's very hard to work with and the result doesn't look good with the Blizz-Style.

Vercas · Sep 6, 2008

But, i can't open TGA with paint or other programs excepting WAR3Viewer, please give me a TGA editor :grin:

terradont · Sep 6, 2008

you were planning to use paint to skin? lol

Photoshop is good, but not free.

~Void~ · Sep 6, 2008

Photoshop IS very good, but I think gimp will do if you have it as well. Especially seeing as the only tools you should need are transparent brushes, eraser and the sharpen filter occasionally.

Devine · Sep 7, 2008

pls make more skins. kthx.
5/5

Infrisios · Sep 10, 2008

Wow, cool!
5/5, and well-earned.

Snigel · Sep 11, 2008

Realy creative

~Void~ · Sep 11, 2008

If only I could be creative when terraining :\

Vercas · Sep 15, 2008

I am downloading gimp... can i use gimp to skin?
Thanks ~Void~ cause you asked me about gimp

You used gimp for this skin? :cute:

You can use gimp. I used photoshop, but all the tools I used can be found in gimp, so there shouldn't really be much difference

Vercas · Sep 15, 2008

GIMP is a nice tool but it's so complicated :cute:
