Akane the Queen of Spells

[Deleted member 157129]

Aight so I've been reworking parts of my old, old skins (from 04/05/06).. some of them have never been submitted here, and some might lie deep in the database.. however, I'm thinking of re-uploading them and in order to justify that I feel I should fresh them up and apply some of my acquired skill through the years (not in texturing, but art in general) - I will probably also do artwork of these characters as well.

Anyway, enough talk, here's the texture and a screenshot (from WC3 Viewer) - I can't seem to recall how the conversion was supposed to be handled to .blp, but I reckon there was something about RLE compression, so someone need to tell me about that.

Any last tips or ideas before I go ahead and try my luck for submission?
I love harsh criticism, don't walk around the porridge (if that even is a saying in English), tell me what you don't like, how you think it could be better.. and of course, I love to hear what you do like as well.

Looks pretty cool. I love the clothes.

 

[Nugamentum]

I like it aswell, good job!
I would change the bordercolor of the cloak to brown, but thats my own opinion, it's not that essential.

Is the crystal on the staff Team Color? It looks awesome, only that the wood on the staff could be darker brown and the border on the cape as well.

Aye, it's team colour.

It's been uploaded already, but I might change the border of the cape and darken the wood for an update later on.

Here's the updated capture:

but make a better staff

Very nice.. but If I was you I would keep the cape Dark brown.. like the cloths.. so that way it will create a contrast with the skin, wich will make your skin looks wonderfull

Cape is a little too blurred and undetailed compared to the rest of her

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Hmm, well I'll try to "detailize" the cape then, and possibly make it brown and just make the runes team-coloured instead of the whole cape.

 

[Malcous]

Very nice skin

I think the belly looks a bit strange, that's the only thing that stood out to me, but that's just my personal taste. Very nice job +repz
