Another Aragorn Skin [WIP]

[grato]

Hey Guys.

This is my very first attempt at skinning, so please don't be harsh on me

I wanted to do some LOTR-Skin, since my clan is developing a new Helm's Deep map. This is why I wanted a wilder and rougher skin for Aragorn, since he wore only some scale and ring mail and some leather armour at the battle, which is why I refuse to use all of those shiny Aragorn-in-shiny-plate-skins.

I used (as many others before me) the Arthas-model for my new skin. Aragorn wears kinda fur boots and green linen pants, as well as a black leather harness and scale armor. But, as you might see, I've got no idea what to do with the lion. So if you want to brainstorm me some ideas, I'd be happy.

Oh, and yeah, I give credit to Hueter, since his Uther-skin gave me an idea of how to do scales

Status:
Hair Colour: Finished
Beard: Finished

Still, I am happy with all kinds of constructive critizism.

More shadings and highlights please!

More shadings and highlights please!

You mean like 'everywhere'? Or on a single part of the skin? Please be more specific.

Is there any way to remove the lion without model editing anyways?

 

[Hawk]

Dude you should remove the book

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

And rework the sword :/

aragorn does not use a runeblade

also, you should add some details such as symbols or something onto the chest, it looks very plain

but still a good skin for your first!

 

[grato]

Well, as I said, it is a WIP. My greatest worries though are with the lion

 

[grato]

Did some work again, added details on the leather armour and skinned the shoulderpats. Book removed and eyebrows changed.

Does someone know what the part of the tga represents the skin at the models neck? I'd like to rework that.

Now is better but you should still work on the skin like adding some details on the clothes
If you finished the skins and if you uploaded i think i going to use for my project

 

[grato]

More done. Skinned Bracers and Arms/Sleeves (He wears a green shirt now) and exchanged scale armour to chainmail (That still needs some work though, I guess).

Finally exchanged Lion with the symbol of the Dunedain (The Northern Rangers). It does not look great though, looking for ways to improve that.

I tried to redo the Dunedain Bracers as best as possible as well. Hands will be done next.

Also I added more detail and dirt to his pants.

 

[Hawk]

Ah what is the white thingy on his hands ?

 

[grato]

It's nothing, I deleted the skin there, so I could get started

 

[grato]

Alright. More or less final. Done hands, done cloak, reworked the chainmail, didn't rework the belt buckle. What do you think?

Btw. how to edit his sword anyways? I'd like to do that, but I don't know it's path.

 

[Hawk]

Everything is fine anyway the sword you don't have to edit on THW there is alredy sword for Aragorn

 

[grato]

Ah, very good, so I'm going to upload this to hive and see if it gets approved

Okay *cough* Now this is a little bit embarassing, but it seems I've got no idea of how to upload skins. LoL

Edit2: Forget it, got it.
