Archian: Decent highlights and shading. Wraps nicely on the model. Feel free to update this texture with the changes suggested in the thread, but this texture is approvable as it is in it's current state. Goob job!

 

[Deleted member 238226]

Ill work on an icon when this skin gets approved. Hope you like it and rate it well

EDIT : skin updated. hopefully it's much more better than my second attempt on skinning
was tired from school and decided to do quick retexture.

complete redesign. inspired by many variant of arthas design such as HotS, WoW and people's Fan Art.

i appologize for no high-res version, i made this skin in smaller canvas. if someone want the old version feel free to contact me

skin comparison is coming..

EDIT 2 : Old / New

that boot kiiinda looks like a blob? its not really as sharp as the rest of the skin.

also the chest bit of armor feels lill too contrasted?

face could be blended lill better, and the hair could do with a major redo

will retouch that. i love the contrasted style in the armor though. do you mean by the contrasted is it the whole armor or only the chest?

face could be blended lill better, and the hair could do with a major redo

work on it. but the hair? what do you mean by major redo? you mean by giving more shadows and highlight? i try that, but it looks weird when i tried it. i think it looks fine as it is right now. the hair wrap is really weird to deal with.

 

[Roland]

He said that you should give him some details in his hair.

 

[Misha]

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/skins-552/arthas-blp-125901/ well.. this is a good example of arthas' hair done right

 

[Deleted member 238226]

how about this?

preview

unwrap

added more details to the hair, smoother shading on the face, and lessen the contrast on the chest. i am not sure yet how to fix that blop looks on the boots. i only lessen the contrast on the bottom part of it.

 

[Fro]

nice skins, he looks realistic arthas

 

[Misha]

well it's looking good, but you kinda need to work around and try something else to that hair doesn't have that weird mirroring effect on the back, the upper-most bit of the chestplate looks like it could use another go, being lot less shiny because you gotta take into account the shadow that the head and hair would cast on it, and since war3 assumes light falls directly from above, i think you get my meaning.

boots could perhaps be made clearer if there wasn't like.. virtually the same hunk of metal on the thigh portion.. there has to be some separation, but i'm not sure if you want to change stuff there

 

[Legal_Ease]

looks great. +rep

 

[dominusrage]

Nice and neat, I like it. 5/5 +rep

 

[Trakya]

the problem is that when i import the image and put Textures\Arthas into the custom path in game it shows default Arthas model with the hammer. Any solutions?

 

[Deleted member 238226]

my mistake i think. i fix the path, you should rewrite the path into Textures\Arthas.blp

 

[Archian]

Boots could use some more shading like you did with the knee-plates. Other than that, great skin. Goob job for a second attempt

 

[Chaosy]

I really like the cape

 

[Arad MNK]

Really cool skin, but I wished it had some eyeballs at the normal model (not the portrait) as well (still great tho).

 

[jonbon29]

This is a mighty looking arthas, very cool. The boots needs some work, but the rest is great.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Nice skin, looks much better than the original Arthas. 5/5

 

[Deleted member 238226]

EDIT : skin and first post updated

 

[odemmah]

oh man face is ugly as f.

 

[Deleted member 238226]

you mean on the model or the unwrap? i have asked my friend and she said it looks good
for what reason it's ugly?

i'd like to hear some costructive critism or suggestion you have if you do.

 

[odemmah]

looks old...mouth lines are too bold which causes to look old actually...overall no way close to heroes of the storm face.

i did make it with no intention copying 100% of the concept. i just took most of the arthas concept as an inspiration without intention on 100% copying the original concept. i just use it since this skin is initially was based on the WoW arthas concept before, so to stay still like on previous concept, i took many reference on how blizzard make their arthas. this one is a mix from many arthas reference that i found on google.

that face is just random face that i made.
(i do want him to look more older a bit.)

i can't really critique my own work, so thank you for your words.
that mouth is an easy fix, i will update it soon.

EDIT : Updated?

 

[Footman16]

Really cool skin, and the purplish is definitely original compared to most other Human Arthas skins that tend to stick with silvers and blues.

In Azeroth Wars (the custom game) I can imagine this being a very accurate skin for King Arthas.

 

[Deleted member 238226]

thanks

 

[Darkfang]

This one is awesome, but it would be better if the cape didn't cover the entire shoulderpad since it looks really weird, I also feel you could wrap the scarf/cape arround the chest/breastplate a bit better, so that you leave some space for him to have soething like a neck while also keeping the essence of the cape going arround.

 

[Deleted member 238226]

thanks darkfang

the cape on the shoulder pad is following wow arthas concept. since it was the initial idea when i made the previous skin, i try to follow the same concept.
the scarf and the breastplate could be nice suggestion, but to be honest that part is way too small to visible ingame, and in the portrait the scarf is not showing much.

i consider to do the change if more people pointed it as a flaw that really need to be changed. thank you for the suggestion

 

[Mortimm]

While I personally don't like the face and would get confused at the lack of tc, I like the theming that had been chosen. in terms of colour choice and look.
