Beginners skin.

[Maedas]

Hey everyone, I've just looked around and yet again found myself with an urge to skin. Anyway, lets get to the point.

As a first-time skinner, could you recommend an easy skin to work with so I don't bite of more than I can chew? I'd be really happy if someone could just give me a bump in the right direction =)

Try the archer.

Archer as in the Elf standard one?

The Blood Mage is rather popular. Symmetrical, lots of nice empty space, a little alpha on the cape, and it's awfully hard to screw up.

The revenant skins are actually quite nice too ..._{'though I seem to be the only person who's made one. D:}

Arthas seems to be kinda popular too these days, although one manboob stretches a bit.

the blood mage's chest is difficult.

It *mostly* aligns on the mesh ^^

I think the ShadowHunter has a good wrap aswell.

Try Dreadlord! Nah, just kidding, Dreadlord/Tichondrius is the hardest one. Maybe you could try with some of the villagers, or kids. That's easy.

Archer=win

Cheers for all the suggestions guys =) I'm currently a little bit behind in studying to get my driver's license, but as soon as that clears out I'm going to try it out.

p.s. ain't using no screaming color pallet as many other first timers will, although it may take a while =)

The hardest wc3 model to skin is the Makrura (aka Lobstrokk).

But for easy wrap, I would personally recommend one of these models.
Villager Man
Villager Child
Villager Woman (don't use the Elf Villager Woman though, because that version has an awful wrap on the skirt part)
Archer (the unit ones)
Medivh (best thing about this model is that it's 100% alpha-able)
