Beta skin

[thisruoy]

This is my second official skin
supposed to be a blood elf
The black part is team colour

 

[THE_END]

Looks very good!
I like it, good start
Needs shading, highlights and such
But looks great for a start

 

[INF3RNO]

can you post the unwrap?

 

[thisruoy]

I did some of the other parts
And added some "details and shading"

 

[frostwhisper]

Looks too blurry currently...
Otherwise good.

Bit of an update
I tried to make the trim more golden instead of the yellowish colour

 

[THE_END]

It is WAAAAY too blurry
Gotta start making stuff clearly defined

Jesus christ, if you are using the dodge tool, DONT. DRAW/PAINT IT...god...that's what's cuasing it to look so blurry and undefined, draw it so it will have more detail, less "burns your eyes" and will have better definition.

Its not me
Its the WRAP

Its not me
Its the WRAP

No, that's an excuse in my eyes, I'm clearly talking of the unwrap, not when its wrapped upon the model. The unwrap is the serious matter, not the wrap itself.

One trick that will work well to help define the areas and make it looks less like one big blur. Is to take either a black brush or VERY dark shade of the color you are using and take size one brush, fairly high opacity, and just draw a thin little line of black/dark in between the two areas. Then with a tiny blur tool, size one or two, and very low exposure, between 5-10% smudge it in just a LITTLE bit. Then do the same thing on the edges of the two areas(NOT between them) except with either a white brush, or very LIGHT shade of the color. I used this technique when starting my god of death skin(which I quit because the wrap blows). See how the layers of bandage look clearly defined and separated? Dodge and burn are really not good for much other than hair. I did the purple hair and beard for him using dodge and burn. Study this picture and try the technique a few times until you get good at it, and use it if it suits you. I personally find it very useful.
