Hawkwing: You need to work on the mask. I recommend you completely redo it. As for the rest of the skin, the armour is pretty messy and the shading is poor. There is hardly any highlights and that's rather strange for metal. Look at some tutorials then work on applying some highlights and, if you do it properly, the mess you've made might come out with that.

 

[M4stah]

The skin colour doesn't look very blood elf

 

[Justify]

Shading pl0x?
And her left arm shouldnt be that black on top, huh?^^
Think the start is nice, but it still need a loooooot of work :O

 

[FrIkY]

Messy, messy, messy... and not very original.

 

[Misha]

EDIT: lol negating your red outfit with teal post X3

 

[Hawkwing]

It's pretty good, in comparison to most of the resources we get at this site. However, even that isn't quite acceptable.

 

[SILLYbear]

Skin is too yellow; armor is too orange.

As Misha said, s does I. But I will tell you this:
way too blurry especialy on the weapon.
If you had just recolored the hair, too bad It doesn't matched the pattern.
lacks of the burns
the face has no curve

But the freehand is enough. Just enhance it.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The blending on the colors have a very scratchy look, making the armor look like if it was damaged. And the yellow lines are very plain.
Her skin needs major shading in overall.

 

[AIagremm]

Blood elves are known for their... bloody colors. Plus they are blond!

 

[Avex]

Not all of them, there are white, black, a bit of teal... etc. (hair-wise)

suggestion: read hawk's tutorial 8) it's epicly helpful 8)

the missmatch of colors is what bugs me the most >.>;;

well met DVO. she needs some.. softening on one side, while some sharpening on other. and also... it has almost no shading....

it needs a LOT more work =/

[Kuhneghetz]

Also, the color of her skin makes her look like if she has jaundice.

 

[Dasslokk]

Would it really hurt you guys to give him a compliment on the model?

 

[AIagremm]

Its a skin

 

[Justify]

It wouldn't make sence to praise something that's not worth it, huh?

 

[Misha]

Yet again i agree with ya completely.

skin her to have normal skin and do better job at it.

at this point.... mhm...nope 8)

[67chrome]

Hmm...almost looks like you applied a filter to make it look like you dind't just apply a hue-change to the skin, all your brush strokes are going in the same direction. You at least changed the team color areas a bit, and added swirlies on that diamond-shapped part of the skin between the legs that never shows up anyware on the model (Face Palm). Look at the blood elves from WOW or WC3, like the blood mage or dragonhawk rider for some ideas on the armor, re-colored night elf just dosen't look like a blood elf. The model your skinning has a lot of potential, but your skin just isn't bringing it out. And blood elves have green eyes.

That dark red triangle with the green boarder under the left arm (looking at the skin) is the inside of the mouth-the green boarder is the lips. You might want to change that to pink.

One way you can make things look sharper is to isolate the area of the skin you are working on, that way all your brushwork is contained and dosen't bleed into nearby areas, same thing goes for shading and adding highlights.

As for her left arm being black on top, I know I did that for some of my watcher skins as well. You need to shade the arm though so it looks more like an intense shadow on the underside of the shoulderpad. Right now it looks like a little akward.

 

[Misha]

rly good idea Chrome

 

[GAniksdal]

Lol, I didn't recolor anything, except on the lips.....so stop telling me that

 

[Leeroy]

Shading pl0x

 

[Misha]

Deadline set: Got 5 days to change it =/

and arguing will only get ya the neggrep =/

~Misha~

 

[Ale_tuskarr]

I like it I think im gonna use it ...ty

 

[Misha]

hmm...

 

[Arowanna]

I like the idea, but the shading is awful
and it's way to blurry right now.

Fix this and it would be a great skin!

No, I'm not saying this to be rude.
I'm just trying to help you to improve your skin.

 

[Sabelion]

Umm man, this is pretty blurry. I wonder if you will be able to see the fact that is a bit blurry ingame on the portrait.

So can you plz post a ingame portrait. If it doesnt look blurry then I'd say it is good enough. But if it looks blurry then you will have to give it more contrast imo.

 

[PROXY]

Ok sorry, but, this is shit...

 

[GAniksdal]

Thx for all good/bad comments everyone
I'm gonna update it soon 'n I hope it is better.

 

[matmat01]

She doesn't need just more shadows. She needs improvements. about what? about all!

 

[Elsheen]

Oh jeez, her eyes give a crazy "I'm insane" look. Can't say many nice things about the model so Ill keep quiet.

 

[Ardnived]

You should fade her eyes a bit because otherwise teh shade around them makes them look like they are popping out

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The skin actually has potential now, but I'm still concerned about her skin color.

 

[Misha]

uh what the heck?? now she has even more yellow skin and her eyes are those of a nutter *eyetwitch*

 

[Goolygot]

I like this skin and I see that you have become better at skinning.

 

[Misha]

eyes... eyes need fixin' ASAP

 

[zipeater1990]

It looks like it doesn't have any panties

 

[Misha]

It looks like it doesn't have any panties

i... agree x3

the shading is still off, look at how the original is shaded. and she certainly DOESN'T need that black eye-ring oO

~Misha~

 

[Haistrah]

Normally Blood Elfs have green light on them eyes...
And the lines of her armor are too strong :s
But it's original =)
GJ
3/5

 

[Misha]

rated "Lacking" due to improper shading and a weird eye.

~Misha~

 

[Leeroy]

The colours really need some better work as the shadigns and highlightnings do. But it's overall not really bad, I won't download it, but it's not bad.

 

[Misha]

highlights need a wee bit of white too.

and better enable some form of comunication dude. ~.~ because your profile is currently..... Bah!

a lot to fix and you still haven't reworked that shade+eye problem. it looks.. plain bad.

~Misha~

 

[GAniksdal]

~Misha~

I have been working on that shading problem...so plz tell me where its needed
How can i change this eye problem? Because, i have no Idea


Oh not many good comments on this skin, hope it changes

Thx ^^ I'll try to work some more on the shading ect..

 

[matmat01]

The yellow lines on the armor is still like a blob. You can make it thinner and darker. It is better if it is pure yellow on the middle. Did you used darken? I recommend to use it on the sides only.

 

[Misha]

The problem it that the eye looks totally unreal as far as war3 is concerned, and the shading on the face is waay dark. there is actual skin supposed to be showing under the helm. (the messed-up shade on face)

what you might do is to first fix the eye and face WITHOUT that shade. and then, while using a separate layer in form of that shade on the face, work it out so that there is shade and also the skin inder the shade.

and you also could check HIVE tutorials on how to draw armor.

====================================================

And Last! You should, Again, free up at least your PM-s for tips and critique. because it pisses me off when i can't give an advice so someone who really needs it. so fix that and the skin ASAP!

Thx Misha, I'll try to fix it up

 

[Misha]

You already have a report because a PM reply cannot be sent to you..
whatever is the reason for that i Urge you to bring back at least PM-s =.=
