Dentothor: That file size is through the roof! D: I'd suggest you fix that.
Other than that its a good skin with some nice quality, but you need to add a lot more shading and detail to it. some parts of the skin are a bit flat. And that face. It needs some work. It doesn't fit any kind of proportion of a human-ish face (which btw is what the model is supposed to represent...) and it needs much more shading and highlights. But its a great update and a great progression. It just needs a little more work.

Gday.
I agree with Den, I am VERY close to approving this as it is of fantastic quality but there are these things I'd like changed:
-Can you please add teamcolour? I know the unit will have a glow, but some users/wc3 mappers would prefer at least some extra indication of teamcolour through the horses fabric armour.

-Can you please touch up the overall depth/shading? Its very detailed, but also flat which kinda makes the skin messy and less clear from a distance (and when viewed on the model).

Once these things are cleared, I dont think I can see a possibly reason why I shouldnt approve it

Dentothor

: The changes were made i presume. But i still really dislike that filesize. Well anyways, approved.

Kim: Asked for rerate. Changes were made and skin is of lovely detail and quality. Shame on filesize but as stated by many others, its because of the skins dimensions. Congratulations, you have created a lovely skin

Click that to see the old version.

Okay for people who cannot see properly, I'll make it clear, 512x256

On the preview there is a mane but the texture itself has the mane alphaed so it does not show up when u use the texture and other bits.

 

[Misha]

it has details.. but is a bit blurry and undefined in some areas. fix that.

and the mask, as the biggest piece, could do some engravings ?=3

~rating: 2.79 not bad

~Misha~

 

[TurtleRacingCar]

i like the idea and its not bad executed but its like misha said:

it has details.. but is a bit blurry and undefined in some areas. fix that.

if you fix that, iam sure this can become a great skin!

 

[Misha]

the mask, as the biggest piece, could do some engravings ?=3

yes, it could really do with some ?=3

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Uhm, Misha, why do you keep quoting yourself?
@ the skin: Lovely work, i used to paint warhammer figures myself, so i know

 

[TurtleRacingCar]

cause its freaking funny

 

[Malcous]

Like it 4/5

 

[Xezko]

you are good on this, but you need to work on this skin. Its good enought but, its a little blurry.

3/5

 

[darkdeathknight]

K. thanks everyone

 

[Ghost765]

cool.

 

[wereguy2]

Looks really nice, but could do with some improvements.
4/5

 

[Misha]

Uhm, Misha, why do you keep quoting yourself?

..To empahize that something more needs to be done and it may NOT be what i've suggested, artist's own choice this is.

So... well... no need to quote myself more

EDIT: His helmet looks like an axe XD

 

[wereguy2]

his helmet looks like an axe xd

rofl!

 

[darkdeathknight]

Is there anywhere i have to do especially (i'll change helmet) cos im too lazy these days.

 

[Misha]

the orange-ish stuff needs some defining. and that incudes all complete with that skull that's up.

 

[darkdeathknight]

which orange stuff? I don't get you.

 

[FrIkY]

Needs more shading and highlights. Hmm, interesting helmet.

 

[Misha]

hmm.. thoe top part of the Axe-helmet (XD) has wrong shading and highlights.... it should be reversed horisontally so the highlights are on the edge of the skin.

 

[plaid_man]

i really like the skin, but the preview of the face makes it look.... not cartoonie but plastic-ei

 

[darkdeathknight]

ok ill try and change it.

 

[Misha]

looks cool but i'd rework the helm and axe a bit axe doesn't look good right now

 

[ipwnnn00bs4life]

awsom i have not seen a garithose skin in awile 4/5

 

[darkdeathknight]

I dont know how to change it everyone says the helmet sucks. Maybe a reference? In what way does it suck? Oh and also i like the engraving stuff on the horse armor so im leaving it even if it was to be rejected forever.

 

[mnib]

dude it looks cool now but why its 400 kb?

 

[Piwlady]

It.. it... it looks awesome <3

 

[darkdeathknight]

Is 400kb a lot? Maybe its big (if its big) cos its 512x256 and not 256 so it would be double the filesize. I dont know any other reason.

 

[Whisper]

it's awesome
reminds me of Berserk
Black Knight with stone face

It should be approved ffs :/

 

[Misha]

hey, this came out for the medal.

 

[-Grendel]

very nice i'll use this

 

[darkdeathknight]

hey, this came out for the medal.

Whats that mean?

 

[CeDiL]

It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

 

[AIagremm]

Dude, why wont you make another skin similar to this one, but a Naz'gul?

 

[darkdeathknight]

I dont like nazgul, just cos the skin wouldnt work for anything, besides im going to make a vampire knight thingy using the same model..as well as the awesome thing meantioned in my sig

EDIT- and the awesome thing is done! Now to do more skins.

 

[Misha]

Whats that mean?

it means that you improved vastly from how you textured some time ago

 

[darkdeathknight]

The filesize is big cos its 512x256. Hence double the size. In terms of resolution its same as the original skin.

 

[Figueiredo00]

i really like this one, maybe i can use it.
the armor is very dark, but i like this way.

keep up the good work + rep

 

[Totle]

It looks awesome.

A couple things, though -

i) The "horns" on the helm seem out of place, color-wise. Maybe you could make them a metallic color if black isn't an option, because now they look kinda fleshy.

ii) As manly as Garithos' chin is, is there any way you could perhaps give his helmet a face covering? Even if it's like a nordic helm with a visor over the eyes, just something to block out his face. Maybe it's my own personal preference but I always found closed helms to be far more intimidating then a face.

Other than those, this skin is epic.

 

[darkdeathknight]

The horns are real horns, hence they are not grey and you wouldn't know how many people complained to me when i did i full helm. I like full helms too

 

[Totle]

Oh, ok, then the horns make sense I guess.

I don't suppose then, you could simply upload an alternate model with the full helm?

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well if you want, everyone has permission to alter only the weapon and head (meaning making it invisible) so you can add your own attatchments on it.

 

[Sorceress]

I think it's a very great skin : )

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Amazing, outstanding, Epic, Awesome, Great, Magnificent, Glorious, CAPITAL(Oblivion players)

Anyway, the model is all of the above and also very useful. 5/5 +rep

 

[Charles S. Potter]

This skin worked well thank you
