[-Grendel]

i like the air revenant

 

[Chaosy]

just some personal thoughts.
the druids beard needs some work
the middle part of the giant needs mroe lava <3

the fire hawk and the ice guy looks actully good as they are now even if you maybe could inprove it in some way

 

[Hardtime]

Maybe you should ask a modeler to make a Garrosh and use your skin, but it's cool though!

 

[ImperialShadow]

i could say the druid of flame alternate very nice.

Yeah, I figured it would look kinda strange. Nevertheless, I will upload it as a skin, and if a modeller feels like making Garrosh, he will have permission to use the skin.
And thanks, guys.

 

[Hardtime]

Hey chr2 you almost done with you models?

 

[chr2]

Hey chr2 you almost done with you models?

Skins. They are skins. And, well, I'm not really receiving as much feedback as I hoped for, so I haven't really made any sufficient updates. So no, not really.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Well, Molten Giant's lava texture looks great. I assume his body ain't finished yet?
DotF's face might need some work (or you can post a pic of his portrait to see more details).
Revenant looks interesting, but that's all I can say, as this one's wrap makes it horrible to skin.
Garrosh: hmmm, I'm not too familiar with that model and what can be changed via alpha-skinning. His belt looks interesting though.

 

[Deolrin]

They all look very nice to me. The Druid of the Talon is amazing, the cape fits very well; It looks pretty much finished to me. I'd love to see more updates on the Air Revenant and Molten Giant. The Air Revenant's mace looks a bit plain, I think it needs more ornate lines and designs. I'm not a big fan of the runes, but the colors fit nicely.

 

[chr2]

Thanks for the constructive feedback, 13lackDeath and Deolrin.
The Molten Giant has received much more positive response than anticipated.
As for the Revenant, I'll figure out a way to make the mace more interesting. The runes are supposed to represent lightning, which is why they look as they do.

I am currently held back by a couple of things (Diablo and exams), but as soon as I am finished with those, you can expect some updates!

 

[RollBoat]

Revenant is my favorite.
Nice job.Well done.All of them are beautiful.Seriously.
Awaiting to see the final work.

An update on the Firehawk:

I'm probably going to upload it very soon.

Also, I changed the arrangement of the first post.

EDIT: I almost forgot, I updated the face on the Druid of the Flame:

 

[M0rbid]

The nose and the part around it could use a bit more work. The highlight on it is kinda off. Basically for the round shape it has to be rounder not looking like a reverted pyramid. Also you could add a bit of a shadow for the part under the nose. This would cause it to look a bit more plastic and add to the 3d feeling. The transition of the front nose to the side nose is rather harsh aswell. I suggest you spend a bit more time here, which is kind of annoying I guess. But it's really worth it. Keep it up.

 

[Deolrin]

Nice stuff, but I agree with M0rbid. Actually, I think the shadows are too strong, on the nose and around it(on either side of it). But that's minor stuff - my main concern is actually the firebird, which looks unrefined, sketchy and, well, bad, compared to your other skins(especially that extremely smooth looking Druid of the Flame). I don't know if it's the texture resolution or if it's your fault, but it just doesn't look as good as the feathers and other details on the Druid of the Flame. It looks like it was drawn with color pencils, for whatever reason.

 

[chr2]

Woah, been almost a month since I last updated this. But yeah, exams and stuff. Anyways, a WIP on the Air Revenant:

Tried to make the mace look more interesting. I can't really figure out if I succeeded, or if it just looks weird now.

Oh, and in case anyone hasn't noticed yet, I uploaded the Druid and Fire Hawk.

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

Ohh very nice indeed, although it does plain him out a bit - maybe keep the original blue glyph on the new silver pattern, like combine both.

I'm not quite sure I follow. There's no blye glyph on the original revenant texture, nor is there any silver on this one. Could you possibly explain further?

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

I mean those blue glyps on the mace - work them into the new texture of the mace which looks like gusts of silver wind ;D

 

[Codric]

The Air reverant epic
The druid is awsome and the hawk ditto
The lava giant needs more lava at the center but sorry to say that doesn't look like Garrosh but that is my personal opinion but great job with the other.

Well, I was originally told it was boring, which is why I changed it. I'll see what I can do, though it'll doubtly look good.

Thanks. Most of these are just WIPs. The body of the Molten Giant is currently just a recolor of the Mountain Giant. It will eventually gain a texture similar to that of the arms. Again, Garrosh is also just an early WIP. Hopefully (and most likely) the finished product will look more like the real deal.

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

They were boring, but more colorful - hence why you should merge the two :d

 

[chr2]

Aight, so there were a couple of gaps between the spiral thingies on the mace, which allowed me to plant those blue glowy parts. It doesn't have the same lightning-like shape as the others have, but hopefully it fulfills the coloration part.

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

Yesss!!!!

 

[Deolrin]

It looks great. The shield looks a little plain, you should do something to it. It's a big part of the texture and it looks fairly lame at the moment.

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

Maybe going a bit too far here... but why not draw some "stormy cloud" on it? free hand 4tw although that will make him look less like a special unit and much more like some hero.

 

[chr2]

Done with my exams, and time for another update:

Hopefully this makes it interesting enough. I tried multiple ideas, but this is the one I liked the best.

 

[Deolrin]

Oooh, this looks great! Nice job!

 

[UnsanctionedMagic]

Amazing!

 

[chr2]

Aight, uploaded it. Let's see what the moderators say about it.
