shiiK: My main concerns are the bold outlines, flat textures and use of too many highly saturated colours - overly cartoon-like style if you will. It could perhaps use some more shading as well. Furthermore, the leaves on the corners look nothing like leaves, and I don't think they fit the concept any way, so it'd be better if you removed them altogether. Lastly, the filesize is a bit high compared to the general quality of this as well as the usefulness. You should try reducing the filesize; remember that setting the BLP conversion quality to 75% will in most cases not reduce the quality of your skin at all, but setting it higher will dramatically increase the filesize (to no real benefit).

Very well done, I think!

 

[Death_Nevermore]

I'm impressed!! It's like a completely different building. But yeah the plants could do with some work

 

[Stanakin]

Pretty cool, though perhaps a bit too cartoonish.

First skin, huh? Looking forward to seeing more by you.

 

[noobieatmaps]

Only flaw is that the plants look more like piles of leaves.

4/5

 

[ThePug]

Why the smilie thing x)

 

[Misha]

Bwahaha XD this here is unique

EDIT: and it just looks marvelous on my Imposibellus model :3

 

[GhostThruster]

Too blurry and smooth. Design is good.

 

[rcshaggy]

Reminds me of a holy church, and perfect for the Warcraft I unit buildings.

 

[cavite000]

Smiley!

 

[Gausslander]

This has been done before, perhaps better.

However, this is quite good.

I hope you continue making building skins, they are quite useful.

 

[Pyroproctos]

Well. Thanks for your comments.
I will seriously work on the leaves. I made them because I found it too easy to alpha-remove the claw-like thingies at the corners. And it is still my opinion.
There has been at least one other skin for the Crypt, the Church of the Holy Light, which is rather good too. Actually I must confess it inspired me. But it used much alpha-removing for the most undeadly parts. It's not game for me.
Also, yes, I know, this skin is rather cartoonish... My hand drawings are also cartoonish. I can't help, it's my style. I promise I will work on it. Anyway, Warcraft III is cartoonish.
And for the smily thing... this part is not displayed on the model... So, I was bound to draw something here!
Seriously, yes, I'll work on the leaves.
(And anyway, it really looks nice on the Imposibelus! Nice model, Misha! Too bad the letters do not write Pyroproctos in greek like they do on the Crypt!)

 

[Mechanical Man]

Looks cute. Do you use the tablet?

 

[Misha]

(And anyway, it really looks nice on the Imposibelus! Nice model, Misha! Too bad the letters do not write Pyroproctos in greek like they do on the Crypt!)

lol they look like some runes or futuristic language, which is also neat c:

 

[Afterburner]

wow this really turns the crypt into something not undead. good job!

 

[Silverfish423]

Actually, the ''cartoonish'' look makes it seem great to me. WC3 does possess some cartoonish features. So, to me, it fits perfectly!
+rep (forgot to give it before)

 

[MustyToaster]

Very nice, i could see this fitting in well with maps that do not use undead. Maybe add some flowers or darken some of the leaf's of the bushes for added definition, other than that its perfect.

 

[wowcraft]

I agree with Silverfish423 stick with the cartoon style. This looks great, nice job.

 

[Rui]

I think the leaves are going to look weird no matter what you do. Nevertheless, this is a very good recreation, well done!

 

[Dentothor]

very well done reskin. it is quite similar to l0w kwality's reskin by looking at the similar colour tones and the whole general idea basis. but none the less, its pretty damn good. I'd like to see what you can come up with yourself. and with a bit more practice you might be up there with the top skinners

Top skinner you say? can i maybe.. grab him for my models?

lol, jokes aside, keep up the good work, dude

 

[adrianwho]

This looks... Awesome! If people could make this as a chirch, they should resize the whole building by one and a half or by two so it would look large and very visible. I think this is a very good skin. I might use this.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Is nice !

 

[Cakedog345]

Yes , is nice !

 

[Dentothor]

Top skinner you say? can i maybe.. grab him for my models?

lol, jokes aside, keep up the good work, dude

you dont know how much shit i havent done for you xD so many WIPS, that i just dont want to finish xD

 

[Monkeyladboy]

Sweet skin, but what's w/the smiley face?

 

[Pyroproctos]

what's w/the smiley face?

I explained it in my previous comment. It's here because it's not displayed. Stands to reason, doesn't it?

Top skinner you say? can i maybe.. grab him for my models?

Well... I'm not very keen on getting grabbed... But if you ever need some skinning work, perhaps I could practice on it. Not before September, though. I'm a bit busy these days.

Looks cute. Do you use the tablet?

Thanks. Well, actually, it was made with the mouse. I own a tablet, a large one (I even have to push stuff off my desk to use it), but I don't feel easy with it. I should practice more, to get used to it, mouse art has its limits.
(My avatar is a portrait of me I made to test my tablet)

 

[InfernalTater]

This is great, it gives the crypt a whole new look. It's gonna need a new name, too. 4/5.

 

[Cyberatog]

I would try to make the shields more interesting, give them a larger variety of colors for the heck of it, and see what works best!

 

[Blood Raven]

hmm, it is just an idea, but maybe you should make the walls a little overgrown to fit with te plants?

 

[marko9]

wery good 5.5

 

[Misha]

hmm, it is just an idea, but maybe you should make the walls a little overgrown to fit with te plants?

i doubt.. then it would show on all corners of the towers

 

[Blood Raven]

exactly
it would be nice the corners to be overgrown...

 

[-Grendel]

very nice. reminds me of candies for some reason XD
5/5

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Nice !

 

[Vunjo]

Ehm, everybody noticed the smiley, but nobody saw the Pi?

Good skin anyway!

 

[Rufus]

Wow really good job! Excellent!

 

[Pyroproctos]

Well... I updated it, with a lighter version...

Hell, it's about time!

I know, I know. I had other stuff to do these days...

Furthermore, the leaves on the corners look nothing like leaves, and I don't think they fit the concept any way, so it'd be better if you removed them altogether.

As I said, I considered it too easy to remove the claw-things on the corners. I tried the leaves, which I considered would fit the model best. I may upload another version without the leaves, for the most phytophobic members of the Hive.

I would try to make the shields more interesting, give them a larger variety of colors for the heck of it, and see what works best!

Er... I should try. But for the case of the shields over the gates, they were originally skulls, and I'm afraid the texture stretch would make any kind of pattern look terrible.
And the ones on the top of the corner towers are team-colored (by the way, I recommend displaying this model with a blue TC, so the shields match), and the texture at this place is so small-sized that any pattern would look awful.
Anyway, the simpler is the coat of arms, the purer (i.e. more inbred) is the family.

 

[HelpMeimNew]
