Moderator's Review:

as i said, try maybe making a black metal armor, with your preferred design, and then do all the highlights from the light as red.. that'll make it sinister. and be thorough with changes before you update

 

[Avex]

I'll be honest.. I feel like I could this exact look by tinting a regular footman 255/0/0

 

[Adiktuz]

The skin changes (thorny things on the skin) aren't much visible... I only see a red tint as changes...

 

[takakenji]

too red

1/5 Reject

Nice try, but you should add some textures and highlights to it, to looks much better. Good luck.

 

[Footman16]

Have a bit of contrast to bring out the detail. The border of the team-colour should be a different vibrant colour. The hand and back of helmet are far too dark almost black.

Nice job for a first try and at least it is not a recolour so stick at it and you'll get some good results.

Changes are too minimal and I feel the red color shouldn't overlap the metalic parts. 1/5

I think the work and effort put into this is substantial. Its not a re-color. It looks like he remade just about every surface, however, it didn't take well. The borders used don't show on the model. I don't think the red color is a reason to reject it but it does look a bit red. More variation in color would be an improvement. With all art and design contrast is an important aspect that brings out the color and accentuates the strength of an image. For example, if some metal was showing, the red would stand out even more (which is the point of this skin, if I'm not mistaken). The helmet looks standard and not anything like the skin (why is this? I don't think its intentional). The .blp image (skin) looks good as a flat image, but does not look as interesting when wrapped on the model. I vote that this remains pending and that Dalharukn be given some more time to make a few adjustments.

I'd bother with a decent comment, but he already put it exactly as I would. In addition I'd also suggest you learn how to alpha channel a skin, in example you clearly want those 'cracks' around the shield more realistic, if you alpha a few parts out(learn about alpha channels here:Tutorial made by: Orc-Tamer

The 'texture' of the shield is team colored(the most part), basically drawing over it has no effect unless you edit the team colored parts of the texture(which you need to learn how to edit different channels).

Great point. And if you don't have photoshop or another editor that permits use of layers and transparency, then try pixlr.com/editor It works almost as well as photoshop, just remember to save often so you don't lose your work if you accidently close your web-browser.

 

[Misha]

bleh.. not really done that cool..
you know what would be better-ish (i think) you do the whole texture as black metal and then all the highlights you do in vivid red. I kinda did it so with my naga automaton skin

 

[AwzomeWulfzz]

1/5 Reject

That's one way to be stupid. Sorry if that offended you. As you had no reason.
Anyways, I suggest you don't make it that red. It looks like a 255/0/0 footman but with a different head. Anyways, for now, 1/5 and either NEEDS FIX or REJECTED
