Dwarven Death Knight

[Kwaliti]

So I decided to take up skinning again. I started this a while ago, but I finally found the time to work more on it. I've edited the head so far.

 

[HappyTauren]

Didn't you have, liek, a complete skin like this before?

 

[Kwaliti]

Yeah, but it was shitty.

 

[Dionesiist]

The helmet looks nice, but the face might do with a few more shadows/highlights, can't figure.

 

[breebree123]

hmm. .face looks nice. .

 

[Kazzo]

the face looks pretty cool the helmet is nice keep working on that!

 

[THE_END]

Uhm...moar WIPZ?

K Thanks

 

[Deolrin]

Head looks nice so far. Gonna keep an eye on this

 

[Linaze]

I dislike the fact that the face and beard are the same color.

 

[Kwaliti]

Somebody asked for an update?

The skull is gray because it's under team color.

 

[r0bfish]

looking good, but hows the wrapped?

 

[Deolrin]

Looks great on the unwrap, now show us the wrapping

 

[Kwaliti]

I changed the beard's color.

 

[Hawkwing]

Hmm. I don't think I like the contrast between the skull on the pauldrons and the trimming.

 

[Kwaliti]

I don't like it either, but team color is team color. There's not much I can do since it's the only team colored part on the model.

 

[Hawkwing]

Team Colour?

 

[Kwaliti]

Yes, the pauldrons are team colored.

 

[Hawkwing]

The trimming? And if so, would that mean the blue on the helmet is Team Colour too?

 

[Kwaliti]

No, no, the skull is team colored.

 

[Nbah]

I would personally make the beard a darker color, like mid lightish black. But that's just my liking, light gray doesn't look bad either.

 

[Hawkwing]

No, no, the skull is team colored.

Could I see it with Blue team colour then?

 

[Kwaliti]

Sure:

 

[THE_END]

I like it alot low
I wanna see what your gonna be doing with that axe n hammer

 

[Dionesiist]

Alpha the axe into a sword, obviously.

 

[Kwaliti]

So I got the time to work on the skin more. The leg wrap killed me because the legs aren't equally stacked.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I like it a lot. The armor looks great, seems a bit monotone to me, as does the face, but it still looks really good. Can't wait to see what you do with the weapons.

 

[supertoinkz]

i like it

 

[THE_END]

Great job on the legs

 

[Arowanna]

Alpha the axe into a sword, obviously.

I agree
Would be awesome!

 

[PsychoNerdial]

I'd recommend changing the colour of the gloves to something darker, there's a huge contrast right now :S

 

[Kwaliti]

Oh, shit. I forgot about reworking the gloves. Thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: I threw this up in about 15 minutes or so. I still need to work on the borders. What do you think?

 

[THE_END]

Good start...maybe make the runes bigger or more of them
And for the border...well I'm sure you have some sort of idea

 

[breebree123]

the update is a WoW!

 

[Dionesiist]

It looks like a milk box...

 

[Hawkwing]

Hmm. The simplicity from the legs and the torso is a lot different, but I guess that's not a big deal. The weapon could certainly use some work.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'm having a shitstorm in real life, so this might have to wait for a while. I'm lacking ideas as well. =\

 

[Dionesiist]

Axe = Alpha Sword?

 

[Slaydon]

very nice skin

 

[Kwaliti]

Axe = Alpha Sword?

I'll see what I can do, since there'll be a big nothing in the middle of the blade.

That hammer looks a little to light, from looking at death knights and doing a skin of one myself I believe there main color is black, and a nearly white hammer does not really say death knight to me :/

The hammer could stand to be much darker and use more runes, three would probably be OK. Adding skulls on the ends of the hammer might work out all right as well >

The face seems a little to light though, in particular the nose seems to light, giving it a shiny appearance. If you make it more of a medium gray it would still give that death-like feeling, as well as offer a good deal of contrast between the beard and face. Yes, I know in WoW most of the death knights have paler skin, but the tone you have seems more like porcelain than pale, and a zombie gray would look much better

Other than that I really like the skin, looks like a high-kwaliti job to me XD

Thanks for the wall-review, and congrats on the promotion.

As for the central part of the hammer, I'm trying to make it look like a carved stone or something like that, within an ornate frame, if you know what I mean. Something like this

I still have to add the third rune, and this is not the final hammer design.

As for the face, I'll see what I can do

EDIT: So, I tried making a basalt or ebony type of rock now. What do you think?

 

[Deolrin]

I think make the borders\frame a tad darker and Gothic, maybe icy since Death Knight are in fact icy guys. Anyhow, the runes color scheme is killing me, and the runes themselves look like plastic. I suggest making it this way: Bottom most rune to be dark red, middle rune to be teal and upper rune is fine as it is. The hammer itself looks pretty bad, I don't really know why. Though if you'll fix what I mentioned, I'm sure it'll look much better. No offense was meant in the post, I'm just trying to help :O

I already said that this isn't the final design, but nobody reads posts completely these days. I darkened the runes before you posted, since the rock looked like black custard with plastic molds in it. Thanks for the input though

 

[67chrome]

Thanks

Anyways, it seems like awkward plastic components are just what usually comes out by default from just about everyone (including me), if you want it to look like stone I would recommend looking at stone to get the texture/coloration/shading right
Are you going for a blood/frost/unholy theme with the runes? Maybe make the orange rune redder, and the blue rune more of an icy blue color. For the boarder maybe you could even go with a sort of bone-theme like the ziggurats have, though I'm not sure if there are enough pixels to work with to do anything more intricate than the boarder you already have.

Oh hay, one thing I just thought of: I don't think I have seen any skin really do anything with a beard, check out some of the beard designs I found on the dwarfs and vry-something barbarians from WoW

pimped out beards

Epic beards ftw!

 

[Kwaliti]

How about now?

 

[Deolrin]

Extremely blurry but the design is awesome. Though, the frame still needs fixing... Read what I wrote in my previous comment please.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'm working on a new frame at the moment, and it's blurry since I zoomed it like hell and it's in measly 256x256. This is what I came up with the frame at the moment:

 

[Dionesiist]

Perfect.

 

[Deolrin]

Perfect.

That.

A really dark framing for those bones would be perfect. But a REALLY dark one.

 

[THE_END]

I like it l0w,clean that up and lets see it then
And the runes should be brighter IMO
