Misha: nice, nice.. feels very powerful ingame, in both look and animation

If there are any serious design issues, feel free to point them out.

If you are going to make some comment about how you don't like the cape, or the mask, on a cosmetic level, keep in mind, that is personal preference, and this is my model. You are given full permission to edit whatever you please, so I would suggest doing that.

When it comes to personal preference, I submit my vision of a character or archetype.

 

[Vinz]

I just love how the cape floats!

 

[Heinvers]

Good to see these released

As I was mentioning earlier, it's quite fluent in mesh terms and the animations are laid down.

The Spell Channel one being my favorite <3

 

[Himperion]

The armor is awesome

But the blue section in the inner cape has me curious is a problem with the mdlvis or was intended, because in the texture that part is white.

 

[chobibo]

shoryuken!

 

[Footman16]

Hmm, there's nothing overtly Elfish about it, which would be my only criticism but based on your opening post I understand that, and, I think it's quite good because I was looking for a Human-ish mage model with this exact look so it adds to flexibility than detract from theme but some people might've wanted him looking a bit more pointy-eared.

 

[Splub]

Great model!

 

[Bain_Rebirth]

During spell channel, you can sort of see under his shoulderpad. This shouldn't really be noticible in game and it really isn't that big of a deal, but I just wanted to say the only thing I noticed that may be fixable.
I also don't know if this was apart of your design, and if it was just stay true to what you like Direfury

 

[Direfury]

I deliberately hid any trace of Elven ears behind the face-guard. To pass the mage off as a blonde Human, all you need to is resize the eyebrows.

 

[jonbon29]

Very neat animations, I too love the cape Gj.

 

[sniper_zero]

Any chance you'll make Kael'thas?

 

[Direfury]

No. I deliberately made this Blood Mage as different from Kael as I could, rather than making the mistake that I did with my generic(NotIllidanInAnyWayShapeOrForm) Demon Hunter.

However, it wouldn't be hard to edit a version of this model into Kael'Thas, so post a thread on the Requests section if you want.

 

[Radagast]

I like it... Only thing I have any questions about is his shoe size...

If I add ReplaceableColorId and set the filter mode to add alpha, would it give the armor team color?

 

[Direfury]

It would tint the armor to fit your desired color, not just the black parts. You would need to re-wrap the armor to a fitting texture.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ooh... You are just moving too fast for me, man.

I like this. I like this because it's a nice re-interpretation of the Blood Mage, but done in a way that belies/enables him to be another race (i.e. Human). I like the effects, the animations are pretty solid as usual... He's pretty blocky/sturdy, but meh.

I think my only complaint would be the abruptness of the fall for his Death, and the fact that his cape looks to be made of lead during Walk (i.e. doesn't move around very much, especially compared to the in-game Blood Mage).

Still, noice work.

 

[Sunreaver]

It doesn't have elvish ear or it will be great.
4/5

 

[DUTY OF RS]

4/5
His head should be different.

 

[Heinvers]

4/5
His head should be different.

Yeah and you are supposed to understand his design choices not impose yours.

 

[DUTY OF RS]

... Didn't say so neither.
Just saying that his head didnt fit.

 

[jonbon29]

Hmmmm...... this skin somehow applies only to the face of the model http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=95564 It looks like Cel in Dragonball hahahaha..

 

[Almia]

May I ask, does this model have "sprite" attachments? used by the sphere ability

 

[Marekage]

Can someone make him with captain texture, and helmet (Bloodelf one)

 

[BrazilEmperor]

Pretty Good man!

 

[Nudl9]

I can dig this model.
I'm using the model for a unit that use mana instead hit points in my map.
How do i get the Blood Elf version to work btw?
The white cape just sticks out too much.

Edit: Nvm, figured out that both files were actually the model

 

[hexhound]

Totally awesome model. Fits a concept i have in my head almost perfectly too, gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing it.

 

[V]

Outstanding! 5/5

 

[A]mun]

Could you change the Bloodmage to non-hero with decay animations?

 

[Mortimm]

A bit rigid in the second standing and spell casting animations. If, say, you wanted to illustrate the idea of a flowing cloak "in the way" so to speak, I feel like it could be conveyed better if the arms and hands were slow initially, then picked up speed in a more flick-like motion.
I am a sucker for the intimidating look of covering the nose and mouth though.
