Hawkwing: No definition, poor/decent shading, and it's incredibly blurred. This will not get approved in its current state. However, the idea is nice.

Hawkwing: Progress is not being made.

 

[M4stah]

You shouldn't make the diffrence between invisible parts and visible parts so hard. Make them fade into eachother.

 

[knight26]

very nice! i like the idea a lot, even though its not yours.. nice work but could be better... like those white parts could use more shadows and highlights.. :S. you know? not just.. blank white. also the armor u made on the chest and the hands could use more highlights.
overall i like it, for now 3.6/5. i wont rate until u make a bit more changes.

 

[Krarnal]

Well an ethereal skin could be very useful but you need to do more shading on the white parts as knight26 said

 

[FrIkY]

Great idea, but not a great execution. Whole skin needs more shading.

 

[Nichita_00]

Add some colour, too, the pure white isn't totally realistic. Make the bandages old (brownish, like a mummy's; or make them red, or purple to show he was royal or other things like that). And as the other 2 dudes said above me, more shading.

 

[Malcous]

Yeah , great idea

 

[Misha]

Hmm... this is bad.

your idea might be neat.. but i don't see much here than a bunch of straps, instead of that you could try to put muscles and the face details to be the showy part that fades slowly, would certainly give him a better look than this. and a good idea is to tint him into ethreal green shade

so far, it doesn't impress me =/ 2.46/5 Lacking

~Misha~

EDIT: i gotta say the blade is terrific

 

[FrIkY]

Oh yeah, if anyone wonders, what the hell is "Ethereal", go check this link for more information.

 

[Misha]

ah.... well... then this is everything else THAN ethereal...

 

[Haistrah]

Pretty awesome!
Exaclty what I researched!
But can you make one without the weapons please ?
Or can I edit your skin for remove the weapons ?

5/5 guy =)

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Looks like a heap o' ribbons^^

 

[Ishkhan]

Was afraid to put in too much shading at first cause i wanted it to be clear as bandages, but now that I look at it, it could definitely use shading. thx guys, ill get on that right away

 

[Ishkhan]

feel free to edit it and take away his weapons, all I really care about is that I get some sort of credit, made him only for fun

 

[Haistrah]

Thanks guy =)

 

[Misha]

Ishkhan, don't doublepost, read the rules about doubleposting >_>

 

[Goldendemon]

I thinks its a nice idea and very useful :>
but please improve it and maybe you can make other versions like a red, blue and a green one

 

[Ishkhan]

Updated with changes to shading and tinting, hope it looks better now.
and sry about the double post, couldn't find the edit button XD (got it now tho, lol)

 

[Palaslayer]

too blurry. improve the quality of the skin and it will be good.

 

[Grog50]

Great idea, however the there isnt enough texture to the cloth. Its all very blurry

 

[knight26]

yeah, blurry. also that armor can be better don't u think?. take your time and make this a real badass looking skin!

 

[Pharaoh_]

I like it, if it could get a bir of more work, it would be a recommended piece of work for sure! Voted for approval of course.

 

[Doron]

4/5, very nice skin.

Once suggestion I have, is that his eyes need some type of glow. A team color eye glow would be cool, but something like just plain red is fine too.

 

[Ishkhan]

I was thinking of making his eyes glow as well, but to respect the original idea form world of warcraft i will keep him "eyeless"

 

[Haistrah]

No, your right !
Make his eyes glow!
Excellent idea !

 

[Doron]

http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Ethereal.jpg

There needs to be some sort of glow. His face looks way too plain.

 

[Misha]

Ishkhan, right now it looks cooler than before but ti still lacks..... thing you could to is to create a tiny glow aura around each strap on the body. you can do that in photoshop by usin' a policonal cut tool, making a layer and aplying the "outer glow" filter int the desired color. would ceertainly give it more style. but don't overdo it.

how's that?

 

[THE_END]

I know how you could make this better...do you know how to use the lightest alpha shading to make things see through? If you do or don't know it, I have a great idea that could make this skin alot better
PM me

 

[Ishkhan]

k ill do the eye thing and ill try what you said misha, cant promise anything too exciting ^^

 

[Misha]

You could listen to what THE_END says too :3

 

[Krarnal]

Well this is how it should look
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=18335#screenshots:id=37888
But i think some particles inside it should make it more ethereal But then it would be a model and not a skin

Anyway you made it nicer But still needs some more

 

[wereguy2]

This would be a lot better as a model...

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

ey' dude, i think that you should create a new model with this skin. You use demon hunter model, but add particle emitters so it looks like glowing purple. What'cha say?

 

[Sabelion]

if it only was that easy to make a model..... .

nice skin tho, but I think you need to remove some of the bandages that sticks in behind his face if possible? because the icon looks realy good and your skin should be kinda like the icon. (no bandages behind face) and glowing eyes whould be nice. lal

 

[Krarnal]

if it only was that easy to make a model..... .

Actually its pretty easy to create a model based on demon hunter, gice it this texture and add some particles It can be done with a few nodes

 

[AIagremm]

Awesome!!! You made an etheral!
Make some normal units too!
But now 5/5 and +rep for you!

 

[Dentothor]

really? what the heck is this? a couple of paint lines with really crappy shading and pointless lines. The idea is good, but the execution is absolutley horrible. 2/5

 

[AIagremm]

Dent is right, you need to work on your skin.

 

[Haistrah]

really? what the heck is this? a couple of paint lines with really crappy shading and pointless lines. The idea is good, but the execution is absolutley horrible. 2/5

With this skin the demon hunter looks like a real Ethereal..

 

[Dentothor]

With this skin the demon hunter looks like a real Ethereal..

but it lacks proper quality. it may look like one but it doesn't have the proper detail and shading to look like a GOOD one

 

[Haistrah]

The portrait looks bad, I'm ok.
But look ingame or on the screenshot. It looks pretty awesome!

The next step is to add purple particles on the Demon hunter's model with this skin.

But for the skin, I don't think he can do better on Warcraft III.

 

[AIagremm]

We can. The only thing we need is inspiration.

 

[Dentothor]

The portrait looks bad, I'm ok.
But look ingame or on the screenshot. It looks pretty awesome!

really though. its way too plain and simple. a good skin has proper shading and good techniques that have it so that it looks good alll the time. not just from a far distance... -.-""

im still saying that it needs a ton of work still

 

[Misha]

I think you guys need to sit still and be silent for a while, and let the pros decide what's what.....

you're not giving constructive critique enough.... the guy needs ecouragement. and you're NOT providing that.

 

[Dentothor]

i really think im gonna do a remake of this...
but it'll have to wait till after the contest

 

[Ishkhan]

your crowding me guys, but im gonna try and work on it, I definitely have a lot to fix

 

[Misha]

have they?.. i didn't see much tips on How to fix it...

 

[AntoMarc]

awesome idea and in-game looks cool maybe some more shading and it will be perfect 4/5.

 

[Ishkhan]

Sorry, i know nothing about models, if anyone really cared to help me they could, but I might end up changing him to a model to add particles, if I ever did get to reading a tutorial on that. I think I will keep him a skin for now though.

Edit: Also updated for his new face and a bit on the body, hopefully the portrait is acceptable now
