Faerie Dragon Whelp -- An experiment.

Firstly, let it be known that I in no way consider myself a graphics artist. The following skin uses just about every technique that seems to be frowned upon in the skinning community, but in my mind (however deluded that creature may be) it looks fairly decent, and for only about 56kb, looks fine in game as well. It isn't a finished product either, considerable tweaks are still left to be done to draw it further away from any notion of a plain recolor which certain parts of it are and alot of fine tuning. I'm just kinda looking for a reaction of where it is at now. Hate on it all you want, the more critical the better, I'm a rank amateur using GIMP and this is the first modification I've been happy with so far.

um.... texture is so deformed (or blurried) though.. flat unwrap would help, i cant judge it from this point...

I agree with HT, though it looks kind of alright to me.

Please show the unwrap.
