Fel Hound Remake

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well I have tried skinning before and even submited few skins, but I deleted them in name of justice cause they were almost just recolour or failed in another way. Now I tried to do almost 100% free hand work and here is the result! Tell me how I can improve this ugly thing (I know that I should not use burn and dodge, but I can't make any skins in other ways :/ )

Show it on a wrap sir

 

[Gausslander]

I second that. Currently it's impossible to judge without definite signs of smudge or burn. Curse those tools.

Well I thought that the "lava" parts where kinda bright so I edited them a bit and some other very minor things.
And the back foot looks odd and I have no idea how to fix it :/

It needs highlights, more depth (shading) and the glowy stuff (or whatever) needs to be brighter

 

[Grog50]

It neeeds more shading. BADLY.

 

[FrIkY]

needs more shading and those yellow crack stuff also needs work

 

[Hawkwing]

I think the problem with those lava cracks, besides the problems previously suggested (i.e. shadows and highlights), is that you're using one straight colour; Yellow. Start with an orange as your base colour, go in darker on the outsides (with.. lets say red), and then a very bright point down the center (yellow). This will give you a nice glowing appearance.

Anyways, great skin. Just add some shadows and highlights and you'll get a nice final appearance.

Well I would update this if I wouldn't have deleted it accidentaly >.< (I was cleaning desktop and deleted the folder where this was :/)

 

[Hawkwing]

Well on the upside you made some good progress.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Lol I just saved that picture above and started to work on it again >_>
(Only had to make new alpha channel lol and that is only for the beard or wtf that even is)

 

[Hawkwing]

Hooray! Now we can continue the skin. ^_^

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well it has been a while since I last time practiced skinning so don't get your hopes too high

Ok so what do you think about the lava thingy now? (I still don't get the whole highlight and shading crap >.<)

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

it needs heavy shadin dude

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Yeye, but like i said, I don't know what this whole shading thing is so stop telling "SHADING AMAGAD" >_>

 

[Hawkwing]

Make it darker where the sun dosen't hit. Make it brighter where the sun does hit. That's shadows and highlights.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The worst part is the whole thing makes no effing sense. It has no cohesion. The big flashy red make sit impossible to see details.
