Hawkwing: Aside from the intensely pale skin, this skin looks exceptional in game. Great work, Xezko!

 

[Justify]

Weeeee, that must be a joke. First skin and it's not only stupid recolor, nice
However, this lacks shading and you should place some highlights.
Please improve it, I can see this getting quite nice

 

[Xezko]

thanks

i will update it soon.

 

[Grog50]

Pretty good for a first, but its veeery blurry.

 

[Xezko]

i will try to fix it for next version.
thaks for comment

 

[Misha]

blurry,
not enough freehand,
not quite right colorscheme..
undefined,
lacks shading,
lacks highlights.

wow...
well, the blurry and the lacks shading & highlights i will fix it. but i dont understand why you say: 'Undefined' and 'Not quite colorscheme'
tell me, what colorscheme should I use?
about undefined... its about the lines or the theme?
... its my first skin, and to be onest, you're too hard with me.

 

[ike_ike]

Oh no, they're actually being horribly nice. At least YOUR first skin wasn't compared to birdshit :O

 

[Grog50]

His is a bit better than yours was Ike hahaha. And undefined is pretty much the same as blurry. For instance, where there should be a strong line with high contrast, there is more af a smooth surface.

Well, it's Misha he's hard to anyone... there isn't a single first skin that survived his critique

 

[AIagremm]

Not bad for first skin.
But you should make more details.

And what is it supposed to be? A Hippogryph rider?

 

[matmat01]

blurry
the dwarf on the back doesn't really look good
lack of sharpness. did you used smudge?
fix the beak

 

[FrIkY]

This skin is awful and it made me puke... no, just joking. You should fix the blurriness by using Sharpen Filter, but in future you should make skins on 512 x 512 size and after you're done re-size it to 256 x 256 again. Other then blurriness, you must work on shading and highlights. Oh, and... Hive Workshop Gryphon Rider? A bit crazy idea if you ask me! xD

2/5 - needs more work (don't expect higher rates because it's your first skin ). If you improve it, I'll improve the rating.

 

[frostwhisper]

Although the concept itself is good, the skin is extremely blurry and looks like a blob.

 

[HailFireer]

Well, its a lot blurry. Fix that, some more shading and highlighting nd it will be good.

I loke the green gryphon idea.

 

[Misha]

well those two pretty much point what's wrong. 8)

Whoa there are a LOT more feared critiquers than me.

 

[Xezko]

well, thanks to everybody for the improvement's ideas. i will work on this to make it look better.
P.S: the gryphon its something like 'nature' .... i dont really know what it is.. xD

 

[Misha]

most of all he needs detailing on feathers and the "nature" thingies.

 

[StaberFire]

The hammer and shield are big concerns for me, especially the hammer.
The shield needs to be sharpened and the hammer needs alot more depth, it looks pretty plain at the moment.

Not bad for a first skin, most first submissions are unnacceptable recolours, so nice job.
You should be thankful, my first mountain giant skin got torn to shreds, though it was freehanded. =P

 

[a7xpwns3]

We are being to hard to him. It's good for a first attempt. Very good. Although, it does lack in some things... I take it that it's just a different gryphon rider? Or does it have some other point... Like a nature gryphon? Or..... I don't know. 3/5 normally, but 4/5 since your an ameteur, and 5/5 becuase you have 2 2/5 ratings.

No problem.

 

[Xezko]

*Updated*

fixed some little things.
i tested it ingame and looks really fine. i think it doesnt need a lot of details if it looks really little ingame xD
thanks to everybody for leave a comment. i like your advices and i will try to improve this.
Thanks a lot, again.

 

[Misha]

not THESE feathers, fix the damn green blur on the wing. ~.~

i think it doesn't need a lot of details if it looks really little ingame xD

and that, my friend, is your biggest mistake =/
work it to perfection.

~Misha~

 

[AIagremm]

Now its much better!

 

[Xezko]

not THESE feathers, fix the damn green blur on the wing. ~.~

And why you dont say this before??
i think i will work hard on it...

and that, my friend, is your biggest mistake =/
work it to perfection.

Touché. -_-

Now its much better!

Thanks

 

[FrIkY]

Looks better! Here, 3/5! ^^

 

[Misha]

previous rating 2.56/5
current rating 2.84/5

You're improving slowly. I agree with FrIkY

 

[Xezko]

hey, Thanks

previous rating 2.56/5
current rating 2.84/5

You're improving slowly. I agree with FrIkY

yes, you're right. but, im slow because this isnt the only thing i'm doing now. im working in other projects...

by the way, i'm working on it, i added leaves to the wings and another stuff. i think i can update this soon.

 

[XS-Archangel]

I really like the colors

 

[Xezko]

*Updated*
check the change log.
i think this version is much better than the others.
And... what do you think about it?

 

[Sabelion]

I like it, espesialy the bird, the bird looks great and I coud never have guesed this is your first skin. But the dwarfs face is well.....it looks kinda weird....It coud help if you added a portrait picture tho .

I think the dwarf face coud use a little more shadings and highlights, but who knows? I might be wrong.

 

[Xezko]

well, Sabelion, there is a problem: the portrait model of the Gryphon rider shows all the model, included the gryphon, and its really dificult to see the face of the dwarf.
anyway, thanks to leave a comment.

 

[Misha]

the leafed feathers still look a bit messy, the rest is nice

~Misha~

wow, i cant believe misha said that O.O

Thanks

By the way,
Why Anybody aprovve this?
have i to do a thread in the request section?
help me plz...

 

[Justify]

No you don't have to.
Moderaters check the skins and write a comment, sometimes it takes time until they do it, maybe because they see that you're still improving the skin very often, maybe they got no time and I bet sometimes they're just to lazy
Just wait some time, they'll comment on it.
Btw, I like they wings much more then before, but yeah, the dwarven face looks ugly xD

 

[matmat01]

I think the color of the feathers in the wings and in the body must be match. It doesn't look good. Kinda retart I think. and if it is the THW Gryphon Rider, then it must match the color of the leaves in the site's layout.

 

[Misha]

Asking for aproval can lead to this NOT being aproved buddy x3
yes, the green wing feathers are too dark i think.... did you used the "forbidden xD" burn tool?
hmm that face could realy use some more work x3 and also the whole skin needs toning (green needs to match other green stuff)

 

[FrIkY]

Never ask a moderator for approval, just ask for a review. (if really needed)

Even a review might be risky XD

 

[Xezko]

oks, thanks to all.
well, i think i never finish thi skin -.-
i'm going to work on it ò.ó

 

[SILLYbear]

this is turning out nicely.

 

[StaberFire]

Brilliant, this has improved much since the last time I saw it.

Although the overall appearance has improved, I can't say I like what you have done with the gryphon's legs, adding leaves onto them and all... They looked better before, when they were bare. Now they look too messy.

 

[GAniksdal]

This skin is pretty cool.... and pretty good to be a first skin ^^

 

[Misha]

Yes, i agree. The bare legs looked better. i hope that you still have that as a backup.

 

[Xezko]

well, the other legs are a simple recolour, and i thinked is too much better if i do more pieces of the skin of an scratch an so.

 

[Misha]

there always have to be contrast. and there is none on legs now.

 

[Hawkwing]

By the way,
Why Anybody aprovve this?

help me plz...

No, you wait for me to think it's satisfactory. Work on defining some of the leaves and such first, then I'll likely approve it.

 

[Xezko]

Thanks... I'm working on the version 2.0
this new version will be completely redone. I will try to fix All the errors.

 

[Xezko]

Updated!
Totally Remaded!!!
Now is all from Scratch!

Poll:
Do u think its better without the leaves in the neck of the gryphon?
Should i re-add these?

 

[frostwhisper]

Wow. You're certainly going in the right direction!
Now listen. If you wanna make this REALLY awesome, desaturate it a bit. And add some different colored leaves.

Maybe even make a transition from green through yellow to orange on the wings.
Also, body needs to be a bit more brown.

Do that, and it'll rock.
