GryphonRider.blp

This is my first skin than i upload to THW, for that reason I have decided to do it with the topic of THW.
In honor to the best War craft 3 Modding Site, this skin goes to Hive.

When i start this skin, this was one of the first i did it, but this has like 200 better version with a lot of impros and a totally remake.


History of the Skin

The old gryphon riders, were the elite for the dwarf, in the begin, only the humans of the alliance can give training to these powerfull heroes.
But, one time, The Hivers has started to train this great warriors. Then, the Hiver Gryphon Riders was enchanted with the force of the nature, and this mighty hero its the result of that fusion.

wow, thanks. I will improve it. I now i suck with skins but i like do it!

One Question: how I change the form of the color marks without ruining the whole alpha channel ??

I ask that because I don't want that they are seen as feathers when in fact it is supposed that they are leaves.

this isnt abandoned! I'm working on it.
I already fixed the wings and other things. i'm working on the face of the damn dwarf.
Sorry about the delay, happens that the faces are difficult to make. (and, as you know, this isnt my only work :D)

PS. I do a little update on the other skin of mines. :D
 
Alright, I'm liking the new wings. You need to make the rest of the body feathery too though. You just have patches of two or three right now. Gryphons need more than that. If you don't add those feathers, his body looks like a ball of plaster.

Wrong colour scheme, I don't like it.
Colour schemes are damn important, they can make a difference.

Very true. The problem is that it's way too strong of a green. Decrease the saturation. Maybe shift the hues a bit and darken it too.

Maybe something a bit like this.
 
The body looks really ... soft. The shading's way too delicate and smooth. The team colour looks horrid too. It's too solid.

it's hard to do Teamcolored leaves... maybe a TC cover-up with some.. dunno.. weird flower.. could do the job?

and Hawkwing's hue-change suits quite better lol...

EDIT: Again... color talons the same color as beak and roughen up the body details

Now.. can someone say this thread is closed? It has reached it's limit and it's almost perfect now. almost. Still, the color of the dwarf's skin is too pale and like it has a swine flu. maybe change it's color to the skins of people in tropical country. Tan.

Aaaah swine flu has infected HIVE D=

XD

Now ontopic: The skin still needs a bit of reworking, since you suggested stuff. but.. eventually it is up to mods to make or break the skin =]
