THE_END: I do like this skin, but really the shading used on some parts of this from the Death Knight skin just really piss me off, it looks like shit to be honest. Change it, and I'll approve. Though you do mention CnP in the description

20th Mars 2009
Dan van Ohllus:
While I don't see no actual CnP parts, I wish that you could add some highlights and contrast on the Mage's robe and pants. And the horse's tail needs some contrast as well.
You have 10 days.

EDIT: Changes has been made, so I'll approve it.

Yes, very usefull and better as the first. 4/5
The "Flames" looks like ...

 

[adythewolf]

I don't like it :|. Sorry, but no. I would ratter use a renegade wizard as model.
I like the clothes you gave, but i don't like his face and the horse's feet.
sorry => 2/5

Last Edit:

[knight26]

[Kael Theron]

I've done the change about eyebow and checked in game, it looks acceptable on the whole model and much better on the portarait. I'll update it afternoon. Thx again misha. +rep

And thx to knight26 for a good advice +rep

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Looks kinda weird in the walk animation. You can improve on that.

 

[Misha]

could you consider changing his robe? yeah it is good like this but... Yellow? please that is so conflicting with the rest. may want to just eraze yellow on robe =3 and sure put in moar details =3

~Misha~

~Misha~

But tell me which colours i should use in your oppinion. Grey, blue, silver?

 

[Misha]

But tell me which colours i should use in your oppinion. Grey, blue, silver?

maybe somethin' between silver and dark green, for teh evil look >=3 and sure change teh shape of ornaments >=3

 

[Kael Theron]

Ok I'll work on it. If the new version looks better (i'm not sure cause sometimes I just can't paint something ) I'll make and update

 

[Misha]

if you paint carefully it WILL be good 8)

 

[MasterHaosis]

Yeah man I like this! Awesome work! And rep!

 

[Misha]

it is nice... altho you could remove those ribbs near legs and leg bones back, that really ruins the model if you ask me. =/ instead you can add a similar thing that is on front legs of the horse. yeah you can keep ribs, but only on stomack area, not where the hips are =3

and as for teh wizard, it could use a bit more shading on sleeves 8)

good input?

~Misha~

 

[RaijinSpark]

4/5 may do

Ok, Misha I'll work on it. Do u think I should also remove leg bones from area above back legs?

good input?

Yeah, u were very useful. Thanks

 

[Misha]

Ok, Misha I'll work on it. Do u think I should also remove leg bones from area above back legs?

the whole back leg\hip bone area is wrong wyou should mask that with armor as on front. (looks cool :3) maybe if you do some neck bones on the horse? it looks kinda unreal atm xD

and hooves should catch some detailing... not just the color >=3

 

[Kael Theron]

Hmm I'll try with those bones on neck but if my memory doesn't fail me there can't be done a lot with that cause this wrap of the model is bad

and hooves should catch some detailing... not just the color >=3

Well i gave up with those hooves. I just can't improve them more

 

[Misha]

Hmm I'll try with those bones on neck but if my memory doesn't fail me there can't be done a lot with that cause this wrap of the model is bad

sorry... i was actually refering to bones that connect the head and neck ^^;; the rest is fine ^^

Well i gave up with those hooves. I just can't improve them more

of course you CAN rework the hooves. darken the actual toe/hoof part (better look at unedited version of mage for reference) and leave the color of leg =3

 

[RaijinSpark]

does the team color affects the weapon?

--Off-Topic--
and this is my 100th post lol XD

 

[PROXY]

Uhhh, now it is very good!

 

[Kael Theron]

does the team color affects the weapon?

All team color is above horses head. Moreover there is a hero glow as in the normal archmage model (on horses legs and the end of the wand)

Well some things are arleady changed I hope I'll be able to make an update tomorrow or on monday

 

[Devine]

Freehand the robe, redo the hair on both the mage and the horse and it's aprovable.

 

[Kael Theron]

yes i'm going to improve mage's hair(not beard) and maybe chnge horse's hair but the robe IS freehand

 

[Misha]

Freehand the robe, redo the hair on both the mage and the horse and it's aprovable.

lol... teh robe does look a bit plain lol

and certainly change design of shoulderpads >:3

 

[Kael Theron]

Well I like this shoulderpads...

What do u think about another update?

 

[Misha]

looks nice 8)

 

[Deon]

It gets better and better... The thing that needs improvement now is the color of feet. Come on, white legs? This is an undead horse... Apply some rotten texture or just make them grayish. If you make it I will rate this one 5/5.

 

[Kael Theron]

Check it in-game because of hero glow they look like a bit team colored Wrath of the Lich King deathcharger's hooves. And the skin is already very dark so i have to think about for a long time before/if i decide to chage it

Deathcharger:

[Misha]

why don't you detail the tail as you detailed the neck hair on the horse? oO it would fit good >=3

and also..... white legs, yes. white hooves....... no
draw the hooves and just the hooves, the toe ,nail,w/e part of the hoof. and shade it.

when you do that it should be good to go. 8) and also the beard could catch some sharpening. (you could also split it in two Via alpha channel)

~Misha~

 

[Kael Theron]

Hmmm...

I may change the tail but be aware that it is hardly noticable in-game (u can check that if u want)

Hooves - i gave up... I just don't want to make hooves like usual horse's or death knight's horse's. I decided to make something original but i can do little more than i did.


About the beard - i'm afraid it might suck on the portrait however i can check it cause the idea is very interesting .


I don't promise any update and certainly no update before moderator's review (i hope that someone will finally do that )

w00t? my review ain't enough?

about teh hooves.... do first normal ones, shade, then add some nice ornaments and voila... evil hooves. >=D (suggest back hooves and silver-green-ish metal ornaments wraping around from the "horseshoe"

 

[Kael Theron]

w00t? my review ain't enough?

Yours are much more important of course

about teh hooves.... do first normal ones, shade, then add some nice ornaments and voila... evil hooves. >=D (suggest back hooves and silver-green-ish metal ornaments wraping around from the "horseshoe"

well the idea is really nice i'll do and check if it isn't to dark Thanks again Misha. What would i do without you?

 

[Misha]

What would i do without you?

no comment lol... >=D

 

[Deon]

I love the current hooves. Really nice skin.

 

[Kael Theron]

Updated again this time I fixed the hair on neck and changed some armor not to make the skin to dark.

I haven't changed beard as Misha wanted cause in my oppinion it looks worse than a current version.


I hope it is the final update

 

[Misha]

THE_END: I do like this skin, but really the massive CNP used on some parts of this from the Death Knight skin just really piss me off, it looks like shit to be honest. Change it, and I'll approve

i find your review quite... unprofessional. calling a skin like that after so much effort from the author >.< yet.. i agree with ya about the CnP =/

kael.. if you could somehow freehand the hooves and that back hip armor on the horse. the armour needs smaller chainmail.

one thing that would help you is to make the skin bigger by half, then draw all details, then shrink to original size and sharpen. this has worked for me ^.^

~Misha~

 

[Kael Theron]

kael.. if you could somehow freehand the hooves

it IS 100% freehand! Where u can see CnP there? Those borders look like that cause i painted on the old version (however as u can see it doen't appear in-game )

one thing that would help you is to make the skin bigger by half, then draw all details, then shrink to original size and sharpen. this has worked for me ^.^

Yes i was using this method do, but it's quite impractical for me cause i usually check everything in wc3viewer just after doing any change.

About the armor on back: yes i wanted to do that but finally i decided to keep to old version cause noone other noticed that. I'll improve that and if the deatils won't be lost in-game I'll upload

 

[Misha]

well make sure that you hide those borders because THE_END thinks they're CnP BECAUSE of that 8(

Yes i was using this method do, but it's quite impractical for me cause i usually check everything in wc3viewer just after doing any change

yes, inpractical, tedious, booring BUT IT GETS RESULTS 8)

About the armor on back: yes i wanted to do that but finally i decided to keep to old version cause noone other noticed that. I'll improve that and if the deatils won't be lost in-game I'll upload

well..... "noone other" includes me, THE_END, and all respected and sharp eyed people who can make or break the skin 8)

so... do as you're asked and draw smaler rings in the ringmail on the back hip of the horse

~Misha~

 

[Zeverens]

I realy think this look awsome. I think you could change the horse's neck though.. It looks pretty weird with a purple neck on a undead horse... Is it cloth or something? If so, you might need to shade it abit better. But i think i looks awsome anyways! 4/5 and +rep to you.

 

[Misha]

lol darken the neck and.... i really liked the previous white-blue-is hair and tail of the horse =/

 

[Kael Theron]

Currently I'm trying to find any nice alpha-out to make skin look like a long bone (how to say in english a long bone which keeps ribs? ) and hair from it. That would be nice however now it looks like shit :/

 

[Misha]

uh... spine?

 

[Kael Theron]

Yeah I ment spine

 

[Misha]

spine would not be really good.... considering the bad wrap this model has

redo the mane and tail into that bluish tint i liked.

 

[Deon]

It's still not approved? How sad. I hope you satisfy moderators so they do it.

THE_END: I do like this skin, but really the massive CNP used on some parts of this from the Death Knight skin just really piss me off, it looks like shit to be honest. Change it, and I'll approve

Yeah, massive CnP is a very bad thing so I hope you fix it and THE_END agrees to approve this skin. I really like it.

 

[Malcous]

Nice! 5/5

 

[Linaze]

That looks like a cool texture for the archmage. Good work.
