M0rbid: While this is a very good concept and original idea, the execution is - unfortunately - lacking. No matter wether you redraw or recolour original content, the skins layout does not change at all and is therefor not approveable. 67chrome's post should be considered your point of orientation as he summarizes on what you have to do to improve. For now this skin is rejected though.

reminds me of my texturing attempts.. solid concept, neat execution, but in overall, very blurry...

how much did you enlarge the image before drawing? it needs to be very large to get sharpness like war3 textures (after shrinking and re-sampling, that is)

Yep i know, but well, i guess i may get better with some practice.

I exporte the Lord Garithos.blp file from WC3 viewer, and when opened in photoshop, what i did is enlarge it almost as twice as nomal size. Then with the original file as background, i starte to use it as refference to mark where to draw.. i guess it is kinda a bad technique since i will always get the same forms, but well, i had to get starte with something!

Thoose chain scales kind of things in red and white are a patter that i actually had draw before starting the skin. When i finished it, i just copied and pasted it all over the areas i though they would look cool (but i must admit i shouldn't have placed them in the helmet, i don't know, i am starting to hate it).

EDIT: Shitty keyboard plus bad english! I hope i explain myself in the previous comments

Lord Garithos would've made a perfect member for the Scarlet Crusade and I'm personally glad he died in Warcraft III.
Oh and this skin is awesome, and are you gonna do anymore Scarlet Members at all?

Well i almost finished some Priest like Inquisitor (although i don't really like the outcome so far). But keep in mind that the "Scarlet's Lore" is not what i meant to conceptualize. Read this!
Oh and i am glad you liked it!

yup it is understandable
well, i guess you should practice painting everything and not CnP-ing.

I do not think "Freehand" means what you think it means. Only about ~20% of that is freehand if I'm being generous, the rest is recolored.

I'd recommend viewing the 2D art tutorials on this site (There are actually a lot of good ones) and lots of practice. You could check out the skin UVs link in my sig too, though you might need more practice before you can really put the UVs to use. If nothing else the 2D tutorials should point you to the tools that vastly improve the quality of life when making skins.

So it´s more like Templar,than Scarlet Crusader?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Too little changes! Needs more freehand!

Thanks! i will do that and take my time to practice even more before i decide to upload another skin. But seriously, this is at least 60% freehand i think you may be confused in quality issues, but keep in mind that white areas are pretty easy to shadow, as you only have to burn them; it is not like shadowing a solid color. Oh well, i shouldn't try to teach YOU anything, so, thanks for the links!

 

[darkdeathknight]

NOOOO now my skins are not the last skins uploaded on hive D:

 

[Jazztastic]

Even if it is only 20% freehand it is a very cool idea. If it was less blurry it would be an easy cue-in for most maps.

 

[The Reanimator]

Looks great, definitely reminds me of an inquisitor.

 

[clockwork2]

suck? HARDLY, pretty good for a first time!

 

[imsoconfusedlol]

AWESOME! Its a Templar! This is extremely useful for me 5/5!

 

[Horselord12]

I think it's really useful, and looks good.
THX!
