My first skinning attmept

[Deleted member 177737]

Hey,

I've recently started re-skinning the below model because it's original texture looked horrid. It's my first attempt at skinning so I'm just "winging-it" I started by using windows paint but I switched to Paint.net after a few min.
If you have and ideas on how to improve the skin just tell me them.

The body is supposed to be covered in light-chain-mail with a pink/purple shirt with domo-kun on it, it looks a bit odd because the original texture is very small.

(The skin shown below is a little bit old, but it looks almost the same as the new version)

Download SAI, it's easy to use and will yield better results than paint.

you should improve the chainmail. I could show you, but it will take ages so maybe ask someone else.

GIMP is also a good tool and it is much like photoshop (except its legally free).

Bot for the skin, i would suggest working on some main body shadings and details to make it look more like a body and not like a 2002 video game anime character. The would be your first job. I would suggest to look at some tutorials so you can get a better view on how to draw most of these things easily. But good luck. Its a great start.
