NetherDrake0,3.blp

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is how i think the Nether Drakes should've looked.

I originally made this 'cause i were irritated on the fact that if you replace the "Black" texture with something else, like a cool DemonHunterMorphed skin, you also replaced it for the nether drakes and all other units using that skin.
I made this so that it could be used instead of the nether drakes.

Hope it works for you guys!
Please report bugs and give feedback. :)

67chrome: This doesn't have enough freehand content, I can see way to much (O.K., around 50%) of the azure dragon skin on this. Skins need to have 75% freehand content for me to approve. The nether dragons from WoW look really different from this, you may want to find some screenshots of them and use them for reference images, or if you want to go in a different direction google search dragons until you find something cool, and try to incorporate those ideas with this. But as is this needs more original work.

I'm no moderator, but I'd like to rate this skin

Quality:
[+] The tail and lower body is very nicely done as well as the legs
[-] The upper body and head however could use a little work, he kinda looks a little stoned or just like -_-, his eyes are just a little to small and thin. The upper body is mainly just a big purple mess, looks great on the pic, but not so great in-game, and the purpleness doesn't really match the cool blue lower body, I would suggest going into the same detail on the upper body as you did with the lower, recolor the purple blue and then, if you are useing GIMP then use the Overlay tool and Overlay it purple with a double coating

Detail:

[+] As I said the lower body detail is really good
[-] But the lower body needs some work


Usefulness:

[+] Really good for maps set in the Warcraft world
[+] Fairly good for maps NOT set in the Warcraft world
[+] People with good imaginations could use this in many ways


Concept:

[+] Concept is really good, as I said above people with good imaginations could put this in really good use


RATING: 4.9\5 or 7.9\10

I shall save my final rating on it until the next update, if the changes are good and improve to quality of the skin to make it quite the epic skin it has the potential to be I shall rate it
5\5

I'm working on blurrying it down ATM.
By, among other things, bluifying the armor. (not the trimms.)
It actually looks alot more Nether-Ish now, in my opinion.
Anyways, about the icon, i'l make one when i have the final version/if it gets approved.

Thanks for the comment. (you too Anarion) :)

EDIT: OOps, ya ninjaposted me Silverfish. ;)
Glad you like it. ^^

EDIT2:
Updated the skin!
made it alot more bluish and added more contrast.
Also added more armor and purpleness.

EDIT: Arooghps. :S
The skin's been moderated allready. Sozry, didn't notice before i updated.
I'l get to work to adding more freehand.

Also, i'm not trying to make it look anything like a WoW nether drake Chrome ;)
I'm making what I think a nether drake should look like.

I'm OFFENDED!!!
Nah, just kidding ;)
That's your opinion, and even though i disagree you're allowed to think whatever you want.

Anyways chrome, i've taken the liberty of spraying red paint on all the places i've freehanded it. And really, **** me if i'm wrong, that's ATLEAST 75%. :S

The texture looks awesome and useful! I've never played Wow so I don't know how's the originallity ^^
But I don't really care too much so I think it's amazing!
That skin you're editing now... for some reason looks weird :S
But I'm sure it will look better when it's placed in the model.

What skin? The red one? :p
Nonono! That was just to show chrome how much of it was freehand ;)

Anyways, glad you like it :D
But could you please tell me what makes you refer to WoW? :(
This thing has nothing to do with WoW. Why does everyone refer to WoW?! O.ô

Chrome said something about it was relationed with the Nether Dragon of WoW, that's why ^^

Psst, misha. You allready showed me that tutorial. :p
Post something about how i can improve it instead.

How can i tell you how to improve when you don't seem to read the tutorial/s?

your skin has no structure.. I can't help much. I can only tell to look better at the dragon skins

highlights and shadows are off too..
