THE_END: This is mostly a recolor. 2 days or this is gone, improve

 

[varsaigen]

Sorry for the screwed up pic on the left. I have no clue what is wrong with it. It changes to the skin pic when clicked on. Sorry for the inconveniance.

Edit: After waiting half the day... IT WORKS!

 

[Fisher621]

Its good however i dont think i like a panda with huge tusks,,, i dont think they have tusks at all.. 6/10

 

[varsaigen]

They don't. I noticed this myself. But as it is a texture to go over a model, I left it. Plus, without the tusks, it looks wierd with the widened gum where they come out.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

But you could just edit the gum to have fur on that spot or something

 

[varsaigen]

I am in that process now. All of the spaces inbewtween the body parts are being alphad out. That includes the gums. I will update it when I am finished with alpha channels. Thank you guys! =D

 

[FrIkY]

I made and posted a panda skin not long time ago, but they rejected it because it was just retone and recolor... it looked kinda nice, but... rejected...

I think your skin needs to be more whiter and lighter, and those tusks are not needed

 

[Hawkwing]

He looks like he fell in the mud. D:

Brighten up the white fur. Lookin' great! Keep it up!

 

[Someguy19]

Remove the tusks, fix up the gums and brighten up the fur (the gray parts). Other than that, it's a nice idea and great skin.

 

[LobsterMan]

It looks kinda strange

 

[varsaigen]

Ok guys. I have a version that I am completing other alphad areas. I alphad out the tusks, and will brighten the gray areas. Thanks guys. I have one question though. How do you get Teamcolor?

EDIAT: Ok. I have alphad out the stuff that is not required. I am brightening stuff up but don't know how to get teamcolor to work. So if you guys know how, Please Tell Me. Thank you for your patience.

yes, so unless you get freehand into this icon thats clearly visible dont expect this skin to be staying here.

 

[Someguy19]

I would tell you but I have no idea how to even model/skin, sorry.

 

[varsaigen]

Werewulf, I am making a lot of changes at the moment. I am even alphaing out the tusk. Patching some holes in his fur, and highlighting parts of his fur. not to mention shadows. Would that work? Or would I have to do more?

 

[Hawkwing]

Check the Geosets on the model you are making a new skin for. If the material applied to said Geoset is set to "Team Colored" then the areas that you have alpha'd out will become the color of the player owning said unit. Make sure you haven't set your Eraser tool, the tool that Alpha's out areas on an image, to 100% opacity or your Team Colored area will be way to bright.

Considering this skin isn't exactly "Freehanded", trust me the definition is very complicated, it will most likely not get approved. Though it is a useful skin and can be used in other places. You could probably put a screenie of this in a Gallery on your Profile Page.

 

[HappyTauren]

dude, lrn2freehand.

 

[Kimbo]

Really, as it is its far too blurry, a pandas colouring is far more clear and distinct. And editing this and that and tweaking it wont be freehand, has to have at least 50% in my books.

 

[varsaigen]

Ah. ok. I will go back afterwards and sharpen it up. Thanks you guys. I will do that.

Off-topic: Wow, people seem to be posting like crazy in only 5 minutes!!! :O

Edit: Hmmm... I seem to be having trouble getting teamcolor...

 

[Hawkwing]

The Teamcolor on this model is on his back, where you have that dark black spot.

 

[varsaigen]

Ya. I know, thats from the anti-alpha channel "Corel Photo Shop Pro X2" >:\

I have been trying to find a way to fix it. So far, it is now white. I will update the pic to show you.

Edit: Ok. Pic has been updated.

 

[Hawkwing]

Looks a lot better now, the lines are much more sharp. Though the way you did it makes the quality look bad. Only in the unwrap, fortunatley. Good job.

 

[Direfury]

Personally, I really wouldn't care if this was just a recolor, it seems like it would be a great skin in any Oriental/Pandarian maps.

 

[varsaigen]

Thx †-Revellion-†! I still have to fix the team color problem. That, and I'm still brightening things up a bit where it's still gray.

 

[Hawkwing]

That's basically what I was getting at earlier. It dosen't fit the requirements but it is useful as hell, so put it somewhere else, just not here. By not here I mean in the resources section.

 

[FrIkY]

This is how my panda looks like.

 

[Insaniac69]

Wow.. This skin has gotten ALOT of replies.. The skin is ok, but I've seen better.. Somewhere, can't remember. >_<

 

[varsaigen]

Wow. There are a lot of simularities. Hmmm. I already tried without the extra fur on his back but found holes needing patching. I see that some of the spots need to be less straight on yours.

Why was it rejected?

 

[FrIkY]

it was rejected because they said it was only a retone/recolor

 

[Hawkwing]

That's exactly what a Panda is. This will get rejected, but don't worry, it is not because it's bad. Put this on the Hive, just somewhere else.

 

[FrIkY]

somewhere else, where? I once already uploaded that Panda skin, and I don't think it's smart to upload the same skin again that was rejected

 

[varsaigen]

Well, it isn't the same skin. I am going back over the fur so the 50%-75% handdrawn parts are obvious. I intend to get this accepted.

But if it fails to do so, perhaps I should put this up as a model instead?

 

[Hawkwing]

No not again. Put it in an Album or something or the Art Gallery. Just not in the resource section. Both of your skins are wonderful but unfortunatley they don't meet the requirements. It's not your fault, it's the Pandas' fault.

 

[FrIkY]

I've putted it at http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87025

 

[varsaigen]

And I worked so hard on it. I am even rehighliting parts of the fur...

 

[Hawkwing]

Dude, this is an awsome skin. I'm just trying to say, don't let it fall into the dust. Put it somewhere where it can be preserved for ages to come! More or less, put it somewhere where it can be showcased.

 

[varsaigen]

ya... Well, I have the head the way I want it now. Now just to make the rest as panda like as possible.
