67chrome: WC3 models are small enough that in-game shading doesn't go a long way to make them look 3D, you have to accomplish the feel through adding shading and highlights on the skin wrapped onto it. As this has no shading, you really need to work on adding some XD. In all it's not a bad start, but this skin is so underdeveloped I'm going to have to reject it.

I'd strongly recommend you check out the 2D art tutorials on this site (they cover techniques for creating skins and icons, and are listed under the tutorials section on the top of the page). They do a pretty good job at pointing out the free tools available to you to skin and how to use them (I'd guess you used MS Paint to make this, which is a painfully limited art program. GIMP is free and allows you to create skins and icons at the same level of many of the in-game resources from WC3).

For now you seem to have a lot of room to improve, I'd recommend on getting feedback in the 2D art forums for your work for now as well until you get more comfortable using tools like GIMP and WC3 Viewer.

Sorry. I'm a noob.... I painted it.

At least you got the point in how textures work, but a texture without shadings or better quality would never be accepted in any where.

Its kinda uhhm, odd for a warcraft 3 map, lacks of shading, etc etc. But what can you expect on paint right? Anyway its a good try specially that you used paint, try to get photoshop or GIMP <- Its free!

I didn't know that painting was bad...

Anyways, thank you for appreciating my work.

I used irfan view. Any good way to add shadings?

EDIT: How is the camo uniform? Does it look good?
