The updates makes this skin look good enough to get an approval.

 

[StaberFire]

More shadows.

Many, many more shadows.

 

[Dentothor]

how so? and where do you think it needs to be?

 

[-Berz-]

Needs more shading.

And make those lines darker

Make more shading there, where one layer of steel cowers the other.

~Berz

 

[Dentothor]

ah. ok ill get to that then

 

[AIagremm]

Dentothor, how did you success in understanding skinning and triggering?
I cant understand modellin' or triggerin'(but I really want to)

By the way, the skin really does need more shadow, but otherwise the skin is great.
Burning robot! lol
5/5, for not being a CnP.

 

[Dentothor]

because i am a map maker and an icon artist. i know nothing of models though

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The concept is good, but the metal parts have a need of more highlights and contrasts.

 

[Kwah]

And that mouth line is just plain fugly.

Take a look at some of the approved Mechanical skins here, and how Blizzard does their metal.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I belive there are some metal tutorials in the 2D Art Tutorials section.

 

[Dentothor]

updated.

EDIT:

I belive there are some metal tutorials in the 2D Art Tutorials section.

i used Mr. Goblin's Tutorial

I've found most metallic elements of a skin need to have a lot of contrast, with areas moving from pure black to pure white. If you are using Photoshop their is a function called curves that can accomplish this in no time, other than that you will have to manually add shading and highlights. But seriously, make the metal go from black to white

 

[I3lackAce]

Hot stuff

 

[-Berz-]

Listen what chrome says

 

[Beronin]

nothing else has to be said

 

[Misha]

good but not enough.
you need more shading and higlights, and, as DVO pointed, ya could take a look at metal tutorials x3

also.. the skin is kinda bland, you could put some green bulbs or any light, like robots have.

Rating: 3.46/5 cool

~Misha~

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Chrome is AWESOMENESS itself at skinning, so heed his words^^

 

[Dentothor]

ok updated. added major highlights and i think it looks a lot better

 

[Misha]

dark, add more dark. right now it looks as some plastic

 

[Dentothor]

:S it was too dark at first and doing chromes advice i put the highlights to white. and now i have to make it darker?

 

[PsychoNerdial]

He means that you should contrast the white with black

 

[Dentothor]

:l ok ill see what i can do

 

[-Berz-]

Here, a fast example ^^

You can go with even more breaking black/white

 

[Misha]

somehow the texture and shine on the shoulders doesn't fit :/

 

[Dentothor]

i noticed... hrmmm ill flip it. just gimme a sec.

UPDATED

 

[-Berz-]

Yeah that's more like it!

 

[PsychoNerdial]

This skin is becoming very nice^^

 

[DrPepper1]

I have no idea how you make a skin, but is it possible to make the flames red?
(probably not)

Anyway.. I'd give it at 3.5/5

 

[Dentothor]

i could but then it would be a model. and i dont really know how to attach a skin to a model using the magos. but i can easily make the flame red if i wanted to

and i made a skin using GIMP... you just take the piture out of the MPQ and you paint it up and make it look spiffy

 

[Misha]

you're goin' in the right direction, it just needs more details and propper shading angles C:

 

[Dentothor]

yeah im gonna add some wires and buttons.
and if it ends up looking good, ill update it

 

[Narandza]

LoLz mega small skin!

 

[Misha]

Yes, it looks good enough to be aproved :/

 

[Dentothor]

Yes, it looks good enough to be aproved :/

whats that supposed to mean?

 

[Kwah]

It means it looks okay, but not wtfbbqawesome.

 

[Misha]

indeed.

 

[Joss]

I especially love the face. 4/5

 

[Maedas]

More shadows.

Many, many more shadows.

The whole thing is on fire, how on earth are you supposed to find shadows on such a thing?

Nah but in the end I agree, although I'd add both light/dark, dunno if that will work with the animations though.

 

[Dentothor]

this is a skin. not a model. the animations arent affected. and that problem was fixed a long time ago

 

[Misha]

cool screenshot

 

[Dentothor]

yeah tnx! i thought it looked better than the first

 

[Pakmand]

try pm this to the creators of battle tanks would be great for the infernel robot

 

[Xarwin]

The updates makes this skin look good enough to get an approval.

I lollified at this comment.
The skin LOOKS GOOD, not GOOD ENOUGH.
This skin is very useful.

 

[War_Golum]

[Screamernail]
