This skin kicks major ass. Great work, Void.

Hawkwing:
The quality of this is spectacular, you didn't really capture the root effect but it still looks amazing and is definitely worthy of approval.

 

[Just_Spectating]

haha thats sweet 5/5.

 

[Grog50]

First real skin?!? this is amazing! 4/5 because it could still be a bit more colorful

 

[~Void~]

The shitty image quality of the preview kills the saturation a bit. It looks better ingame

 

[donut3.5]

Blah, the only thing that skeeves me here is the symmetry on the root-beard, but that's nothing you can fix.
Very well done.
--donut3.5--

 

[Hawkwing]

4/5 - The team colour isn't very visible in-game, the highlights of the leaves on the shoulders could have been a bit brighter.

 

[~Void~]

Hm, if it needs more team color, should I update it to make the eyes team colored instead of just green? Not exactly sure how to do that, though.

 

[Just_Spectating]

another thing is that it still looks like a faceless one.
just made with roots.

you could of been more creative with the head.
(like one eyeball in the middle)

 

[~Void~]

I could, but I like 2 eyes. Maybe I would do that if I made a cyclops (I'm totally doing that next, come to think of it...)

 

[Zeverens]

Omg, Omg, OMG! 5/5

 

[Mr.Goblin]

dude nice skin... lol because of my wolf people will start to make Roots elemental! witch each model.. (joke)

Nicely made.. good job ^^ 8/10

 

[~Void~]

I haven't even seen your wolf yet, I don't think :\

 

[StaberFire]

Pure win, 4/5.

The only thing I don't absolutely, positively, and a bit sexually love is the abruptness of which the roots and leaves meet.

Just seems like they could have been a little bit more blended, that's all.

Nice work overall, I love you for this.

 

[SILLYbear]

i will use this for a bog creature!

 

[Misha]

Nothing more than AWESOME

 

[Dumblor]

5/5. Good

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Looks great! Like somebody said, just add some team color!

 

[FrIkY]

This is amazing ~Void~! Your first real skin, turns out as great as this!? This is pure win, it could be grand if this could be used for the Modeling Competition #10! (yes, I know this is a skin, not a model) It could be even better if you make mace made of wood, not metal, but it's fine

5/5 - grand job ~Void~!

 

[Oziris]

Ownig! 5/5

 

[terradont]

Nice! I would give you a 5/5 if you did something with the mace, maybe make it a twig or something?

4/5 now becuz of unfitting mace =P

 

[~Void~]

I would but I can't alpha out bits of the mace. I tried wood but it looked like shit

 

[Mr.100]

Awsome Void So now your a great Skinner AND a Great Terrainer

 

[NerdElf]

its a good model but u should rename it,becauseelementals dont look like this, and this skin looks like a facelles one made from a tree. Its very good anyway i give u 4,999999999/5

 

[terradont]

I would but I can't alpha out bits of the mace. I tried wood but it looked like shit

What about covering it in roots then? too monotone?

 

[ShrEad-ER]

dam this is nice ^^
im sorry but i cant rate
if i just could skin :/

 

[Vercas]

You must work at the filesize...

 

[HappyTauren]

You must learn how to compress... -.-

 

[Vercas]

Maybe you are right... how to compress? XD

 

[~Void~]

You must learn how to compress... -.-

Indeed I must. I don't know how, and don't see any tutorials either. Tell me how and I will update, instead of making comments like above.

I tried and it looked ugly as fuck

 

[HappyTauren]

I am not talking to you void, you are NOT supposed to compress texture when uploading, but users that are going to import, should compress blp files.

 

[M_Vegeta]

Man Its probly took u lot time great work man!! i wish poeple could do sweet dbz skin like this ^^

 

[~Void~]

I am not talking to you void, you are NOT supposed to compress texture when uploading, but users that are going to import, should compress blp files.

Ah, I see. I'm still confused... what do you mean by compression? Like optimizing your map, or is it specific for BLPs? 0.o

 

[HappyTauren]

Go to options in magos, set quality preference, then open the image in magos, go to texture manager, and then export as blp, it will set texture quality to one you specified.

 

[Vercas]

Hmmmm. i think i will start making skins too >

 

[Hawkwing]

Well don't expect to be able to do something like this immediately.

 

[Vercas]

Of course...
My way to do skins is : print the images, then modify it with anything, then scan, take the image, save in JPG, convert to BLP and ready

My printer doesn't works

 

[Hawkwing]

JPG is not good. You'll need to TGA, or any other file-type with Alpha Channels.

 

[~Void~]

JPG is not good. You'll need to TGA, or any other file-type with Alpha Channels.

And without distortion. Also, drawing skins on paper is perhaps not the best idea...

 

[Hawkwing]

Not at all. It's very hard to work with and the result doesn't look good with the Blizz-Style.

 

[Vercas]

But, i can't open TGA with paint or other programs excepting WAR3Viewer, please give me a TGA editor

 

[terradont]

you were planning to use paint to skin? lol

Photoshop is good, but not free.

 

[~Void~]

Photoshop IS very good, but I think gimp will do if you have it as well. Especially seeing as the only tools you should need are transparent brushes, eraser and the sharpen filter occasionally.

 

[Devine]

pls make more skins. kthx.
5/5

 

[Infrisios]

Wow, cool!
5/5, and well-earned.

 

[Snigel]

Realy creative

 

[~Void~]

If only I could be creative when terraining :\

 

[Vercas]

I am downloading gimp... can i use gimp to skin?
Thanks ~Void~ cause you asked me about gimp
You used gimp for this skin?

 

[~Void~]

You can use gimp. I used photoshop, but all the tools I used can be found in gimp, so there shouldn't really be much difference

 

[Vercas]

GIMP is a nice tool but it's so complicated
