THE_END: This is very very low quality freehand. There is not enough original work here. More is needed

 

[bigapple90]

[NFWar]

Hmmm... skin need shading. Emitate previus skin shading or something.
Also change screenshot. It is taken at night.

 

[X-OMG-X]

@bigapple90: Some of them is, but not this one. I can make a green version later if you want.
@NFWar: Will do. Damn i didnt see it was night

 

[Misha]

Yes, but actually could need some help with it, cuz i dont know how to do it good

 

[cHeRoL]

Hmm...the red colour looks like the blood's.
And ,aren't santa's helpers green?

 

[pippo]

I said to him too that they are green...anyway it's good i think...certainly it needs shading!

 

[Piwlady]

creepy :O

 

[Revolve]

The screenshot is REALLY creepy. You should update it, his face looks extremely fat and ugly.
Overall, you need to work more on shadings. Take a look at some tutorials found here at the Hive.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Okay i have updated the preview and also fixed a little bit shadow. Im tired and will go to bed now, then i will fix the shadows finaly.

@Piwlady:

@Revolve: Will take a look at some tutorials when editing.

edit: Lol, i just f**ked the preview more up, didnt i?

 

[Misha]

what's that red around the eyes? remove it. And make his clothes green.

The red thingy was supposed to be some kind of a glow
And i was allready thinking about to make a green version too.

 

[AIagremm]

Santa's helpwers arent so evil! And red! Those little elves are good helpers and... wha?! Santa Helper?! I HATE THEM!!! They are a parody on the awesome elves, but they are slaves to a parody of St.Nicholas, who wear stupid clothes, do stupid stuff, and make pople think that elves are nice, little, always happy munchkins!!! NOES!!!

...
...Sry. I just really dislike them. I prefer Santa's gnomes/dwarves.

 

[Panda]

You can do better on the details Com 0n!

 

[X-OMG-X]

@Alagremm: Lol!

@Army-of-Pandas: Will do a big update tomorrow, cuz i will go to bed now. I just doesnt have any ideas. If you have any ideas about what to add, i will do my best.

 

[Darkgamma]

omgwtfborg1337 thiz iz kreepie. The eyes are too red.

 

[Misha]

the glow could be done in photoshop via layer\effects\inner, or outer glow\normal mode.

experiment and make it tiny.. not like this..

I dont use photoshop, but i have a glow effect similar to the one you are talking about. But when i use it, it affects the whole image or only inside the selected area, so i will have to make a freehanded glow. Its not a big problem but takes some more time.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Needs more highlights/shading, i guess. Also, it's pretty hard to see that shirt thing, because the pants are same colour.

Yay, thanks. Will take a look at it and then update later.

edit: Okay i have read the tutorial and updated my peon skin. Please take a look at it ingame when you have time, and then say if i have improved the shadows and highlights.
edit: Updated! I hope its better now. If not, i will go shading/highlighting some more. Also, i havent renewed preview picture.

 

[NFWar]

Need a bit more shading on gloves and present bag.

Okay, the shading and highlights should finally be okay.
Also i have renewed the preview.
If there still is needed any changes, say me.

 

[NFWar]

Shadings at pants are very nice. Glove shadings looks a bit better.
But present bag? Looks like have no shadings :S
Also, people say santa helpers are green. I have never see green santa helpers, but if they want them be green, so give to them green
Paint face at green.

Haha. their skin isnt green Its their clothes. After uploading the skin a friend found a picture of some santa helpers. And their clothes were red and green -.-
Anyways i will probably make a green version of the skin, if it gets approved.

The idea is creative, I would have liked to see you attempt the peon instead, he has a beard and could have been turned into Santa; which I would tend to think is a much more useful skin. The eyes look not right, they need more work. The bag could also stand to be changed, the stitches from the original skin don't really fit it, and I would change it to be a black bag as well. The skin could overall use more shading and refinement as well. Also, it would be relatively amusing and fitting if you changed the hair color to some bright and happy color, like pink

Thanks chrome. Will work on the bag, eyes and shading. And yea it could be good with a new hair colour, but i dont think pink would look good

Edit: Okay, i have updated again. More shading and highlights, and the bag is slightly edited. I havent done some pink hair

 

[NFWar]

Looks good Better now.

 

[DJVingummi]

whats with the face?

 

[X-OMG-X]

whats with the face?

Please descripe what you mean.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Is it just me or in the screenshot the face looks fat? Could you do sumthin bout that? Other than that 4/5 and +REP

His helpers is fat. Like him

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Well i didn't know that! Then 5/5

 

[67chrome]

This could use more shading, the level of shading on the pants is ok but all of the other custom material needs more. The candy-cane band should be shaded as well. Also, I always remebered Santa's helpers wearing green, but meh. Add shading+highlights and touch up the skin a bit, and that should do it
