I will post the original skin with it, I dun like red trim but I will make more contrast between the different yellow parts. I think he looks like a gangster wrapped ><, but I think you will find that its quite a bit more in most areas then a simple recolor. Though when you think about it, arent all skins basically a freehand-recolor of some sort :p

Yeah, looks like a recolor.

Myself I think recolors and CnP's are fine, if done right...
 
Mmmmmk

Well, I decided to add some red and stuff afterall, and yeah, recolors are wut make skins different, like your ocean seer, it has complex patterns and stuff in it, which are noticable and add that extra punch, but the biggest part of it is still the recoloring of skin and robe, thats wut makes it so different. The nifty texturing just makes it better eye-candy, by the way, how do u make custom textures in photoshop? When i click make new texture I get some weird error, cant remember exactly what it said, but all in all it just wont let me make a texture. Anyways, here is the latest update of my skin, need new critique and such.

Ummmmmm, what if others think it is cool too? Maybe I submit him as pimpin-biz instead of techpriest? Unfortunately I cant tell you I think your ocean seer is lame, cuz I already pm'd you saying it is awesome :( Even if this guy never gets accepted into skin section cuz ur racists against wombats :( I know he looks likes a friggin gangsta and I will use him in one of my maps. He looks like the friggin bling-lord.

Use correct English please. And it is way to blurry. It looks like you are just adding random things onto it. And no, not all skins are complex recolors. Every good skin is made by hand (or CnP in some places) and looks different from the original skin.

Its not at all way I ment to add red....I think it made it look worse, sorry...:(
 
Ok ummmmm, w/e, obviously my idea to make medivh look like hes wearing a pimp suit sucks @$$ so im workin on a new skin for bloodmage, but there are a few things I need to know how to do first, I have posted those in a new thread in the general texturing area of the forums, just hit the back button from WIP forms, name of thread is A Few Quick Questions, if I could get those answered I could probably turn in some better work that everyone doesnt hate. PLZ answer those questions and I might be able to show some good work.

No no sir, I did no recoloring on that skin. I did something called FREEHAND
Where you draw over the skin to make it look TOTALLY DIFFERANT. Which means no patterns like the original, no cape folds like the original, and such.
You seem to be confusing good skinning=freehand
With crap=recolor
