Kimberly: Hi Gar, this skin needs some improvement....The shading is rather weak and blurry... You might want to define some areas abit more solidly and sharp. Just go over it abit more in a slower and steady pace with a less blurry/soft brush and refine it more. Atm is abit too monotone and dark. I also think its needs more teamcolour. As for now it will be rejected until updated, sorry.

Dentothor: ok this is definatley a whole lot better. But the shading needs to be more defined on the chest and on the lower body. also, dont have that colour of hair. it confuses the Team colour of the unit. Which brings me to another point... this needs a lot more team colour, rather than what you have already. but other than that, its looking better. it just needs a bit more.

PM SENT/EDIT2 by kim:
Hi Gar, good with the updates. Sorry for the slow reply, family issues going on ...

I do think its abit too dark still, and needs more TC like the legs. This is require alpha to add teamcolour. Refinement is still needed, However... when i have time I will redraw over some parts of the skin to show you the suggestions I have offered may conclude to for me to approve.You however have every right to ask the other skin mods for help and suggestions

Cheers, sorry for the delay.

Kim: Perm rejected due to no update.

It looks pretty interesting :3 Maybe some color would be good somewhere, idk lol

 

[Bernkastel]

Here's a H-res version View attachment 83439

 

[Etzer]

A ninja dryad?
It looks nice, don't get me wrong, but it needs highlights!

 

[Soul Theft]

looks good but it definitely needs highlights

 

[Dionesiist]

The layout/idea is appealing, but you'll need to work on the execution.

 

[jepperht99]

How to use a skin plzz help me

 

[Midnighters]

/facepalm at comment above....


Anyway, its a good idea, but needs a lot of highlights, and some shadings, and mayube add some color so it isn't so monotonous.

 

[Bernkastel]

Thanks for comments!
I'll see about improvements tomorrow, cause today i dont have time for it. Also if anyone has color suggestions i'd gladly take them.
And about using the skin, check http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/importing-models-skins-icons-160555/ It should be clear enough

 

[Hawk]

Ninja Warrior xD The skin will have to need lots of work like adding more details

 

[L_Lawliet]

pleasing skin

 

[Bernkastel]

Updated something :I

 

[terradont]

The best skin for dryads I've seen concept-wise, I absolutely love it. I'd say put a little more effort and detail to the body, because it hinders the awesomeness of the face.

 

[Bernkastel]

I'm glad you like it, i'm working to improve it all the time, so it will get more details when i update

 

[Deolrin]

It's nice, looks even better with the new update, but still very monotonous. Did you consider adding red, glowing eyes, or perhaps red hair?

 

[Bernkastel]

I've got to take a look at what it looks like with those

Edit: Ok. Whaddya guys think if the hair would be red, in my opinion it's awesome atleast

The Picture

 

[Misha]

boobs need rework..

 

[Bernkastel]

I'll see about the boobies Misha

 

[PROXY]

I totally love the version above and I overall <B the face

 

[Bernkastel]

Awkey, updated it a bit

Edit:
Darn.. I just noticed that dryad uses different skin in TFT than RoC it was units\NightElf\Dryad\Dryad.blp, Sorry if that has caused you problems :S It has been fixed now!

 

[Deolrin]

Awesome, looks much less monotonous now. But, please do something with the black on her face. It's just... Black. Add some highlights to at least indicate it's a specific material. At the moment it's just a block of color. I don't even know if you wanted it to be metal, skin, leather or cloth(or something else). I'm talking about the bottom part of the face here. Also, perhaps a tiny red glowing dot for eyes?

 

[Bernkastel]

The face wrap makes the eyes odd, so i had problems with that, and in the beginning i planned to put some kind of metal part on her jaw but i couldnt invent anything, so it's like abyss or something, i'll see about it

Edit:
Oh srsly.. But Textures\Dryad.blp is being used by the portrait.. Blizz wants to piss me off i see

Lol another epic portrait fail by blizzard feels good to see i ain't the only one it pisses off lol.

You might wanna let the face's white skin dive a little more into the abyss, so that abyss is more obvious, imho.

 

[Bernkastel]

Thanks, and about the face, it's like abyss atleast atm.. Cause i dont know what to put there, and i'd gladly take suggestions!

 

[Misha]

make the boobies appear round along with what's coverin' them :3

 

[Deolrin]

A metal plate or a (red) cloth cover could always work.

 

[Bernkastel]

Updated a bit once again

 

[Dj0z]

Now that is a scary face o.o i wouldn't want to meet that in a very dark, filthy forest filled with decaying corpses :O

 

[Bernkastel]

You'll meet it, rightttt there

 

[Piwlady]

Now it's awsum, don't add any kind of eyes there.

 

[Bernkastel]

I wont add eyes bbbecauusee of the ridiculous model wrap of the face :I

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Now it's awsum, don't add any kind of eyes there.

I agree, I like the plain blackness of the eyes right now.

 

[terradont]

^
Agreed. That's one of the main points that make it stand out.

 

[Shido]

That's cute Bern but you are making in visitor harder to view your work because of your import path, c'mon now put it back, you are goin to be fine.

 

[Footman16]

This isn't Useful/Simple in my eyes, there's a lot of good quality here. A lot of previous criticisms in the other reviews still apply but overall this is a good looking texture with a cool premise and some really good execution, in the hair and runes and face. Set to Recommended.
