Moderator's Review:

coolio, although you should do something about that second shield (belongs to hunched skeleton for death anim?) it would feel odd if the dude switches shields on death
and lastly, hide one of the hammers that still shows on the end of the death anim

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Pretty good, but the death anim needs modification.

 

[Xonok]

I think the shield and hammer are a bit too light. For the shield you could use some undead texture, while for the hammer you could use that black orc hammer.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Vikings didn't have horns but it's ok
You should use Skeletal Orc's bottom instead of Warrior's.Better quality and looks better.

 

[Mr. Bin]

Thanks, I'll upload a fixed version right away!

It's called playing to stereotypes. Scots aren't always drunk... oh wait the Dwarves.

A really good model but like the others said a better texture for the shield and hammer would make him fit in more with an undead temple or ancient ruin.

 

[Mr. Bin]

Did some fix there, with the hammer and the shield.

 

[Xonok]

Did some fix there, with the hammer and the shield.

Screenshot is still the same though.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Looks better, but i'd suggest u to replace the marine shoulder with a more ''barbaric'' one.

 

[Mr. Bin]

Changed the marine shoulder to some faceless guy armor.

 

[Kaizer]

pretty simple but useful;
the team-colored shoulderpad is still there when death animation occurs, try Re-Mapping the shield to remove that black thingy, shield goes in him when Stand Victory

used the "view in 3D" to see the model

 

[Mr. Bin]

Added horns to the shield, fixed death.

 

[Misha]

something just doesn't fit to the guy.. is there any thing like hair getting preserved-ish on a such undead? y'know like.. barely there

 

[Kaizer]

now the shield horns have the problem in the death animation.

how about adding a lower armor?

 

[G0L3M]

That´s badass man! It would be awesome to change skull into orc skeloton!

 

[Misha]

yeah.. i really think he should have two viking 'braids', but made of some.. half-decayed 'hair'

 

[Mr. Bin]

Did some bottom armor, added hammer and helmet in death animation.
(Yeah, i know i'm awsome)

 

[Kaizer]

now that I think about it, wouldn't an axe be more appropriate for a Viking?

 

[Mr. Bin]

There's allready an axe guy in the vanilla Warcraft 3.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

You should really update the screenshot, because it looks much better now.
The birth anim doesn't look right...at first hammer is on ground and suddenly in his hand.Can you make it that way so he pulls it from his back?
good example:check the death anim

half-decayed 'hair'

Skeleton's skin contains some hair texture
it could be done with some verticles, faces 'n stuff

 

[Mr. Bin]

Added hair and fixed birth anim.

 

[Misha]

hmm.. there's some hair and a set of horns floating in the air when the skeleton dies, (probably from other skeleton mesh) disappearing soon.. but not soon enough.. could you make them disappear right as the anim starts? aka first frame
same thing with one of the hammers in birth anim, appears on the first frame but is then hidden..

also, you should change model's name and internal name to 'viking skeleton' or so..

and lastly, the background blinks a bit in some portrait animations

 

[Mr. Bin]

The hammer doesn't blink in mdlvis... I'll see what i can do)

 

[Mr. Bin]

Fixed the birth hammer problem, changed the name.

 

[takakenji]

i think the unbroken armor (pink faceless one) would be better than the faceless one armor

 

[Mr. Bin]

I just wanna keep that undead dark armor you know... (btw, fixed death animation)

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Nice hair.You should really remove the hair on the forehead...1.looks bad;2.frontal hair falls off first after death
Maybe you should make it longer too

 

[Mr. Bin]

As requested, made the hair longer and removed it, from the forhead. (I feel like THE best modeler ever!)

 

[stonneash]

Nice Model, Great Animations, 5\5

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

Great model 5/5 +rep

 

[vlekje5]

Original, and quite usefull,

+rep cause its viking and vikings just are awsome!

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Much better!
