what do You think?

[warhog]

well this is my first skin in "tha business" so please tell me what you think and how it can be improved

its not finished at this very moment but im onto it..

not bad, practice makes perfect.
also remember that skin is not merely shaded from light to dark. Midtones are very saturate with skin and there's a "warmth" factor that gives it life.. with skin on a human usually a red hint on/around the cheeks looks good. highlights are very subtle with colors like purple, red, and yellow hidden in the highlights.

thx i'll try to experiment with the shading as you said!

I would try making the beard look less "sculpted" if you know what I mean. Right now it looks like a beard on a garden gnome, try making it finer so that it looks more realistic. All in all good job though, keep it up man.

You should also add a preview of the skin wrapped around the unit!
This would help a lot on commenting!

said and done. still no idea how to fix the hands so they look good :/

 

[M0rbid]

There is not much you can do about the hand, except from adding proper shading, but personally I would try to give him gloves instead, it would fit the santa idea you're aiming for and would fit the model better, since I guess the standard model has gloves on its skin, too.

But you really need an idea for those horns. Since I guess it's teamcolour part, you cannot alpha them out and I fear, even if you could you would get strange looking wholes in your model.

I suggest you to change it into part of his beard.
How to do that ?
I guess you should considerate taking a look at olofmoleman's tuskarr skin: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90527

Apart from that it looks really nice for a first skin. Maybe some more folds on his clothes and a red nose, like he went through a could winter night, would look nice, too

EDIT: Taking a second look, I suggest you to use some stronger black shading at some parts with opacity of 30 - 50 % for example at the buckles of the shoes and on the wooden stuff, and the plant at it!
Keep it up!

[warhog]

maybe u seen my hippgryph skin and maybe not but i still need some opinions on the wings.
the black/red feathers is just something i did by accident and wont keep xD but concentrate on the brown ones to the right are they too undefined, unrealistic or fine?

Dent, might this be because it's released by warhog in the skin section as well?
