lich looks nice, but its really hard to see the doom guard,
its rather blurry in the picture you have provided.

Be nice.
Moved to WIP textures, since this is not quite up to the quality standards for the gallery.

It looks nice wrapped. Can you show the unwrap?

weeelll... the lich cape is cnp from the WoW lich cape, the DoomGuard's head is cnp from the WoW doomguard's head (they're both very similar textures, so it works) and the rest of the doomguard appears to be recolours of the regular doomguard.

My humblest apologies if i'm mistaken, but thats what jumps out at me.

Not that cnp is necessarily a bad thing, in some cases it can work quite well.

How about you show the actual skin files so we can see them?

Dusk, it IS CnP and recolour.

I know, don't figure me blind, but your post was deleted because of the attitude with which you posted, as was END's.

I think it could use some more freehanding, personally. In addition, I think you should consider how it will look in-game and be realistic! If you really think this is good enough, then maybe you should look at the detail seen in a lot of Blizzard skins. You'll notice that this is a bit blurry and lacks refinement and color theme among other things.

I trust you'll only get better the more you try, though, but I can't recommend enough the value of freehand over CnP/recoloring.

hrm, just checked it against the WoW skin, the face is identical, but it has been edited a little.. i'd say the wings are from the pitlord and the rest is recoloured doomguard. Not that it looks bad or anything, i'm just not sure how it goes with this site's policy on cnp and WoW stuff.

CnP is generally frowned upon by any community, though it's certainly not against the rules. (At least considering that this isn't a contest or whatever) And WoW exports are against the rules, though this isn't exported whatsoever, so I don't see how any confusion could exist therein.

The quality is more of a problem than the methods used. CnP and recoloring can look good in remote cases where the user uses them properly and in small amounts, but realistically most users that abuse CnP/recolor end up making lower quality textures as a result. It is for that reason we recommend strongly against it; learn to draw, not to copy. :)

I'm unsure what that was supposed to tell me. I mean, I know it looks kind of wretched, but that's a CnP'd WoW texture on a WC3 model as far as I can tell.
