Satyr Legion Enforcer

These Satyrs are in direct contact with the generals of the Burning Legion. They control small raid groups of lower Satyrs to bring out the Legion's will...

Satyr's always had that Nature+Demonic feel which made them a unique race in the world of fantasy copies (Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dragons, etc.)...

The way you have approached this model (by using a Demon Skin as the base) is clever. Alone, without great care to modification (so as t' not look like a Demon, you know) It'd have come out looking pretty half-ass'ed... but the way you left this Eredar model, and only changed the detail of the clothes, which were pretty "I lord over you, I'm a demon-- fear me!!"-ish to fit the role of a Satyr, is fantastic.

As an example, The crevices on the face give off the impression of "Arcane corruption", and instead of leaving this as is, you created a sort of "Demon-Saytr", which is perfect.

(Skipping the the tad-oversized fists), the robe (near abdomen) and the cape on his back should be in my opinion:
- Removed
- Changed to be something like what you would see on a tiger's back (Mane, I believe they call it)
- The Tail is fine, but it could use a touch of "Demonic-ness" on the very tip, possibly, since you went with this theme on the eyes, cape, robe, and leggings

To summarize: there are many Saytr skins out there, and to create a map which they would blend with is difficult I'd say, since most don't blend with each other.

As a stand-alone boss in an ORPG, or "Hero" (or Summon-able) in an AoS, this could fit.

You know, just from looking at it, totally one of my favorite skins of yours. I'm seriously digging this, End. <3

This, I like.

just a thought, that cape would look super-awesome if you made it in the same style as the loincloth

You don't see many Satyr skins. None of this quality anyway. Great job, END.

I totally agree with AR on this one, I was thinking it too when I first saw it.

Fur still doesn't look like fur, it doesn't match with the in game Satyrs at all in that in game screenshot. The fur still looks wrong, like I had told you many moons ago on the Hive. I've already gone into slight detail before so I won't bother doing it again.

The fur doesn't look good, almost like cloth though I also get a "Super Goku 4" feeling from the chest. The rest is nice.

In-game, even when zoomed in, I can't see the fur as any glaring fault of the texture. It could use to be a bit more jagged and fur-like, as you can see in the provided screenshot the other Satyr textures have. That and the cape thing AR mentioned are the only things I'd recommend personally.

Mc !
I believe that it won't look satyrish without the long horns but of course that's not your fault. Just something, the fur looks like feathers to me, and you could change a bit the chest so it doesn't look like some kind of coat but actually chest fur-

The fur does look a little odd. I'm guessing you might have taken a peek at my old satyr malph guy, on wich the hair looks awkward in a comparable way.

Anyway there are some things that i dont like about this, even though i'd approve it as it is; its an awesome idea and you pulled it off quite good enough. But here it goes:
  • I think he'd look better with his skin just a tad darker.
  • I'd like to see his shoulderpads as actual bone, not bronzed skulls.
  • I'd like to see the cape mantle thing around his head and the cape in the same style as the loincloth.

I think it'd just make it look quite a lot more accurate as a satyr.

I'll move this to WIP skins then so you can make a fresh thread for the updated submission.
