Hi, welcome to Wc3c!

I'll say this straight up, this skin will need a fair bit of work. There are several
problem areas that need addressing:

1. There is far too much CnP (copy and paste) and not enough freehand.

You can overcome this by doing a lot more freehand texturing.

2. Much of the texture is blurry and undefined, it will need cleaning up by
increasing the contrast and sharpness of the texture. By that I don't mean
rely solely on the Sharpen and Brightness/Contrast filters, but rather do more
freehand, and use those (and only those) filters as support.

3. Overall the texture is too dark in places and the dark colours that have
been drawn over the top just make the texture seem muddy.

So yeah, those are the areas that need fixing up. I'd recommend posting in
the WIP Skins/Textures thread for getting advice and critique on your skins.

We could move this topic there so that he can get some more feedback on it. Feedback really isn't the purpose of the submission forum. :)
