Vestras	This is just a skin I created, I'm not the best at art or skinning, but please, don't be modest. I drawed everything, and used only 1 effect. Took me some time. :P

Kyrbi0	Looks pretty. I like the color blue. I'd suggest slapping it on the Crypt Lord model and taking a screenshot (or Magos-shot) of that, too.

I was actually thinking that I would want to finish it completely before taking an ingame screenshot.

erwtenpeller	You might want to consider actually redoing some parts reather then just changing the color...

RenegadeMushroom	That's pretty sweet - how about changing the wings to something a bit frosty/fiercer?

Uhm, I might be wrong, but I kinda think you have no idea what a recolor is...

AnemicRoyalty	Nirv posted OMG. Anyway, Recolour: changing the colour of an existing texture using either the Hue/Saturation filter or the 'Color' layer blending mode. Recolouring is bad because you're not doing the actual texturing yourself.

Rising_Dusk	And it looks of very poor quality, to boot. So long as a good portion of the texture is freehand and a small portion is recolor, it's okay. But it is unacceptable for a texture to have too much that it doesn't appear changed at all. This texture of yours is quite obviously recolored.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Even though I don't do skinning... I would NEVER post my unwrap... I'd just post screenshots...

NiRVaNa_87	Well, showing the unwrap is up to person posting it. I think they should ALWAYS include a posed screenshot though. No one really gives a shit how it looks in the uvw if it looks like crap on the model.
