My first 2 skins!!!! look

Well, these are my first 2 skins, the blade master 1 was just for messing around, the Hellscream 1 is supposed to resemble Lurtz from LOTR, comments and critics welcome!

what? where are they?

The green 1 WAS a blade master, is now just my first skin, the red 1 WAS Grom Hellscream, is now supposed to look like lurtz from, lotr (u know the commanding urak-hai)

o ok now i see them. I like the top one but the bottom one doesnt look much different then normal hellscream. and whats with hell screams axe? Too much sharpening :ggani:

Yeah, i know but for Hellscream i couldnt do much except darken his skin a bit, i maybe even will darken more, also can i replace his axe with a sword? (without modelling cua i dont hav the cash to buy the modelling stuff)

recolors! and filters! and sharpens! bah!

yeah, i know that most first skins are recolors :bgrun:

Recolours are a good way to get into skinning. Try your hand at copy 'n paste, or even better, the real thing, soon.

NEVER use filters in skins. They get REAL old REAL fast.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and recolouring is a good first step. Now go skin for real.

What do you mean? i didn't filter... and if i didi it wasnt on purpose... and what do you mean start skinning for real?

u cant filter somthing accidently...... filter means Effect... somthin like that

Oh, yeah i did SOME effects i used sharpen on the weapons, (obvious) and no offense but i dont really care if pplz dun like sharpen its probably one of my fav. effects so i shall continue to use it. Also what did he mean when he said start to really skin now? i cant do much more except mess with channels (not ready fpr that yet) and i dont have the money to buy the modelling equip..... so if ne1 has spare models i can skin with.... =) ill try it out!

With skinning for real, i mean making a new texture for the model, instead of editing the existing one.

Oh, you mean like completely deleting 1, (or erasing) and starting over.... ok ill try it but there is 2 problems, ONE: if i did that (take teh blade master model for example) i wouldnt know where the head goes, where the sword is, where the body is etc. TWO: i cant draw worth a damn until then here is my newest skin (which u all probly wont likem, probably too much sharpening for u) it is called the Warlock Hunter (needs a better name too) but plz give comments/critics on it!!!!

Can i get any tips on modellign too plz? i can make betetr skins that way.
