Hey, nice texture. I'll just go ahead and tell you - you shouldn't really put the "Please Give credit to Dentothor and please do not redistribute or modify without my permission.", or at least the "do not redistribute or modify without my permission" part from your description. I doubt anyone's stupid enough to do something like redistribute a file or not give credits here in WC3C.

deolrin, as long as it's a good point for registered users, remember that resources can be downloaded even by visitors, so "Better safe then sorry".

The skin seems nice, but the image you posted is quite *funky* and confusing, so I don't know...
Also you should post an ingame screen too, sorry but these are the rules.

I do like the legs and the feathers of the neck. You should change the draenei skin,but the rest of the texture is quite acceptable

The face looks kinda funny right now. I would remove a bit of the upper lip and mess around with both the eyebrows and/or the eyes. The rest is really cool.

And yeah, it´s missing the ingame screenshot.

I do it too actually. It´s like peppers said: "Better safe then sorry", there are a lot of assholes out there.

You're gonna have hell trying to make the face on that model look in any way normal, it's just naturally all stretched and beak-y. The easiest way around it is to make it look intentional, like giving her a mask or something. Just a thought.

Looks pretty cool all up, the legs might be a bit busy though, which could get lost ingame.

It does look really stretched, but I still think it could be a bit better. The eyes could have a bit more definition, and the eyebrows a bit lower. Dunno, right now it gives that wtf look that looks a bit hillarious.
I´ll make a quick test in BP to see if it´s possible to fix it, maybe it IS as hard as you say...

EDIT: I made a quick paint over in the skin and in my opinion it turned out really good. The eyebrows are like 1 pixel wide, but they still look good. so the face can be done better. I´m not going to post the screenshot without Dentothor´s permission tho, that´d be rude :P

I had to make sure :P

Ok, this is what I managed to do:
Zoom (requires log in)
I think the border of the eyes COULD be darkened a bit more, it would need an ingame test to check that, but the general idea is there :P. I did pretty much what I suggested, reduced the upper lip and fixed the eyes and eyebrows. Hope this is helpful in some way.

It's a draenei,she should have the things a draenei has.(the tentacles and that stuff)
Watch archimonde's face,to see what I'm saying. If you leave the head like that it's a waste,because the body is very good.

nirvana i like what you dud with the eyes but the eybrows i dont really like. ill definatley do what you did with the eyelid but id kinda like to leave the brows unchanged, and if nessiccary, darken them a bit. and i think you can actually get the ete edges a little darker. so i will try fixing that up today.

Sure, what I did was just an idea.

I would recommend you change the eyebrows at least a little tho, right now they make her look like she is surprised or something instead of looking angry (I´m guessing this is what you tried to do)

I really... Don't like this. It isn't passable as a Draenai at all, really, it just doesn't fit the bill. Just making something blue doesn't make it look like a draenai any more than it does a random blue person.

All of the detail gets lost in-game and the face has issues; meanwhile there just isn't any creativity in the texture. It's a blue person with assorted doodads all over it, that's it. Nirv's fix, albeit blurry as hell for some reason, is an improvement to the face. Eyebrows that wrap like you currently have them look ridiculous.

Those are my thoughts. I can move this to the WIP forum for texture development if you'd like more time to work on it.

The skin does stretch a bit in the face, maybe that´s the reason of the blurryness. You don´t notice it from a considerable distance anyway.
But yeah, the body definitely needs a lot more simplification. You can see for yourself that everything gets washed away in the ingame screenshot. I can barely recognize what is going on in there.
And Dusk, the fact that the skin doesn´t look like a draenei is not necessarily a bad thing, it can always be used for something else. The name is the least of the problems.

I think that one of the biggest problems here is that the cape seems to get no attention, and the cape is the most visible and biggest part in the Assassin model. Lots of details are lost in-game simply because you can hardly see anything below her cape.
