After a Failure...

After my last excuse for a skin, i decided to change from making stuff that would look bad in Warcraft 2,see wierd style post, to trying to make something slightly better. Again i didn't spend much time on this but i did edit quite a few parts. Be as brutal as you want :D :nono: heres the pic

Looks good. Some things you could change: smoothing it a bit, shading it, and dodging in the metal parts so they look like shining.

Thx for comments , always welcome. I agree it needs more shading and smoothing etc... One thing about making it so it looks shining - my idea is that this peasant has become a militia, and slamed whatever decent blade armour he has together. That means i think the metal should be duller , but i agree is a bit dark. Problem is if i lighten it up too much that'll bring back the original kind of design. Meaning it would just look a bit like simply recoloured armour(i know right now it isn't so much better but its something.) Feel free to post more advice , detail in it is much apriciated. Any advice i could get of anyone would help me . i wanna get better at skinning, but it takes a while as i can see. ANY COMMENT , BAD OR GOOD . I do not mind


thx

You don't need to lighten the entire armor, just make some parts very bright, like light coming on it. You can keep it dark but shining, take a look at some blizzard skins.

most of the best skinners have left, and those who are still here prefer to yell at noobs who recolour rather than comment on ok skins...(this not true for everyone), but kde is a good skinner n e way... (and what about me! I'm not that bad! :ggani:

i think you should change the face a little more, and put the diamond pattern on his legs.
