First of all, get a screen shot so we know what the skin looks like. Most people are lazy, and they won't convert your file to a BLP and view it. Upload a screen shot for us.

Second, this should be in the Gallery. Post all your skins there.

Make it a JPG or GIF (In photoshop, PSP) and crop, blizzard makes screenshots TGA's which are large, and cannot be viewed in a browser either.

its all gold??? try making it with more colours.

though the gold looks ok.

other colors? what would you suggest? would they be like, metallic colors such as silver, lead, copper, (lead? WTF!! anways) or rust?

Or did you mean something like purple or green. I tired to keep it kind of metallic looking because it is well... made of metal. A giant metal purple golem looks kind of silly :ggani:

But like i said it is only my first. And im using PSP7, which is kind of hard to figure out right now, seeing how i only used it to make icons for items and spells before, which is alot different from making an actual skin. I might get Adobe Photoshop though. If you know of any tutorials or even books i should look for on how to use PSP7 please let me know, it would help me out alot.

Hey wolf if you keep defending people and their crappy skins, Santa might put you on the nice list this Christmas and you might just get PSP :D

- Anyway, try adding a silver trim around his armour and adding glowy eyes, maybe blue or red.
