Spirit Warrior, once a living man, who sought to find the Amulet, he perished on the journey, and now joins the dead army of guardians - Spirit Warriors, who eternally protect the Shards of the Earth.

My best skin so far, i used a new method, I used to use dodge, burn and blur, but it took out the detail. Now I use smudge mostly, and only dodge and burned on the chest armour. Blur is only ever slightly used. Also, one major difference, I used my almighty Wacom Tablet (great Christmas present!) so it was a completely new style of skinning. Oh well, here it is (I put it as an attachment this time so you can now rate my skins).

That's cos its not high-res, and its zoomed up close. All of blizz's skins look pixely when you zoom up close. It looks fine from far away. Look at the back, thats not pixely at all.

It looks good, but pretty pixelly- even for a 256.

Ok, here's a 'non-pixelly' pic, why, just because its zoomed out a bit, thats why. Don't comment on the pixelliness, comment on the skin, rate it out of 10. I didn't post it here for people to say "that looks pixelly" I posted it here to get 'constructive' critisicm, and for people to rate my skin.

It needs more shading and fine details. Add designs or something. I think it needs more color variations pick more shades of green. It still looks pixelly on the chest just smoothen the chest a bit. By the way that is constructive criticism.

Update, smoothened the chest with blur, and recoloured and redrew for a new variation, the other was for a temple in Northrend, this is for a Temple in the Sunken ruins.

The new version looks a bit "goopy"

Completely done from scratch, with my wacom. Only bit I 'cheated' on, was I used a texture I made. The second version is supposed to look a bit goopy, like the revenant of the waves, seaweed on him.
