A TTOA skin ;)

well i havent been skinning for a while due to the lost of my PS and my files(guess wad? reformatting of comp ^^), and ive been doing mdl editing... :D
well its crappy... its 90% free-hand(i recolored the lion's head, but i might be doing it free-hand from scratch in an update:)but im lazy today since im sick:()
besides the lion head all are free-hand:(

EDIT: well this suppose to be an old knight hes 60+ yr old :(
and yes the team color will be removed... the hammer is done yet since ian told me it will be removed too

looks a bit cluttered... and tha face seems to dark

-.- i keep forgetting... well iron_ian told me dat his skins shud be abit dark, but not too black... the armor looks old because he served for long enough :) like i said this is my first skin ever since i lost my PS:(
(havent been skinning)

Not one of your better works.
-His skin just doesn't look right, too much fluctuation in the tone
-The armor is well shaded but looks unreal because of poor lay out and strange colors.

can u show us blp to get a feel?

the armor's layout is ok in the skin, the model is so squarish:(
hmmmm and the shading looks weird i guess cos i forgot to smudge them:( and strange colors...? tell me more

this is the first time i ever posted a blp... to anyone in the forum... anyway heres it, plz dun use it, or iron_ian will yell at me...

Too dark and too blurry for me :-/

smooth out armor more and skin... maybe do hair different...

:( this thread withing 5 min got more replies then my skin >D

Good job.. I like the feel of it.. if that means anything. But some areas look too cluttered.. These mainly being the Chest, Shoulder Pads, Belt and Boot area. The armor looks cool, but it seems to be fractured and in so many pieces that you cannot see what is really a well done armor texture..

Well, I'd agree that it's not the best you've done.. But it is still pretty well done. The actual skin which you posted in the above post looks well done.. It's just the Paladins Unwrap doesn't do it justice.

I give it a 4/5 :D

-Fiery

Edit: Oh yes, and the face doesn't look quite right I'm not sure hwo to explain, but it has something about it that also makes the skin not quite as good.

well a little bit brighter... background color changed... so it looks brighter

You know what i think it is... i think its that that model just sucks ***... lol

:( yup damn model:(

It is very sloppy. The shading is off light seems to be coming from random directions. You need to smooth it out and sharpen the detail a lot. A lot of the lines seems sloppy and not straight.

I think I've figured out what I don't like about it: It's too brightly highlighted in a lot of places, large spots of white or almost white on top of areas not that white. Besides they spots aren't really uniform, giving a strong impression that the surface is equally rough and uneven. Also, you have lots of thin, sharp lines marking edges and stuff. They really stand out, making the skin look hand-drawn in a bad sense of the word. The concept I really like, apparently unlike other people, but I think you should redo... well, lots of it, to be honest. I suggest you put it side by side to the original Uther skin and see how they've done the shading to make the armor look rounded, the borders between overlapping armor plates, self-shadowing and stuff like that, it's enlightning even for me to study :) For example, if you look how they shaded the face and highlighted Uther's cheekbones you immediately see why your character's face look kinda sunken in.

Oh, and I suggest finding some other way to make chain mail, that doesn't really look good. I just realised the plate armor might be improved simple through really heavy bluring and some slight, uniform darkening... I'd stay FAR away for dodge/burn at this stage, the model is already too saturated.

In essence, cool idea and outline but it needs some more work and attention to detail.

BTW, great kodus on your willingness to post the actual skin, much more interesting and rewarding to examine it that way. Way to many people are worried about it getting "stolen", for no reason IMO. What's the worst thing that could happen, some n00b claims it as his own work to feel good about himself for a change? :) Less selfishness = more friendly and interesting community.
