REQUEST: Icy Undead Dwarf

Request from erwtenpeller: an icy undead dwarf.

Here it is. The wristbands dont match the rest because its actually for a map (unlike my other skins ;) ) so I wanted em to stand out (they look sweet ingame)

Partial recolor, knee skulls are CnP, i left like 2% of it alone, and the rest is freehand. I made:

Leg pants
Wrist bands
Chest armor (hardly visible :( )
Eye blood
Shoulder pads (red=team color)
leg plates around skull (again hardly visible ingame :( )
Boots
Beard (but stretching made it look normal :/

Im feeling the ice but not as much the undead :bgrun: but it seemed erwtenpeller wanted the ice emphasized more.

Note: for some reason the mountain king anims are f**cked up on my wc3 viewer, so I couldn't post any cool screenies, only unanimated stance :bgrun: I also kept some normal dwarf aspects and kept "in the lines" (as in, i didnt do much superbly creative work) since its supposed to resemble the normal mountain king after he died and was in ice for 1000 years or so (erwtenpeller's explanation ;) )

No release, unless erwie says I can (his choice. his skin :P)

I think this is your best skin due to date, it looks very nice 10/10 Although i think the blood should be a tad bit redder and not so much but besides that it pwns =)

it's very nice, allthough i do have some omments...

i think his skin should be white like the DK's,
his beard should be a lighter tint
i'd prefer the brown on his clothes black, or dark grey.
maybe make the skulls white/blue instead of white/brown?
his weapones should be a loth lighter, like they are made of see-through ice blocks =)

to awnser your other PM... yes, he should be more ebil
:ggani:
like the DK is an undead paladin, this should be the DK of the dwarves kinda... but then with ice...

Lemme just explain the story for this guy again, for all the people that vieuw this thread and dont know :D

this will be a character for Coastal Conflict,
It's undead Muradin Bronzebeard. The Lich King had him resurrected becouse he needed some strong soldiers to go aid Maiev with the capturing of Illidan, but he didnt want to use his own 'people' so he went out and just gathered some scumbags that died over the years, and sent their resurrected bodies to the fight...
i really like the skulls on his knees, they are kewl :ggani:

becouse Muradin Died somewhere in northrent, at the frostmourne pedestal, and he has been laying there for quite some time, his body and flesh have been preserver fairly well... but its all frozen stiff. His skills will be pretty much Iced versions of Mountain King skills. his skills still need better names though...
-cold hammer- hurl an hamer that slows and damages enemies.
-ice clap- slow and dmg enemies around you
-freeze- each attack gives a chance to freeze
-cold avatar- like the original one, only a tad weaker, and everyone that attacks him will be greatly slowed.

Avatar of frost, frost avatar, Avatar of ice, Frost one, Icy one, frozen avatar, frozen giant, giant of frost, Giant of ice, Ice Giant.
all i could think of, really stuck.

the blood from his eyes wouldnt be that red since hes been dead and all and especially sonce hes been frozeen.
I would go with the wwhitish skin like he said and u wanna basically keep everything else in blue tones so as to give u that cold feel.Brown is a "warm color" and gives the opposite effect. the clothes could be black too.:mtk:

Good start, but could use some work.

Firstly, the bloody eyes look terrible. They also make no sense at all, if he's been dead for milleniea I'd thinke he'd stopped bleeding by now.. I agree with the above posters, make his face more like the DK, whiteish with hollow eyes.

Secondly, the leather parts of the skin makes it look pretty messy, all different colors everywhere. I'd suggest putting some of your armor skin onto all the leather parts of the skin, so it looks like his armor is all metal.

Thirdly, the hammer is awful. Sorry. It looks like you just went crazy with filters on it, stuff like that doesn't look good one bit. The axe could probably be improves as well - try to draw new skins for them freehanded. Shading metal is relatively easy.

basically i think the metal is too dark. i'd suggest to make whats brown right now black or dark blue and the metal lighter, aspecially the weapons, they should be made of ice... maybe you can make them see through? i dunno about that, but i f that could be done it would be perfect.

and ofcourse what they said... white skin, lighter beard, maybe just remove the blood completely and make the skin full of cracks, that would rock...

is that a question mark on the axe?

the weapons don't look all that great. try random dodge and burn then smudge it around.
