Blood Elf Warden WIP

Well, after ages, I've come back here to show you my latest (and, arguably, greatest) skin. I know it's been done, but I'm trying to make it more individual. I am also hoping to get some model edits. She's going to lose a bit of her helmet, her hair will be more visible and she'll have a long sword rather than that tambourine thingy.

She currently has no alpha channel. Please do not go on and on about this, I've heard every acusation on the internet and I am not a noob, newbie, idiot or spammer. (Bloody Vikings!). I would appreciate it if somebody took the TGA, added in a channel and sent it back so I could see how it looked.

Finally, the skin. I personally think her hair and face could do with some work, but I wanted to post it now.

a nice skin, but it needs more depth, right now the metal on the helm and the gold look very 2D, as do the wings

u need to either redo the skin if the alpha is broken or add shading to it if its purposeful if u look at all blizzard skins the alpha isnt a block but shaded

Four words, toochaos. Get-off-my-back.

Phoenix, how would you suggest making the metal look better? More shading? Less shading? A subscription to Mad Magazine? (Now that would help.)

Oh, and by the way, the next person to mention alpha channels will be...er...um...I'll tell you when I think of a good punishment.

shade much more and make the shading smoother. Nice idea :D

just shade in general, the whole skin needs more contrast, its too flat, the metal on the helm is probably too bright while the wings are a little on the dark side

the skin color makes her look as though she were seasick you should change it so that it is more vibrant.

Theres too much black on those shoulder pads, compared to the general blood elf armor.

Good skin so far.

I don't have Warcraft 3 anymore, so if anybody wants to continue the skin, here it is.

No offense but you really need to practice doing skin hues, shading team colour, and shading trim metal more fluently, skin is a good idea, but its uh... "different" from warcraft units. Oh yea and learn to take critiques.

Did you even read the message I posted? I don't have Warcraft 3 anymore!

Oh, and I take critiques, but not really stupid ones. Like people who tell me about alpha channels, when I state that my paint program doesn't support them. Do people read things these days, or just look at the pictures?
