BladeMaster Samuro Flamestrike

so what do you think? this is my first attempt so dont flame.
Instead you can post notes on how to make it better.
its not finished yet.

perhaps showing a different angle of him. Is this your first skin? With small steps in the right direction they may turn to wonderful things.

did you notice what im trying to do with the sword?
its a model of another japanese weapon but i cant remeber the name. There is a similar weapon in d2 though its more like a spear weapon

im going to remove that necklace and replace it with starlike
forms. ex. the star in the frostorb and also add a blue flame
motif on the redpart of the blade

what you think of that?

i think you edited this image cos one side of his face isnt like the other side

I havent edited the image if you mean the ear i think its a bug
like it dissapeard from the skin when i took the screenshot

i think change the back a lil bit so it looks like the armour on the shoulders is actually connected not just stuck on

Yeah i have been thinking about that and it looks kind of strange

however here is another wiew of it and also a interface portrait

While I'm not really sure if this skin is done completely from scratch, I'll just assume so. Probably its best feature is the face...its got a lot of character, like an old orc whos been through shit and isn't such a nice guy. The weapon's cool, can't remember what its called either though...very nice job on that one.

Add a belt going from the two shoulder pads, and maybe on the inside of the arms...that'll take care of it just looking like it was slapped on. Just in case you forgot, the belts should sag down some.

Shading and such is pretty good, has a sort of washed out, old painted pewter model look to it, but its not bad.

Well, thats about it, good job again. If I'm going suggest anything else, its probably just to even out the lights and darks in the skin, namely the dark shaded areas.

Thx for the tip im working on those belts right now
and maybe some more of that warpaint on other bodyparts
cause i really want him to look like savage and stuff..
know what i mean?

here it is i have added those belts are they enought or should i change something about them? i also removed that pesky necklace and i will soon add a tooth necklace now thats more like it!:D . i also removed the pony tail to add some more war paint later but that neck looks kind of square :bgrun:

Nice job, much props.
Not a dramatic change, but one for the better in my personal
oppinion. As for the Japanese weapon, I think its a Naganita?
I'll look it up.

Though, the necklace with the balls on it, DOES bear some imporatance, I'm not sure what that is, exactly, but characters such as Akuma, are always wearing it.

Naginata

I suggest making the handle longer tho by editing the model, naginatas are alot longer than that :)

Hey Cal. I see u got it in-game. Did my tutorial work?

Thx to both Kojiro and zzZZ for the Naginata name (really i did need that) and zzZZ im allready working on the handle.
kitol yes your tutorial helped alot although MasterSlowPoke also helped me understand some more about winMPQ.
im aslo trying to reskin the command button

Ive made the Command Button its in my Avatar! 8)
im thinking about making his eyes glow though...

anyway it seems that i cant make the naginata longer (at least i dont know how)in my psp.7? do i need to model?
