Magus/Janus Zeal

After taking a break from skinning for a while after my Gaea's Champion fiasco, I'm back...and here's my latest work. Probably not my best, but it was just something to get me back into the groove.

Magus/Janus from Chrono Trigger:

Heh, that's kinda cute. The nose needs some work, for certain, though. I recommend defining it more in general, and more importantly adding a darker shadow beneath it.

You almost pulled the cell-shading off, too. I do recommend against it for skinning, though, since most skins are mirrored in several places and that makes the lighting extremely inconsistent. If you can cell-shade with a generic lightsource, that would work out better.

Yeah I decided to just...not not do onee, because I wasn't sure how one would go about /making/ a cell shaded nose... =/

Heh, it's a toughy in 3D. For starters, a triangle shadow directly under the nose will help (point facing down). If you do that, you can see how it looks and touch it up from there.

Okay, thanks for the tip, lets see if I can make that work!

EDIT: Uhm...okay, that didn't go so well. Now he just looks like Magus with a hitler mustache... =/ Uhm, okay, time for a radical new approach!

Fel Orc Demon Hunter (as in a demon who hunts, not one who hunts demons -- ah I do love a good word pun) Magus!

That's actually a very nice face, and especially good as its on this model. Well done.

lol Eek, scary. >.<

Good skin get rid of the hair on the demon one. The skin went to totally different directions. All nice cell shaded guy then a wrinkled demon. Cell shading doesnt work ingame because wc3 engine has it's own shading.

Isn't Magus's skin white? Nevermind, that looks pretty good but... You gotta adjust it alot more. You can try Arthas :o

Magus Skin was blue or something wasnt it....
w/e

the pants look really C&P'd so try adding a little shading, burning to it

Okay....let's not debate the color of magus, here. His skin is pale (not /white/), his hair is violet -- I'm sorry if my color scheme was not as dead on balls-to-wall accurate, but it's hard to match a hue perfectly.

The pants look CnP because they are...I drew the pants and then scanned them in...I abhor working with freehand demon hunter pants...

I went in a completely random direction with the second draft because I realized I couldn't do Magus justice with the bare Demon Hunter model... (no cape, scythe, etc) Frankly, I love the face on the demon one, so I may procede in that direction, changing the skin to be entirely demonic... I have the original magus skin file still, if someone wants to to try and improve on my existing design -- one thing's for certain, there needs to be a good Magus skin. =/

First of, I'm not a skinner. But I do know that magus' skin is pale and his hair is violet, and though he always looks serious, be careful not to make him look demonic.

...Either he didn't read the post I made before him, or he thinks that my revision is supposed to /look/ like Magus.

Either way...ehhh...read the threads, people.

Hey, that's really cool. You think you could make some more CT characters for my campaign? I could even pay you if you like =) Click the link below if you're interested.
