Its a evil lookin Riveted Metallic and Gold Lich. I've been doin a few metal skins lately and they've always lacked something, so i spent about 10 minutes thinking before i realised what was missing, Rivets! CnC welcome, spam and flames not.

i did notice that, i cant work out why they look like that, they look fine in the .blp, its kinda confusing.

Your gold is too yellow, start with a dull orange and dodge & burn to bronze/gold. You need more highlights n the face.

also, since he is metal, shade in the white areas, they look plastic

Tryed a different kind of Rivet, i reckon it looks better, what do you guys think?

The White areas are suppost to be Polished Silver while the Gold areas are Burnished Gold.

Its improving, the nails around the face are good, but not by his horns and stuff. Gold is nice, if your going to have the silver be silverish, make it look realistic, it looks too grey as of now. The pinkish colored lower body is wierd, I think you should change the color to a color that fits in with silver and gold (bronze?)

havnt edited the lower half yet, i'm gonna completly redo it. The horns are REALLY annoying, they strech so their actually bigger in the model than they are on the .blp! I cant actually change the Rivets on them cause if i make them any smaller they look like crap. Right now the rivets are 5 pixels wide and high.

rivets need to be far smaller where they are large

read what i said, i cant make them any smaller. In the skin those rivets are 6 pixels by 6 pixels, as small as i can make them without looking screwy, i did make on that was 4 x 4, it looked like complete CRAP.

Anyway, update on the skin, its now the Royal Metal Lich, and the silver is actually silver in color.

you know you dont have to put nails ALL over it... o_O

the face looks quite well now.... good job on that...

you know, with some jade (thats what those egyptian green stones are called right? or is that emerald?) he would look egyptian...

yeah, Jade is what the "Egyptian Green Stones" are called :)

and am i getting what your hinting at? That if i make him look egyptian you'd like to use him as Anubis ^_^ (of course i could just be jumping to conclusions, but why else add that comment)
