Scarlet Edge Remix [Hi-res skin]

First, here's a link to a pic of my old scarlet edge: http://www.beyondgoodevil.org/images/scarletedge.jpg

Some info: This is my first hi-res skin, and I think it looks stunning. The thing with hi-res is you better know what you're doing or else the mistakes you make will show up infinitely clearer.

His shield and weapon are not skinned, this is because I want to do some model editing to him. If that isn't accomplished I'll probably skin the shield in the future, same goes for his weapon. I'll probably do more touching up on same places; otherwise I think it's pretty pleasing to the eyes. Keep I mind this is all done freehand. Here he is:

Forgot to mention his ears are still the original, but I'll either remove them or change them a bit. They're the red things sticking out of his head.

Hes beautiful, in a evil and high-rez kind of way. You outdid yourself 10/10

The lower part of the mask and the large flap in front of his skirt put it off because they are very plain compared to the rest, but its a fair skin...

I don't like the concept, but it is a very good skin never the less.

I picked this concept because it's very original. This is quite the opposite of almost every skin posted here. (Jesus, HOW MANY UNDEAD SKINS CAN YOU GUYS MAKE). o_O

It's not bad, but half those details aren't going to be visible. Also there isn't much that sticks out in the skin, nothing that grabs your eye which is visible from the WarCraft III in-game view. I don't see why the hell anyone even bothers making hi-res textures, it's the most pointless heap of shit you could think of. You can't even see any of the crap you guys throw on your guys, it's too busy and cluttered. Take example from blizzard, not alot of texture/detail but a decent amount of colour, define strokes and large noticeable texturing. Besides, anything you can do in hi-res can be done normally.

Yeah, I get what your saying. They've overdone the ud skins, they need to try to make some nightelf skins or something (elf to ne i mean).

Everything you've said is wrong. So this is in defense of any skinner out there, and especially to anyone trying hi-res.

1) This isn't going into any map, and if it does it will be a cinematic.

Me: 1. You: 0.

2) Hi-res is pointless and cluttered: It's art, I don't want to limit myself. Have you ever tried to skin? And if I hear another moron point out a skin is too "busy" I'll stab them. Seriously, look at those pics.. HOW IS THAT TOO BUSY? I've yet to see a skin, and I've seen countless skins, that have been too busy.

Me: 2. You: 0.

3) Blizzard: Blizzard is under time constraints, I don't even want to know how many skins they pumped out a day. Of course they had to define their characters more; they have to sell this shit. Also, take notice that they have cinematic skins and models, this is for them to simple look good: I bet you're dumb enough to say that Rockin' Arthas is too "busy" when he's more detailed than a lot of the skins I see here. When Blizzard needs to, they make quality skins like that which are meant to be zoomed into and seen close (LIKE HI-RES SKINS, duh?).

Me: 3. You: 0.

4) Anything you can do in hi-res can be done normally: Lmao, I take it you've never tried skinning at 256 and switching to 512 or 1024. Please, you don't even know what you're talking about. This difference is astounding. I was limited exponentially when skinning at 256.

Me: 4. You: 0. Whose keeping count anymore anyway?


OT: Blizzball, no I'm not technically part of any project.
