Need Help With Druid Of Claw

Ok now i skinned the druid completely. I mean the WHOLE THING. and when i load it into the game I still see this bear head sticking off his back. I dont know where i go to skin that thing... someone help me! (btw just ignore that last pic)

the bear uses a gifferent skin, It should be right under him in the list.(Units\NighrtElf\DruidofTheClaw\bear.blp I think) skins not bad but I think if you sharpen the contrast in the beard more It will look better ( stand out more)

Yes..yes...you seem to be very nit picky about my beards if i do say so myself, let me bring up another quote from you
I mean come on man! I really really thought this time I did a good job on the beard I mean i used same method and all but this one turned out so much better... anyways thanks for telling me, I actually have to edit the bear to get the head thing a different color? That seems weird to me. Or maybe gives me an idea of making bear into a wolf? No no too much work for a novice skinner. Not even that I just started 3 days ago so thats what? A noob skinner? O well and the pathing has two Druid of the claws you had one. Like this Units\NightElf\Druidoftheclaw\druidoftheclaw\bear.blp

I didn't say this beard was bad I just ment make it stick out more its an eye catcher on the model so use it. Ingame a lot of detail can go to waste thats why I said that

Alright I'll try its just I'm horrible at shadding, maybe you could tell me what tools help with shading in Adobe Photoshop? I dunno if its a wise tale but I heard there are some tools that help you shade, cause shading by hand is really hard unless you are an artist... or a skinner.... or someone who didnt have to retake kindergarden class.. I mean really LOOK AT ME! I got friggen cartoons that date back apparently when shading wasnt invented. My druid of the claw can be put on a lineup with a papa smurf for god sakes. All he needs is a red cap and there ya have it..

You can use the burn for shading and dodge for highlights they are in the tool palette. also sometimes smudging can be useful for shading ( I shouldn't tell you this but you can also use stuff like the contast/brightness enhancer and replacement color and stuff they are under the thing next to edit, don't tell anyone I told you this I think people don't like it.)

Hoe did u create that ice like effect on the face. Its no the best but it think i can make it even icyer. Plz reply quick

Looks like he used a few shades of blue, added noised and used a motion blue filter at a certain angle to create that effect, or he used a texture w/ the blue shades.

Go Filters Go Filters Go Filters GOOOOOOOOO!!! Well at least you're learning you're way around Photoshop, try messing around with Dodge and Burn, and the Blur tool next time to skin(Those 3 are great for shading), and make sure you learn the power of the polygonal lasso tool, which allows to select things to the dime, you've got some promise, it'll take awhile, but I think you'll become a pretty good skinner.

I did this skin below from scratch using only the pencil tool, dodge, burn, smudge tool,



After I was done, I glossed it once with plastic wrap with very low opacity, to see it it would wrap around my shading, and I could see where some more shading should go.

Ya i dont like filters much but mixig filters and some level of techniquie can yield some great results. Figuring out what he did adjucting the contrast and dodging a little should result in some nice ice effect.

You could lasso all the hair, use canvas texture vertically, then use motion blur, ta-da. I use to do that to hair when I first started skinning 2 years ago.

or wack on some color with the pencil and smudge everything into submission........maybe thats why my skins look messy????

For the beard i made I just used a weird 'grass-like' bursh and sized it down to like 4 pixels.

Heres my bear remixed so-to-speech.

Halcyon im not trting to make a hair effect. dosent even look like that cause i do that some timez.
