The slave from the Chaos army

I'm making a new mod which i will show when it 's more balanced. I started making new skins for this mod, and here's one... that's the peon type for the Chaos army. He's supposed to be a slave... Allmost all of it is free hand except for the face that is recolored a bit.
I'm happy with the way the chest turned out, but i think the whip scars on his back don't look so good yet. Plz give comments.

oh and one thing you should have in mind : this is a peon unit, in game it's really small...So small details won't show.
Here's the link to the pic.

lo9oks quite nice, the pants atre nice, but his back looks really fucked up.

I think that the blood on the back needs to be improved, but otherwise it's a good skin.

yea i know...the back was really shitty so i did some recolor on it. See the newest one here . not so different and yet so much better imo...

thx for the comments :D

Now i hate team color, but i have to put it somewhere... Do you guys have any idea where ?

Team Color? Good luck... the only thing I could suggest for that is maybe put a tatoo somewhere that is team colored... graet skin btw

dam that back raps SOOOO bad.

Here is a awesome blood tutorial.

If you don't have psp (I don't) Just get a blood looking brush and get the settings of the brush as close as possible. and when it says set blend type to burn in PS its called color burn.

thx
I didn't want to add blood spill to it, i want it more like a dry scar. But the tutorial seems pretty helpfull anyway (i cant believe i didn't know there was a burn tool on photoshop...).

Egg, yea i have trouble with melting the back polys into the rest of the skin. Otherwise i'm ok with the way it's blurry cuz it's for in-game purpose only.

looks good, but the blood should be darker and less pink, this is a cool skin, and maybe make the skin more of a greyish tinge...desaturate it...

I think you're right, that overall skin color I used makes him look pretty healthy, and even chubby...which is kinda odd for a slave!!!

ps : btw if there's any modeller here that is interested in adding chains to his feet and/or to his arms, i would be delighted. ^_^

yeah, well, chains would be hard to do, youd have to animate them and then attach them or else they would be stiff chains...

the blood could use some work but why are all the cuts facaing the same way

--- the cuts look like lines fix that

I think thats probably because of the nature of the strike, , the direction of the strike will make all of the tails of the whip go the same direction

why would someone whip sideways if they could whip like at a 45 degree angle like this \\\ or /// it would hurt much much more i should no after my cousion got a whip for christmas

But if you whip someone sideways, u might break his spine luckily. :D



......No actually the reason why i did them that way is because i never saw real whip scars, and i just thought they would look like that ... 'guess i'll have to get documentation (sounds like fun)...
