Sea Tauren...

okay this stuff is strange and far from done... all i actually did was the basic texturing and color sheme, i didnt dodge or burn ANYTHING in this one. i plan to sponge some parts a little, and splutter some textured shades and maybe some rusty orange over it to make it look more weatered... also i need to add some seastars and stuff like that.

maybe also make him look more furrish... i wanted to go for somekind of leezard/kai look but it doesnt really work out THAT well so i might make it just a tad more furrish...

i seriouly need good suggestions on this one becouse some parts just dazzle me and i dont know what to do with them >'<

nuf chatter, here it is:
ma 6th skinnie, the sea tauren. (inspired by sea giant... a little.)

BEFORE C&C:



AFTER C&C:

hi there

(I've been away from wc3c for a while 'cause of work, and it ain't finish yet, f*ck work, I wanna be in holydays :'( )

Erwt... you know what ?
you really know what ?
you roxx !! omg this skin is fuckin' great ! creative, original, and excellent skin style
the unwrap is amazing, much more than when it's applied on the model

great work, keep up the damn cool work, you're fuckin' 1337 as say Alfred :D

Those totem are real funky ( no dodge and burn??????) as for the green on the guy I suggest some sort of scales or grain ( you know what I mean) and some detail in the yellow would be nice; You obviously know what your doing.:D
*edit* and the axe, do something surprising with it, coral, shells, driftwood,....

That color scheme really looks weird...

Eh... and Unfortunately... Dodge/burn gives better effects on skins than screen/multiply...

Tone it down a bit... maybe even alpha out the beard if you are going for the whole Lizard thing...

Its a bit blurry in the unwrap but I think that the actual skin on model is really amazing. Good job. ^_^

Heh, it looks cartoony, but I like it!

2 alpha the beard is an impossubility becouse of the teamcolor it has...

some thoughts i had on improvements, and poisters i mght take over:
-i wanna put some shells in the beard and strangs along his horns.
-see if i can make the axe a fishing hook ^^^
-texturize the skin (especially yellow) some more to have scales, but probubly more fish then lizard like.
-upgrade the texture on the totem and make some more variaty in there, maybe with some shells or sea weed.
-shade his pants a little darker

any more suggestions? i real;ly feel it misses a certain amount of sexyness that my previouse skins had XD

and i didnt even use layers in this one-- its all painting all the way baby. all i used was eyedropper and brushes at variouse opicities. i cant use dodge and burn on this one becouse i dont feel it gives the nescesary quality when working with two colors in one part, like i'm trying here (yellow and green./blueish)

thnx for all the feedback so far ^^

Wow, thats really cool. i cant say much about it, maybe you should add some shells to the totem. or maybe just a big shell in the middle of the intersection of the two parts of each totem. you could add maybe some coral or something. i dunno about the beard but you should do something with it. cant wait to see it finished.

STaff should be that goldish metal that the Naga have. Eyes should be very bright. Inside of mouth should be a pinkish or some weird color like a dark faded purple ish.
NEEDS SHADING THE PARTS LOOK ALL JUMBLED HE STARTS TO LOOK LIKE A SEA BLOB. THIS SKIN IS FKING 1337 THO FKING LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Yeah... what Egg said... sans the shouting and exuberance. But I assume that you will put the shading in after you get the other details down.

OT- glad to see you passed Egg... glad to see you passed.

For real sexiness you could try somsort of pearly sheen if its possiblle to achieve ( does that sound like martin sheens lost son?) and maybe more slimy shiny bits. and where did his nosering go?

hmm looks good, very blizz esque, looks like you did it with a wacom due to the texture...blizz did some stuff with wacoms...

i am convinced all the blizz crew uses wacoms.

and yeah i knew it needed shading, and i believe i mentioned it before... somehoew it reminds me of my first skin that icy crypt lord, that looked like a big blue blob as well, i dont want that for this one >''< i just dont really know yet HOW to shade his ass... but dont worry i'll get it down.

that gold weapon might be good yeah... but keep in mind it'd be a fishing hook. i'm gonna add a shelf to what used to be the belt, i'm gona re-add the belt, and i'm going to see if i can make some nets on his totems, see if i can really make him a fishermen ^^^that'd be groovy... lumberjacks, fishermen... i need a surgeon. or a mad professor...

THNX for all the positive feedback ^^

here is what i've done with it:

note the lewt fishing hook, the sponging and texturing a little, and all the weed and shells and stuff, just added some more detail.



added a little comparison to the first version in the first post ^^

oh and thnx everyone for repping me ^^, as soon as this 24-hour stuff passes i'll return the favor as much as i can... at least, if theres some constructiveness going on in this thread (i dont have enough rep to spend so i need to select a viuw X[)

i must admit that when i saw the first post (w/o c&c) i was sort of skeptical about this turning out cool, but of course you bitch slapped me and reminded me it was you doing the skin on this one. Looks really nice right now. I really like the belt and what you did with the axe. The nets sound like an awesome idea. No real C&C. Keep up the great work!

wow, good job on weapon! :D
