Decayed Warlock

Hello pplz

I am a bit rusty in with my skinning, so please tell me of any flaws you think obvious.

Well, the theme is decay, but not necessarily a horror with holes in the flesh and bones sticking out everywhere, more like the phase before that, just before the flesh begins to rot.

It was skinned in 256x256 (which is just as easy as 512x512 if you ask me)

anyways, enough chatter, tear it apart ;)

Great fuken skin. No one really crited well and you said tear it apart. As another artist I'll pick out anything but note it is perfect as is.

The chest looks weird. It is a square with flesh but the flesh doesnt resemble any type of chest or torso muscle. It may look better if that was the same color as the armor. It does look like chest muscles in the unwrap but on the model it turn out weird.

He has two pairs of teeth I'm not sure if you intended that but it looks great. The first pair (on his lips) are too streched but I dont think you can fix this without messing the face up. If you change it the teeth the one in his mouth may be effected. I'm unfamilar with Archimonde's wrap.

And last the earring needs to alphaed it is a square right now.

but perfect as is... Better then anything I could do. Keep it up and hot logo

Ty for the commentes pplz :)
Logo is drawn by Egg :D

@Erwtenpeller: Hmmmm, it appearsi cant alpha the inner teeth out, so i'll try to edit the mouth today.
@Mock:Yes, the chest is troublesome, i'll see if i can get it any better looking. The two rows of teeth were intended, but well, it doesnt look all too well i think -.-' (see the attached gif)
@Andy: yep.

@whoever might be interested: i have written a tut on how to shade muscles this way

and heres a gif showing a speech anim, should the front row of teeth be erased ?
Now where is Jester when you need him :\

Yes? :D Well as a showcase skin, its not bad. For it to fit in warcraft 3 is another story, would need more contrast. The only part that looks warcrafty is the thigh area which I like, little more orange saturation maybe. Fix the dead eyes, I dunno, orange glow or something. The nose is the central thing and it just needs more definition. You can see how his nose sticks out so rather make it look like a humanoid nose than orc or whatever. The armor looks very quake 2 style. Lastly those pipes coming out him, yeah could use more detail.
What exactly do you use to make that animated last pic? I want to make some.

I export the animation as an avi. (with warcraft III viewer) then used a program called Camtasia (can also be used to record ur screen, great for tutorial purposes) to turn the avi into a gif, then cropped the gif with adobe ImageReady
(camatasia be found at www.techsmith.com, its a trial though)

a small update pplz

If you thought the dh was the only eye bitch, then add archimonde to the list too. A few pixels make a difference -.-'
heres an anim with a set of try-out eyes.

And one with the chestarmor. I think the skin has a better flow with the armor on the chest, right ?
