First even if it is your first skin it really, really isn't that good.

#1 There is a lack of shading
#2 The armor isn't proportioned correctly
#3 It looks like you used MS Paint get GIMP

advice, lower the eyes, it may correct the dh's eye placement, lol
anyways, the armor seems unevenly sorted everywhere. I recomment recoloring over his torso muscles to get a sense of how the armor should be.

Looks like someone dripped melted carmel on the armor and it just happened to fall in place of the outlining of it.

hmm... i think all guys scared him off, lol! he can't have used paint, cuz there is some shading there. even if it's not good, it is shading. but you can't skin well without highlights too...

I think it's a good job for a first skin. The chest needs more shading , however the arm bands look pretty good. The eyes and chest are the only things that need more work, and change more of the skin. Good job for a first!

;) lol, Martingo, I've seen ..... worse. They're right that it's not exciting or neat. You started out the right way though, first skinnings are rarely little more than armour or skin changes.

Read some more tuts and look around a bit at pro examples. Don't forget that its not an orc or a rough looking creep and that symmetry and shading are important.

lol, Wormskull's correct, blunt as a sledgehammer, but correct. Check the model again and again until it's right. If that's to boring you shouldn't skin. :(

First off, I am a grammer freak. When you skin a unit, at least make sure you know his name. You put "illiaden' (ill-e-aden). That's especially not kool, cause Illidan is an awesome character (and yes it IS "Illidan").

The skin: I recently posted my first skin (posted it in the wrong place :\ ), but I did edit THE WHOLE skin. They are right, one part of the skin changed looks pretty cheap. Your off to a good start on the armor, but it definatly needs A LOT of work. As for the eyes, you should have tried to at least use the Hue/Saturation/Contrast to make his blindfold look close to his skin, than put the eyes on that (his can be really hard to make look right, but even a new comer can do it). The gloves don't look BAD, but don't look good. I also fully agree with Wurmskull that you shouldn't use the "first skin" excuse. On the skin that I recently released, I said that it was my first, but I didn't say it in a way to make an excuse of it. It wasn't that bad of a skin (if I may say so myself). Of course, it had problems, but they number far fewer than the problems of your skin. That sounded like I was trying to brag, but I had no intention of it sounding that way, nor was I honestly trying to brag (my skin still isn't a GOOD skin). Keep at it though, and you'll only get better.

"Well at least now that I'm at the bottom of the chain, the only place I can go is up"

Thank you for your time.

It's spelt "grammar".

:o :\ . You got me GOOD. However, you put "It's" which means that something belongs to "It". The "its" without the ' means "it is".

Nice return if I may say so myself...
