Grunt WIP

Well, this isn't really my first skin. But I consider it as my first because all of my former skins were re-colors and CnP. This is my first free-hand skin. So far, I think it's coming along ok.
I'm sure you'll see one or two similarities with other Grunt skins that other people have done because I looked at plenty of other skins before I started this one.
Anyways, I need help on a few things. Whenever I look at him ingame, he looks horribly fat. The muscles I drew on his stomach looked good in the blp file, but they don't show at all ingame. Also, I don't really like the shoes at all.
Well, I posted a regular Grunt next to him so that you can get a better idea of what I changed.

It looks very nice. Rep for ya...

Thanks guys, but any ideas on how to improve it?

hmmmm i think we have a thief on our hands. http://www.samods.org/wcwarehouse/sk...el/agram_3.gif
But if I recall its the raiders head that was copied and it wasent coppied of this skin. Illl check later

Define the boots, they look like mush. And make your own face.

I dunno you stole the head right?

I quote:
I you look carefully, you'll see its heavily influenced from Dawn of Chaos' Brute skin.
And Egg, yes this IS the Raider's helmet with some tweaking here and there. All I added was the black area instead of grey. I didn't copy anything.
Final Tyrant, I stole nothing!
Whitehorn, I'll try and redo the face. And thanks for posting some actual constructive comment.

You said SOME similarities. It looks like you didn't even change the face from the one that egg linked to.

The problem with your stomach muscles is this: You made them small and defined well, but being that small they blur from a distance. Make them large slabs, like maybe 2 coming down from his pecks, and don't make them extend ALL the way to his side, make them fade off to an extent than have a drop that you can barely make out.

If you did take the head: I shame you and hope you die a firey death for being a theif! If you didn't take the head: Nice immitation, but make something original.

Nice work on the skin overall.

For goodness' sake! I DID NOT steal godamn the head of that skin. I didn't even change the face. AND this is the friggin raider helmet.

I say leave everything as is, fix up the boots, and you're good. I'd give rep, but the Art Section gets enough of it as it is.

Not bad. I'm just curious, I know the heads an edit but the skin is the Orc Chaos warlock isnt it ??? :( I recognise the muscle definition under the recolour. It's excellent shading. :D

No, it is NOT the Orc Chaos Warlock AND it is NOT a recolour.

Just because its his first skin you dont have to assume everything is stolen and recolor. I think its a really good skin but the face seems a little too yellow. And the beady thing around the edge of the shoulder pad seems a little too out of place. Nothing else on the skin looks like that. But it could just be me. Its a nice skin nonetheless. Very good for a first non-recolor.

Settledown ;) . Thats why I "asked" Archean (hense the question marks). I think it's a great skin and it wasnt my intention to offend you. I was working on the warlock skin at the time I posted and I saw similarities in the skin and the skull on his belt. If you tell me it's 100% original I have no reason to believe otherwise.
