I have been working on this skin since 8:AM yesterday (1:55AM right now) PST. By that I mean I started working, it was probably only less than 2 hours of work in intervals of 30 minutes througout the day. I dedicatedly created this skin for Hylian Production's skinning contest.

Because of the lack of active members, I will post it here as a WIP. Feel free to share any of your thoughts or ideas.

Wearin alot aint she?

Ok, as a skin it stands pritty good, but you need to change some things to make it a proper Cleopatra.

Kohl, its the black stuff egyptian women put around their eyes to make them seem bigger and catlike.
Short hair, Cleopatra's hair stopped about half an inch above her shoulders and was a straight, clean cut all round her head, it was probably a wig.
It needs more contrast for a WCIII skin.
A few more clothes?

Oh and i suggest u put some designs on the cape**dress.

Pheonix-IV, that was actually on my mind too. What do you think of the skirt? What do you mean to put alot of clothing, what for example? I need specific changes for specific parts because I am not really familiar with egyptian women clothing.

Well you have one of two choices with the clothes. You can do a sort of semi-toga as it were, looks a bit like somone wearing a toga on both sides (sort of hard to explain) or you can do it a similar way you have now, but with bare breasts. Cleaopatra, being a queen, spent alot of time in a sort of dress that started at her waist and went down to her knees and not much else. Also shoes tended to be sandals woven of reeds (and for higher up people, inlaied with gold) not boots. She also needs alot more jewelry, necklaces n things.

Pictures:
Side on view of a basic dress.


Heres an Exellent picture of her face. (Note the gold "Dress holder")


A sort of Jeweled thing you could do if you dont want to show breasts.


Good pic of the dress (if a little blocky) from the show Xena.


Another shot of a different variation of clothes.


I think this is what your trying to recreate right?


Full body shot of an elaborate dress she often wore.



That should be enough for now.

Thank you so much, Pheonix, for your effort for bringing me all those pictures. I have designed Cleopatra from scratach ground-up from what i've seen in Egyptian movies (mainly Prince of Persia (game) and The Mummy). That skin was made for the Hylian Production's Skinning Contest, ( http://forums.ganonsrealm.net/index....t=0&#entry2584 ) and dont forget to vote for me, (if I deserver it). Expect an updated skin in a while.

NOTE: How did you get all those pictures?

Wow, Thanks!

The conclusion to the comments I got from the sorceress state that it sucks.
But, do YOU really like the Sorceress Skin?

If you like it, I would surely post the .blp file.
