This is the first skin I completed.. and fully working.. I Know its not anything great or really all that different, its just something that I learned how to re-draw something and import it into Frozen Throne (now after finally getting it). I'd like to hear what you all think.

Use wc3viewer to get a better screenshot, not much to see besides arms.

Ok.. I saw ""Take Snapshot".. that should work.. now then how would I go about getting my skin onto the Demon Hunter model?.. I cant seem to figure it out

go to your wc3 directory in your c: drive...

now within your wc3 directory create a folder called textures and put the skin in there, should work now

Well ok I did that.. But I still see the view that the skin is edited in.. the .blp.. even when loaded from that folder.. Now what do I do to apply that to the demon hunter?

you have to look at the demonhunter.mdx to preview you're skin.

Thanks to you Tiki for being patient with me and answering my questions and Saikann thank you as well for adding in your answer.

I was able to view the skin, and now I have a front back and both views of the sides for you all to see.. hopefully these will be a little better

That skin looks pretty good for just a recolor. Next time try to do some other things though, add battle scars, tatoos, etc. The thing on the blades doesnt go with the skin but it looks good. Nice job!

the tattooos need to be shaded or blended with skin, there too like out there.

Well I didnt see your post TIki till I was just about to post this, so I didnt get to tinker around with your suggestion. But I did add some blood brushes and a leather "patch" I suppose you could call it..

Edit: I think the patch had messed something up, his pants just dont like right for some reason now.. Could be getting thrown off though.

its not bad, the tatoos and designs on pants are a bit to contrasting, maybe smooth em out some

Wow! i like the logo!
anwayway, on the skin, id try and make the tatoos abit brighter on the upward tones of the muscles. E.g. look at the grunt skins, the muscles are yellow at the peak! to make the skin look like an actual realistic unit, you have to just add abit of airbrushed ligher shades onto the muscles on them. Start with 1 quick brush with a masssive brush on the muscles with a color a fair bit lighter than that blue... then go a fair bit lighter than that with a smalller brush and hold on about 0.2 secs longer. dpo this until its light enough for ur unit... NE's tend to be abit darker than orcs because of their nightly habits, and humans go REAL light coz of their light skin.... undead have almost NONE at all.....
