Earth Mage

well this is the Earth Mage i made for BurningSpartan's RPG
its still wip i think, if burnin isnt pleased with it the way it is.
i thought i might just as well post it here for critics and comments,
constructive would be good..
(and i know, the world has seen to many of this type of skins)
and some parts are recolor or havent been changed at all.. and the theme, should be earth mage.. :8

doesnt look to bad, but like you said there are parts recoler and not changed. make those freehand.

well, how for example can i make a bracelet freehand? :( i seriously dunno..
i could always make all theese odd markings on it, but that would look weird .. :/

well, lasso the part. then start with a dark color, depends on the color you want the bracelet. for a gold on pick a dark gold or dark brown color. then get a lighter color gold and make it that color but leave the edges dark. then a even more lighter gold(almost white)and then skin the edges(not over the dark). you can experiment with different colors and dark and lighter spots. this is just the very basics of it all. open up some skins and look at them.(this really helpt me)

hope it helps.

Make the front part some animal skin like the back.

whats with the warped background?

@ the poll: Dont put up such stoopid choices, you can either say its hell good or its bad and insult your self....

:) this is my first poll :P and the warped backround.. i dunno.. i just wanted to try something new

THANKS MARTIN! I LOVE IT!
