Perhaps A Tougher Skin Request

Well, I find myself here at last requesting a skin for something I just need a replacement for... Well, Fang's old skin.
As of current I use Afroknight's wonderful four-eyed Demon Hunter skin, but somehow it doesn't quite fit with how I am making Fangoram in the new version.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I guess don't really worry about it.
The skin would be used in AotZ v2.00 for the hero Fangoram, the Hallowed Seeker.
His 'theme' is mobility on an extreme level, but because of too many complaints of me supposedly hijacking him from ToB's Leto, I've decided to keep him in the same direction but make him a bit different.

Anyways, I'm no good at actual art, so I couldn't whip up some kind of a concept drawing of what I really need, but I can try my hardest to explain.
There again, I'm not asking for a simple skin, but moreover a full-on one.
I guess I should be thankful if I even get a response. >_>

Anyways, the overall theme will be a mobility-driven sun & moon based hero. If someone is indeed interested and needs a rundown of his actual skills as I have them, PM me and bug me about it. But either way, celestial bodies need to be represented in the skin bigtime, without being too imposing. Thus a skin that deals with the celestial in some way for the Demon Hunter would be awesome. However, I don't want stars or something tacky just nailed onto the clothes and call it a day.

I know I can't really be picky when I'm posting this as a request, but this is the one aspect of mapmaking I just am entirely incapable of doing on my own, and I know I need help here. So any real help would be awesome, but there again, I'm not expecting anyone to jump out of the crowd and go "ME ME ME" so...

Anyways, thanks at least for reading it.
Here is a quasi-more-detailed idea at what I am looking for, by having lil' text blurbs all around the DH skin. (Don't tell anyone, but Im only putting this up here so I dont look like a retard just seeking a random skin for a random project. :P)

Thanks again for reading through this and thanks if anyone should decide to aid me in my plight. :P

I actually looked at SolTa.
But it was intended for B&B only, so I was skeptical in its use.
Not to mention, I've already hijacked an old B&B skin, so I didn't want to appear like I was stealing their resources.

SolTa's skin certainly would work though.
Guess I'll have to ask Erwt then.

Jeez, what's wrong with the old skin? :(

See, that's the thing.
There's nothing wrong with it per se (Aside from it being way dark in game and that it loses literally all details -- I had to color him gray or else he would be impossible to see).

The thing is is that Fangoram is changing, for the better.
His theme remains the same, but the way it's executed (Punny, eh? :P) will be largely different.
There isn't a single skill on him that won't be different in some pretty big way.

Rising_Dusk, I felt like trying to make a skin for you. I don't know if it's what you're looking for or not, but it's what came to mind based on what you asked for.

I modified the weapon, recolored everything to be more bluish, removed the blackish tattoos and placed a sun tatoo on him, and recolored to the pants to have some sun and moon characteristics:

I'm not very experienced as far as skinning goes, so I won't be too insulted if you don't like it :P

Sorry to break it to you buddy, but that sucks :P. The weapon looks like a cartoon!

I know :(, but I already know that art isn't my area of expertise... I just thought I'd give it a try. Meh... I guess I should just stick to scripting...

Edit: Actually, do you have any suggestions, since I'd rather this be a first step toward learning to skin well than a failure..
