Personally, i would suggest remodelling the staff do it looks like a scythe then maybe making the clothing under the cloak a bit more evil looking, grim reaper doesnt look so great wearing brown leather. As for ur problem, i have no idea. My photo paint is b0rked right now. (all the toolbars are completely gone even the main one [file, edit, view etc.] isnt there)
(sorry if this sounds a little high for a newb)

yea i was gonna fix the scythe.......and i did make the clothes under the cape darker but the stupid thing don't recognize it for some reason.....im gonna get to the staph soon as i learn how to edit models

u just said that a minute ago............

could u guys tell me what ya think?....its funny, every thread i make just gets read and no one writes anything lol

Well Dragon, you dont get many replies here for several reasons:
1: You linked the file, rather than attaching or IMGing it. People are lazy, and won't bother to click that.
2: This is technically in the wrong place, since you post finished skins in the gallery.

Ok, as for the skin it looks pretty good, but you can't see sh#t in the Screenshot. I personally HATE people who don't include a portait shot, or AT LEAST a good face closeup! Most of the Skin is just slightly recoloered Medivh, but the Skull looks nice. The staff sucks starait up, and needs to look more silver and less grey.

As for the Glitch, I think your skin is corrupted. ALWAYS save files using the default compression values etc, or they tend to F#$% up!

damn insaniteus....... emote_sweat

ouch lol....no the costume is supposed to be just colored black.....like the rope should be and i have no idea how to get a closer shot lol........i really suck at makin skins it seems heh, and the picture is gigantic so i didn't wanna make someone mad posting a huge picture..and it ain't done yet thats why i posted it here

Tip for getting close screenshot: Import the sin into a custom map with a chat based trigger as follows:

Event - Chat message = H as substring
Actions - set camera field angle of attack to Substring 3,5

This lets you type in "H 355" and get a REAL low shot, almost even with the ground, from there you move in right next to the target.

And including the portrait is easy, you just select the guy.

PS: Gallery is for unfinished skins too. This place is mostly for asking for help.

thnx i'll do that, and i actually got it to recognize the latest changes i made and it looks decent now all i need to go is get a version of MPQ Viewer that works cause it won't let me save MDX files for some reason
