I like everything but the face.
It's too harshly shaded and it's just boring.
The headpiece should have mini-crystals each with their own reflective details, not a single light source that doesn't even get shaded correctly over the rest of the face.

I love the entire skin, but that face seriously just kills it for me.
Nice job overall though.

Holy. Crap.

Thats a nice skin!

4/5

Thanks for comments all. Dusk ill keep in mind what you said about the face and try to please you with my next skin. :D

It's not about pleasing me. :P
I'm just not a yes-man who says everything is awesome because it gets approved.
Whether you take my advice or not is clearly up to you. ^_^

When I look at the face, it seems wrong. (I know, very descriptive)
However, I think it's actually the method of shading it mixed with the eyes.
The eyes are dots for all intents and purposes with some 'light' coming out.
Note, if they are radiating light, the darkness that is 50% of his face around the eyes should be lit.
I think that's what really makes it look weird --
The eyes being dots doesn't help it either.

I suggest fixing up that face a bit, it would help a lot with it's usability.
(I mean, the portrait is virtually the most important part of the model)
Just my thoughts, though.

Don't get me wrong, I like it as a whole, I just think leaving it as it is is wasting good potential.

I know what you mean but i just kinda liked the look as it came out. I know contest arnt about pleasing you silly, but you said something that could improve the overall quality of this skin and future ones so i appreciated it. :D If i get sometime between now and the skin im planning then ill fix up the face but dont expect anything immedietlly. Im still debating whether to enter next contest or try to make a skin for ToB cause i have some ideas i want to bring to life that could be useful for them.

And for the record the eyes are little stars if you look at the unwrap. :P

Problem is, its not about the unwrap ;)
