Frost Shaman

This is my first skin i have evermade or even attempted to make(i usually let my brother do the skinning).
So i am what people may call a "nub" at skinning. However, i want to get better at this. So for my map i needed a frost shaman skin. So i decided to try and make my own.
I think this is a decent skin,but since this is my first it is hard to tell since i made it to me it will look better than what it is all the time.
So please anyone leave feedback on how good or crappy this is. or suggestions to make it better; so i may learn from this and become a better skinner.
Thanks

Okay i just updated it . Its brighter now and i added a little more color to some areas. Does it look better now? What should i improve?

Update 11/13/06: I tried to add some shiny spots along with changing or adding a few more things to it: also here is a progress through pics

You have to attach .jpg files, not .tga

You lack observational skills, mister, which has nothing to do with this being your first texture. By that I mean that you made him dark blue. Since when is ice dark blue? That's if that's supposed to be ice on him. If not, I don't know why you called it "Ice" shaman.

And you think wrong, this is not decent it is actually very low quality.

You may feel offended by my direct talk, but I don't care, because I did not mean any offense, I just speak this way. Think of me as a fluffy little bunny who means no harm.

He needs some brighter blue

Hey, who deleted my post?

I did, because you were flaming. Don't do that.

shadowange1, please upload jpg's, not tga's.

Oh, really now, you guys have started to search for any single reason to bad rep me again... makes me sad :"(

people who flame without reason doesnt deserve rep

Let's not go off topic here, ok?

Dio...first of all, you shouldn't have flamed. What the hell were you expecting? And secondly, I don't get it why you make this all about yourself...You think everyone is trying to act mean to you. Oh, I forgot, it's typical for the age. Yeah. You don't realize this now, but in 3 or 4 years you'll be cured of this.

Now please, no more off-topic.

Thanks for your the post TDR and others. I dont take what you said to the "Butt" btw i actually really appreciate it. its HELPFUL. I will make this skin lighter and put new pics.

edit: Just put new pic
Please feel free to say reasonable things

Well it is a little better, but keep in mind that ice is also glossy. So make it more reflective.

As in glossy/reflective do you mean adding shiny spotsto it?

yes. Look at some photos of ice and study them.

I think the skin would work in a map like it is but maybe that's just me.

I feel offended.

You'll also have to fix things like the picture I attached. Add some shading and definition to clean up spots like that, don't keep it all the same shade/color just plastered on.

I agree with SeruK. TDR all 14-year-olds are not like that:P
