thoughts on first skin?

my first attempt at skinning, minor changes to chaos blade master, didnt like necklace or the fact that they are supposed to be barbarians yet still have a perfect banner :P team colour is on the inside of the circle. skin is brownish because im going to use this in my campaign.
suggestions will be welcome :D

Looks like he favors Iodine

Analysis

I don't really know, I can't tell much from the current angel, if you could please snap a direct angel straight from front and back, then I could judge much better. From the looks of it, you should change up the sword a bit, I think you should add a bit of barbaric blood, take away the circle and replace it with some sign of hate, war, war an blood, perhaps an eye with blood streaks? Also, you should use the Dodge tool to brighten the skin, keep toggling and you will eventually get a human skin, if you wanted it easier, then just use a basic whitish-pink(Use the eye-dropper on a preset human face, and use the burn tool for shading where needed). I like how you more-so made the flag barbaric, thick threaded. Also, I can tell you know how to alpha, so if hes a barbarian, you might want to alpha out the beard, it just takes away the ruthless barbaric fear that a warrior strikes into its enemies. Try and dull the blade a bit and take away the Zig-zag and blackness with simple paintbrush skills, i don't think someone ruthless with a bloodlust for everything including nail-clippers would take the time for paint a zig-zag on his blade, possibly add some battle scars, and using alpha channels you should also make the flag look a bit shredded. Thats all I have to say from this point of view, but if you were trying to make him human in the first place, I suggest alpha-ing out the fangs and giving him eyebrows, definantly alhpa out the beard, and change his eyes to more humanish, smudge his nose with low pixels, and then I'll see what advice I can spare.

the onyl reason ive got team colour in the circle is because it makes it easier to recognize the team, though he will always be on the same team so i can omit that. but its a moon, representing night, darkness, and sleep which they cherish. and i get what you're saying, i want the skin really dark (very dark brown) but that doesnt really work well i dont think. they are supposed to be an ancient race of humans that hard dark skin and were the noblest of them all. then a dark god took them and turned them into evil, so its supposed to be dark, evil, and noble. it's my first skin ever so thanks for feedback
edit: hmm suppose my sig is out of date... also, how do i get a close picture from the front/back?

Barbarians were never evil, they had a bloodlust, barbarians were loners who had no family, nor friends, so they joined into clans to battle eachother. The clans only battled eachother, but never harmed innocents. They roughed it, but they were far from evil.

err it would have helped to mention this isnt set in the worlds of warcraft :ggani:

I'm not talking about Warcraft I'm talking about reality dammit. Can't people ever be mature?

im not sure if thats a joke or...

Its not a joke. When I joke its usually funny, I hardly ever joke.

hate to break it to you, but Orcs aren't real and this is a FANTASY world. since its FANTASY i could make ogres look like fairies (but who know shwo they look because they aren't real either) and nobody could complain because ogres aren't real.
edit: sorry don't wanna turn this into a flame war, but how do i "alpha" out the beard? i figured out how to get rid of the necklace but taking out the beard would leave a slightly deformed face wouldn't it?
