Made for Skinning Contest #2 over at The Hive

What I said on The Hive

Damn..not sure I saw that post hahah

the squareness of her chest is rather horrible.
her look is strange... the eyes and eyebrow seem so distant from each other... its creepy.

And the squareness of the chest is the model
Please if you think it is.."so square"
Then play with the model a little, you will see the problem
The face wrap is also horrendous, so don't even think you can make her "sexy"

The fishnets have to go. Why would an assassin wear fishnets, pray tell?

After looking at the skin, I don't think the squareness on her chest is just the model. I think what realy gives the 'squareness effect,' is how the top of her chest armor is straight across, and how the sides go straight down. Also the bottom of the chest armor, referring to what covers her boobs, is rather flat. Make more of a circular shape with no straight edges what so ever.

The shading on the cap should not be all the same lightness all the way down. Some parts, usually the bottom, would be overall darker.

Again on her legs, the shading is the same all the way down. It's like a highlight just in a straight line down her legs. Infact, this is pretty much how you shaded the entire body. Some parts should be darker in general than others, that's how these things work.

the sunken look to her face and the black hair (all bloodelves are blonde or on occasion silver haired) makes her look too old

O rly?



Texture by Herio-San, strictly an example.

As you can see, the face wrap is not impossible to work with.


How are these square in the least?



Just work with it more, experiment I suppose.

I like how everyone has the urge to rip him a new asshole here.
Pro example of wc3c help quality.

EDIT:
I can't figure out what the thing on her belly button is.
Is that a belly button ring or a tattoo or something else?

I'm just giving my honest criticism. Does him no good when I just say "Awesome! Nice work!" when I really think there is room for major improvement.

It's one thing to give criticism and suggestions.
It's another to belittle his work and act condescending all under the guise of "critique."
Everything's in the wording.


On a lighter note, just give this a try.
You see my horribly MSPainted over red lines?
Try shading the red up to those lines and check it out on the model.
I'm fairly sure you'll be pleasantly surprised how much better it looks.

Will do Dusk
Thanks

also, see my blue lines? maybe you could bring her cleavage up to about there, and try to lighten the area above them as well to make them look less like spheres jutting out off her chest. that might also help to make her chest a bit less square

aside from that, shes shaping up nicely

This looks like a fun skin to do. The_End, do you mind if i take a shot at it based on your skin?

Sure man why not
