so you scribbled indicepherable runes on top of the skin? way to go...

ok so if your gonna show something atleast do a poor recolor so everyone else can flame you.

But in all seriousness this isnt even really a skin I almost want to say its less then a recolor. Please, PLEASE tell me, this took you under 45 minutes right?

put more time into it and while techniques like shading and adding depth will come I would advise showing things that demonstrate a drastic change from the skin already demonstrated(assuming your not being like the_end and skinning kael into kael)

Maybe try to make it like the demon tanks (the ones you see in the outland tileset).

Sorry, but that's pretty bad.

Try actually painting something, not just CnPing runes and spraying one colour green on it.

While you guys were flaming me, i was experimenting on a darkmetal version, check it out. I alphad out that nasty gryphon head.

It's called constructive critisism, not flaming.

Flaming you? Bah, if you think that's flaming, then you have no hope! It's called criticism, smartass!

Now you're just using contrast and darken tools. You're not skinning right now.

Skinning is completly redoing a single part of a texture. You are using filters and other simple tools. Until you put more effort and time into your work by actually changing the texture, you won't get any better.

It is only black in areas
And the black has no highlights
Make highlights, make all of it black
Base it on that Fel Reaver in Burning Crusade

Heh, first one looks like it ran over a clown.

The tank looks better with the Gryphon head alpha'd though.
