Moloch

~The Moloch~
This is a skin I made for the Texturing Competition #3 at the Hive, using the Tichondrius model (Dreadlord's portrait sucks, trust me)
The goal of the competition was skinning something into a demon.
Path is: "units\Undead\Tichondrius\Tichondrius.blp"
Enjoy and give credit where it is due.
EDIT: Thanks to Denu for the in-game screenie :)

His demon skin (where it appears; mostly on his arms) lacks contrast and detail. His chest area looks weird too, and as far as I've dabbled, I think Dreadlord's chest is possible to wrap around in a better job instead some stretched fur tex.

However, I love the wings.

Hey, it's not my fault Blizzard made a fucked up wrap...

But it's your job as a skinner to make the best of what you are given.
I don't think you've quite done that here.

Keep up the practice though, it's a good attempt.

Okay, what exactly do you find wrong about it?

Heres an ingame:

Thanks :)

Hmm, it's done fairly well I think.
Although a bit messy at some spots.

Maybe try and remove the green (runes?) things below he's eyes, and at the chest & arms.
The shoulder pads needs some adsjustments as well, it needs more decent highlightning & contrast and perhaps you should try to remove the red engravings, runes w/e and replace it with armor that is simillar to he's kneepads.
I like the fury legs and wings, but the rest doesn't really seem to fit him, the head would be much nicer without the green things below he's eyes. Because having them there just makes it look messy and random.

A demon with angelic wings?

Interesting Concept

~Approved~

I think it's fairly good... you've improved a lot

The technique is nice, but I don't actually like the way it turned out, it's too messy.
Oh, btw, is his neck area supposed t be his beard?

In a first context I tried to make it his beard but then it didn't work, so I just left it as chest hair...

totally badass, in everyway


and i disagree with alot of the other people, i find that what they refer to as "messy skinning" is a perfect representation of chaos and evil.

and i really like the eye runes
