Here we have a remix on a competition entry from Darkfang, let's jump straight in:
The Good:
In terms of the theme this is a vast improvement on the original assassin texture imo. The original is quite bad and this is a definite step up.
The details are immaculate, we've got the star pattern on the cape, lots of swirls and patterning across the legs, the armour, the hair etc. I also like the nice touch of the throwing daggers strapped to the leg.
In terms of colour choice, whilst the original lacked in variation, this one I think strikes a good balance, the gold offsets nicely the dark blues and purples. And the subtle difference in tone between the skin and armour etc works well.
I also appreciate the inclusion of TC.
In terms of highlights and shading they're both present and very Warcraft-y in their execution especially when looking at the gold sections.
Overall a very nice texture.
Areas for Improvement:
The belly section looks a little weird to me. I'm not sure what it is, I can see how the highlights and shadows are creating the correct shapes but maybe they're a little harsh and the highlight on the "wings" of the belly need to be a different shade.
Conclusion:
A very nice texture that will be useful for anyone looking to replace the original Warden/Assassin unit with something better looking. Easily approved as Recommended!
