-Grendel, it turned out that technically it wasn't the plate on his chest that was being problematic (you know there's like a little kite shield in the normal one that I alphaed out) - the problem was I had also alphaed some of his between shoulders area - take a look at this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/2ndfar/Imlerith1024x1024.jpg What I did to fix it was copy the chest area below that in between area. If you look closely you can see how there's another chest texture over the chest texture area. It seems problematic in War3 Model Editor, since it doesn't match perfectly, but it works well in Warcraft 3 Camera (being viewed from above, it almost aligns with the texture underneath) and besides, no one will really see the problem. And I don't want to fill the area with other textures, I want the chest to be fully visible (that's why I removed the little kite shield area in the first place and alphaed the zone in between the shoulders).
About the helmet I just thought it looks well enough. Although I wish I could make it like in the normal model, the portrait works fine.
JokeMaster, yes that was the initial idea
Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.
Actually it's pretty well made for the Blizzard's original texture, I played around with the shield a lot - removed the skull with horns that is on the > spot you talk about and made the shape from

So it's probably my fault that it looks weird
Thanks to everyone for all these comments ! I'm glad people like it.
I'm open to negative feedback as well though, in fact, I'd love that...

I'm not gonna run :X Lay it down bea.. never mind.
I wonder who will take up the task W.I.S.D.O.M... I wonder who.
Nope. Not gonna be me.
Yea, you brought up an interesting question (at least one that I find curious) - why do resources have to wait until a contest ends before getting approved?
Other than that, I can't answer why it was approved earlier.
It seems to me that looking through resources now saves moderators time? So that they don't have to do it later on? Since contests usually end up hanging around for like a month after they have ended...
Reminds me a lot of him,now that you mention itImlerith from Wiitcher?
