OO I'm smart. It looks like a pure/ghostly evil Demon Hunter, ghostly almost, if you did add strange ghostly sound effects it would be cool. Also its head looks long.
Did you even look at it in-game? Plus this is my first skin and I really don't know how to use gimp. If you could point me to some tutorials on shading it would be appreactied.
I don't think this skin should be used with team color/glow. A screenshot where the demon hunter is owned by a neutral player will probably look better.
one thing you should improve is the skin coloration. You're using highly desaturated colours which are not exactly eye-candy. With it comes the lack of definition: since Wc3 models are low-poly, a large part of the plasticity of models is made by adding depth through shading the skin and brightening up the protruding parts. The blade for example looks like a single blob where it could need a strong highlight to define its shape.
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
