Just realized that I've misspelled "marchwarden" in the render... But I won't edit it... It'll be fine...

Bare with me and my sleepyness

[Lauri]

all looking very good, only, I feel that Dains helmet is a bit lame... afterall, he IS a king

I feel that Dains helmet is a bit lame...

well i am not completly satisfied with the helmet too, but i am not sure what to make with it to make it look better for now.

[N19HtmAr3]

Well im loving the elven stuff But to be honest I think dain's texture looks a little "semi real"

Im especially lovin the galadhrim! Mate they're awesome!

Why thank you...

Doesn't seem anyone else thinks the same though ... Or maybe we're just not visited by all

Whatever, we'll try to keep this topic updated anyway...

The elves look great, and I'm very VERY happy to see some model/skin variations creeping their way in . Only complaint I have about them would be their hair colour.

Dain looks very nice, although the runes seem to become a bit blurred and streteched at some places.

Brand also looks good, although some of the textures seem to overlap each other where they shouldn't. His face also makes him look a bit stoned, although that may just be the angle

What about it?

No, but actually I'm having random haircolor too... But I was too lazy fix that when I making the renders... So, there is this blonde, and then some sort of dark brownish... And then, at least for the Rivendell Elves (working on them) there's a black haired one too...

[zimoo]

Ah ok, that's much better now . I just dislike it when people think every single elf is blonde.

I would suggest white/silver as another alternative hair colour, but I'd imagine that'd look very bad ingame :(

[N19HtmAr3]

Yeah, but I can try it out though

[Master Windu]

I might be mistaken but is Dain completely copied from RA's Dain concept?

Please forgive me if i'm wrong in some way.

I could be mistaken as well but it appears as though actual elements from Dain's blog post was directly copied and pasted into a new skin utilizing the texture's Dain created; which are his intellectually property and are so the rightful ownership of his person

Please review copyright laws on the net, if this is the case; as legal action can and should be pursued.

[Nertea]

Gotta apologize a bit here for certain RA members...

That is Games Workshop's Dain concept, not Dain's Dain.

None of that skin appears copied in the least... sheesh people, go look at the other Dain first.

thanks Nertea.

i really wouldlike to know what parts of this skin looks copied

[zimoo]

I personally don't think any of it looks copied. The general concept is clearly very similar to Dain's, but other than that it looks quite different

[Phil]

I'm happy that this has cleared up. I'm not the skinner here, but I can assure you, cahik would never ever steal any skins from someone else.
As for the whole thing, mistakes can happen, no problem.
But I don't like it when I'm taken for an idiot. We do know what copyright is, there's absolutely no need to point us to some stupid wikipedia article. And please don't play the lawyer here, legal action should and will not be pursued in this case.

Thanks again to Nertea for clearing it up.

Have a nice day,
DLotS

[Master Windu]

The fault is mine, I'm sorry for starting this, cahik did nothing wrong. Good work guys, and I hope you can forgive me for accusing you, cahik.

Absolutely awesome... glad you posted that.
