I've seen only one better: Nertea's. Even then, that comes very close. I'd be eager to see what Elendil or Isildur would look like if skinned by you.
I'm creeping, not gone.

I'll stay away from comparing, but your skins are beautiful.

Bah, don't compare them, they're two completely seperate domains in terms of texture resolution and poly count.
I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

Indeed they are.
I decided I wanted to do something completely non-LOTR for a change, so here is my first 100% from scratch (model and skin) unit, the High Elven Swordsman. Note, he's a WIP, as I haven't modeled his sword, shield, helmet, or pauldrons yet .
Hope you like

I like it but the face looks a little creepy 
This face means nothing, these hands hold nothing, these lungs are empty, these eyes are blind

Hands, from what I can see, are awesome; they are not the blocks I'm used to seeing. But seriously, WTF IS WRONG WITH THE FACE!?
Everything but face is of higher quality than your usual skins.

When criticizing, please try to be more specific than "there's something wrong with it" or "it's lower quality than usual." These phrases mean nothing. If I'm to improve, I need to know precisely where I'm going wrong. Is there something wrong with the expression? The shading? The skin tone? This is only the second face I've done from scratch, and I'm more likely to be able to fix it (if, indeed, it needs fixing) if you can tell me what, exactly, is wrong with it.

Also soften out the cheek shadows. I can only assume he wouldn't have large wrinkles? Soften them out make it smoother.

I really like the chestpiece, but IMO the skirt needs ome work. I think it's scale mail, but I'm not sure... the shadows may be a bit too dark and overall too contrasty.

I said that the face looked wierd because I didn't know what was wrong with it but I knew something was

It is scale mail - the scales are quite long and thin, which may give it a slightly odd appearance. I'll see what decreasing the contrast does to it.I really like the chestpiece, but IMO the skirt needs ome work.

I didn't like what decreasing the contrast did 
. Anyway, here's version 2:
Added helmet and pauldrons (these are a separate subobject, so could be revealed only with HA), changed color scheme to better complement the phoenix designs on his chestplate and helmet. Also touched up the face a bit.
All that's left now is sword and shield, then comes rigging, randomizing (he draws from 5 different skins, not including shield so far, so lots of randomization ), and putting ingame .
