"All Greeks know what is right, but only the Spartans do it."
"Spartans do not fear death"

The Spartan warriors of the Greek city-state Sparta were legendary fighters. No Spartan fears death, from the noble warriors of the Battle of Thermopylae, to their legendary namesakes.

This skin was originally made for a 3 on 3 skin battle.

Skin Details:
This skin is fully shaded, and took several days to make.
It is based off of several images and paintings of Greek Spartans, combining elements from them for a general appearance. It is far from perfect, however the shading (especially on the armor) turned out better than I expected. The skin was by far the hardest part to shade, flesh being difficult especially on an arm.

Nice skin, but I don't understand why it should be yellow...

Unfortunately I know little about the historic Greek Spartans and their actual appearance. The coloration of the skin is due to the reference picture i used. I have a feeling it was supposed to be either brass or gold painted armor.

Hahah okay, but since I'm colourblind it looks like weird green to me, that's probably the cause... Anyway sorry IF you felt offended, nice skin! :)

well i'm not really sure what kind of advice you are looking for. but for starters, making teen hoodie skins, mob based skins, and anything else extremely common (unless you can do it in an incredibly creative way, or have phenomenal shading) will not go over well.
I also recommend you do not use noise, something you appear to use for hair and the pants. (its more of an issue with the pants).
Beyond that, your skin reflects that you are a beginner, there are wrapping problems (especially with brightness) as well as the general unoriginality of the skin.
sorry if this seems harsh, but i'm a harsh (and experienced) critic, especially in skin technique.
