AR designed this version of Dahaka which I like very much, but what do you all think? Do you think this adequately represents the character Dahaka is? Let me know, as I think it does, but I'd like to know your thoughts.

3.00 Dahaka
Hey all!
AR designed this version of Dahaka which I like very much, but what do you all think? Do you think this adequately represents the character Dahaka is? Let me know, as I think it does, but I'd like to know your thoughts.

[9:43:34 PM] <Dusk@Azeroth> Anyways.
[9:43:37 PM] <Dusk@Azeroth> Dahaka's posted.

[9:44:05 PM] <Loki-The-Hero> WTFPWN
I think he'd be cooler if he had more lighter colors to have a more of an ethereal feel if that was the correct word for it.
The mask is kinda clunky for some reason.

Let's do what comes naturally
I'll be waiting in Haven.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
As far as "adequately representing" Dahaka's character, I really can't say, as I don't know Dahaka's character that well.
However. As far as "looking adequately badass" goes, this most definitely exceeds the criteria, as do all of the other 3.00 skins I've seen so far.
Keep up the awesome work, AR.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
the orange on his head, or at least that shade, throws it off too much. its like "BAM!!!! scamp just blew out of my head"
he is very badass looking.
the ethereal looks a little too clear, and the orange is just a terrible fit for that. keep him solid, maybe lighten the shading of it all a smidge.
basicly, just dont do neon for the hair, it contrasts way to much. blend/match.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
Awesome, but I dont like that bright orange either.
As for the ethereal, meh, I think it'd be fine just normal.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
Honestly, the whole ethereal thing, while cool, doesn't match with the colors, imo. But the normal one is badass.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
I don't like the ethereal thing either; it was just an idea we originally had and then ditched later because it didn't really fit. Sent just asked me to post it.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
I agree with all of the above, a very nice job, but the orange does throw it off.
Read my prose please .

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
Well, first off I'd like to make sure AR knows that I owe him several cookies, for all his wonderful work.
I really do like the skin, there are just a few things that do kinda bug me about it.
First off the hair, It's been said enough but it's just waay too flamboyant. Personally I wanted to see either the mask wrapped around the head, or the cape extended and wrapped behind the mask (so it looks more like a cloak) but apparently neither of those are good solutions. Bottom line, the hair is bright, and it just takes the focus away from his face (where the real awesome is)
Speaking of the face, Is there any way at all to fix the Omega Symbol on his helmet? (EDIT: It looks much better in the new picture) I know that aparently "The wrap is retarded, but it kinda looks more like a heart than anything. Other than that I really love the face, the mask fits him so well, It's very blended with his skin, but at the same time his eyes stand out against it.
Again, speaking of the cape. The top part of it looks odd, I can't really explain it, It just looks a bit darker, and I don't know, It just doesn't really look like it fits. I cant really explain it further, but I almost wish the entire top part of it was just gone.
Lastly, I just don't really know about the feel of him, It's hard to explain, but the skin tone, and somewhat of the texture just makes me think "banite" I don't know.. .I just imagine him more, alien (in the sense that while he physically exists here, this is not his domain) Bah, it's hard to explain, but it's really just a personal vision of him, and it doesn't really meen anything about his model (dusk's vision is the one that counts)
Honestly, even if nothing changes I love the skin, and as storm pointed out "You won't really be able to notice a lot of that in game anyway", So mostly I'm nitpicking because I know enough about Dahaka, and because I physically can nitpick.
Anyway, Keep up the wonderful work AR, and contact me sometime to redeem your half dozen cookies :p

I weep, I weep at my own idiocy, my favoritism, for the end of an era, the fall of a giant, I weep for the lost souls who rested upon it's shoulders, who found themselves beneath it's girth, for those who stand over the fallen behemoth refusing to let it die, I weep, for all who found safety and comfort in it's shadow and for all who depended on it's watchful gaze, in this world full of malice, in this world full of suffering, chaos and hatred... I weep

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
Everything is awesome.
(Except that weirdy orange stuff.)

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
still neon.
but the symbol now looks GREAT.
the lower sections of each chunk do a better job at making a non eye-assaulting blend/shade of colors, but the tips are too bright. the brighter lines eat away at the darker ones and over power them.
portrait level, these things can reach a happier medium easier, but "in game" distance he would still have an orange hunting hat on. it would glow too much. like, orange sun on maroon tapestry, you cant stop from staring there or constantly coming back to it.

Re: 3.00 Dahaka
I kinda like his hair. Even gods can be in fashion, no?
Also, that reminds me of the Netherblade Facemask from wow
http://upload.wowhead.com/images/screenshots/73154.jpg
needless to say that this is a win. There was a meme where everyone would spam the item's name for no reason. I don't quite get that, but it's epic anyway.
