Laying in color palatte (mostly at the shadow level, not pure local). Sort of confused about what local color the ball gems should be . . .. I tried the bright fel green, but it felt off . . . Anyone else have any critiques about this at a color level?
It's kinda changed from the typical Gnome-y engineer to like . . . a Blood elf War Machine forger, someone who constructs all the ballistae, arcane golems (hammer and chisels), and does combat support when possible (Petal mortat).

It feels like I'm henpecking at this, not sure if I'm at the point where I need to decide to stop "rendering." Unless there's actually more to do? Didn't work on this for two days, took an unwilling break, took care of other things on the agenda. @artquest, Snader & Stvv: tried to do what I can to implement your feedback.…
Glad it helped! It's looking great so far. Keep it up man, I'm rooting for ya! Can you post an image of the actual B&W alpha mask that you painted? That's where most of the magic happens when it comes to hair. Also you'll notice that the pandas in WoW use poly hair and have ditched alpha. I Know that isn't an option for…
