Hello everyone!
This skin is based on the Alphyn, a mythical heraldic creature! Yes, I (almost) plagiarized that from Wikipedia.
Please keep in mind that the helmet texture is closer in the actual game, so it does look like hair.
I chose this creature because I desired to make something both unique and interesting, as well as something that most people have not heard of before. The alphyn was also similar to my original idea of Fenrir both in terms of design and of origins (Alphyn is derived from the Germanic word for "wolf").
Although I hate asking for it...
Any support by giving Diamonds and Downloading would be amazing!
The skin is loosely based on this image:
I choose to keep the general color scheme, as it worked well. Instead of fur and goat hooves for the legs, I decided to match them with the arms, and make them resemble a dragon's legs. For the chest, I choose to have a "dragon's" chest as well to add some detail instead of the otherwise "same-thing-over-and-over" fur. For the head, I added goat's horns on the sides, and added some extra detail by adding fur in the helmet layer. As for the arms, I'm still not completely happy with how the scale-plates look, but I don't have any better ideas about them currently, so they're there to stay, for now.
Anyway... thanks DarrkestDrow from DeviantArt!
Also, thanks to the Mithrintia Server, for putting up with: "Does this look good?" every 5 minutes.
