you should make the yellow lights glow like klasnic does with some of his skins. that would pull that skin off alot better.

I'll try to make the glow effect (since I have the TC, runes and Alpha channel, it won't be a terrible problem). For now I submitted the Ancient Magician to SkinCity. I'll start testing some glow effects and then submit the second and improved version.
In the meantime, I left three pics so you can see a little the tiny effect of runes running through his body.

Great stuff.. I like the Nordic rune effect... can't wait to see them glowing. ^_~
By the way, did you put any messages on him? Some of us can read that suff y'know.. as much as anyone can these days. Its hard to tell in the pictures though, I picked up "Arcr" off his leg. =P

In the next version (Orc Avatar, basically the same but runes applied to another skaarj) I'll add the glow effect. The runes say something but due to some problems at the moment of fitting them correctly in the skin I have to remove some letters and the sense was lost. Don't worry, the next time I'll add some messages for those who like secrets 
Basically the message was: "He, who has the power to defy enemies has the power to travel past the years directly to eternity", The Helios.
I used the keyboard default options to make the message, not something like the Mode of Beleriand or Tengwar/Tethar thingies (which must be used with Tengwar fonts... in my next skin ).
URGENT REQUEST: >>If anyone can guide or explain me how to get the glow effect (I tried but only get crashes) I will be really grateful. Basically I want to apply it only on the runes/letters NOT the whole body (I don't want a lighter).

That's what I'm trying to do, Titan . The next release (Orc Avatar) will have the glowing stuff and better make off on TC (I just didn't have time now to pass the brush). Besides, I started my searchs for a good tut about glowing effects... Klasnic, you have left right when I need you

That's what Helios' Orc needs. :tup:
Ya know, with the design of the ECE Necris and the glow shader, one can easily turn him into a jogger.

There are no secrets.
This is a basic usage of "SelfIllumination".
However, "SelfIllumination" does not illuminate.
"SelfIllumination" is the effect which keeps the brightness of color original in the place where the lights do not illuminate it.
So, first of all, you need to draw the picture that seems glowing.
The rex explained how to draw it in a reply before.
However, if you use "layer style", you can draw it more easily.
Make the glowing part in the separated layer.
Next, make a alpha cannel for "SelfIlluminateionMask".
Make a black layer and set the layers that only the glowing parts can be seen.
Then, make the alpha channel from it.
And. ajjust the levels of brightness and contrast of the alpha channel.
Adjust the parts to glow become white.
The rest, set the same texture which add the glowing parts to "Diffuse" and "SelfIllumination", and set the texture which has alpha channel for glowing to "SelfIllminationMask".
(By the appended texture, in order to make easily to understand, the textures which are different in "SelfIllumination" and "SelfIllminationMask" are used.
If the basic texture has the alpha channel for mask, you can set the same texture to "SelfIllumination" and "SelfIlluminationMask".)

Thanks, Hide! You are the best! 
BTW, how can I PM you? You seem to don't have that option enabled... And I really want to comment a few things.
