I agree, there are as many opinions as there are people, but I wanted to talk about this infamous "re-skinning." As far as I know, it's impossible to create conceptually new heroes here (in Heroes 5). I'm working on modeling for Warcraft 3 (it's fundamentally different), but I wanted to point out that even the developers weren't afraid to use this very "re-skinning" for their heroes (Shadia sends her regards). If you unfold her texture, you can see the familiar Dusk Witch, and even a novice in Heroes 5 like me managed to put it on the same witch with simple manipulations in Photoshop in 15 minutes. So why not do the same? Sure, the hero will "look like" a unit, but that doesn't mean he won't be different. You can create a truly unique hero (considering one hero per patch, 1-2 months). I see you're making heroes, creating icons and unique abilities for them (you're doing great in this), but they're all clones, just copies of each other. Doesn't a hero deserve his own model? After all, it's a hero, not a cloned "jerk" on a dead horse where it's unclear whether it's a man or a woman. Take the Swamp Witch, recolor her, and remove the rudimentary spikes and needles – that would be a "re-skin," but wouldn't anyone mind working on her geometry? Put her on a mount, and finally, surpass yourself and create a decent animation for shooting a bow. I think you're capable of that, and then the project will truly be unique and have no analogues. This also applies to heroes of other factions; there is plenty of room for imagination; all that's needed is the desire to create magnificent models.
Maybe the work will be useful ;)
It's unlikely that psatkha will bother with a female elf model. As far as I know, it's quite complicated there.
