I did not like the shoulder armour at first when I looked at it, but when I took a closer look, it is now closer to an emblem of a vampire bat and less like a warthog - I actually like it more than the overly huge old one.

I still think there are some areas where the skin can be improved, so I made the suggestion above:

  • Torn cloak surrounding the pillar for better clarity - the pillar stands more out
  • Smaller and sleeker pillar on the back - looks more like a part of the armour rather than an alien object
  • Added claws to the glove on WW's right hand - an homage to the old skin and an iconic part of it (please add them, Riot!)
  • The helmet now guards the base of WW's ears and creates a horn-like appearance, closer to the old helmet

Please feel free to leave a comment. I might improve or experiment more with the edit based on your wishes :)

I agree with this I feel the removal of the claws was unnecessary especially this is the one skin that doesn't accentuate war wicks deformed hand, also his ears are really goddamn distracting and I don't know why they really should be covered in this skin.

I very much like these changes, Marauder Warwick was my favorite skin for WW since it's release, and the spur claws were always one of the best parts of the skin IMO. Even though I agree with Monado that the back part is now core to Warwick's theme, I prefer your version. (I never liked the back vial anyway :P)

glad im not the only one who hates the back, it did not transfer to other skins well

+1 for double claw

I like the helmet change.

I think you gotta give up on the back thingy, that's gotta be there on every skin

He isn't removing it, just making it smaller. Though it will definitely have to stand out for clarity.

Smaller pillar is meh, because the huge thing on his back is a staple of the new Warick.

Every other change, though, I can get behind. Looks great! +1

This plus hiding the ears and giving the red cloak back and it'd be perfect.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Made a new edit where the object on his back is now one piece instead of two and is a bit shorter.

Marauder was my favorite of Warwick old models and while the new marauder skin is still an improvement (because Warwick rig was atrocious) this is now one of his weaker skins compared to the other updates

I like ur changes a lot especially to the helm

I wonder what your second design would look like if you reversed the direction of the horns on the back.

I actually find it a bit more menacing.

Really, the only change the need to do is to change his fur colour to match the milky white parts of the pelt on the armour so that it looks like it is part of him instead.
