Fallen Desann

Names can be misleading, and this is one perfect example. This skin is supposed to be a fallen Desann, obviously, but I don't see what's 'fallen' about it at all.

Basically, a picture of fire has been plastered onto some of the skin images with the overlay filter setting. A burning pentagram logo has been pasted on the armor, which oddly enough, isn't burned like the rest of Desann. The skin includes the Desann soundset, which was missing in JKA. That's pretty much all there is to this file. That's not to say it totally sucks. Some parts actually look kind of cool, such as the bracer thingy on Desann's right arm. Generally, the whole thing would have been a lot nicer if more work had been put in, and some actual skinning done.

I'd advise the author to do something a bit more complex and interesting for future skins. Just slapping a few layers over the top doesn't really cut it. Adding bot and NPC support would be nice too, as well as team skins. Those little extras really aren't hard to do, and can often mean the difference between a well-received file and a file which just makes everyone sigh and click the next link.

Personally, I prefer the original Desann, but if this is your thing, then hey - who am I to stop you from downloading it?
