Texturing Competition #2

The theme for the Texturing Competition #2 is Racial Conversion.

For this competition, you are required to modify the texture of an existing model within Warcraft 3 of either the Human, Orc, Night Elf or Undead race. You must then reskin the choosen model into another concept from any of the 3 other races. (For example, if you choose an Orc unit. Then you must reskin it into one of the 3 other races)

Deadline: The 20th of April 2007 - with possible extension. Winner(s) will be decided by the final votes of a public poll.

Rules and Guidelines:
  • The model must be an existing unit within Warcraft 3 of either the Human, Orc, Night Elf or Undead race.
  • No model edits are permitted.
  • The skin has to be atleast 75% freehand created.
  • You must post at least 1 WIP skin preview before the deadline.
  • To qualify for entry, you must post your .blp and an ingame screenshot.
  • You must post your entry before the deadline expires.
  • You must make the textures for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old skins.
  • Textures must be no larger than 256 pixels in any dimension when submitted as final entry, though you may work in 512 (or higher), but they must be resized down to 256 when submitted.
Prize: +75 Reputation Points & a Special Award Icon.

Grr... You are obnoxious with the 75% freehand stuff... But I'll not flame this thread about it. I'll do it somewhere else, some other time...

Hell, I'm in. Hope I have the time.
I was planning such a project for a while now, but... given the chance...

Tell you what... I'll do a freehand for you and one or more merges for eye candy.
We'll see...

Cheers!

I just have to throw my two cents in.

Why is asking you do do 3/4 of the actual work in an art contest so difficult for people to take in? If it were me, I would have said 100% freehand in both the skinning and icon contests, because it's supposed to be judging artistic skill.

Frankly, because "freehand" associated to a mouse (e.g. not a specific drawing device) is more like a metaphor than effective design. That's my primary point of view - as I cannot currently afford / wouldn't invest right now in a pen tablet.

Please, let's stop this here. I do not want to be accused of flaming or such. I'll make a thread these days somewhere here, on THW. We'll have a more advanced discussion concerning this specific subject there, shall we?

you should really shade the team color a bit and mabye make the beard a bit lighter...
this is only my personal opinion, so do what you like:thumbs_up:

i just wondered: can we skin creeps which is one of the four races like the bandits and stormweaver apprentice?

Edit: forgot to say that the portrait looks really good. like a real zombie:wink:

COUNT ME IN, this time I'll qualify myself !

Good luck in any way :)

I would say no, because they depend in the creep data base and not into the 4 regular races.

EIDT: What about a Team-entry, would it be accepted ?

I assume no. That makes it unfair to those who did it all themselves, and makes it more difficult to give an award.
 
More Restrictions to Consider!

I think there are two things you should address in your rules that are not already included:
-Whether or not you can submit skins for models used by buildings. (We need more of these.)
-Whether or not you can submit skins for models used by campaign units for the four races. (This includes Blood Elf Engineer, Blood Elf Lieutenant, Apprentice Wizard, High Elf Female, sea units, Dark Wizard, Bandit, Medivh, Pack Horse, Black Drake, and Wagon models - and all of these are just human units!)

The point is to produce such skins that would make available a given unit for another race, other than its original race. That's it. At least, that's what I understood.

Concerning the buildings... I think it's at least ambiguous, yes... But I guess we're allowed too (though in the first post "unit" is stated, not "entity" or anything that may include buildings as well).

Concerning the campaign units. They are just units. You could make anyone available for other races - though I doubt you can make a Medivh for Orcs. A Captain, on the other hand, may be reworked for both NightElf and Undead (I do not see it as Orc, but...).


Yo, Burned: Demons have black eyes (not the iris, but the sclera), while Zombies are associated to white eyes - meaning no colour for the iris. You left your skin with defined eyes in the portrait, yet white in the skin (or is it blinking).

LOL! That looks funny. Whats Wrong with the eyes?

there are some white dots there. it may not nook that bad on the screenie i posted here, but it looks really weird when he's turning around and such...

it looks more like a zombie because of the skin tone and his lips.

i know, hes supposed to be like a grumpy, old and really crazy guy.
what do you suggest that i do with the skin tone and the lips?

Well, I think it'll be accepted, maybe two things to change ?
1. The hair looks like a green surface, like a cape and less like hair, I do not mean the beard.
2. Maybe make the skin brighter, so it fits better with the nightelf skin.

Positive I never seen any transforming of the Death Knight into anything with nightelf, not easy but you pretty made it.

Difficult to beat this, I start right now ?

Good so far. I would suggest changing the eagles and other beasts to skulls. Skulls are a trademark of the Undead. Other than this.... Tomorrow... :p

Don't forget to add an ingame screenie so we could see the effects of your skin.
