Texturing Contest #16 - Nature

[RED BARON]

Red Shift - Thats a bloody nice concept and seems to be well executed as well. (Oh and I like you first name)

@Everyone: Very early wip.

Yea - It shows Trying to make a woodman or something?

 

[Traxamillion]

awesome concept anti, not sure what it is but I do have a stag helm fetish.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Can anyone tell me if Warden model is taken cos I wanna texture that model

 

[Just_Spectating]

hmm, there's always a faceless model in these contests

 

[Red]

Update if anyone cares... Alpha's a little sloppy and the legs need more work, but hey, it's still WIP and coming along at a good pace.

@ Just_Spectating: The Faceless' UV mapping is laid out very neatly by default, and it can be made to look like just about anything, especially the area under the head, though it's sad it's laid out symmetrically, otherwise I'd REALLY be going ape sh*t on the texture there

PS, If anyone's getting pissed off trying to make bark that looks like bark, I feel your pain...

 

[darkdeathknight]

Of course everyone cares. You're the main attraction here! BTW screw my previous post I ain't joining. I got no ideas
@Red Shift- You should rework the legs to look similar to the arms the top looks epic but as I look down it looks like a different person made it

 

[Red]

It's tricky to get the body as sharp as the head when the head takes up almost half of the image while the other 75% of the body has to compete for the rest of the space ><

Like I said, still working on it

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Epic Texture you made there Red Shift.. yet I suggest you that you make the arms and legs darker.. because it,s almost the same ton as the leather armor the guy is wearing.

 

[Just_Spectating]

alpha skins are a must for this contest



i might do another beastmaster lol

 

[communist_orc]

isn't a fetus man-made

Its kinda woman-made if u ask me...

PS, If anyone's getting pissed off trying to make bark that looks like bark, I feel your pain...

Know your problem... but I have a REALY great stock image of bark here... *snicker*

Bark

 

[Red]

The feedback has helped a ton guys, keep steering me in the right direction!
I've reworked the arms and legs to make them look more uniform and (hopefully) a little more like bark. Also added armor on to his abdomen and thighs.
Watcha think?

@Communist_Orc: lol I was wondering how long it would be before someone posted something like that...

 

[zadelim]

Remade the skin added vine on her breast and some part of body!!

EDIT: This havent update on the skin section

 

[X-OMG-X]

Yea - It shows Trying to make a woodman or something?

Well. It almost dont show anything, but my idea was to make it something muddy/stone/lava creature.

 

[MetalThing]

@Red Shift man thats awesome >.<
Anyway WIP coming (soon )

 

[THE_END]

Zad, I really wanna see you do more with that skin. Right now it's very plain and green

Its great - you actually managed to pull of making it far better than before. Eye droopingly gorgeous skin. :wthumbs_up:

 

[Jacky The turtle]

count me out >,<

 

[zadelim]

The Zad is me right? Just call me Zade the skin I need more work on it. Now it just a mess in the skin. I need better imagination.

Yea thats you... Your also the only one so far that posted a almost green skin. Try to define the different plants/leaves on it some more.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I might make a Old druid that has mushroom that grows on him.. and stuff.. like he's more than connected with the nature..

or someshort of Gnome.

 

[RED BARON]

or someshort of Gnome.

Haha, thats one nice joke Golbin I do hope that it was intended.

I am considering something as well.. assuming I can get the alpha to work as I intend.

 

[Stanakin]

I'm considering reskinning the Orc great hall or another building, but those use 2 or 3 textures. Is it allowed to make more than one texture (for one model), and submit it as one entry?

 

[Dionesiist]

Yes, I've done that for the "Opposites" contest and there was no objection.

Can't see why it should be a problem, its still the same model being re-skinned.

 

[MetalThing]

Wipzorz
(Its going to be a nature dragon... i hope ) Im quite new at digital arts
so its not that good looking (Yet...)

Nature Dragon WIP

 

[zadelim]

I see i will get it on!

 

[Just_Spectating]

i got an idea in my head now.


prepare for some W.I.P.s

 

[Kazzo]

Finally i fixed those white spots on the wrap. also i improved the skin added plants to the wood parts i'm thinking in remove some grass parts and changue it to wood+plants will try it

 

[Just_Spectating]

jungle stalker much?

 

[zadelim]

Almost finish! How isit now? I changed TC in flowers and add some flowers! Reduced some greeny things!

 

[Dentothor]

yeah kazzo there is already a nature form of the wendigo known as the jungle stalker :S and that looks like the exact same concept.

k my concepts laid out and im doing the firelord texture into a nature spirit :3
once again im not enering
as i cannot

 

[Kazzo]

Jungle stalker dont like 2 much "natural" it look's like a crazy green big monkey

 

[Red]

If Kazz does it right, his skin can look completely different from the jungle stalkers. Those things are basically wendigos wearing camouflage... Already you can see he's made the face start to look like wood and the rest of the body look leafy. Give him a chance

 

[zadelim]

no respect on me....zzz...im like the deadwood man! only for those great skin. Very bad.

 

[X-OMG-X]

You're not alone. Or. Maybe you are. Cuz your skins is better than mine

 

[Red]

On the contrary Zade, I have nothing but respect for anyone brave enough to put their personal work out for everyone to see. It doesn't matter how your art compares to anyone else's, the fact is that you had the guts to display it here!

Keep kicking ass on that skin! There's still almost a whole month of this competition to go, and I'd be very surprised if someone new doesn't show up and upstage us all

 

[zadelim]

lol, I'm not mean by that. At least, just give some comment when I update it? I'm just need some comment about the update and I can know where my mistake is. At least give comment to me. Not just for others.

 

[Kazzo]

Zadelim,i like your skin and sorry for no comments but you are more skilled in skinning than me and i need somebody comment's to know what to changue or what 2 add.but seriusly your skin look's amazing you changued completly the wrap and for me that's a great job

 

[Red]

Zade, looking at your most recent skin, I really like what you're trying to do with the wing/cape part, that will look awesome once you get the UV wrapping to cooperate.

I'd like to see you rework the face in some way. I think that once you do that, your skin will really distinguish itself.

Dentothor, will you make the firelord's horns into a stag helm? If so, you should inform Traxamillion

 

[Dentothor]

why is that? and i wasnt planning on stag horns, maybe some roots

 

[Red]

not sure what it is but I do have a stag helm fetish.

From a few pages back

 

[Revolve]

Here's my possible entry, WIP, the Spirit of the Woods;

Thinking of making him purely out of wood, stones and boulders, grass and vines.
Tell me what you think so far

 

[Red]

Not a bad start, Revolve. Keep in mind that you are facing a challenge similar to Kazzo- Whereas he's going to have to avoid making a complete remake of the Jungle Stalker, you're going to have to be careful that your skin doesn't just become a Rock Golem with horns.

Though I do really like that rock texture... Keep at it!

 

[Deolrin]

Revolve, I really hate those wooden horns that come out of his purely rock head.

Thanks for replied. I still need it to show more her skin at the model.

Ok, never mind for that. I know you also make your skin like mine skin. Keep going to make. Judge waiting for us.

Thank you
I am not really worried about that tbh, I'm aiming to just let the helmet and the shoulders be of stone, perhaps something more, but most of the body will be of wood. I will do my very best to keep variation, and not really so symmetrical.
And I'll defo make sure ti doesn't look like a Blizzzard-already-made-skin

Edit: Btw, the horns are supposed to look a bit like ivory. I don't know what else I should do with the horns, anyone got some suggestions?

 

[Red]

Carrots. Upward tilting, erect carrots... What...?

 

[Deolrin]

Make his helmet more earth\mud-like to feet the horns more where the horns are connected to the helmet.

 

[M0rbid]

I'm not sure if my idea for the contest is acceptable to call nature, but I hope so: I'm planning to skin a Na'vi from Avatar, because I think these indiginenous humanoids are really one with their nature and are the keepers of the nature, maybe they are the nature itself as they are Pandora in the movie. So that's my idea.
My question is, would it be accepted as a skin for the contest?

 

[RED BARON]

Finally I fixed those white spots on the wrap. I also improved the skin, added plants to the wood parts. I'm thinking of removing some grass parts and change it to wood+plants, will try it

Hmm the grass parts look too much like a plaid for my liking.. Maybe try to define his wood head a bit more as well..
