I guess I'll join up for the competition, a custom icon doesn't really tempt me a lot.

Just to clarify, are we designing units that are not already planned, but that suits the storyline/age/theme of the mod?

ummm.... isn't the point of concept art to make new concepts? .... Why the hell would you want to draw a pre-existing unit? That isn't concept art, that's fanart

I was more thinking of a description of a unit, that it is already in the techtree for instance, not that the concept art is already done. Either way, it's been clarified, and I'll be drawing something new, hopefully original and suitable for the storyline.

Started early sketch just to get my concept down using pencil - this picture was taken via cell phone camera so as you can see the quality (and lighting) are pretty bad. I think I'm going to draw out my picture, then scan it, then trace it in gimp and color it via comp, hopefully that method should work.

(also it seems like the image was "bent" when the picture was taken, my lines are straighter then that in a few places)

My idea is an Orcish (or Goblin, whatever works) Airship - literally Air Ship.
It's supposed to be a war cruiser repurposed for aerial combat and would function like an aerial aircraft carrier, carrying smaller ships in it which would fly out via opening slots in the hull.

eh, not very good drawing but it's a start


(I'm assuming tracing your own image is fine)

Could you allow me to be a judge?
This is merely a subscribing if you don't, because I have to see what the icons will look like.
 
I'm in... that will actually push me to make a complete digital art for once..

now tell me. I've read your thread http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/starcraft-ii-408/wc4-sc2-165515/

basicly when you are talking about Concept, you are looking for new look of possible units/heros/buildings after the ending of warcraft3 ? sooo... basicly every race looks the same, we just need to find new ''looks'' ?
 
Mostly, yeah. of course theres more information at www.wc4sc2.tk (the threads a bit outdated atm.

there are some new races the outland (naga, belfs, and (mainly 'eredar' draenai))
and the demons... not to sure about them yet. recently scrapped their techtree. but some concepts will remain. (e.g. the 'nodes' and somesuch for buildings.) and the 'Dhom'Kavosh' (think warhammer 'bloodletters' with wings and fire coming out of their bodies)

Thats rly about all you need to know atm... i guess...
