We are in the middle of the competition and you can not just change the rules.
As much as I can see we have: 3 Horse, 5 Rook, 4 Queen, 4 Bishop, 3 King, 4 Pawn entry's.

I do not agree with criteria change.

 

[Kitabatake]

Currently working on animations.


Also, I agree with the criteria tweaks.

 

[Deolrin]

Meh. Once again, I find myself in lack of ideas to join the competition.

Since no one offered yet(and only because of that), I'd like to be written as a judge. If out of the blue three people show up and say they want to judge, I have no problems with not judging.

 

[epsilon]

I agree with new criteria..

if everyone participating is asked about and agree, obviously we can change it. i wasn't going to do a "majority wins" thing. that would be unfair.

i dont see the relation of your position and the statistics you mentioned though. creativity isn't related to "how many of the kind are being made" but concept work quality/consistency

anyhow.... it's ok. the criteria won't be changed

*sobs*
Anyway, bishop could also be a Paladin/Magic Knight/Death Knight.

 

[Gen Bloodhorn]

i wish somebody will make a pawn model because most models are
Top 4:
1.Horse
2.rook
3.queen
4.bishop
not yet seen
5.king (i thought i saw a king earlier,nahh,just gonna put it here)
6.pawn

and also, can anybody make chess tiles?

 

[Skycraft]

People will make what they want to make, this isn't the place to ask for requests.
And you shouldn't double post.

:3

And yes someone is doing a pawn - ike_ike is.
A very SEXY pawn.

I would make that but this is not a request area dude o.0

 

[Dionesiist]

LESS TALK MORE MODEL

 

[Wazzz]

i see a GEROMY behind the rook

very nice, keep it up

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I have decided that wishy-washy, haphazard Warcraft style doesn't suit me at all and am shifting to a more brutalist, slightly Aztec, style.

Haven't the faintest idea where I'll get textures to support this, but I'm not concerned about that now. I'll maybe have a rook around the internet for some free stock stone pictures.

Hidden

 

[Dionesiist]

Wouldn't Sunken Ruins Doodad textures work?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Wouldn't Sunken Ruins Doodad textures work?

Yes and I am a total dildo for not thinking that.

 

[Dionesiist]

Woop, model is done I guess. Not happy with it, but then again when am I ever happy.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Apart from the Sunken Ruins textures missing an arch like the town hall so I can make the pylons look like towers, they seem to be rooking fine.

Almost completely re-modelled the head, not sure if I want to stick with the visor and glow it up or pull the brow down into a frown in the middle and go for Metal Sonic eyes.

There will no doubt be many more changes when I get it posed and go into the animations.

I think I will make some shitty talentless recolours of the textures involved so he can be black or white rook.

r u rooking 4 me?

Woop, model is done I guess. Not happy with it, but then again when am I ever happy.

Are those giant arms earrings?

 

[Dionesiist]

No, they're attached to her hair while simultaneously floating.
You could give your model one giant eye, a play on the expression "cyclopean".

 

[HappyCockroach]

you dont need to actually paint your model white or black to make it reference the chess piece of that color



btw


some brainstorming before texturing

guess ill go for a more savage look... with not much jewerly/clothing

 

[darkdeathknight]

Woop, model is done I guess. Not happy with it, but then again when am I ever happy.

Are those arms floating or stuck on the horns? Cant really know for sure from the angle.

 

[Dionesiist]

It's hair.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Oh. The Model changed completely then.

 

[A.R.]

RDZ: Don't forget the Night Elf TFT campaign screen textures, there's bound to be a decent amount nice Aztec stone-y bits there as well.

This theme is pretty sweet, if only I can get off my arse and make something before the deadline

 

[Arisato]

Uhh Dionesiist
it looks creepy to me, that must be for the black piece ?
The mesh is great though

 

[eubz]

OK, I have come up with my model and my white pawn will be based on a footman.
Here's my first ever WIP

WIP 1

WIP 2

 

[Arisato]

@eubz:
That thing looks fine, but you should fine another texture since it's plain white

 

[Dionesiist]

I would've saved myself a lot of trouble had I not shift+del'd the first model in a fit of rage. But meh, why not texture the same thing several times.

 

[The Weird Human]

Its kinda hard to find good black textures these days, i was going for the black castle robot approach but i think i like the way this guy came out. Now iam adding features to make it more of a dark king.

 

[Wandering Soul]

My second WIP

Here's the second WIP...
The model now have a Double-end Lance and a Shield...
Now entering animation phase...

 

[HappyCockroach]

@wandering soul: that's really cool

btw, another shitty drawing.
decided upon this look to make the texture...


(red is teamcolor)

since it is symmetric i redid the wrap to halve the work and double the res

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Lol! The underbelly is an unhappy face.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Lol! The underbelly is an unhappy face.

actually the top of the spider's belly.. that is a top view

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Ah, now that you pointed it out and I'm paying more attention I see that it's the top.

 

[darkdeathknight]

@Wandering Soul
That looks awesome. Just not liking the double-lance cos it seems pretty useless in a real battle.
But still, my fav model for this contest so far.

@HappyCockroach
Why don't you make the TC look like a skull or something? That would be cool
Like these thingos

 

[Arisato]

That horseman is freakin awesome!

 

[eubz]

This will be my final entry...

ENTRY

IN GAME

Don't know if you'll like this one. It really comes from my hardest work...

 

[Arisato]

Don't know if you'll like this one. It really comes from my hardest work...

And that cape looks boxy, that's the last thing that made me went

The helmet is good, the armor is good

[Dionesiist]

Eubz, could you perhaps make your screenshot a bit smaller? It's too big to see anything on it.

 

[epsilon]

4th WIP

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I... uhh... rockets, on his back... umm... hmm...

 

[Tarrasque]

Ill be doing a rook. I was thinking white like an ice bear with blue stripes, not sure yet.

 

[eubz]

Eubz, could you perhaps make your screenshot a bit smaller? It's too big to see anything on it.

Can't upload heavy pictures. I always get Service Unavailable. Sorry.

 

[Deolrin]

How is a bear supposed to be a rook?

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh don't you start.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

cos it is big and heavy and sturdy? like a wall? as in. he is not taking the theme literally?
you know. imagination/creativity?

 

[Arisato]

How is a bear supposed to be a rook?

It look beary good

 

[HappyCockroach]

How is a bear supposed to be a rook?

Oh god. should I take you away from the judge list?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

How is a bear supposed to be a rook?

it's.... it's a lion.

 

[Deolrin]

Oh god. should I take you away from the judge list?

I'm... Sorry? D:
I understand that it's all about artistic representation and such, but... This seems to be stretching it a bit too far? I have nothing against it, Jigrael's models are wonderful, and I can see why it would correspond with a Rook; But I mean, this is like making a werewolf and calling it a Knight because they both resemble animals.

Although, I admit I didn't really make the connection between "strong, firm" etc and a rook at first because I was slightly tired.
Moving on please?
