Funny how you just insulted Ike ike.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Funny how you just insulted Ike ike.

nah

i just fancy red shift more (no offense)

 

[Deolrin]

Yeap. You definitely insulted Ike.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

and me slightly

 

[Lmao.Me]

zOmg, dun insult ike_ike, you bastard O,-

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

OK. really. can we stop the "omg such and such is gonna win for sure!" "omg team ????? has this person. they will win for sure".
this is not a horserace, keep your predictions to yourselves

 

[Lmao.Me]

Can't we place bets?
Moar WiPz pl0x? (lol, it's been just 2 days, 1 for most )

 

[tee.dubs]

Who will team with me? You can go ahead and put me on the modeler list if there's room thanks...

 

[Deolrin]

Wrong place to post that tee.dubs.

Early WIP and L0w's already-shown concept:

(Click on it for bigger view)

 

[tee.dubs]

How embarrassing for me, thanks debode

 

[Dentothor]

wow J_S, imagine if we started our General Vezax Project here.
too bad we started it like 3 months ago xP

 

[InfinateAnswers]

That WiP model looks half of what it should be based on the sketch. Its missing the back part of it xD

 

[Deolrin]

For now it's just the roller, the pistons, the wolf and the turret, yes. That's why it's called a work in progress.

 

[HailFireer]

I would join this if I was better. I don't want to fail my partner
Good luck to all the contestants.

 

[Lich Prince]

Is it so? I declare war on you! HA! I'll join the contest then too! I'll make an Hero, carrying 30 hammers, and 1 dagger, make him carry the armor not even nukes can make a scratch, When he burps, it'll create sumthin' like Atomic atmospheric cloud that devours even shit (^^), Archimonde with his Divine armor and powers looks like me singing compared to Benjamin Burnley singing, We'll make the texture be better than the texture my mesh uses in real life, he'll eat thunder, and crap lightning... wait... it's otherwise, eat lightning, and crap thunder. Terminator, Tony Montana, Rocky = pussies compared to this guy, I'll make an animation that rick rolls other units in Warcraft 3...

2.5 seconds later...
Ah... I forgot I don't even know how to animate and make models... And my texturing abilities are... well... humble. I suppose I'll need more practice.

OK. really. can we stop the "omg such and such is gonna win for sure!" "omg team ????? has this person. they will win for sure".
this is not a horserace, keep your predictions to yourselves

zOmg, dun insult ike_ike, you bastard O,-

Funny how you just insulted Ike ike.

Lol?

Anyway, I bet this contest will end up with wicked submissions, judging from the contestant list. Good luck to you all.

 

[Direfury]

Cavman and I might be working together.

We will destroy you all.

 

[Jaret]

We will destroy you all.

Now THAT'S the Spirit!

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Now THAT'S the Spirit!

I will mentally destroy you all

 

[PROXY]

Let's not get offtopic

In that case, I might work together with GnoobSauce, but he didn't write me back yet

 

[Deolrin]

Siege Engine is coming along well.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Nice, it would fit great for a orc seige tank

 

[Deolrin]

Well... It's an elite DWARVEN siege engine. But it will be more obvious with the texture.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

but theres a pig on it >.<

 

[Deolrin]

It's a wolf. ><

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Wolves dont have snouts ><

 

[Kwaliti]

The skin will solve everything. Carry on.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Cavman and I might be working together.

We will destroy you all.

But... you make models... and cavman makes models.... and you need 1 3D artist and 1 2D artist.

 

[PROXY]

Cavman can make textures also. Can he?^^

 

[Deolrin]

Revellion can make nice skins too.

Got a question... Can a 2D artist unwrap(and just unwrap) the model? It will be infinitely more convenient if a person unwraps his own unwrap to work on.

Also, WIP time.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Looking good debode

 

[InfinateAnswers]

So far thats a 16/20. Good job i like where its going =)

 

[Jaret]

Wow, debode, it's looking awesome!

 

[Traxamillion]

we did it just for you lil traxy. :d

<333333

 

[anarchianbedlam]

debode, that is looking really awesome . it kind of reminds me of the wolfhead steamtank from WoW but this one is more heavily armored

 

[Kwaliti]

Yeah, we wanted an elite Siege Engine, and as Siege Engines have animal heads on front, a wolf seemed like a good choice as a pack leader. Anyway...

[anarchianbedlam]

Yea, i guess that's ok with me.

Any objections?

 

[Infinitynexus]

OBJECTION!

Nah, it makes sense that the texture artist is allowed to do his own wrap.

 

[Stanakin]

Can you please change the criteria to something more appropriate? The texture needs to be half of the points, seeing how it's a paired texture/modeling competition, so each person has even point responsibility. Also, can you get rid of the line "...(or how well Blizzard skins have been used)" It doesn't make much sense in this situation.

This.

We should get some amazing models out of this contest considering the teams in the list.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Ya, i'll get to that eventually

 

[skrab]

here is my concept.
I'm waiting for the 2D artists to 100% confirm whether he wants to do the texture. But I think he will drop out..

 

[67chrome]

All right, Don and I decided on doing a barbarian. And not surprisingly from me it's a female (in my defense there are tons of good male barbarians on this site, and i felt like drawing something with boobs).
Warning: concept shows excessive violence and may be offensive to those who are pro-horde.

show the awsomeness

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Wow... Thats hella sick

 

[Lich Prince]

show the awsomeness

67chrome, that is so fucking awesome in so many fucking ways.

<3 Female with Titan's Grip.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Even if u cant 100% recreate that into a model, that will be sick non the less

now thats awesome. Not a lot of female heroes in wc3.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

poor troll... all speared up... lol but it looks awesome ^^

 

[D a w n]

I'm sorry, but I just killed Misha D:
used the campaign bear texture to make the preview better, but also to make modeling easier. 100 faces, but I cannot really lower them.

 

[HappyCockroach]

IMO anarchy's rushing the contests way too much. there should be a recruitment week, or something like that.
I'm still looking for a partner (talking to some hive friends) and got some uni shit to do, and next month begins with the deadline already. :/
then people complain about extensions.
not saying that the contest lasts too little, but the contest intervals are minimum.

 

[67chrome]

here is my concept.
I'm waiting for the 2D artists to 100% confirm whether he wants to do the texture. But I think he will drop out..

Looks cool. Perhaps you should exaggerate some of his body features to make him look more burly though. I'd thicken the arms to about twice their width (perhaps a bit overkill, but if he's a dwarf it's better if he looks really strong). I'd widen his beard and make his feet twice the size as well. Big feet usually always look cool for some reason. I'd make his pimp cane longer to, unless you are going to have his hand rest on top of it. Hope you get a texturing artist to work with you D:

-Edit: Oh ya, and abusing the tone curve /whatever the name of the brightness contrast tool is that shows a manipulable curve is a good way to make your pencil scans to look more epic.

I'm sorry, but I just killed Misha D:

If it's any consolation I was looking at a lot of artwork from Samwise, Ranemane, and Gloweye when I was drawing this and...I may have been looking at a piece dedicated to Misha to get the bear face to look right in a very warcraftish way D:
(I was also sort of thinking of the beastmaster throughout the sketch to XD).

BTW if anyone wants to see some other sketches I did I uploaded some more stuff to my Miscellanious Stuff Album.
