[Deolrin]

Awesome. I'm not sure if I'm up for it, as the theme is quite the challenging one, especially for a mere beginner like me. Although if I will indeed join, I'm quite certain I'll make a model edit, as I didn't really try modeling anything non-attachment in Milkshape yet...

 

[Joe-black-5]

waiting to see new epic models, hope to see some director's cut models after this contest.

 

[The Panda]

Lol, this seems fun ~ good luck towards the contestants.

 

[Traxamillion]

Perfect opportunity to see a Dire Troll model.

 

[D a w n]

I think I will join. Will do some Nerubian monster I guess........

 

[Palaslayer]

awesome theme!

 

[Slaydon]

sounds interesting

 

[HailFireer]

I would like to join in, but I think I can't make anything epic.

So, can I be the judge ?

 

[Pyritie]

Perfect opportunity to see a Dire Troll model.

I don't really think a dire troll would count as a colossus. idk

 

[Traxamillion]

dire troll = colossal troll

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

a big mother of a dire troll

cool.. its up to december 2nd. plenty of time after the exams considering that i wont be sleeping after exams

 

[FrIkY]

Alright... let's see some epicness!!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

FINALLY!! BWAHAHAAAA
I shall join and my creation will be so epic, so utterly incredible. SO COLOSSAL. That the very foundations of the hive shall tear itself asunder at the mere though of a kickass model of such magnitude. YE BE WARNED!

*laughs maniacally as he walks off into the distance with the swoosh of a black cape*

 

[tee.dubs]

I'm so in this time, maybe a (goliath) goliath beetle or something.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Have I told what titan-sized humanoid I'm going to make?
No? Good. I'm not telling you until I show some progress.

 

[Mr. Bob]

OH GOSH YES..

So, being as how the theme is what it is, can I make a colossal structure? It doesn't just have to be a biped unit does it?

Because, I could try modeling an entire medieval city....

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

if it can be a unit...yeah

 

[Mr. Bob]

if it can be a unit...yeah

Giant city it is then!

 

[Xatoga]

Lol. Make an entire army or troops that all moves as one unit.

I dont have Wc3 on my schooly laptop but I did download milkshape recently. This looks like it could turn out pretty fun. I'ma get to concept drawin.

 

[N.O]

Why doesn't anybody tell me anything...
I shall begin preparing to win... MUHAAA!
hehe Gogo GIANTS! Epicness will appear soon...
I will most likely be doing a model edit since I can't animte yet... and can only model in Vertex Mod.

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

hmm... naaaaah.
No idea how a goblin could be compared with a colossus.
im interested to watch, non the less.

Maybe being a judge this time, since the yellow lizard isnt the host.

 

[HailFireer]

I asked to be the judge also, still no reply ^.^

Oh, and good luck to you all.

 

[s4nji]

I will make... some kind of Iron Giant...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

On my last thought, I won't enter this contest

 

[chilla_killa]

Was just a little joke.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

In any case, it was terrible. Moving on.

It may be because it's nearly 1 in the morning, but I have no idea what you just said.

 

[HappyTauren]

It has nothing to do with time there.

I dont know who "archadian" is :/ but as for the mr.bob thing, A LOT of people wanted the colossus theme.... there was a poll and everything

 

[Mechanical Man]

Well, I didn't want it.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

no one pointed anyone out specifically :/

EDIT: ALSO, i thought this pic was fitting for halloween and the colossus contest xD made me rofl

:D

 

[Mr. Bob]

OKAY HERE GOES...

After 2 hours of hard work, I present my backup plan!

The model's animation and node work are not yet done, but the mesh and UVW are all finished!

This model is a backup in case I do not finish the real model. If I do finish the real one, this one shall be discarded. In other words, THERE IS A REASON I MANAGED TO FINISH THIS MODEL IN 2 HOURS. lol...

 

[Pyritie]

That's awesome for two hours

 

[Palaslayer]

where is the coloss in it?
