🎨Texturing Contest #33 - Peaceful NPC

[Shido]

To be fair, Hive haven't gone any hype on contests, no hype = not much people entering contest. Which sadly the main reason I didn't skin stuff recently till i catch in a time for it. Clearly my surrounding is fogged and I think so do the people interested in one.

Don't get me wrong, Betsy is a decent contest host here and he keeps catching hope. Perhaps when Hive can cook up something to boost everyone a motive to join an activity. My takes are controversial but I am not afraid speaking what truth in heart about the current state.

My apologies, sadly I've been very busy since the latter part of 2023 and nearly this entire 2024. Wishing you all fun with this contest though

No worries, thanks for dropping in!

As you all may have noticed the contest deadline has been extended again, let me know how the rest of you are all getting on!

Hey guys, just thought I'd give yous a wee tag to see if you'd be interested in joining this contest. I know the deadline has already been extended twice, but I'd rather we get a good field of entries rather than being tight with an arbitrary schedule.

I hope some of you will have some cool ideas in mind for this theme!

I was considering joining, but thought the deadline had been crossed, yet I see know that it has been extended to the 31 march. I might join.... gotta think about the perfect unit to pacify then :3

Same thing, I just overhauled almost everything in my desktop to play new Baldur's Gate and even though I have the old HDD plugged in, I don't think the new setup likes me trying to run things directly from it, coz all the paths are mixed up.. or something.

P.S. is there a way to flag that I'm now spending almost every waking moment not at work playing Baldur's Gate?

I'm pretty over Tindur's Date 3 now, so if anything develops, lemme know.
Kinda disappointing after burning $1.5k on new hardware but oh well gotta blow your money on something?

It's pretty, but I'd give it a 7/10 on a bad day, 8/10 if generous. I'd rank some Skyrim mods as more polished, and certainly less buggy, which should be seen as quite damning.

 

[Footman16]

The contest has been extended to April 31st!

Let me know how all you guys are getting on, remember two WiPs are necessary! I hope some more people will find time to join so we can get a good field of entries

Wow, looks good so far, looks like you've got the base colours and even shapes down, excited to see how it develops, I also see some good lighting work form the lamp

 

[Shido]

There is no such thing as 31st April, yah might offense my country independence day.
Anyway, I get the sasquatch ready in late march.

I will say the quillboar look sick tho, he's literally a sleepwalker

Edit: I push back april unfortunately because of sudden event happening around me.

Looks good! I've updated the main post.

@Vinz @aeman @demongrel

Any updates on your entries?

 

[Moy]

Knock knock

 

[Footman16]

Just a reminder to anyone wishing to enter that a Works-In-Progress or WiP post (whether that be a picture or video or any other form of media) is required in order for your entry to be accepted!

Hope everyone had a good Easter!

 

[PrinceYaser]

It's been quite long. Here's my first WIP.

Looks sharp!

 

[demongrel]

Alright! Here's my WIP 2.

I thought I could get this textured without needing to paint directly onto the 3D model...
After a few moments of frustration, I managed to get the razormane scout model imported into blender for closer UV referencing, so hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here on out.

 

[demongrel]

Done with my entry! Here is Sleepy Quillboar .

@aeman @Vinz @PrinceYaser

I've extended the competition if you guys have any updates?

@demongrel

Looks good! Added to the OP.

Sorry for not giving updates for a long time, but i had to call it quits, my pc has broken down, the psu short-circuited and its nearly a month since it happened, so sorry guys, good luck to the others tho

Edit: but if i managed to get my psu back after warranty, i may continue the work and submitted it in late contest

 

[PrinceYaser]

My second and probably last WIP.

 

[Archian]

Love it! Cool idea turning the axe into a lantern very innovative!

 

[Shido]

That kinda yike for aeman here but i hope you can repair your pc.

While I do like where yeezy going, I have a pitnick but probably a vaild nitpick one. I used to have an actual lantern but just turn it side away give me a panic attack because the grip that hold the lantern candle in that lantern are not that strong to go sideway. You could swing ofc and i'm just janking around logic here but I can already felt my ancestor looking at me cold shoulder that ask their decendants about why is that lad holding a lantern sideway and slam it into the ground like it was a lantern from Icathia.

Still, he has a good concept and knowing that peaceful npc are not attackers (sometimes), maybe that flaw can cover up.

Thanks for the compliment!

And don't look for logic in Warcraft 3, you won't find it. xD

I'm sorry to hear that, if you do manage to solve the PSU issue and can continue the work let me know, the contest has been extended a lot already to accommodate others so I have no issues with extending it to accommodate you; the more entries the merrier

My second and probably last WIP.

Looking good, I enjoyed the Tauren Chieftain unwrap when I made my own texture for it; it has a lot of potential for cool details too so I'm looking forward to the final result.

 

[Footman16]

Can I get some updates from those participating whether another extension is needed?

 

[AnyNameYouWish]

Don't wait up for me. Months been flying by and I forgot about this. I don't think I'm gonna feel like doing it anytime soon.

 

[PrinceYaser]

I will post my entry by the end of the week.

Perfect, there wont be any penalty for your entry, but I'll not extend the contest as I think it's too late for any others to start now.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Yeah that makes sense. It's been nearly 8 months since the contest started! Time flies man...

If I don't make it, I'll deserve it.

Since you entered the contest originally, we can wait for you to complete similar to PrinceYaser without penalty. The contest close is only to prevent last minute people joining. Happy to see you make it

 

[stein123]

Is this the contest that has lasted the longest in the hive, or have there been longer ones than this one? just curious about

I'm not sure tbh, maybe someone who has been around longer might know, however the length has been necessary in order to allow a good field of entrants. It's not ideal but its better than cancelling it imo especially when others have already worked hard on their entries

 

[PrinceYaser]

It does seem so.
I haven't seen any other contest lasting this long, except the 12th concept art contest which there was a 6 months interval between the poll and the results.

 

[Vinz]

Almost done - just need to work on some details and the TC shoulders.

By the way, I think we should skip the poll. The contest has already lasted too long.

Done, OP updated and I'll lock the thread. The Poll should go up in a couple of days once I find time
