@MyPad that mutated and armored spider looks very cool but his stingers feel a little messy in hive viewer

 

[Daffa]

I don't need to link the WIPs too, or do I?

@MyPad that mutated and armored spider looks very cool but his stingers feel a little messy in hive viewer

It's actually my first time (collaborative effort with @Darkfang, me in 3d model, him in 2d art) making a model for submission. Yeah, I'll see if I would touch this any time soon after this contest.

EDIT:

Updated the overview of the thread, and will post affirmative proof of permission.

 

[IcemanBo]

No, linking to WIPs in the entry isn't required. But if I miss some in the table, and someone wants to point out WIPs, then it's welcome.

 

[Murlocologist]

For some reason unknown to me, Team Scourge uploaded same icons twice. We need three, not six of them. Delete the unnecessary ones.

If you helped each other in creating icons, you can request here to both be set as authors.

 

[IcemanBo]

(I did not work on the icon

MyPad, why have you also uploaded the icons? Darkfang has already uploaded them. You should delete yours, and link to his uploads in the entry.

 

[Daffa]

I have linked all resources to the entry @IcemanBo

Deolrin
as the
Troll Pariah

Presented by Team Zul'Aman Was An Inside Job:

@PROXY	Model & Anims	Model
@~Nightmare	Icons & Texture	Portrait Icon // Grim Rupture // Grim Rupture Alternate
@Kyrbi0	Code & Design	Spell(s)

Deolrin is a user who many of you already know; he's a talented 3D geomerge modeler who has often lent a hand or a word of advice to other aspiring modelers on the Hive. The necessities of his IRL situation have lessened his time here on the Hive, but not his impact. We wanted to honor him with this entry for all he's done.

Of course, Deolrin has always been associated with his favorite Warcraft race; Forest Trolls. So it was an easy choice, to start with. From there, the design of the hero sort of 'grew legs and ran away'; the Troll Pariah is meant to be a sort of ultra-vicious Forest Troll, a Troll who was too violent & transgressive for even his fellow primitive tribesmen. In exile, this Troll snuck back to his village & stole a set of ancient tiki relics, including a powerful enchanted sword. Making his way in the world by hook or by crook, this crafty Troll wields his stolen magicks with brazen impunity, further isolating himself from any who would dare cross him.

While our submission is a fully-playable Neutral hero (with the standard abilities detailed below), the Contest only required one special ability, which is as follows:

Grim Rupture: The Troll Pariah impales a target enemy with his contraband tiki sword, instantly murdering it & replenishing his health & mana based on the target. As the enemy's soul escapes, the vengeful spirits in the sword shackle the enemy's soul in a newly-placed Grim Ward. This malefic totem so horrifies the enemies of the Pariah that it causes up to 8 enemies near the Grim Ward to either tremble in place, or run in fear.

Grim Rupture being the Ultimate, the other standard abilities are as follows:

Vicious Cleave: A powerful cleaving swipe with his tiki-empowered blade deals great damage to enemies in an arc in front of the Troll Pariah.
Consume Flesh: Casting aside all decorum, the Troll Pariah feasts upon the fresh corpses of his enemies. Doing so heals damage and gives him a one-time buff to his maximum health, which lasts until he dies.
Retaliate: Surrounded by enraged tiki spirits, the Troll Pariah has a chance upon being attacked to retaliate, the spirits striking each foe from any distance.

We sincerely hope you enjoy playing, testing, & Judging our entry!

The new alternative Spell Icon is attached to this post - it's not existing in the map really and the one in the ressource section is outdated.

 

[IcemanBo]

So nice to read the entries.

@PROXY , the submission inside the sections aren't really relevant for the judging process. It's only important they're linked to, so we can associate submissions with an entry. But only what's attached to your entry post will be looked at, so it's no problem!

 

[KILLCIDE]

Added Zul'Aman's entry and also just reordered the WIPs for Alliance & Scourage to be consistent

 

[Astaroth Zion]

That alternate animation looks sick!

Thanks KILLCIDE, also the anims are running smooth.

BTW my team is almost done with spell and icons, but I am struggling to reach the deadline.

Anyway, the last wip, WIP 3.

Awesome, thanks to have that clarified.

 

[RED BARON]

So just more WIPS and final icon of the spell kind (struggled a ton with this... I have like 7 alternate versions, that I might split up into various icons as to not waste the effort, after contest is done):

And then the final icon uploaded to Hive:

Link here for all border versions

And finally the last icon that I don't really get the use for, but here it is:

Uploaded here, with all borders

Wips for it:

 

[Panda]

Im not sure why darkfangs icons are uploaded twice? Please delete the ones you do not want uploaded so it isnt confusing.

 

[MyPad]

MyPad, why have you also uploaded the icons? Darkfang has already uploaded them. You should delete yours, and link to his uploads in the entry.

Oh, sorry about that. I'll delete them afterwards and attempt to link the icon submissions.

 

[RED BARON]

So model kinda here I guess. With the host of problems for this, there is clearly no time to fix. So currently I have uploaded it, even if I am not the author (can't figure out how to add/change).

Uploaded here

Screenshot for those who want to see the mess:

Spoiler: Show

 

[IcemanBo]

But, quote from the model resource:

This entire post is to match for the team contest. It should be considered a final entry, even if it clearly is not.

The entry should be here, or I misunderstand?

Moose General

Presented by Best tem 10/10

Why Moose
Idea comes from RED BARON, and we all agree that picking Ralle as our hive member hero theme. His enormous work and contribution to THW deserves to have a hero representation on our hive member hero contest!


Story
The Famous Moose General, trained in the art of war on behalf of an ancient tauren shaman who foresaw how this ordinary moose would grow to become one of the world's famous war crafters. Skilled in both punishment and positive reinforcement, this juggernaut of nature is the leader in charge when something truly needs to be done. Few can match their own legend, but this is a moose who can. Surely many still recall how he single-handedly stormed the hive nest and saved the mortally wounded spider and his brood, promising on his life to bring his brood into his own country and care for them. As a hybrid warrior and shamen, the Moose General offers a versatile playstyle, where he serve a dual role as support and damage dealer. Adept at disruption with his "leading charge", it will sometimes appear as if he is capable of being in more than one place.


Spell
As a Famous Moose General, he encourages allies, praising them. With enough praising, allies will receive strong courage that provide them healing over time. Apart from praising allies, the moose will lands a ban hammer on any enemy units that offended him for twice. Enemy unit who received banned hammer will be unable to cast spells, also receiving reduced attack speed and movement speed. But that's not what the max capability of a moose general can do, he is also capable for calling assistance. If there is structure blocking in his path, assistance will be called by him to assist him, either to destroy the structure, or clearing enemy around the structure.

Well it is the model we are using, but it is broken in many ways. However as time is short it can't be fixed. As such it won't be changed until after contest is over. So the final entry is just meant to say that it is the real one, even if it might not look it.

 

[Daffa]

Suddenly a bunch of final entry pops up

This will be fun

 

[IcemanBo]

Ah @DD_legionTN posted the entry! Nice descriptions you have, especially for spell.^^

@Astaroth Zion @Spellbound @Just_Spectating , gogo!

 

[RED BARON]

Ah @DD_legionTN posted the entry! Nice descriptions you have, especially for spell.^^

Best part about our entry is the spell.

 

[FerSZ]

Hey guys! First of all, I want to apologize, in the name of my team, for being inactive all this time. This is officially our resignation to the contest. We weren't able to make a great advance due to the lack of time. Each of us were occupied with our own lifes, so, I hope you understand us guys. Sorry.

 

[IcemanBo]

@FerSZ , thanks for post, now, though.

I'll close the thread for now, time is over. @Astaroth Zion @Spellbound @Just_Spectating , you can PM me your entry and I'll add it then.

Poll thread will probably come in some days with all entries!

General Frank the FABRICATOR TANK
Team JustAZBound
Members: Just_Spectating, Astaroth Zion, Spellbound

_____________

Why General Frank?

Just_Spectating: I was willing to help out in this contest. The theme seemed like fun so what the heck. I think what some of the things these guys do here is amazing and it feels right that we should honor and show our appreciation in a way like this.

Astaroth Zion: Tanks and machines in general are thing I quite enjoy to design and make, and General Frank's many creations on the Hive have been a source of inspiration for me. Since my first days on the Hive I have craved the day that I could make my own creations that could share a map with Franks’. It made sense to give tribute to such an important contributor to the Hive community.

Spellbound: I was bored... also that Bood Elf Siege Tank thing is one of the best things I've seen in the Model section.


The Ability
He makes tanks for Warcraft III so we made him in Warcraft 3 making tanks in Warcraft 3. Simple.
Download it Here

The Model
He makes tanks, has General in his name, and we wanted to make him make tanks. A tank-factory was a natural thought that occured.
Download it Here

The Icon
General Frank seems to like pandas so I took inspiration from his little panda watermark that he puts in the bottom left hand corner of all his resource thumbnails. He also seems to like tanks so we put a panda in a tank. The idea of the first ability icon is how I imagine the General to look when he's deep into making a resource, losing his cool demeanor and letting out his inner beast. The second ability icon is a more conventional approach.
