Icon/Model/Spell Team Contest - Hive Member[+100 Rep]

@Kyrbi0

Perhaps, what you said earlier (Byzantium style suggested by Zwiebelchen except not reverse) may apply here.

So what was the extended time and date? December 30, 2017, 7:59:59 A.M. GMT +08:00 or 7:59:59 P.M. GMT +08:00?

So what was the extended time and date? December 30, 2017, 7:59:59 A.M. GMT +08:00 or 7:59:59 P.M. GMT +08:00?

As of right now, the deadline for the contest is December 30, 11:59:59 P.M. GMT

@Kyrbi0 , your 'precise' definition adds exactly nothing technical to the current one, let's don't get ridiculous.

Giv more time plox.
Mostly because of time zone

That makes no sense now. Else, elaborate.

@MyPad , read the date definition again, and please explain which part exactly is confusing, but maybe we can work it out:

conclude on 30th December 2017 GMT (day is included)

-> I can still work on 30th december in GMT time, YEY!
-> When it gets 31th december in GMT time, I can't work anymore, NEY!

Not sure there will be again a same extension, maybe this time with a small % malus for ones who need an extra week. But we will announce this tomorrow, try to finish it! I guess one more day, so including 31 as final date would not help everyone anyways, or, for those who need more time?

so including 31 as final date would not help everyone anyways

The extra day would help me!

 

[MyPad]

Okay, just wanted to clarify that portion.

I guess one more day, so including 31 as final date would not help everyone anyways, or, for those who need more time?

Would love to include the 31th, Christmas is way too busy. Although I could easily use more time, mostly due to the a birthday on the 30th and the obvious for the 31th (as I find myself being the one to create a texture for the model as well, besides the icons - this contest does a great job at showing both the joys and frustration about teamwork, more so over a period where a lot of events make communication hard). Still don't really want to go overboard with extension given that we already had one, so though time is short, a very late night for the should make things a lot more possible.

Anyhow, time for some WIP's to prove that work is actually being done with this icon process - even if it perhaps spoils the surprise

[Paillan]

An extra day would help me as well. I'll be all day away today and idk if when I return it will still be 30 or already 31 acording to the timezone for the contest.

 

[IcemanBo]

So yes, let's draw a new deadline, this will be final date. There's no malus for the week.

New Deadline:

7th January 2018 GMT (day is included).

Don't all forget:

• The final entry must be posted before the deadline in this thread using a demo/test map. The post should be a little presentation of the hero, and must link to all submitted components of the hero (link to Model, Icons, Spell in the resource section).

• The test map's name should be "<team> + <hero name>" and it must have decent testing conditions. Which means the user can test various aspects and behavior of the spell/code under certain conditions without too much of effort. For example cliffs/water/trees might be provided already in a spell demonstration, or chat commands might be given as well.

Good luck, hope to see the entries during week!

[Ustanak]

Can I update my entry model I already uploaded in the models section?

 

[KILLCIDE]

You can keep updating it. The only thing you can't update is the test map during the judging process.

Goblin Artist
by the DREAM TEAM
a.k.a Direfury, KILLCIDE, & Mr.Goblin

---

Mr.Goblin, The Goblin Artist

We decided to create Mr.Goblin because the idea of a tiny, rampaging Goblin with an orange beard, huge grin, and a humongous paint brush was too good to pass. Mr.Goblin was originally not a part of our team, but we figured to ask him to join us because who no better to draw the art of Mr.Goblin other than himself obviously, the Hero would be a goblin because of his avatar, and his name. The artist aspect came in because Mr.Goblin's godlike talent of 2D art.
​

Paint Bomb

Throws a can of paint at the target location. The color of the paint will determine what happens once the can hits the ground.

Red - After a short delay, nearby enemy units will take damage. (Preview)
Yellow - A pool of yellow paint will be created, slowing enemy units that walk over it. After a short delay, the slow will snare the unit. (Preview)
Blue - Creates a squad of Blue Paint Goblins. Whenever a Blue Paint Goblin dies, they will leave behind a pool of blue paint. Any friendly Blue Paint Goblin that walks over this pool will receive bonus stats. (Preview)
​

Switch Paint

Switches over to the next color in the color palette. (Preview)

1 - Red
2 - Yellow
3 - Blue

[deepstrasz]

I don't think it's fair giving rep to all three from a team for each resource. I mean didn't just @Mr.Goblin paint/make the icons?

 

[KILLCIDE]

As a team, we decided to co-author each others resources. It wasn't a rule or something we were required to do.

 

[Just_Spectating]

progress

 

[IcemanBo]

@KILLCIDE images seem not working for me.

Ehm, there's certain 'Theme Criteria', and I realize the rule with the entry could be phrased a bit better:

The post should be a little presentation of the hero

... ^what's meant here is that the hero is explained a bit in theme regards. For this hero it's pretty obvious, but could you explain shortly that you created the hero based on Mr.Goblin and took avatar or maybe name as association, because it's a goblin image or what ever. I would like to get the association for all heroes and the used theme.

Added this to entry rule:

The entry must contain a short explanation of the theme, naming the created hive member and it's theme association.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I don't think it's fair giving rep to all three from a team for each resource. I mean didn't just @Mr.Goblin paint/make the icons?

ouch.... I did the texture for the model, the concept-art for it, helped with the brainstorming of the spells, etc. The reason why Killcide made us co-author and the reason we did the same for all the related ressources it's because the making of this entry was a team effort.....period. so all the team should get the praise.

 

[deepstrasz]

ouch....

Hey, uh, sorry guys. Didn't mean to offend you or anything.

 

[Daffa]

There was another code WIP in the last page or so for CHAMPIONS.

 

[KILLCIDE]

@Daffa the Mage added!

 

[Misha]

ah so that's the final entry that needs to be posted? like @KILLCIDE did?

 

[IcemanBo]

Yeh, it should have demo map attached, shortly present the hero with user and theme association, and just link then to all team submissions in sections.

Lady Hive
By Team Alliance
(a.k.a @Misha @Hayate and @Chaosy )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apheraz Lucent, the Lady Hive

well.. making Apheraz was kind of my idea, among a few other that we discussed, including the Moose but i managed to convince the team to go along with the model i was building. @Apheraz Lucent is a dear person and a very, very nice texture/icon artist. especially with the sorceress texture and wrap, which i have found amusing enough to go with a same theme, borrowing a bit from the war3 lich and building upon it. I also have her a very big brush and a color palette, so she can go ahead with her artistic ways even on the fields of a digital battle =P

Artistic Mind:

(also called 'brush swoosh' by me and Hayate :b)

Apheraz inspires all targets in an area, making their fantasies run rampant. Their own creations are unleashed on them. The creations last for 12/14/16 seconds unless killed. The creations will only deal damage to the origin.

Spoiler: Chaosy's gif

EDIT: updated with a tweaked map that Chaosy provided.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Model: 1 2 Final
Icons: 1 2 3 4 Final Final Final
Code: 1 2 Final

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Love how I turned up =)
Thanks guys!

Good luck on the poll.

 

[Misha]

Updated Team Alliance submission with Chaosy's map

 

[IcemanBo]

The entry looks lovely, misha.

So ~2 days left to enter, hurry!

 

[Just_Spectating]

Don't know how far along our model is but here's a WIP of the final icon which is the ability itself being depicted

 

[PROXY]

Last pic before the full upload, which will be somwhere between today and tomorrow.

Edit: Deolrin the Troll Pariah

Close please.

None of the moderators here can close it. You will have to make a post in Staff Contact.

Team: JustAZbound

Resource: Model Wip_2

Stuff Done: mesh, all mandatory animations, most additional animations, first effects.

Stuff to do: (I will go crazy, trying to fix a single custom animation that is breaking the model), so fix 1 anim, fix effects
, finishing magos details.

 

[KILLCIDE]

That alternate animation looks sick!

 

[Moy]

Uploaded all the icons. The alternate grim rupture icon will still be updated, just uploaded it in case my laptop goes crazy again.

I am realizing the folly of trying to create one icon to show both hero, and 3 very different effects at the same time.. Anyway this icon should be final for hero icon, even if more light than usual for wc3:
Screenshot: Uploaded to Hive as well where it can be found as icon.

Before the preview, I will show the final WIP on the icon of the spider. (I did not work on the icon, but I felt like adding the WIP of @Darkfang when creating the icon.)

Icon WIP 2

Darkfang, Part I

Darkfang, Part II

Now, for the preview you might or might not have waited for:

Presenting: Darkfang

Darkfang the Fel Spider
___________________

By @Darkfang and @MyPad
The Scourge

___________________

Gameplay:

Darkfang, the Fel Spider is played as an aggressive pusher and a highly mobile anti-magic caster, being capable of planting hive seeds into a targeted location. From the seeds, the hive is thusly created with anti-magic properties attuned to the enemies of Darkfang, draining them of their magical energy. The haughty fool who dares even lay a blow shall suffer at the hand of the spiderlings, each which deal a fraction of Darkfang's power, but can be devastating when combined.

Darkfang is feared by most creatures, not because of her intimidating build, but because of her ever-presence in the battlefield, capable of absorbing the magic essence (called life essence in the spell) stored within a targeted hive. Because of this, her ability to ravage magic within a certain area is deadly enough in itself, but when coupled up with the ability to shift into liquid form and to regain mana from inflicting damage, (both of which are now disabled), Darkfang is more than a match for anyone, even Spiritbreaker.

Choice:

The Scourge team initially consisted of @MyPad only. Then, @Darkfang joined as an icon contestant and got partnered up with @MyPad to create a hive member hero. From there, the initial idea and final product is the Fel Spider, Darkfang.

@MyPad

I wanted to portray Darkfang the Fel Spider as the reincarnation of the Overmind from Starcraft, being capable of commanding hive minds to do his (I wanted Darkfang the Spider to be male) bidding, and being a more cunning Hero. However, after talking with @Darkfang, I decided to depict is as closely as possible (how @Darkfang wanted it). From there, I finalized what would become the main spell. (It was the third spell at that time).

Just for Fun

You can recite this ancient chant to summon the Spider:

Foreign Language

An ginkakahadlok na lawa,
Nakaon hin bisan ano la,
An ngatanan ha makikit-an mo,
Imo kakaonon, wa'y tagya,

An imo gahum naabat han sangkataw-han,
Bisan tawo o hayop ada,
Ginkakarawat an kinabuhi bisan hin-o man,

Ginbubutang ha waray katimhan na bodega.
Antis waray pa nagamit an sundang,

An sundang na napatay hin imo kaluwasan,
Unta, malutas, ngan ig-bayaan.

Hatchery (or Saccular Genesis)

This is the main spell. It plants a hive seed which will create a hive (with a fade-in mechanism) and a certain amount of spiderlings. The hive drains the mana of every enemy unit that gets close to it, and when selecting the hive (SelectionCircle by @Aniki), a selection circle will appear, displaying the range of which the spiderlings will attack a target unit. When selecting Darkfang, the hives that have been planted will be highlighted with a special effect, which only appears to the player or allies.

Ravage Magic

Made as a quick sub-spell, the spell moves Darkfang to a targeted hive, consuming the stored energies within that hive and killing that hive, which will also damage nearby enemy units.

Nice entries! Updated WIPs and closed section submissions.

@Daffa the Mage , @MyPad , the links to submissions in the sections are missing

The final entry must be posted before the deadline in this thread using a demo/test map. The post should be a little presentation of the hero, and must link to all submitted components of the hero (link to Model, Icons, Spell in the resource section). The entry must contain a short explanation of the theme, naming the created hive member and it's theme association.

MyPad, you link to model only, but not to others.

@RED BARON there's no WIP, right?

^^

I'm still going to submit them. I'll update the previous message here after I've posted them.
