Last WIPs

added eraser

These are my last WIPs before my final entry
and as you can see, its still not transparent, I'll work on that once i finish

 

[owenfitz]

It's nice to see more entries here. I was worried it was just going to be the first three of us for a while. I like to see everyone's unique ideas. never would have thought of a moose cursor.

 

[morbent]

Wow Thanks.
Moose just rule :\

 

[I3lackDeath]

I just noticed this.

So, this mini-contest will also be included, rewarding entries with 7.5 (8) and the winner with 37.5 (38) reputation points?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yep, that's correct.

 

[owenfitz]

cool! Morbent, do you have anything to do with the minecraft server moose craft because I saw that and thought of you?

 

[morbent]

Well... no sorry to disappoint you.


(Btw I think that I won't be updating my cursor anymore so that post I posted (wow) will be my final entry. I think I have everything needed... hmm, image, game-preview and .blp file. Do I need to add something? Like a downloadable .png file?)

My Submission

This looks like a simple use of brushes. If you don't prove it otherwise, then it is not acceptable unfortunately.

 

[morbent]

Final entry.

(When opened with War3Viewer you may see the rainbow cut in half and some parts removed, but it works in WE)

 

[bisnar13]

i will still upload mine tomorrow, please wait

 

[morbent]

Don't worry bisn, we still have no judges

 

[Dentothor]

not for long. Ill cast my vote in for a judge. id just simply request a pm with all the entries and ill check up on it in a day or two

 

[Pharaoh_]

Kwaliti accepted to judge, but it would be lovely if we had you as a second judge as well

 

[I3lackDeath]

Agreed. Highly!

 

[RED BARON]

Well just noticed this and given that I see I still have one day to finish, then why the heck not

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Because i was very busy with school i don't finished my entry.
If is possible, i'll upload\finish mine tomorrow.

 

[RED BARON]

Okay, done with the cursor icons Inspired by my entry to the hero contest 6 I decided to focus on fire. Hence a fireglove, something like a fire/electricity target and a fire arrow as transport arrow.

My Final Entry to 2D Art Mini-Contests: A Cursor's ®obe

I consider it looks quite good:

A path to test it would be: UI\Cursor\HumanCursor.blp

Ps. I like how the hands in your example looks, had hoped to get similar detail to mine, but time is a bitch

 

[morbent]

I like it!

 

[RED BARON]

I like it!

Thanks I like your as well. Only odd one is the two red lines/legs - since I can't recognize its connection with the moose.

The best part of my own is the firearrow by my opinion, since I had forgotten about the green color when using on own units..but well it works anyway.

 

[morbent]

Yes the firearrows really is awesome xD, best one..

well the "X"s are something like "No" :\ and since a moose can't say "NO!" since moose can't speak, they just draw one X. Moose are kinda smart.

 

[RED BARON]

Ah, I get it (somewhat ). I might have gone with crossed legs or hove prints or something, but none the less it sends the message.

 

[morbent]

Hmm... well I don't know, I couldn't think of anything else then.. and I'm too lazy to draw now xD working on Skeletor's Castle, not in for pixel art :\

HeHe, understandably At this point we're just waiting.

Finally:

I just checked the whole thread and I can't see a single WIP from you.. maybe you wanted to include them and forgot it?

 

[I3lackDeath]

Très chic, SD.

 

[eubz]

What's the path to the war3 cursors? I mean any of the 4 races' cursor.

 

[morbent]

UI\Cursor\"RaceHere"Cursor.blp

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Thank you!
My inspiration was the BE emblem!

 

[I3lackDeath]

That's quite obvious.
What resolution did you work with to create your cursor?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

300x300

 

[I3lackDeath]

I see. You created a very crips and clean cursor, allthough I am no fan of such harsh pixel work myself.
The animations you created for both the main cursor and the ping version are very well done, especially the latter. Very fluent. How did you alpha that part?

It's unfortunate that the background behind the phoenix turns completely black when pointed on enemy units or structures, but that can't be helped.

Overall, this is a very solid work, featuring your own style and fitting the Bloodelven Race perfectly.

In point it was also written in the bottom of my entry

In fact, i sketched the main cursor at 300x300 and the others at 100x100. Difficulty(as was to be expected)started after i shrunk it. Indeed, it was a damn job to finish everything at 32x32. But u know that, u made it too, and urs came out pretty damn good.

 

[Cakedog345]

Another cool contest, Pharaoh!
You are full of imagination, guys! Great entries!

 

[Pinachet]

Absolutely love Sin'dorei's one. Very beautiful :3

 

[RED BARON]

Now that I have more time, I wish I could update mine But oh well - it is as it is, and the idea comes across fine.

 

[I3lackDeath]

You can always update it once the contest received its results.

True But will not effect the judgment. But yea, if I post it on Hive (are there even an area for such resources? Skins perhaps), then I will update it.

 

[I3lackDeath]

As you said: You can upload any cursors and UI parts in the Skins section.

Okay Weren't certain as I never checked nor uploaded something like it before.

Best of luck to all and Merry Christmas

owenfitz, can you provide proof that your entry consists of your own creations and does not include any copypasted material from other sources?

That is unfortunate.
