Beefy Nightelf

[CombatTheWombat]

Ive started skinning some beefy nightelf berzerker type guy out of arthas. Have most of the chest work done.

 

[LiOneSS]

He won't be having night elf ears :|
and the muscles look wierd

 

[INF3RNO]

lioness is right the muscles do look wierd on pec seems to be lower then the other and the side bis seem extremely messy...also if that the dodge tool ur using?

his stomach muscles are where his chest is supposed to be and the side ones are very wierd

 

[CombatTheWombat]

wow, did either of you even look at the wrapped picture before posting that?
thanks for pointing out the really freaking obvious about the one pec being bigger and lower than the other. but if you took two seconds and actually looked at the wrapped picture you would notice they match up perfectly and that they are also in their correct location lioness. the chest wrap on arthas is very interesting so you have to make the right pec bigger in the blp to have it match up on the model.

EDIT: Oh and as for the ears I know, that was annoying to me right from the start, but there are many explanations I could use for this. Like maybe all the berzerkers have to clip their ears short so they dont get caught on stuff when they are smashing through forests and such. Or maybe they just have small ears that are hidden in their hair.

 

[LiOneSS]

The chest wrap is shit, but look at it: are your stomach muscles that high? they don't have to be visible as whole >.>

 

[A.R.]

wrapped the muscles aren't lopsided, but still they're too high up, as has been pointed out.

also, don't forget that line where the ribcage ends, under the pecs and over the abs. otherwise he'll look like Optimus Prime

EDIT:whoops, in the few minutes it took to actually get this posted, everything i'd said had been addressed talk about timing

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Did the belt buckle. I dont know what you guys mean by being too high up with the pecs. You notice if you look at the model closely in viewer the pecs end right at the place where the model goes from sticking outward to going down. So if I made the pecs any lower they would get all bent around and point on the model. by the way, is this ---> a new smile?

EDIT: Took AR's advice and made some space between pecs and abs.

 

[LiOneSS]

LOOKS A LOT BETTER! And good of you to actually listen to our advice ^^ You still need to make the colors blend better. sorry for the crappy pic but it was made in paint xD
Look and try:

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Thanks lioness, and of course I listen to your guys advice. You and AR are pros at skinning. Yeah im still tryin to fiddle with the colors a little bit and make them blend better. I tried movin the pecs up and down and all around but it seems if I move them any lower than they are they get all bent and stretched around the models pointy chest. So they will probably have to remain where they are.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Did the top part of the legs. The boots and rest of armor is going to resemble the belt buckle.

 

[THE_END]

Lookin good Wombat
Good start to your skin
I would suggest doing some wood armor
Or also possible Demon Hunter esque armor

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Ill add some woody element to his gloves.

EDIT: I know what I will do, ill make the boots wooden and the little knee thing be like the belt buckle, and the toeplate be like the belt buckle.

 

[THE_END]

I would suggest making it like one of the Ancient's armor in game

 

[LiOneSS]

ooooh awesome progress on this one

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Thanks for the comments guy, will probably work on it some more later today.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

FINALLY, took me forever to find some time to work on this guy. Here is latest W.I.P.

 

[Madome]

It looks like a human with a night elf body instead of a night elf with human head. I know its suposed to turn into a night elf, but you should do the face =D
Body looks good ^^

 

[LiOneSS]

hmmm
you smudged a bit :/
and the hair isn't changed at all
=/

 

[CombatTheWombat]

actually that hair is freehand, and yeah i used a little smudge on the shoulders

 

[PurgeandFire]

actually that hair is freehand, and yeah i used a little smudge on the shoulders

Lol, the hair looks like the original but recolored + strokes but I trust that you did it freehand.

Looking pretty good so far...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The muscle structure is a bit creepy, aside from that it looks nice.

 

[INF3RNO]

could use some more shading looks a bit flat atm. and if the bottom of his shoes wheres it purple if thats skin him him some toes =p

 

[CombatTheWombat]

you wrote him him instead of give him but no it isnt skin. yeah i kno everything looks a little flat. the muscle structure of arms and legs isnt super important cuz u wont see them much. after i get everything done i will go back over the whole project and add smaller more detailed shading and stuff.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it would be cool if it were toes.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

The toes would be really fat and stretched out.

 

[Just_Spectating]

not really. you can use alpha to make them smaller.

 

[A.R.]

No, you can't. for starters it would still stretch like no tomorrow and secondly that part is team colour

looking good so far, i think the muscles could use some smoothing out and the whole thing could use more highlights.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Yeah, I will work on it some more over this 3-day weekend. Like I said the whole thing will receive better shading and stuff when I'm done with the whole basic skin.

 

[THE_END]

Green hair? oh you silly
Make his hair like the demon hunter's hair, that color

 

[CombatTheWombat]

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but, awwww fine, will give him some homo blue hair

 

[Just_Spectating]

work on the purple skin

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Wow, could that comment be any more vague and unhelpful? I HIGHLY doubt it.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Presenting the final version of my super-cool Nightelf Arthas!!! Any last comments and ideas would be much appreciated before I upload him. Thanks!

 

[GnoobSauce]

Cool texture... could be a little more crisp though, some parts, mainly the skin look a little rushed and not defined. Apart from that it's a great texture and very creative. +rep (well blank rep)

 

[Madome]

Looks pretty good ^^

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

i think it's pretty awesome and creative, but his face makes me go rofl... That face can't be taken seriously :O

 

[Madome]

y he looks like he is snorting laughing

 

[Just_Spectating]

lol, the face ruins the seriousness. hes makn a -=- face

 

[Grog50]

Its a great skin but the chest is kinda wierd. I think if you cut the chest down the middle and copy the right side then flip it and put it over the left it would look better. The chest would be much more symetrical. Besides that it looks great!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well, if you look you notice that the chest is lopsided on the unwrap you should also notice that it is even on the wrap, Arthas has a very weird chest wrap and if I was to copy and flip one side to the other he would be all lopsided. And yeah, will definitely work on the face some more, it has been the overwhelming consensus that the face needs work. Faces have never been my strong area, so I will work on it sometime, probably this week, and post a new picture.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Good that you will work on the face, cause otherwise it's good
You should make him have sort of serious looking face like Illidan has or something

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Sounds good, will do.

 

[Direfury]

The book kind've looks like CnP, the cape could use a FEW teamcolor leaves, and the face seems a bit... odd, the skin isn't exactly as 'smooth' as most Night Elves, he looks kind of sad with the mask and his lower lip... Huge. Very nice otherwise.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I assure you the boots are freehand. And you cant see it in this picture but there is a big team colored celtic knot on his cape. I will definitely work on the face.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think you could do a better job with the buckle.

 

[THE_END]

There is no CnP, trust me Rev
And Wombat, you need some more shading on the arms and the chest area, and as well as around the wrap on his eyes

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Ok, havent had much time to work on this lately, I will get it done eventually.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Here is the new face. I think it looks considerably more serious and less retarded than the last one, comments please?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Could ya give us a portrait image maybe? Not like anyone is going to see that face so close in game
