MiniMage: If priests exists in the universe, bishops could as well. Looks decent. Approved.

 

[ILH]

Looks lovely, well done +rep

 

[Roland]

Is that the same thing you doodle? I love it! So much! Keep up the great work sir!

 

[-Grendel]

wow, your models, by far, are the most simplistic YET perfectly made here on this site. i personally think its even better than how i make mine because you make it so seamless but using a small amount of polygons.

 

[Hantoo]

This is awesome

 

[Warseeker]

Great one! I like it 5/5 +rep! Good Job

 

[Stefan.K]

Wow, great staff, i only dislike the head, it's not that it's bad, but everyone uses Archmage's head for the bishops.

 

[BABA]

Why cross is from ortodox church,cloth is from catholic church ?? or this priest is mix from east and west church

 

[Mr.Henci]

Love it! Especially the face in the Stand Ready

 

[Hantoo]

Love it! Especially the face in the Stand Ready

I just realized the eyebrows after you mention it XD
Good job on the portrait, is epic
and also stand ready

 

[Valandil]

Wow this one is realy good! Can you make saruman from this model transform it ? Please !!!

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Blimey, I had to remake this comment 4 times due to how Hiveworkshop doesn't let you post after you just logged in, anyway in short this model just shows that you don't need ultra custom HD texture to make a simple but extremely useful and superb looking model. Though I would add a decay animation as they are always useful.
Only thing I can say is the Orthodox/Catholic mix up that BABA pointed out earlier, which should be easy to fix if you so choose so and that he seems a bit too slim for a Bishop (they tend be fatter), but I see no problem here after that facial expression and those moves with the staff.
Just well done once again for showing that simple models can be practical and good looking.

 

[Dinodin]

Looks great! So when are you going to make Gandalf and Saruman??

 

[HerrDave]

This will probably be the base model for the Saruman model. I have been having trouble with the Necromancer in regards to the bones (not implying that this model has been simple to make either) I still have a lot to learn. More so about why Blizzard puts two skeletons in their models instead of one.

I do agree that the archmage is overused, almost as much as Arthas heads or the Paladin animations, but not quite there yet.
I would have to make a custom texture, or use a paladin head (which is too bulky by half to use) for him.
Bishops do tend to be overweight, but I had a tough time envisioning an older crankier bishop being great in size. I might end up making a relatively rotund monk at some point with a flask of wine and a quarterstaff, but not yet.

As for the Orthodox/Catholic mashup, believe it or not I couldn't remember what the iconic crosses were for the different faiths. I had grown up knowing only the most basic cross and was struggling to find a way to make it look more stylized.
I recalled a cross with a small slash through the lower section from a blurry bit of my memory, but I couldn't find its origins despite my searching.

(Rather embarrassing given that I categorize myself as a christian, and one who prides himself on the use of symbols.)

I've worked out how to remedy the conflict of themes and will update the model shortly.



The eyebrows are hypnotizing, are they not?

No problem , but i learn this things on university (i study archaelogy).

Herr i don`t know what church you follow (ortodox,catholic,protestant ...) but i give you a suggestion if you like to make (historic real) bishop. I learn this things ( for church architecture, and cloth of the priests in all church ) on university. If you like to make WarCraft bishop you mix different stuff beacuse here don`t have rules

 

[HerrDave]

Looks great! So when are you going to make Gandalf and Saruman??

I've got the Saruman head done, and the Gandalf body done (for the most part)

I might end up working Saruman into a taller Necromancer model and Gandalf into the Druid of the Talon (For when he attacks claws come out, all I have to do there is replace the claws with Glamdring)

 

[paladinjst]

Good work , i like it . but just say something : we had seen more old man faces with archmage textures , will u change it to make his face looks unique ?

 

[Jaina Proudless]

The "cross with a slash through it" is the one used in orthodoxy. I've seen a lot of orthodox churches and the majority of them use it. The only time I remember the orthodox using a cross without a line through it is for small crosses worn around the neck.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Dear Dave, I hope you didn't forget about the decay animation, and I hope you do choose to add it.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Dear Dave, I hope you didn't forget about the decay animation, and I hope you do choose to add it.

I am afraid only units have that and this one is a hero.

 

[Mike]

Well made bishop!

 

[Kyrbi0]

Smooth & Snappy. Love me some positive religious expression.

So hypnotizing. : )

 

[Model Lover]

This proves that not all bishops are fat .Anyway nice model .

 

[Uncle Fester]

nicely done, i like the style and choice of textures.

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Can I turn this wonderful bishop into the Evil Archbishop Lazarus?

 

[HerrDave]

Yep, Lazarus needs a harsh talking to after all of the nonsense the player has to go through to get to him I'd say.

I just recently started playing Diablo 1 and it has got quite interesting in-game lore.

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Yep. I just don't get it...in Diablo I cinematic he is sort of a young man...in Diablo III he is a old man...But great work you've done!

 

[HerrDave]

I myself am not terribly fond of Diablo III, if you get my meaning. It became a little too much like WoW (art style/theme-wise) and changed or removed too many things for my taste.

I was a salty little git when it came out.

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Sure, sure. I got it...

 

[HerrDave]

A question for you - Would you be needing a Griswold model?

 

[Rubellu Sidus]

Not at all....why? I've made a Diablo I Butcher and i'm working in Moreina, the Blood Raven...but a Ogre Model with Mortar Team texture and the head of the brown-beard should make it good...I guess...

There it is!

The... Ultimate Priest.

OT: 5/5 +rep amazing wow much nice

 

[blacklabel]

This mdx need a Papa Emeritus Skin :http://loudwire.com/files/2015/07/Papa-Emeritus-III.jpg?w=600&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89

 

[HerrDave]

Spooky

 

[Sagarro]

Bring back model with normal animation!!!!

 

[HerrDave]

What about the current animations do you find distasteful, Sagarro?

 

[Sagarro]

What about the current animations do you find distasteful, Sagarro?

Old "spell" animation was perfect but now he just cough. Im realy sad.

 

[HerrDave]

Odd, it is supposed to be a prayer.

I'll see what I can do.

 

[Mechanical Man]

But still it's good as another stand animation

 

[Warseeker]

I find it perfect in my opinion as it is

 

[Sagarro]

Odd, it is supposed to be a prayer.

I'll see what I can do.

I really like this model and I think you can make him prayer in channel animation. As an option.

 

[HerrDave]

I think I'll do that. The problem with getting the old animation back is that it moved so many bones and when I tried to edit it-- it broke. So I had to replace it with the prayer animation.

I'll see if I can swap them around and forge a new animation.

 

[Skyflash]

Useful I can use it as a Priest Anyway needs a Channel Animation as a spell caster hero

 

[TheGreatJoshua]

It's a shame to see the poor old priest use THE CROSS to fight his enemies. THE CROSS! He's just like saying "Take Jesus you unholy scum!" which is pretty freakin absurd, right? Haha

Anyways, G-damn wonderful model, mate. 5/5

 

[HerrDave]

I m'self can't think of a better way for a priest/bishop to hammer the point home ;D

 

[Dekarchos]

Good Bishop model. Gives me Teutonic vibes.
