Custom - UI (WIP, discussion topic)

I've been making a map for a while now (is this sentence correct? ), and finally I decided to create a costum UI for it. I'd like to ask the Hive's opinion about it, that's why I'm posting it here. Comments, ideas and other stuff are welcome! (Once this is complete, I will make it available for every1)

Concept Image

Early WIP (with some sketch colors)

Actual* WIP

*"Actual" means that I will only color after the shadows are done, and the WIP with color showed before is just to demonstrate the final look of the UI.


I hope you like it. Comments, ideas, suggestions, ect are welcome so please don't hesitate to express yourselves guys!

This can end up pretty well, keep on working!

 

[Malcous]

Wow , nice

 

[Deolrin]

Looks nice so far, I like the layout. Is it intended for a specific race or so?

Thanks!
@debode: Well, it's main purpose is to look good. So, to answer your question it's not race specific or anything IMO. (Kinda darwish btw ^^)

I <3 your UI art

I <3 your UI art

Thanks

Here is a new WIP. (Not much improvement btw for now, still no further decoration, just fooling around with the rocks and the basic background of the UI.)

New WIP

Q to the Hive: I'm wondering if I should add a generic light-source to the top of the UI? It would make it look better on normal War3 maps, but I fear it might loose it's darky style... (BTW, I'll make that (tomorrow) when I have time89 (^^) and post a picture.)

Ps.: Sorry for the "BY ELFoglalt alias Aleon" text, but I don't like to post unsigned stuff on the Internet if I want to use it later, until it's not 100% complete and implemented/showed where I want it to be... Or in a nutshell: I'm paranoiac

that looks very cool good work...also in custom you mixed up the o and u

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Wow, great. Could be become a really good draenei UI if you tint it blue

 

[Jacky The turtle]

[PsychoNerdial]

Don't worry lad. Your one looks great too. I use tablet and photoshop, so I think I have some advantage Also take consider that the two UIs are totally different in style. I'm sure there are people who like yours more than mine.

Btw, I missed some updates but here is the stuff.

WIP, Grayscale, Final touches*

I'm kinda stuck with this part. I'd like to ask the Hive's opinion about how should this part look like:

Question

Just write 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Also, did you liked better the old, stone pillar on the right, or should it be made of something less glowy, blueish crystal (as it is on the last pics)? Opinions are always welcome!

*Rocks still need some work

 

[PsychoNerdial]

First one, fo sho.
Oh, blueish crystal too.

 

[Jacky The turtle]

1nd combined whit 2nd

 

[Sheephunter]

Any uptates?

 

[zolga]

1st with 2nd

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I think the one with the runes is the best of the 3

 

[housefull]

Nice.... not something I want but cool

 

[ELFoglalt]

Any uptates?

Jeah jeah I'm still working on it, but I have other things to do and it's quite slow. I'm making the upper side right now, I'll show some pics soon. Good to see that people are interested

edit: Also, thanks for feedback guyz!
