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

[Direfury]

@Kyrbi0 The 'dark paladin' archetype fits surprisingly well, if you think about it.

I'm an extremely angry person by nature, yes, but I'm not prone to unnecessary bouts of rage. I have a surprisingly good handle on it. However, I often do things motivated by my anger. An example of such a thing would be exercising, because you hate how you look, and hate seeing yourself in the mirror.

So what is one big, iconic thing about Direfury? Something he does that is motivated by anger? Something that is by no means a secret. My antitheism. My personal belief system. My hatred for the idea of gods and religion. Something we have discussed, and at length, I'm sure. Something more than a few people around here know about.

Sure, if you go by actual events in my past, a depiction of me as a berserker would be perfect. But the interview covered quite a few things, and drew from those. Go look at the artwork on the previous page. The anger in the eyes, the intense aesthetic.

Spoiler: Reasoning

The artwork tends to capture everything covered in the interview quite well, in rather symbolic ways.
For one, as I said, I much prefer being Direfury, over being me. I prefer the mask, as it feels more like me, than I do. Thus, the original artwork included a featureless mask, and an, admittedly slightly exaggerated version of my hair at its longest and thickest. Something I prefer.
-
Beyond that, I've had my fair share of strange encounters. The tattoos are something I intend to get, as a physical reminder of what was covered in the interview.
-
The book serves as an ideal representation of my Creed, with the chain serving as a visual representation of my connection to it.
-
The two skulls on the weapon directly reference an extremely disturbing dream of mine. One that I had during a period of my life focused on change, and self improvement.
-

Those are all things I can glean from simply looking at the artwork. How those specific points were implemented. They're largely spot on. Including the aforementioned intensity... I mean, come on, Kyrb. You've probably SEEN it piss me off when some droopy-eyed, drawling little homunculus tells me to chill out, or worse, calm down.

Simply put, a berserker would fit a depiction of me from a first glance. There are other things that are central to me as a character that I feel were picked up on rather well, through the interview, and friendship with @Stefan.K, who most likely picked up on these things over time.

 

[Exarch]

@Kyrbi0 If we were to characterize the person as who really he/her is, that would be also cool but boring. As a result you would probably see @Direfury as a writer with a huge brain and eyeglasses. Or me as a tall ass phone tech an evaluationed creature or something i don't know. But isn't the avatar means what you want to be? However it's mostly the medieval times we want to live in and sadly but true it's something impossible for us to do anymore.

If people ask you to create my Character.. what are you gonna do? Look at my avatar and create? (Which comes back to the point where our avatars are mostly who we want to be in our fantasy worlds) That works. Or ask me and i can describe me as a Caharacter i believe that the result would be more Exarch-ish xd This works too. On the other hand, if you ask me who really i am and you want to create a character out of me.. that will suck my friend.
Or if this is a concept that you're supposed to create the member as what they do in Hive and for Hive. We all pretty much do the same stuff :/ don't we?

About giving him a berserker look (idk if you thought about this by looking at his avatar)? I see an evil power in there and i believe a Dark Paladin can be a berserker. Who said he's going to bring peace in the guidance of the holy light using that skull-ed polearm? lol

 

[Direfury]

Even besides all that, consider stuff like this.

 

[deepstrasz]

Even besides all that, consider stuff like this.

Oh my god, are you the electrifying down jawed skeleton savage warrior?

 

[Direfury]

Holy shit. How did you ever guess?

 

[Misha]

well that's a lot of talking

I usually, when trying to imagine a character out of, well, someone, i take a look at what that person has done, I take a look at the resources, perhaps the most favorite model/texture one works with.. chat a bit to see the personality, and pretty much get a bit of an idea. @Apheraz Lucent , for an example really does good with the textures, icons and especially sorceress model =P so the amalgamation created by that was easy to put together. @Kyrbi0 is a fan of trolls, but if i were to pull on that side, i'd miss many other things, like that elder hydra, so he's a bit more mysterious.. @Direfury ..? well I kinda imagine him as a blacksmith, or engineer.. any sort of a very good craftsman. but every piece of armor or weapon on him would have a sinister secondary purpose, equally destructive like he is creative.

 

[MiniMage]

I thought this was a contest of guessing and impressions. Didn't know we were allowed to make requests.

 

[Misha]

well, chatting.. x3

Haha, that's awesome.

Basically done, actually (barring testing). Lol

@IcemanBo , I think you missed our first Code WIP in your chart.

Darkfang concept art:
I will improve the quality of the photo later:

Darkfang Concept history (I know it doesn't apply, but I think it is cool to give a background to a character appearance and abilities)

Darkfang was once a giant tarantula from the corrupted lands of Felwood, it used to consume deers, wolves, or any hapless creature that it could catch. The spider couldn't find any prey, and so it's hunger grew and grew even bigger, turning the spider insane in a feeding rage, consuming even it's own offspring in the despair. A special rage fillled the heart of the insect, that quiet feeding rage that fills crocodiles, serpents and spiders, creatures that await for their prey to come, in ambush.

Months passed, and with them a warlock came, a Human one, a powerful one, he and his felhunter walked through her territory, Darkfang sensed it, he and his pink flesh excited her stomach, but the Felhunter troubled her.

- Were is that dumb f** of an insect?, the Gnome told me he would pay me well for her legs.
The Felhunter noded, like if he was smelling something, the Warlock didn't notice, he just kept talking.
- There are just dried up corpses and dried webs all over the place, for all we know the damn spider should be dead already. -

The spider could understand it's words, the corruption didn't only make it giant, it made it more intelligent, clever. As the human walked the land she watched with her eight eyes, awaiting, tasting the moment, anticipating.

- There is so much dead sh** in this pla...-
The Felstalker thought that the only sh*t on the place was coming from his master's mouth, he was really interested in the spider, but then the words stopped, and it turned back, his Master was lying in a hole in the ground, immobilized between spider silk, the spider dind't only wait, it had laid traps all over the place, the Felhunter felt admiration over the beast, and looked at it's master with an evil smile, finally it could be free from the warlock's domination, from him and from the Legion, to roam and feast upon the weak mortals that fill the land, just as the spider does. He was about to step back and let his master die, but from the trees Darkfang attacked, lashing against the Felhunter, a bite of venom falling upon it's flesh, the demon managed to get the spider out from his back, and then they both locked stares, the Felhunter wanted to leave before, but the spider thought he would defend his master, the spider only wanted to eat as quick as possible, it couldn't let the prey scape, it couldn't let the felhunter help it. They both awaited for the first move of the other, but the demon grew impatient, the proud hound won't be beaten by a simple insect, he would strike and kill it as he had done against countless other creatures. He tackled, inserting his stings in the spider, attempting to drain it's power, but just as he did the spider lashed against him in madness, now a mortal insanity at the brink of death, fighting to survive, inserting her big fangs in the demonic creature's body, and unleashing all of the flesh disolving toxins in it, they both started to drain and feed upon each other, only one could win. The Felhunter hungered for magic and its magical tentacles were made for destroying magical energies, but the spider had hungered for months, it was starving, insane, and its venom was pure melting acid and it would drain all of the corrupted flesh, heart and brain of the Felhunter until there was nothing left, the Felhunter slowly knew it was his end, but, was it? The Felhunters are normally bound to the twisting nether, they are inmortal creatures, meant to serve the legion for eternity. But this end, in which they drained one another to death fused their souls, something never experienced, he would be bound in flesh and soul to the spider, fused, a sheer happiness filled the Felhunter soul, as his flesh united with the Spider and it started to mutate. No, he would no longer serve the Legion, nor would he serve his damn master once again, no, a vision filled it as his magic senses fused with the spider's senses, something more than a weak warlock or the Legion to serve, someone. As they fused the spider seemed to burn in black pitch shadow flames of red and purple, the vision, she had seen it as well, something to come, more than Felwood, something more than fragile weak preys.

The human warlock in the hole listened the fight outside, as he tried to burn the web slowly with felfire, he thought his demonic minion would save him, but then when he was about to finally break free he saw it, no longer a spider, no longer a felhunter, but something else. Black like the night with straws of crimson red, irradiating in shadows, with its fang oozing dark purple fel flames and with four felstings ready to devour and shred. The creature looked at it, and it looked through it's eight eyes, and through them the felstalker could look too, looking at it's former master once again in a smile. A thought blazed through it, he was always envious of the mortal creatures, as they ate and digested and tasted the flesh of their preys, they delighted in them, but he could only delight in the magical energies, the taste of flesh, for which it was really incapable to really know was unfamiliar, even it's tongue could only taste magic, now a gift was granted for both of them, the spider and the demon, to know the taste of flesh and the taste of magic alike, and share it with each other. The warlock screamed in repeated agony and horror as the monstrous creature stabbed him and bit him, splattering blood all over the place, ah, the human felt terror, but Darkfang felt joy, while it attacked and devoured gleefully, knowing that no flesh, no magic, no bones and no damn soul could scape her hunger.

They both the spider and the demon laughed inside and greeted each other souls, knowing they would get along really well.

Um, that is some schweet concept art.
Is it Darkfang as in you?

Yeap, It was suposed to be based on my avatar, my last avatar -that wasn't a Dark Ranger or my face- was an spider, and I wanted to give it some flavor. What do you think about the short story?

Good, updated table.

 

[Moy]

Workflow.. still not final

 

[Kyrbi0]

@IcemanBo
I know the Rule "Submissions must not be started before the beginning of the Contest" technically does not allow for this, but I'm asking for a special exemption (that I may someday campaign for general inclusion in Contests going forward...): Can we be allowed to reuse simple, non-entry specific stuff from previous maps/Contests/etc (see below)?

Basically, I'm hoping to copy/paste in basic tester functions (spawning the hero, refreshing cooldowns, spawning dummy allies & enemies for testing), as well as my little setup for Credits in the Quest Log, and the dozen triggers I have for spawning the hero, all from some old maps I've got (old Contest entries & stuff). It's not impossible to recreate, it's just sooo time consuming & I've had to rebuild from scratch sooo many times before. That kind of stuff.

I promise I've made everything else from scratch, after Nov 10th. : )

 

[IcemanBo]

Demo map is part of the entry, and so technically maybe also of the submission, but lol yes, sure, you may use any pre-made triggers to set up your demo map for the good. The demo code per se won't be judged anyways. Same would go for showcase dummies, quests, etc. So no worries!: ) The limitation is really only meant for your personal resource submission that you will upload in section.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well yeah. That's exactly how I started my post:

Vunderbar! Yeah, I knew/figured that was the case; it's been a Rule since as long as I can remember, one I've made sure was written explicitly in the Contests I've run/Hosted. : )

Thinking ahead for future Contests, one thought is to simply state explicitly that contestants can do what I'm doing now.
-However, that's tricky (requires honor code) & a challenge to consider all the things that should be covered.

Even better would be to simply provide each Contestant exactly what they need: this could be as easy as preparing the chosen "base template" map (e.g. Turtle Rock) with testing functions, credit tabs, etc (we should already be giving them a base map anyway). It has the added benefit of standardization (highly prized in the more serious, skill-based Contests)
-However, I'm not a big fan of giving the Host more work, and this is definitely non-trivial.

Hmm.

Ah ok nice!

There are many WIPS still missing, by the way.

That was actually our first wip for the icon.

Ok, thanks! Added.

[Misha]

so much code these days

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well it is a third of the Contest. ; )

But srsly, Code WIPs are so lame (and I'm a Coder). Give us some art, Art Dudes! : D

 

[KILLCIDE]

I still don't get why people actually post Code WIPs. I post GIFs and pictures lol.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I still don't get why people actually post Code WIPs. I post GIFs and pictures lol.

Because my spells are so lame, a GIF is more underwhelming than a code pic. xD

 

[Chaosy]

Because gifs actually take effort, unlike posting code.

And quite frankly I do not want to pour time into highlighting something sub par.
For the final version - maybe.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Here,
Some base shading

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is all great, but man I'm feeling a distinct lack of model WIPs in this thread. @JesusHipster , @Direfury , @FerSZ & others, where y'all at bros? : )

 

[PROXY]

Only animations and portrait to go (screen is basic stand animation).

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Well, because my team seems to be slightly conservative about the modeling, texturing and spells, at least let me show you a ''tease''.

And final icon in 64x64 with slight retouch

I'm not a huge fan of the angle, I might redo it.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Curse you. I want to hate you for doing yourself but it's so good. :<

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Curse you. I want to hate you for doing yourself but it's so good. :<

It's actually KILLCIDE and Direfury who rang me up saying = Dude there's a team contest, and we want to make Mr.Goblin!.
And I was like = haha sure! have a blast!, then he was like = want to be our Icon guy? And I was like = sure why not!

the rest is history... or will be, maybe. I don't know. will see I guess

 

[Paillan]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the one, the only...

AWZUM MOOSE!!!

 

[Exarch]

I've been waiting for my team so we could focus on the same concept but unfortunately they couldn't find enough time.. they are working hard tho.. anyways here i got some wips for direfury.

Looking up... Interesting choice.

 

[Misha]

well that's an explosion of WIPs now xD
@PROXY Daaayum, that rivals my Lujka char.. kinda, sorta xD
@Mr.Goblin Ssssizzling xD
@Paillan ... Oo ( its funny because its moose )
@Exarch very footman-y helm tho, but it is very fitting a rogue warrior like Dire

It has a lot of debug message lines, but it will be cleared out in the final update. I'll try to post what the spell currently does.

EDIT:

The spell shown is actually another spell, but the main spell based on the code above is the second spell cast.

Appending:

Hidden

 

[Exarch]

Looking up... Interesting choice.

Thought it can be a good idea to go with. Im gonna see what comes as the result.

@Exarch very footman-y helm tho, but it is very fitting a rogue warrior like Dire

The helmet was designed different than this but i wanted to show the face more so i.. changed it. I still want to put an evil looking helmet to him.. i'll see.

 

[MiniMage]

I always thought of this guy when I thought about personifying Direfury.

 

[IcemanBo]

Nice, I updated WIPS.

@Paillan lol, I did hard to identify "awzum moose" as part of your post, and thought you left the name a secret. (thought like it's part of signature)

@MyPad it's cool you code, but... do you even have a team concept and a modeler? ;s

Daamn.. das wassup
even tho his anger looks just like him.. you imagine him as a creature? Xd
