[The Nightmare Book]

Of course, I played well. I'm KEL'THU-FREAKING-ZAD!

Otherwise, like! It's always refreshing to see new models on HIVE!

 

[Nyctaeus]

Noooice. Looks like based on his HotS appearance, isn't he? Very well done SD+ rendition.

 

[stein123]

holy crap, amazing work!

 

[kangyun]

OMG is Ingame Texture Kel!

 

[paladinjst]

I've been waiting for this for a long time ~

 

[Jab1z]

All in-game textures? amazing - 5*/5

 

[BaiyuGalan]

Perfect!

 

[deepstrasz]

He's back in full horns rivaling Mephisto himself.

 

[SpasMaster]

What a wonderful model.

Really matches the high quality and style we've grown to expect of you.

Keep it up!

 

[Mizuki]

Niceee! Another Fine Model of Lich Version!

 

[MasterHaosis]

Great work man! 5/5 + like

 

[MickCraft]

Awesome! Reminds me of a lot of the "Re-Classic" models on this site. Would be great for a campaign remaster or other custom maps. Love it!

 

[tomoraider]

Fantastic model!

 

[Panda]

Love the icon. Nice work.

 

[Faqka]

Did you use the OG Lich proportions? seems a little short xD

Amazing work

I heard he always wanted to start his own legion, and apparently so he did!

A mix really between official artwork of him, Shadowlands, classic WoW and some artistic license to make him feel more Warcraft-y.

Amazing work

He's actually a bit taller than the original Lich with his cowl and large shoulderpads making him look a bit smaller. His core design is based on the normal lich to keep his proportions in the same Epic style as the rest of the games models. His hands are however a little bit bigger to reflect his WoW Classic model

Obey the call! So glad you finally uploaded him. He is one of my favorite characters. However, there is a slight problem: the lower jaw needs to be bound to a 'jaw' bone. Comparison screenshot below: red is the original model, green is edited.
By the way, have you seen Araj the Summoner? It is also a great lich model.

The true king of the plaguelands!

 

[LISBOAH]

Always a pleasure to see a model of one of my favorite characters.

 

[TheLazyGeep]

oh my god... my favorite hero... and with this skins so peak... damn that's cinema

I like the mesh and the texture choice. My criticism, based on personal preference, is that I find the face a little washed out/understated compared to the original Lich and find the model SD+ as the armor has been given a significantly bulkier, voluminous outline, albeit a nice one.

Unfortunately, for a fan of the Undead setting and their legendary heroes, I don't find anything new other than the exterior redesign of the vanilla Lich Because I want more from this model and I think so, because my expectations are very high after your previous works, and it's your fault!

 

[Njord]

The model is fantastic. Lacking in animations. Only one attack animation is not optimal. Hope to see some more added.

good!

As the model is based on Kel'thuzad from WoW rather than an interpretation of how he could look in Warcraft 3 I decided to go for a bulkier and visually interesting design to make him "pop" a little when used in a map. Simply bulking out the base lich (which I also tried at first) made him disappear a little among other liches and units and also made the use and point of the model less valid. A good suggestion about the face though.

As Kel'thuzad simply is a larger and bulkier lich compared to his lesser brethren I'm not sure what else I could include. I might look into an extra animation or two to give him some extra love but apart from that I'd say there's not much I could or would like to do to change him too much from his original design and purpose. I don't really want to make him as flashy as the HD design either as they look more like Heroes of Might and Magic 6 Liches and waaaay of from the WC3 Epic style.

The model is fantastic. Lacking in animations. Only one attack animation is not optimal. Hope to see some more added.

The original lich also only has one and it's not something I personally is too bothered with. As stated in the reply to Villagerino though, something I could look into.

Edit: Added a secondary/alternative version of him with the WC3 Lich skin instead of the skeleton-looking one.

I know custom animations can be difficult especially to make them nice and smooth but still dynamic although I think custom anims would probably be an "easy" or at least big way of differentiating him from other Lich's even if it is just his attack and spell anims that are different

Could try the Cinematic Lich by Seoki as an idea for the extra animations.
