Mah bad; you got me.

 

[Heinvers]

Mah bad; you got me.

Thank you for pointing it out nevertheless. I've made a small tweak and now it is fixed. Let me know if I've missed something :]

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers, the click-thingie was not really needed =P I know my posts

 

[Moy]

What kind of sorcery is this!?

 

[Heinvers]

That is for the contestants list :]

What kind of sorcery is this!?

One that's quick and spooky at best. Make the most of it.

 

[Misha]

its that I joined?

 

[Archian]

Let us know what you're planning on making

Keeping an eye on this thread!

 

[Just_Spectating]

maybe I'll wip something up for this one.

 

[Traggey]

Spoops!

 

[Aleister]

It would have been better to do it a week before and after 31th of October...
Anyway, possibly I'll participate.

 

[Heinvers]

Initially that was my intent. BUT, due to my real life workload and other similar things, I had restricted time this week to dedicate myself to a new mini-contest. So, I had to make due with a belated one instead of none. Anywho, do participate if you get ideas :]

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Speaking of sorcery, I'll roll with a sorceress skin (durrr) made into a ghost.

 

[Traggey]

I'll be turning Arthas into a headless horseman!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Really exited to see how will it turn out with alpha channels about, and how will portrait look too.

Anyways, if nothing else, you can use a fully black icon for his icon lol.

 

[Traggey]

Hah yeah, been fiddling about with the Alphas! The portrait can't be alphad out, however I'll paint a nice ghost face for him, I find it pretty fitting that the only the player will be able to actually see his face. The head alphas out just fine on the world model, well everything except his eyebrows for some reason.. Which is a little bothersome.

 

[Heinvers]

The Vanilla Arthas, Arthas with Frostmourne or Death Knight Arthas? I am pretty sure that the eyebrows do alpha out on the vanilla one.

 

[Traggey]

I'm currently doing it on the campaign frostmourne arthas, I asume the others use the same UV sets? I'll change the path around and see if I get better results on the others.


Edit: Works fine now, was just my alpha that wasn't exporting properly.

Little screengrab from Max.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

The Headless Arthas idea is awesome,and I look forward to seeing Apheraz's sorceress skin.

 

[Heinvers]

IIRC yes. Been awhile since I've textured Death Knight model. Cool color scheme by the way.

 

[Traggey]

Cheers Hein! What really makes me sad is his legs, whos brilliant idea was it to place them INSIDE the horse.

 

[Misha]

Blame Blizzard

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

A tiny bit of a preview; started on the face - as usual.
Got that creepy look going, but I'm not sure about the dress. I'll most likely end up with white, or maybe white stained with blood? We shall see.

Oh, and also a partial removal of her bangs which I'm not yet happy about, but there are tricks to hide them, so this is just a base alpha removal concept.

 

[Traggey]

Looking good Apheraz! Nice rendering on the face and neat make up! Diggin' it!

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Love those eyes,

 

[Heinvers]

For the dress, you can try some symbols or patterns imprinted on it. For example, something like these:

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers those dresses have nothing spooky in them, only laughable design

 

[Traggey]

The theme isn't spooky, the theme is halloween, and those are without doubt, halloween dresses.

 

[Heinvers]

@Heinvers those dresses have nothing spooky in them, only laughable design

Clearly you're missing the point of these. Those are themed dresses for All Hallows Day, not intended as spooky but merely thematic in nature.

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers / @Traggey but I still find them very 'meh'

but anyway.. xD

shading done

 

[Murlocologist]

Evil Pumpkineer wip.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Normally I'm rather 'meh' about these texturing Contests, but:

I'll be turning Arthas into a headless horseman!

Dang if that isn't a neat idea that just might be useful to my Forsaken race! Hope you can take it in a different direction than this guy. : )

Evil Pumpkineer wip.

Not bad. I really like the detail on the lip.

~~~

(Maybe I should suggest "tribal" for the next (mini) contest... mwahaha.)

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I have an idea I'll give it in a week. Need to finish something first D:

Looks pretty neat! I suggest to tone down highlights on the cape, it seems metallic atm. And the horse's face too. I can't wait for the final result.

The skin color seems to be naga-ish but oh well it's just a wip and can't wait for an update. I'm really looking forward to the clothing job.

 

[Traggey]

Thanks for the feedback Nightmare, yeah I'll deffo be going over the highlights once I've got a more complete project, I tend to overdo them in order to make sure they show up well in-engine, since the units are so small.

 

[Sclammerz]

I might be able to join this one!

 

[Traggey]

Do ieeeet!

 

[Moy]

I might be able to join this one!

I would love to see what you'll come up with.

 

[Heinvers]

I might be able to join this one!

I'd say go for it. You can never know what you'd achieve without trying first :]

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Thanks for feedback and suggestions

Well, the concept is actually based on the Grudge movie(s):

But I do see your point.

 

[Archian]

Lookin' good people! Keep em' comin'

 

[Murlocologist]

I still have no idea what wrap/mesh is but I know Villager's cheeks are damn hard to get right. Well, gimp is surely not the best tool for textures.

Yeah, it looks pretty shitty.

 

[Traggey]

I'm liking where you're going with that Murloc! The facial hair looks really twisted, as if it's half tentacle half hair!

Heh, well I'm not so sure if that was intentional but I can tell you his beard gave me a hard time.

 

[Sclammerz]

Started the face. Did some pumpkin face (but looks like a robot).
