Modeling Contest #27 - Colossus\Final Boss

[Pvt.Toma]

I call it Humbaba. It's unrelated to Mesopotamia(Mesh and everything) but I can't think of any name so yeah.

 

[Heinvers]

....maybe the physical manifestation of the God from my novel series?

Curious, waiting to see how this will develop for you

 

[Edge45]

So the storm begins (again), and we got alot of strong thunder's around here too, perphaps its time to make this Iron Juggernaut, in Wc3 style

The Iron Juggernaut

 

[Direfury]

Curious, waiting to see how this will develop for you

Honestly, the first big manifestation involves a giant eyeball on the moon. I'd have to figure out which God I'd be portraying, if not the one behind that event.

 

[Hantoo]

no problem. now go join the modeling contest or i will eat your babies.

Ok.. because He Cured my One Day Craziness, to thank him, I decided to Join,

What Im Gonna Make is: Mountain's Arm The Arm sounds Cooler
A Legendary Mountain Golem Got Lured into some Quicksand, Left his Arm At the Surface, And Will Whack anyone in its way. *He Has Eye on His Palm*

Making the Model Now

Warcraft Finger!!

[-Grendel]

pretty much done with the upper body. only need to complete the shack on his back (totally not rhyming on purpose)
also, the crystals look much better in model editor. it doesn't show the correct texture filters on mdlvis.

[Misha]

-Grendel, are you kidding me?

very, very spiffy it really looks great

 

[Hantoo]

I will continue Work on Mine after I done some of the "Not Too Hard" Request...
(Clearing the Flood, and Extra Request Doesn't help at all (And I can't resist to Not Do the extra request tho))

 

[Chen]

So, working on an upright walking dragon shit named "Harbinger of Twilight and it will have a heavy Cataclysm inspired theme and is a black dragon with tentacles? The tail animation in fine but can someone help me in the death animation where he floats a little even it's not dissipate time yet.

i dunno, Chen.. not too sure what exactly you were editing or on which model you based this one.. but you could maybe be able to tweak that in mdlvis..
(i'd help tweak that, but perhaps only after the contest.. unless Deo specifies different ruleset)

 

[Deolrin]

You cannot directly help someone model. That includes tweaking.

 

[MiniMage]

Well, Misha did specify that he would only help after the contest.

 

[Deolrin]

In which case it is absolutely fine, of course. ^^

 

[CreatorD3292]

WIP.

Maybe it look so unbalance.

T_T

 

[MiniMage]

I actually kinda like it. I'm not sure why this reminds me of the redeemer from NOD.
A Gnome Redeemer. That would be a cool entry. ;D

Good luck, CreatorD3292. It's a great start. ;D

Well, I based it on the Pitlord model but I'll rig it to the abomination instead.

 

[Direfury]

Decided to join in, with what I'm calling Amonrath the Unbound, a corrupted Demon Warlord.

I intend to make Amonrath more of a Raid Boss style character, with plenty of flair in his attacks.

 

[Deolrin]

Is he supposed to be large, though?

 

[Direfury]

Significantly larger than a Footman at present.

I meant it when I said 'Raid Boss'.

Like Illidan, or any big boss from WoW.

 

[Deolrin]

Eh, I suppose that's good enough. I must say that this contest focuses more on the 'colossus' part than the 'final boss' part, and even then WoW was definitely not the primary inspiration. I thought more about Shadow of the Colossus, or maybe even some of the Final Fantasy games. Think 'massive creature', not 'powerful being'. In WoW terms think of a Titan, or an Old God, or Deathwing.

It's still alright though, as long as it's fairly large. ^^

 

[HappyCockroach]

to me that mesh is perfectly suitable for a humanoid colossus
its texture and animations will determine if it feels like a regular unit or a colossus...

 

[Callahan]

I'm the one who suggested the theme.My inspiration were Monster Hunter, Tera BAM.

 

[stonneash]

Im making a wyvern that uses he bones of its victims as armor becuase its skin is so soft and without all the bones, its defenseless.

Wips

1. Dragon turtlish texture with a skull helmet

2. Changed the texture, added the rest of the mesh, il be tweaking the texture soon this is just temporary.

 

[Direfury]

M'kay.

Basically, the thought for my model was more in-line with characters such as Kil'Jaeden or Archimonde, who have both been significantly larger than almost any other character on Warcraft 3, and wouldn't have looked out of place at the same scale as any other character.

If it weren't for them, I would've opted for a giant Dragon.

 

[Heinvers]

@ stonneash

That mesh just begs for custom texture ;P

 

[stonneash]

Yeah maybe I can find someone who can make a texture for this after the contest, because Im not good at it myself...

it doesn't really matter what was one thinking when suggested the theme... if you make your model big and with a high-res and epic texture, and epic animations with a lot of impact and such, it will feel like a colossus, even if it isn't a dragon or a giant beast...

don't know how people always make confusion with contest themes... that is up to the contestant, if you're up to a humanoid colossus, go for it, it's perfectly fine, as long as you think it's fine :|

 

[-Grendel]

Contestants are to create a massive, boss-type unit for a party of heroes to face in combat. Hulking Giants, ancient Dragons, unbound Elementals, deadly mechanical constructs and voracious Krakens - anything that looks like it could crush an Ogre under its heel is fair game in this competition! The idea is to supply proper gigantic, boss-level models for mapmakers so that they wouldn't have to use upscaled Warcraft III models, which tend to look bad and incredibly low-quality.

please take note of the bold text. i think that's pretty much simple to understand ya?
basically create an enormous/ hulking giant/BIG model. also, in my humble opinion, this is by far the SIMPLEST modeling contest theme we ever had.

 

[HappyCockroach]

yeah, that is the point, it is simple :|

but the more we talk about it the more it seems like it isn't :v

btw... a few ideas for what i might do...

although i'm inclined to do the female glutton beast thing, i'd like to do a weird insect kind of thing as 2 :v

 

[-Grendel]

Oh man, just imagine the horrors those huge saggy badonkadonks will bring to warcraft.. I LIKE IT!

 

[Deolrin]

The female creatures remind me of broodmothers from Dragon Age. All of the concepts look pretty damn sweet.

It's make me remind a character in starwar but i don't remember it well.

 

[-Grendel]

Uhh.. Jabba?

 

[CreatorD3292]

Uhh.. Jabba?

OH YES. That him xD.

 

[Linaze]

If I could model I would make a Shingeki no Kyojin titan.
Alas I cannot, but others are making great stuff anyway it seems, keep it up.

 

[Direfury]

Might not be a good idea, Linaze. Apparently, humanoid submissions are the worst possible idea ever.

 

[-Grendel]

its not the worst idea, mine's a humanoid colossus. just get on with your entry, we're just specifying that there's no need to argue about the theme because its fucking simple. just create something detailed and HUGE.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Might not be a good idea, Linaze. Apparently, humanoid submissions are the worst possible idea ever.

Don't be silly, man... It's not about it being humanoid. It's more about that you seem to be focusing on the "final boss" bit, where most others are focusing on the "Colossus" bit (which, arguably, was the genesis of the whole thing). It's not "wrong"; might make comparisons difficult.

Fat guy PLZ. It's pretty rare to see models like that.

 

[Deolrin]

No one has ever said that... As mentioned before, your current concept will work just fine assuming you can make it feel sufficiently epic through animations and texture. There's no need to get upset over this. :O

 

[Callahan]

Might not be a good idea, Linaze. Apparently, humanoid submissions are the worst possible idea ever.

Actualy it can be a good exercise if you make a human but manage to make it feel giant with animations and details.
