Modeling Contest #28 - Wizards

[Direfury]

Already working on animations. I love the simpler mesh right now.

Stand Ready

 

[Kyrbi0]

Got big plans for this model. I've abandoned the other concept entirely. I intend to make this much more impressive than it appears.

Gnome Arcanist

Noice. Getting a definite "FF black mage" vibe from it, which is nifty.

 

[clockwork2]

Or Velgar from LoL. Could look like both, I could just hug that adorable little guy right now!

 

[Direfury]

If you're making comparisons, I would prefer Veigar.

That whole look is the only good bit of content in the entire final fantasy franchise. Yes, that includes design, story and gameplay. I can't believe people actually like it.


Anyway, the animating process is going well. However, I have so many options open for the Arcanist that I'm having trouble deciding on which to use.

 

[clockwork2]

Apologies Direfury for the name mix-up. And I suppose that is pretty true.

 

[Deolrin]

People are entitled to their own opinions, I suppose. But yeah, very reminiscent of Vivi.

 

[Exarch]

Omg! my college has started, 9 hour french lessons in a day, my brain gonna blow soon. And i'm still trying to find a nice, working tutorial for Max 2014's exporting as mdx. I think i can not finish this concept, i wish a good luck to you guys i really like every single concepts you guys working on.

 

[Direfury]

So, I feel like utter shit right now. Couldn't even hold down my breakfast. However, I've managed to get my Gnome Arcanist to an acceptable state of completion. If I can't figure out how to improve him further, this is my submission.

For clarity, the "Morph" animation is an all-purpose transformation, while Spell Gold/Lumber Alternate were meant to be used with triggers as individual transformations for their respective forms. Considering the way animation tags work, both forms have a Morph animation, allowing the Arcanist to transform back into his base state without the same triggering hassle as it would take to get INTO those forms.

If anyone has any questions, let me know.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Sorry to hear your feeling sick. Lookin' pretty good, though.

 

[Chen]

Good thing you still managed to do that even if you're sick. Maybe your model is infected as well, because it looks sick! Ha!

Not funny, I love that effects, such power! And I guess you also need to release that Waterform model individually, it looks great.

 

[Direfury]

Not really sick, it was just some bad rice that didn't stay down. Felt uneasy for a few hours afterwards, but y'know.

The model wouldn't work at first, and I felt like I was gonna throw up; I probably would've just handed in an incomplete model and just said "Here, if someone can help me fix it then it's done, if not, look'it" if I didn't manage to fix it before I started puking.

 

[Roland]

Off Topic: Maybe you ate fake rice... O,o
On Topic: Goodluck to the contestants! I hope one of you wins <3

 

[clockwork2]

Man that Gnome mage is awesome... But I still like Holder of Entropy more.

How can one of them not win?

 

[Stefan.K]

I just want to apologize because I will not be able to finish my entry. I wanted to finish it but I simply don't have time, the college started and I'm done with modding. Maybe I'll finish the entry sometimes and upload it but it won't be soon. Good luck everyone, great entries. I honestly wait for the other entries (Tauer, BE, Proxy...) to be finished.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I present you the Hierophant.

A highly spiritual demi-human creature from the forest, familiar to elemental magic and able to predict the future.

just showing some concept arts. still a bit unsure about its outfits though...

 

[Direfury]

Looks like a clothed Wendigo. I love it.

Look into some North American Native ceremonial dress, that might provide some good inspiration for the concept.

 

[PROXY]

I'd totally go for the non-skirt more wildish look.

Witcher 3 - Leshen

This could provide some inspiration. Not exactly semi-human but kinda has that look.

Edit: New Belt for the eredar lady. Don't have enough time to start a new model. Still, there are many things that need to be perfected on the eredar. Struggeling with finding a fitting animation set and creating a staff.

 

[Hantoo]

Skecth

While others are already completing their stuff, I decided to back to step one and make a sketch base of my mesh to make things easier, No progress on mesh yet, Hope I could finish it in time even though most probably won't, still have about less than 3 weeks huh?

feels like mine is the most not creative one =.=

Maybe I should change to Solar Power Mage or sumthin? or some Fairy or sumthin

 

[clockwork2]

Lunar Mage eh? For those of you who played Warlock MoTA, PRAISE LUNORD!!!!!!

 

[PROXY]

Nice concept Hayate.

Staff for our lady. Still looking for another texture for the wood, as it is too "light" and not dark and demony enough yet. Also not sure if to keep the crystals tc or make them green. TC looks better yet green makes them more demony (and synergises ith the shouderpads and eyes).

The crystal outlines are layered with a modulated TC. I've never worked with that filter before but here it looks pretty amazing.

 

[MatiS]

Hi Guys, I'm back :-D. I had little time last month, but I've made this:

A you can see, I decided to create something much more original :-D. I'm thinking about givin' her glow,but I'm still unsure ;-).


PS: real animation looks much nicer than gif .

Maybe give the Limbs a little volume or anatomy?
it's fancy, but legs is lil...... to thin for warcraft

Woah, sick. I really like it, reminds me of MtG's Voice of Resurgence. "Hierophant" sounds really weird for a name (absolutely fantastic word, mind you, just sounds more like a super-ultra priest or something organized like that), but the definition doesn't show anything amiss, so meh. Still, something like "animist" or what-have-you makes sense.

I really like your concept art; very clean & nicely detailed, good proportions. Man I wish I could draw like that. :<

It may or may not be the "most original", but originality isn't the only Criteria; make a solid model in every respect and it won't matter if yours wasn't the most original.

If you are looking for 'original' ideas (do you even have time at this point to reconsider?)... Well, don't look at me. You know all I'll say is "MOAR TROLLZ!".

(Kidding. There's plenty of ideas to go around)

I absolutely love the effect of those textures on the crystals.

Not a bad direction, but I'm really worried about the proportions; in particular, those limbs are tiny spaghetti noodles. Needs some heft! But good work with the double-flapping-wings.

 

[clockwork2]

I agree... Those arms look like twigs.....

 

[MatiS]

I improved arms and legs.

Spell Channel Animation

I tried to add yellow glow during this anim, but it didn't go well :-(.

 

[Direfury]

you need to get mdlvis and blend the vertices on her elbows to fix that... problem.

 

[Gluma]

I really hope this qualifies as a wizard.

 

[DEE-BOO]

Slizzard wizard lizard eating gizzards shooting blizzards.

 

[Radagast]

I Might join this if i have the time for it next week to Whip out a model.

Concept art

My main concern is the animations, they might need a lot of work

 

[Kyrbi0]

I really hope this qualifies as a wizard.

Of course it does! (which one?)

What happened to that Pyromancer, though? You could literally just dump that into this & walk away with something, as schweet as it is...

 

[Chen]

I really hope this qualifies as a wizard.

No, not A wizard but wizardX3 so it's triple the greatnss. Those lizmen look cute af XD

 

[Hantoo]

Judging on my procrastinating power and my school project to prioritize, i mpst probably cannpt finish my entry ;( i should have done my project earlier

aww.. all those nice ideas turning to a ruin Pun jokingly intended xD

and all the rest of the guys are doing great, methinks, Gluma's 4-Lizard is going to be nuts if it gets animated right xD

 

[WhiteFang]

I really hope this qualifies as a wizard.

Bloody hell that looks awesome

 

[knight26]

I really hope this qualifies as a wizard.

At least it qualifies as a Lizard.

 

[clockwork2]

At least it qualifies as a Lizard.

This guy

 

[WhiteFang]

At least it qualifies as a Lizard.

........awesome xD

 

[PROXY]

Nearly finished now. A few animation tweaks and I'll see if I can make up some sfx, but I never was good at that stuff.

Magnificent!

 

[Direfury]

Decided to fix some of the spell effects for my Arcanist, since they were rather lacking.

 

[HappyCockroach]

a wip i bring thee:

mesh almost done... should do some tweaking and some accessories/cloth stuff...
(im around 600 tris)

i hope i can finish in time :v

 

[Roland]

Woah, Nice model, I hope you can make it as fast as you can ^^

 

[MatiS]

I still need attack, birth and portrait animations, particle emmiters and 'fade' effect in death anim. I hope I'll manage to finish model in time...

 

[Deolrin]

Go go guys! Only a few days left. I'm not averse to an extension, but only if enough people can convince me they'll actually finish their work. 2 weeks is my maximum.

with 2 weeks of extension i've no doubt i'll finish mine. but i feel bad for having to ask for an extension with so much time we had to finish our entries... ._.

You might wanna update the first post with my finished entry.

 

[Hantoo]

I could just rush my stuff in like 2 days with a low quality stuff but this timing... I am very busy....

 

[Wasabee]

So there are 6 entries now?
