Modeling Mini Contest #3 - Starcraft Critters

[D a w n]

Contest Theme: Starcraft-Critters

Contestants are to make a model of a critter model that shall represent something from the Starcraft universe(something like a baby ultralisk or a wannabe-zealot) or that could fit into it.

1. This time animations are not needed due to the lack of time. But feel free to add a stand animation to your model for presentation in case you added some effects to it
2. There is no poly limit but please keep it reasonable
3. You can use either ingame or custom textures (just be sure to submit them along with your entry)

• No submission may violate any Hive Workshop site rules.
• The model must follow the current theme. If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you ASAP as to avoid confusion.
• You have to make sure the model is fully and correctly functional in-game.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• You may make as many models as you want, however pick only one for the final judge's evaluation.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your model(s) in .mdx format, and an in-game screenshot of the model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires and attach it to a post.
• You must make the model for this competition, which means that you cannot use old works.

• First Place: 10 reputation points, a sc2 beta key and your entry on an award icon.
• Second Place: 5 reputation points & a sc2 beta key
  
• Third Place: a sc2 beta key

[Misha]

EDIT: HappyCockroach.. Scantid's body isn't that flat at the upper part?

 

[Deolrin]

Good luck ya'll.

 

[Amigurumi]

The white will be blue and transparent later.
also, the marine armor (except the tanks) will be teamcolored

 

[HappyCockroach]

HappyCockroach.. Scantid's body isn't that flat at the upper part?

You're right. I'll change it, thanks.

 

[PROXY]

awsome you all so far

EDitOrZ: Ok, WIP-time. I don't like the fact that my model is similar to the other 'kid'-marine like models. I hope I can turn it to a more difference type.

Jim Raynor-Kid in Marine armor

it wille be added a 'skeleton' draw on his armor, a head in the helmet and a awsome sniper

 

[varsaigen]

Is it too late to join? It seems perfect for my amount of free time. No need for anims or special effects... perfect. :3

 

[D a w n]

no, the contest is only around 5 hours old, you still got almost 4 days

 

[Misha]

U yea.. var has joined

 

[Kitabatake]

Damn everyone is making terran kids now...

Whatever. I got some progress with animations:

gifs

(The image quality sucks because of the program I use. They're much smoother in-game)

 

[Amigurumi]

quite awesome. but you know that animations are not necessary?

 

[Deolrin]

Animations are much more awesome than no animations, and those are just plain great.

 

[Kitabatake]

quite awesome. but you know that animations are not necessary?

Yeah I know but I got carried away once I started making one.

 

[varsaigen]

Yeah I know but I got carried away once I started making one.

Nice. Perhaps you could animate a certain model I've been having trouble with since late last year. Those happen to be the sort of animations I planned for it, anyway.

But, I need to focus on my entry now. I'll see about getting a WIP shot soon.

 

[Sorceress]

Lawlz, you guys have great ideas..

 

[Midnighters]

Im joining this.

 

[BrainsUnlimited]

I had to join these forums just for this contest, and now I have, I'm having troubles finding time to actually make my model >_>

 

[Zaljinzoo]

Ah thank god I got my modeling programs back! I'm in!

A few concept ideas: Infested Kerrigan, Jim Raynor infested(YA HEARD ME!), Infested Marine, or a Dark Templar

 

[Midnighters]

Hmm, Idk what I am going to make.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

... A Moon Pig

Seriously though, there is some awesome stuff here! I hope we will see all you amazing modellers pumping out some stuff for sc2 Good luck to all!

 

[skrab]

Too little time to do anything. I already have a beta access anyway.

 

[Devine]

he has a pee animation =/

 

[supertoinkz]

Whoa, too many great modelers :/
I now have a small chance to win :/
BUT I SHOULD NOT SURRENDER >:C
(Amigurumi, I thought you already have a beta key)

Okay here's a WiP picture.
It is still an arachnathid with Hydarlisk texture, more to come later.

It's a Zerg strain that lives in volcanic/hot/magmatic/lavatic/lololol areas. It can swim in lava/magma. And those carapace in his back and tail are dried lava.

Still my creature haz no name :C
(Almost forgot to say, his belly have a messy uv wrap, I can't fix it, but it isn't visible right?)


Edit
Updated a bit by adding teamcolor and eyes (those red spots are tc-ed)

 

[JokeMaster]

Cool job done here. I thoughgt about joining it too but i have no interesting ideas :/ .Hmm but i'd like to join to.
edit: I don't get a part... It must be a critter - right? SO can it be a mix of different warcraft creatures in a SC style?

 

[Zerox]

I may actually try to take a shot at this.

 

[supertoinkz]

WiP Picture 3
Don't know what else do add :C
That rocks/body carapace used the Cliff0 texture, so it changes with the terrain
That give me the idea to name it Terrainlisk.

I may submit it tomorrow.

terralisk, geolisk, uberlisk are all good names for the critter.

 

[HailFireer]

I will try and do something. If I get a good idea...

it has to be a wc3 model with a sc theme. So it can be a zerg but it can also be something like the tauren marine.

 

[HailFireer]

This is my Zergy the Looter. Its still one sided since there is more work to do. Tell me what you think.

 

[Kitabatake]

Hmmh added sunglasses.
I'm starting to run out of ideas on how to improve it...

 

[supertoinkz]

Awesome

 

[D a w n]

Hmmh added sunglasses.
I'm starting to run out of ideas on how to improve it...

maybe some plastic cigarette or a bubble pipe??

 

[Deolrin]

A water tank on his back would be cool.
Or maybe a COM system?

 

[tee.dubs]

does it have to be something from starcraft or fit the starcraft style explicitly? or can it be an alien that looks like it could have been influenced from the game creatures? I ask because i have no experience with starcraft and have some fairly good ideas regarding aliens...
