lol why?

 

[Cavman]

lol why?

Because 1) It's Pacific Northwestern Native American style and 2) it looks familular.

 

[THE_END]

Ok well...I think we should do a race conversion contest again. They always go over well and everyone generally likes them

 

[Just_Spectating]

Yay!

 

[communist_orc]

Steampunk? would be difficult but I think the textures could be usefull.

lol, i think everything will start looking goblin-ish

 

[communist_orc]

goblin-dwarfishly. Sounds good to me^^

 

[THE_END]

Ok, well I talked to chrome, he should be starting the contest soon hopefully

 

[Just_Spectating]

yay!

Idea for Texturing Contest #17's Theme!

...Bling?

I think that skinning units to be as excessively shiny and elaborate as possible could really challenge a lot of skinners to do something that isn't usually done much on here. There's a lot of room for creativity too, anything from golems made of crystals to engraved silver siege vehicles to palace guards clad in gold armor and jewels.

Just throwing out my idea here, let me know what you think!

 

[Teaspoon]

Sounds awesome! I would love to see a gangsta-villager with some blings!

 

[Dionesiist]

Sounds tempting.

 

[Pyritie]

merged

 

[supertoinkz]

sooooo, what is the theme?

Asian or Futuristic?
Please Asian or any other, I hate futurisitc -.- ( can't think of a funny idea for it)

What about an undead theme?

 

[Dionesiist]

Define... asian...

 

[67chrome]

Shiny stuff sounds pretty cool...
the categories posted for last contest are all just as viable as well, an orc racial conversion would be cool (involving anything that could make it into the horde, trolls, tauren, etc.).

steampunk dwarf/goblin/gnome style could be interesting as well.

 

[Arowanna]

Agreed with Chrome, Orc Racial converison would be nice.
Part from that, lore based?

 

[thisruoy]

Can we reskin something organic, to make it look mechanical?

 

[THE_END]

Orc Race conversion is a nice idea. I always do like race conversion ones ^_^, I'm in

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I would be in too. but me wants the pheonix competition first D:

 

[Dionesiist]

Objection!

 

[Pyritie]

what do you guys say to having the UI one next?

 

[Arowanna]

UI would really own!
I would even give it a try D:

 

[Red]

A UI contest would be unique and useful, but I don't think you'd have many submissions by the time the contest ended, sadly; and the Asian theme just seems like a bad racist joke waiting to happen. Futuristic/steam punk could be fun and doable for most skinners, as would racial conversion.

 

[M0rbid]

I like the idea of an UI contest very much! On the other hand Red shift might be right, but wouldn't a public show, if there are enough users who would like to participate in such a contest?

 

[THE_END]

A UI contest would require ALOT of time, and it's a whole ton of work, if anything, we could have people team up for ths contest

 

[Deolrin]

If the contest will last two months instead of one month, I bet there's going to be quite a few entries.

 

[Dionesiist]

Go ahead, make an UI contest. You'll soon watch as people fail because it's too much and they're lazy.

 

[ike_ike]

If the contest will last two months instead of one month, I bet there's going to be quite a few entries.

And everyone who didn't enter is gonna have to wait half a year, what with extensions and non existent judging and all that.

 

[THE_END]

Skinners will lose interest and none of the WIPs will be finished, UI is fail

 

[Pyritie]

I still would really like to try one at some point. Maybe now isn't the best time.

July-September seems to be the time when the fewest people have exams.

 

[Arowanna]

Why not create 2 contests?
Just for fun?
*Arowanna goes plixplox!"

 

[Red]

...Texturing contest pretty please...?

 

[Dionesiist]

Yes? Please?

 

[M0rbid]

Maybe we could find two users who would host contests:

One texturing contest as usual and one UI contest with longer duration, like 2 or 3 month, i guess, many users would be able and motivated to make UI's if they have a huge amount of time for it.

 

[Dionesiist]

Just do it.

 

[M0rbid]

Who can host a contest?

 

[D a w n]

everyone can do it

 

[M0rbid]

Hm, I would do it, but I'm frightened I don't have to much time and I'm not experienced with al the stuff that is needed for it, so I think I can't, unfortunattely

 

[Kazzo]

So ui Theme and?....

 

[67chrome]

Well, start throwing out some ideas. If there is enough of a fallowing for one of them I'll start up a contest for it, or get one of my skin-mod buddies to do it so I can join in the fun XD

Anyways, here is my contribution to the ideas for texturing contest #17

elementals
-transform a unit into an elemental. The element the creature represents could be fire, water, air, earth, or something else, like blood, stone, metal, argon...whatever vaguely fits the basic idea.

steampunk
-Make a unit look as though it was constructed through goblin or gnomish engineering.

orc racial conversion
-convert a unit into an orc. The orcish race includes orcs, trolls, tauren, chaos orcs, ogres, dragons, goblins, worgs, kodos, wyverns, and anything else that appeared under some form of orcish leadership in wc1,2,and3.

Buildings
-because there isn't that many building skins on this site. The theme could be expanded to include all doodads that look like buildings as well.

the bling theme posted on page 11 seems interesting.

UIs seem overwhelmingly involved, I'm not sure more than two people would finish a contest like that...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Lol, you know me, id vote for steampunk anyday xD

I don't think elemental would be a good idea :/ i mean... there isnt really much you could do with that and a lot of people would just make magma fire people or water people that have no defined body, just kind of a magma/watery texture stretched over whatever.

Orc conversion could be good, but i dont know how you could turn a normal unit into a tauren

BUILDING CONTEST! TOTALLY!! we neeed a building contest, NO ONE ever makes building skins.

 

[Red]

Sounds good.

Elemental's a so-so idea, those kinda skins are rarely up to snuff.
Steampunk sounds like fun. I'd go for that.
Orc conversion seems like a challenge, but deninitely doable.
Buildings have to be my favorite idea on the table so far, more so even than my own bling idea.

Someone get a poll up, lets get the theme decided and get underway as soon as possible. I know I can't be the only one who's tires of sitting around...

 

[Deolrin]

Not like it matters or something, but I think steampunk sounds nice. That, or UI.

 

[M0rbid]

I like the idea of the buildings, too, because it would be something idfferent and new, but I think it has to be defined more. FOr example saying we shall reskins a building so it fits steampunk or scifi, or something.

 

[Red]

I guess buildings would be a more tangible idea if there was a specific theme to them, but I'd think not being restricted by a theme would draw more people in to the contest if they were allowed to just let their creativity run wild.

Maybe do an orc racial conversion with buildings? The orcs got tired of sleeping on the dirt in their burrows, and captured a castle!

Perhaps this theme could even be broadened to "captured buildings"... Imagine what the scourge would do if they got a hold of an Altar of Kings.

 

[supertoinkz]

Well, yeah buildings.
