Next Texturing Contest

I think the idea would be that it still has to suit it's role (the title and race). So by recreating the Death Knight, it has to remain a Death Knight and an Undead. You can't make a riding Medivh out of it, for instance, although that also could've been cool.

Recreating a Human hero limits you to making a human, dwarf, blood elf or gnome hero within the bounds of the original concept. Recreating a Night Elf hero limits you to making a night elf or ancient hero within the bounds of the original concept. Recreating a Orc hero limits you to making an orc, troll or tauren hero within the bounds of the original concept. Recreating a Undead hero limits you to making a dead human or a dead beast hero within the bounds of the original concept. Correct me if I'm missing something.

so if we go by this theme, are the tavern heroes also included?

when you say it like that, yeah the concept does seem rather limited.
