Primalist (Keeper of the Grove)

Hey! Here is my entry for the Texturing Contest #32 - Final Form

Keeper of the Groves final form: Primalist!

Turned by the sway and furry of the Primalists, this
elven keeper of the green now brings forth savage elemental power. 🪨

The other icons, are just a pair I made to show what they could look like in union with the skin. Will upload them later as icons and then make a bundle after the competition.

[ @Footman16 ] This seems like a "Rock" type of KOTG with the armor texture around him. I do enjoy the color scheme you choose for the horns and arm piece. It does seem like some sort of demonic type of KOTG which is a cool version of him...

How to say it? This skin color is not very suitable, it is very suitable for demons. If you add a demon version, it makes sense.
Hmm interesting idea, I had thought of making an emerald nightmare version since that is what cenarius ended up with during legion, but it seemed to on the nose and not very... hmm original for the final form contest. But maybe a more fel like keeper with green demon fire and black rocks to go with the purple skin :3

:ogre_love:


I used therazane the earth mother as an initial inspiration for the skin :3 View attachment Therazane.webp

Then he should use the elemental magic of the earth, and not guard the groves, haha :xxd:

Look great but.... where is your WIPs? You do need to explain the progress in that thread: Texturing Contest #32 - Final Form

You need at least two posts of WIP and then you can safely final an entry.

Edit: Archian responded, you gotta go proceed that.
I didnt knwo that was a requierment? Is it to check or follow progress before final entry?

Ahhh i think i forgot to read the full rule requierment, just now saw what it entailed. Damn so sorry. I understand its to see and check that its a legit submission and not one you just pulled forth from way before the contest started. Sorry I didnt know. It's too late now though? Can't really go back in time and post WIPs now?

When you say post my layered versions, do you mean as WIPs inside the threat?
My apology for the late reponse. No, the actual file you work this skin in. Given that you can't undo the unsaved progress, the layered file (psd, pdn, etc..) that has all the layer when working on this texture is your other proven option here.

I talked with Archian and he responded:

"Hello TheZodirch,

You can still enter. Just post some WIP's in the thread before the contest ends on Sep 6."

So im just gonna do some WIP images with the layers and other shots before the finale skin and its added touches :D

is there a way we could use this texture side by side with the default wc3 keeper model?

I was to use Primalist as a optional skin for players that beat my map on a certain difficulty. But the default Keeper is the default model. So my map needs both. I vaguely know how to copy the model but will take me hours if anyone could help more efficiently. thank you.

Update: thanks to @DREADMAN fulfilling my request this skin has been added to Defense of Felwood as the "Heroic" difficulty (third highest) skin reward!

It does seem like some sort of demonic type of KOTG which is a cool version of him. Furthermore, it seems suitable for approval and i do enjoy the outcome of the colors used and the rock type "demonic" armor. Also, the pathing is correct.
