Purdy Pink Illidan (finnishing up... finally)

[Denu]

Well this is a year old skin which I finall started back up again. Got most of it done. Hair, hoofs, and tats is all that I need to finnish. Of course there will be some minor tweeks too. Such as his little head band thingy needs more contrast. So I will darken the area around the eyes and will also be doing some more reflective glows here and there. Horns look kinda weird so i might do them as well.

Critique away.

P.S. at this rate I might get my SII stuff done about a year from now

I've always loved this texture, it's way too awesome. =)

I wish I still had my Burning Crusade Illidan skin
Sadly, it was lost when I moved to using my laptop..

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

I think you also need to put a texture on his horns. It looks, meh... :|

 

[Jetherit]

Everything is too defined imo. That's a compliment to you, but a detriment to the skin itself. Maybe try blurring it a tad.

 

[Denu]

Blurring is bad. It is a bit too defined but WIII skins generally need to be well defined. Much of this skin is a year old and I am just trying to skin the rest of it to the way I had going back then. I could make it less defined but that would be a big edit. And if I were to get going down that path. Then I wouldn't likely ever return Actually what I would like to do is finnish this skin and then totally redo it high res as the traditional grayish blue Illidan.

On another note, the portrait and the full model use the texture differently. I was trying out the tats and looking at the portrait then swapped to the full body and it all stretched funny. Should I skin it to the full body model or the portrait? I was leaning towards full body because you wont be able to see them much in the portrait but that sorta goes for the full body as well.

 

[THE_END]

Full bod
BRING ON THE TATS!

 

[Denu]

Well I hurt my left eye somehow. And has been bugging me the past day and a half. So I can't really sit in front of the computer for long periods of time skinning. I don't anticipate it putting me back more than a couple of days.

That sort of led to this. Got bored and since I couldn't skin much I did this... Put my skin on the texture for Illidan transformed and this is what I got. Oh the possibilities!!! It would be a bitch cause the wings use the texture of his right arm but I allready have an idea for a solution to that. Don't worry I wont be running off and do this. However tempting it may be. My first priority is getting my skin done.

Oh just saw something. The portrait would be weird cause of the glow but I could work around that.

 

[THE_END]

DON'T DO IT!
Trying to skin the transformed version will drive you MAD!

 

[Denu]

DON'T DO IT!
Trying to skin the transformed version will drive you MAD!

Allready there.

 

[thisruoy]

Wat i dont get is
If Illidan already has wings
Why does he transform to have different wings?

 

[Denu]

Cause blizz is weird. They never needed an evil Illidan. Transformed one was more than awsome. When TFT came out I thought Illidan devolved or something since he absorbed guldan's skull in RoC.

 

[~Void~]

The swords are cool
Or whatever you call his weapons.

 

[Denu]

They are called "things" as far as I am concerned.

Well I had an idea. I had always thought the satyr skin had a rather DH feel to it. Sooooooooo, I put on a satyr skin of mine (shiny rep for the genius who figures out what skin it is) and the legs and tail matched up perfectly. If I do a little searching for the horns and kept the skin a fairly uniform color (which I think is how it would look best anyways) I could easily see this as a viable skin. I cnped some shit together and vwalla (no idea how to spell that) I got this:

 

[THE_END]

It's Dennedar, that skin
I needa see a better shot with no glow to see the full effects sir!

 

[Denu]

Must spread rep But the glow comes with the package I am afraid. I might be able to remove it from the viewer but I cant do anything about ingame less I do a model edit. And I am no modeler.

Here are some pics so you can see better. The arm is part of the waist there. The back looks bad but all DH's share that problem. Uniform colors with dark tones could yield something interesting. In fact this is one of the things I am considering skinning for the contest.

 

[THE_END]

That is crazy
I do not think anyone has tackled the transformed DH wrap ever..it just scares me

 

[frostwhisper]

Hm... the color of those pants doesn't go so well with the rest of him. Perhaps recolor them to a dark brown to black even...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I think it was a test, those are CnPed from a previous texture of his.

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah I know they're from that satyr skin. But like I said, they don't match really good with Illidan.

 

[LiOneSS]

awesome, dude!

Dude, are you serious?

That's what I said also
I would say finish your normal Illidan before pursuing these intricate ways of the transformed Demon Hunter skin

 

[Chaos Overlord]

It loks like you missed a part of his leg armor, cuz on his torso his armor drops at a 90 degree angle about halfway across him.

 

[Denu]

I need 4-5 hours of nonstop skinning to finnish my skin. I dont have that time at the moment. But I do have 10 minutes. Thats all it took me to do what I did with the transformed DH. I got finals and all that bs right now.
