[Skin & Icon request] Blackrock Orcs

[Isgeir]

Hello!

I've got a simple request. I need reskin of certain Fel Orc units, making them Blackrock orcs, that is gray-skinned ones. I could theoretically use red, fel orcs to represent them, but it's not appropriate I think as I would like to make my Dark Horde (composed in large part of Blackrock and Dragonmaw orcs, but not exclusively) as close to lore as it's possible.

I would want request of this units:
- Fel Orc Peon
- Fel Orc Grunt
- Fel Orc Rider
- Fel Orc Warlock
- Fel Orc/Orc Blademaster

Also, I'm in the process of gaining permission from authors of this models:
- Fel Orc Lancer
- Fel Orc Warlord
- Fel Orc Bone Collector
If I'll gain permissions, is there anybody willing to do reskin of said models?

I would also like to make request for icons of said units.

 

[Hermit]

So, you just need those fel orcs (and icons) to be gray-skinned?

 

[Isgeir]

Yep. Dark-gray just like Blackrock orc are.

You should ask Ujimasa Hojo for this if my memory serves right he has a few blackrock units

 

[Isgeir]

I will keep it here, but thank you for this suggestion.

 

[chr2]

I could do a couple of those, if you don't mind getting slightly edited recolors.

 

[Isgeir]

I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by this, but if you want to help you're really welcome.

Here's what I've done with the grunt so far:

Would you prefer if I redid the armor as well into something more Blackrock-esque, or should I just move on to the next one?

 

[Isgeir]

Well now that looks just awesome, thank you very much! If you could also edit his armor to fit Blackrock style more, as you said, it would be really great.

 

[Edge45]

Oh..! this orc looks good, Perphaps if you are finish chr2, i may also use this skin.

Iirc their eyes werent ghostly, they would be rather still red due to not renouncing ties with daemons, or burn due to dragon's blood.

Edit: Nvm, memory didnt serve right.

 

[Isgeir]

Well, I think their eyes were as chr2 made them - look at Rend Blackhand.

 

[chr2]

Yeah, the eyes were inspired by those of Rend as well as several other Blackrock orcs throughout Azeroth. I was planning on making it a unique feature for the Grunt, though. Speaking of which, here's an update:

Grunt

I think the armor design turned out okay-ish. There isn't much official artwork for Blackrock orcs, and their armor is kinda random in WoW, so I had to sort of improvise along the way.
Anyway, unless you're unhappy with the design, the only thing I need to figure out now is the color scheme. I came up with two variations, but it could be neither. Tell me what you think.

 

[Isgeir]

First one, that is this on the left side, is really, really good. I always imagined Blackrock orcs as heavy-armored, in darkiron plates, left one skin is closer to my vision, but both are neat. As I must choose, I choose obviously this more black-ish. Also, I think his skin could be just a little bit lighter gray. But that's only a suggestion.

 

[chr2]

Aight, black one it is. It was my favourite as well. Honestly, I don't really wanna touch his skin too much. How about I make the next one lighter? That way there's also some variation in their skin color.
Figured I'd upload it then, unless you have any last minute objections.

 

[Isgeir]

Upload as you wish, of course! Skin is great.

 

[Edge45]

Yes..yes
This is what I needed, um, Isgeir, can you also add
the Kodo Beast and Grom hellscream in those list


Edit: Also keep the Team Color chr2 plss, Am I be in trouble with this post?

[Isgeir]

Read what's written in here. Read carefully.

 

[chr2]

Started working on the warlock. Here's what I've done with the shield so far:

Blackrock Lock

The things below the Blackrock symbol are just placeholders. Not really sure what to do there.

If youre planning to make a whole set, I suggest you start a thread in the Texturing section

 

[Isgeir]

Can you just, like, start reading what others write and get out of here?

I'm not. I'll make, like, a couple more. The WIPs are just to keep the OP updated.

Awh that's a shame. Would've loved to see the whole set but your choice. Great job on the skins btw. Looks amazing.
