Texturing Competition #10 - Arcane

[Lestat(br)]

In my opinion, this contest's theme is really awful...

 

[Hawkwing]

And when do you think that?

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, I think the theme would've been better as Arcane/Ancestral, or Non arcane --> Arcane as a theme. But I am going to do a different skin.

 

[Hawkwing]

I agree, like I said my intention was caster. But whatever. The results of the contest so far have been great. I love all the textures you guys have came up with.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

and its not finished! <3 XD

Even mine? Naw!

 

[Hawkwing]

Actually I was thinking of yours when I was saying that. But it just didn't fit the theme.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Woot, my internet is finally working again, now to see if it will let me upload images. Moment of truth! FUCK YES!!! SUCCESSFUL UPLOAD!

 

[FamousPker49]

Update. Basically Final. Ice is overdone. Lool.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Its OK.

 

[Hawkwing]

As I said in TS: You need to reduce the amount of ice on his shoulders.

As I didn't say on TS: You need to add more contrast into the ice.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

what! The hive have TS now?!! o()o oh well sadly i removed Ts last year (sorry for this random thing)

Nice work man ... but i don't understand why he has a snowy beard?

 

[Hawkwing]

He's an Ice Mage.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well he could be a frost mage... but.. for example POLAR BEARS are not make of ice... anyway.. nice skin ... <3

 

[communist_orc]

lol, my dude totaly looks like Lestat(br)^^

 

[Lestat(br)]

like me?
may I see it? =D

 

[communist_orc]

sure, here u go

 

[frostwhisper]

Unwrap pls.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, I quit. I have no chance of winning either way. Good luck to everyone. Final Submission.

 

[Hawkwing]

Aww. Too bad. Well it's a decent submission anyways.

 

[communist_orc]

Alright, I quit. I have no chance of winning either way. Good luck to everyone. Final Submission.

I likes it very much!

Unwrap pls.

Why? I feel offended, if someone else is drawing it 4 me, that person could also send me the wips... If your doubting my artistic skills you sourly havnt seen my entry in the steampunk contest, good sir

But alright, ill atach it to this w.i.p...

 

[D a w n]

the unwrap is mainly needed to give better suggestions...^^

I think the colors are a bit too light.

 

[communist_orc]

Yeah, ill finish the cloak & the gloves... Then ill play around with the burn tool to get some contrast

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I am doubting your "artistic skills" because you are using the pencil (Or a hyper small and 100% solid black brush) tool to line your texture, which looks terrible and creates a poor outline for the colors therein. This is also not considering the fact that you smudged the pants, have no sense for how real shading works across the entire texture, have no work flow, no concept, and have basically mutilated the poor druid's musculature.

Besides, you shouldn't be quick to get defensive over your work. Frosty just wanted to see the unwrap since that reveals a lot more about a texture's strong and weak points than a wrapped texture. Having both a wrapped version and unwrapped version allows the best feedback, since you can then qualitatively analyze where the model needs more detail and where it needs less. The truth, though, is that a wrapped model is worthless unless the shot is taken from in-game, but eh, whatever. Can't win them all, I say.

 

[Hawkwing]

Also, if we have the unwrap we can use it to view in the viewer ourselves.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

A valid point, considering how wretched most people are at taking meaningful screenshots.

 

[THE_END]

And commie, you also used sharpen..ALOT, I see it everywhere on that skin

 

[Just_Spectating]

lil w.i.p

W.I.P. 3

added an eye(still in progress) Did more Tenticles and some arcane feet

 

[Mr.Goblin]

wow .. you maked something really suprising.. your the first one to make something that make us forget about the tauren under the model .. Nice job!

 

[Hawkwing]

What you've done with the totems on his back is just ridiculous and defeats any sense of the arcane theme.

 

[Xatoga]

I dont think so. The Mana forges and whatnot in Netherstorm (WOW-talk here) have bunches of vials and syringes and whatnot filled with arcane energy.

 

[Hawkwing]

But do they have caution signs and bright white steel polls mounted on their backs?

 

[Just_Spectating]

heh, instead of telling me how much it sucks, could you give me some positive criticism so i can make it better?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well more highlights and contrast would help... also because of the eye it looks cartonny.. you should work on it abit...

 

[FrIkY]

Ok, here's my another WIP...

Oh yea... and if you think that I used filters on leg, then you're wrong, because I didn't... I used Burn & Dodge tools for that

 

[communist_orc]

Looks sweet dude! Love the electric gloves... But why is it called dodge tool? Its not like it dodges anything, it just makes stuff lighter. Id call it a ... a lighter!

 

[Linaze]

Looks awesome FrIkY, and I think that fits the theme well, though Jaina wasn't perhaps the most creative choice you could've made, still awesome.

 

[Hawkwing]

heh, instead of telling me how much it sucks, could you give me some positive criticism so i can make it better?

Do not criticize my criticism! (jk)

Anyways, well I just think those totems totally defeat the arcane appearance. The rest of the skin is decent, but I think the arcane 'waves' could use heavier highlights giving it a glowing appearance.

 

[Pyritie]

Ok, here's my another WIP...

Oh yea... and if you think that I used filters on leg, then you're wrong, because I didn't... I used Burn & Dodge tools for that

You going to add something to the cape? Right now it looks very monotone.

 

[FrIkY]

Probably... but I kinda like it like this, I tryed with adding TC, but it just ruins it...

Maybe I will put some more of those golden stuff, or something

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The white part of the cape could be less blurry though.

 

[Lestat(br)]

@Just_Spectating:
I think these totems should be invisible on the alpha channel, else you should remove the planes from it erasing the "Caution" signs and then they would be like totems with arcane blue glowing inscriptions on it. Also, its armor should be other than leather. It should be a runed steel armor.

You can't alpha the totem side bits. You just get team color.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Lesat, i didnt even work on the armor yet...

 

[communist_orc]

keeping the thread active... Not much new textur tho.

 

[FrIkY]

WIP: I changed the cloak as Pyritie suggested I should

 

[FamousPker49]

Seems a little much, I think you should do a thicker pattern, with less little details that will most likely blur out in game, but that is definitely good color choice and idea for the cape.

 

[FrIkY]

Ye, but ingame it's not so noticeable and not that much blurry, it's just like that in the Viewer

EDIT: New WIP, I made the staff

 

[FrIkY]

Ok, that's it! I started new skin, from Sorceress, that stoooped Jaina model sucks and so my wraps suck!! This time I really tryed and here's the WIP

Arcane Sorceress

 

[Linaze]

Sexy! By that I dont mean the texture but the sexy sorceres, not saying your skin was bad, much better than your previous.
