Finally, eh?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I wish I had seen this before you posted it. 10 points for in-game is in no way enough.
Anyways, we'll see what the entrants bring to the party, as the theme is at least interesting this time around.

Feel free to make suggestions, but not here.

What are you talking about? ;P

The post was rushed, I wanted to get it done tonight and I wasn't getting any replies in the Mod's Lobby.

 

[ike_ike]

Waaaaaait. Does first place get 40 points for both skins? Because doing two skins and only getting the regular amount of rep is a bit meh.



Ah well. I'll probably scrape in at seventh again anyway.

 

[A.R.]

^I don't skin for rep, even joining contests is just for fun and challenge. So I don't see
that as being an issue

Gotta think of something to do now *checks .mpq*

 

[ike_ike]

Now I feel like a selfish peasant. Which isn't actually that far from the truth ^^

Methinks I'll do the Sapper/Mortar Team combo.

 

[Denu]

So high res is allowed? I thought that high res was no longer allowed in texturing contests here.

 

[A.R.]

Going high res would be kinda shooting yourself in the foot for the In-Game criteria IMHO...
Anyways, don't listen to me, I'm just jaded when it comes to high res.

EDIT: WIPs - I'm gonna do Azshara before and after Naga-ification

 

[Dionesiist]

I had a fun idea. The still-not-harmed version of my Sorceress (evil) and a D2-type necromancer (good.). Probably not worth it anymore since A.R stole the assassin model

 

[KKRP]

Good luck to everyone!

 

[FrIkY]

I shall join too and for this time... no CnP, I promises!!

So, the idea I had is to make "Fire & Ice Brothers"... 1 skin will be for EredarWarlock (Fire - Moltor) and another one for EredarWarlockPurple (Ice - Glaseroz) so don't steal my idea!! >

EDIT: KKRP... double post?

 

[KKRP]

KKRP... double post?

What?

 

[FrIkY]

You posted, something like:''I think I will join too'' or something like it... but you've probably deleted it in the time when I posted... bah, nvm...

 

[Linaze]

It's amazing how you can make it look awesome after so little work, A.R.. Looking good.

 

[Dionesiist]

First WIP from me. It'll be a big-ass dude with hooves and wings with a Golden Cow Mask. This is the good guy.

They both look fantastic!

 

[Dionesiist]

Moar.

 

[Mechmap]

Statment: The holy cow is here. Bow before him!

 

[A.R.]

Pharaoh Cow!
That's badass Dio.

Anywho, moar!

 

[Hawkwing]

I'm speechless. Oh wait, that's just an expression. I think you need to increase the shading around the eye a bit. Otherwise it's amazing. I love the body.

 

[Dionesiist]

Ha, and people were complaining how my Sorceress held her metal bikini on.

 

[Hawkwing]

The invisible belt of frodo?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

She looks fat, AR, work out the shading of her stomach a bit. The way you have it now, it appears to be that her gut is protruding outward. Also, watch the monochromatic effect you've got now, it's going to probably get out of hand if I know you at all.

Dio, looks neat. I like the effect you chose for the metal parts. Good color choices too, I trust the blue parts on the shoulder are TC?

 

[HyperActive]

The Doom Guard does deserve another chance to ge good, nice start. Very unique.

Azshara could use some more details that would make her stand out from other night elves, though you haven's finished the cape, so you can do something there. Good idea about the toga, but I'm interested to see what you heve instored for the naga version.

 

[Devine]

Because I discovered that I don't suck ass at skinning ... i might as well give it a try. However... i'm going to sleep now.

 

[A.R.]

Azshara went to the gym

@DevineArmy: that's great to hear! looking forward to your work

*performs Snoopy's Vulture Impression at Dusk until he makes a skin*

 

[THE_END]

That's..I don't know what to say AR
I actually am speechless...and that's why I'm typing
BEAUTIFUL work on that, and Dio, looking awesome as well
Hm..I'm not hosting
...hehehe

 

[Hawkwing]

Azshara went to the gym

@DevineArmy: that's great to hear! looking forward to your work

*performs Snoopy's Vulture Impression at Dusk until he makes a skin*

Woah. Big change on the stomach. She looks a bit less "soft" now. But it's still quite fine.

Hm..I'm not hosting
...hehehe

Do you want to?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

*performs Snoopy's Vulture Impression at Dusk until he makes a skin*

Sorry, if I ever find the time to do one, you know where it'll be.
Azshara looks better now, by the by.

 

[A.R.]

Final update for today (have Uni work to do)
Started on her Naga form.

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't know if I'd exactly call that "Opposite", but it sure looks good. But I don't like how her ribcage touches in the middle, if I'm not mistaken it should curve up a bit more.

Also, her brests seem a bit shiny, and the top of her forehead, right under her hair, could use strong shading. (Though I haven't looked at the model so I could be wrong about how the light should hit it.)

 

[THE_END]

No I'm entering silly Hawk

 

[Hawkwing]

I was going to enter. So I tried to get DvO to host, but in the end I didn't really have any time.

 

[markone]

hey im in for sure i like idea really much!

atm im thinking abt Frost and Fire guy based on Satyr, but i may change if i get better idea soon

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Im in.....any way deadline could be extended a bit. We are supposed to whip out two skins in the time we normally get for one. Gonna be tough. Especially for people like me who take about a week just to think up a decent idea.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i don't really understand the theme.. we have to chose 2 Diffrent model that will represent the Ying and the Yang of a unit? is that it?

 

[SuPa-]

You make a texture of whatever you want, then make an opposite of it. So if you made something undead and evil, you'd then make something holy. If you made a fire elemental, you'd then make a water elemenal.

That's my interpretation anyway

You are correct.

 

[SuPa-]

Awesome.

 

[INF3RNO]

im gonna join, im planning on doing something like Robotic vs Organic thingy =p

 

[LiOneSS]

Anemic, that night elf is just pwn. Too bad the model itself is pretty ugly, so the face is pretty fail. That's just how the night elf queen should be And for the naga... hmm :/ she is more like an octopus from what I know


@Dio: I love how you did those shiny parts

 

[INF3RNO]

wip of my mechanical one not gonna pst a unwrap just yet so dont ask please

 

[Hawkwing]

So far it looks great, but it's hard to make that kind of decision so quickly.

 

[Mechmap]

Statement: That's probably going to be one of the best robotic skins if it's pulled of right. Did you get inspiration from the Necrons in Warhammer 40K? It looks kinda like them in colour.

 

[INF3RNO]

idk kinda voidreaver from wow... some what.

 

[Grog50]

My Necron senses are tingling as well lol. Good start Inf3rno

 

[A.R.]

Rawr, NE Azshara almost done.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

wow this model looks SOOooo cool... to make... cause you can design what ever you want with it... its not like those stupid mirror textures.. good job A.R
