this sound fun count me in!

 

[madcat2]

I'll join in. Mostly because I just started classes again and I need something to distract my mind so I don't over think my work.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I am in it to win it. I finally found where my art tablet pen is yesterday and I get it back tomorrow so I can get started.

 

[madcat2]

I got bored heres wip its not much yet, but slowly working on a daemon prince.

 

[~Void~]

FUCK YES!!! God damn, I've wanted to make something with this model for so long!!

 

[Just_Spectating]

wheres the archimonde file path? cant seem to find it

 

[THE_END]

Archimonde file path?
Hrm...lemme check

Up my arse and around the corner, har har
No it's units\Demon\Warlock\Archemonde

 

[A.R.]

Made a start on mine xD

 

[THE_END]

COOOOOOOOOOOBRAAAAAAA
Ahah I love it AR

 

[A.R.]

Update, added more bits, refined the face a little.

Oh right, it's meant to be a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid by the by.

 

[Traxamillion]

Lookin Badass AR..

Goodluck to all the contestants.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Heres my W.I.P.


Treant Lord

 

[INF3RNO]

Update, added more bits, refined the face a little.

Oh right, it's meant to be a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid by the by.

and you guys said hybrid's would of been a crappy theme look at the potential the theme could of had!

ps: awsum skin AR i recently got a new computer so im loading wc3 up as we speak hoping ill enter maybe.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Update, added more bits, refined the face a little.

Oh right, it's meant to be a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid by the by.

But are you all pro skinners using screenshot of max uvw to skin on?

 

[A.R.]

Vertex Modifier UVW screenshots work just as well
It's just saving time doing battle with the wc3 texture is all.

EDIT: Here's the wrap for anyone who's interested.

 

[Dionesiist]

AR, there's a thing that's bugging me about your Protoss/Zerg hybrid. Right now it's kind of patchy. What I mean is that it's a protoss, with zerg pieces on shoulders etc. You could try and blend them more, like make some areas where the transition is smooth.
I really can't think of anything original to do with Archimonde though, I'll keep brainstorming.

 

[Kimbo]

Update, added more bits, refined the face a little.

Oh right, it's meant to be a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid by the by.

Looks more like its some sort of armour than a hybrid.

 

[Dionesiist]

Looks more like its some sort of armour than a hybrid.

What I meant.

 

[THE_END]

Wow AR, did NOT see that coming at all
And Just, I like the Treant idea, you have millions of options of what to do with that skin

 

[markone]

i decided to make something spooky, i hope that i will have time to finish it (cause i usually dont)

here is scratch of head

 

[Just_Spectating]

the hard part is that his lil "Beard thingies" use the same texture as his tail

 

[Hawkwing]

Heres my W.I.P.

I can't really tell from that shot, but I think the face needs more contrast.

Update, added more bits, refined the face a little.

Oh right, it's meant to be a Protoss/Zerg Hybrid by the by.

To be honest, I don't like it very much. The colours seem too opposite for my liking. It's like mixing water elementals and fire elementals. Two totally opposite things that would look completely retarded together. Don't get me wrong, it's executed exceptionally, but the red could use some toning down - I think desaturating it a bit should do the job.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Updated

 

[Traxamillion]

looks alot better less buggish

 

[Hawkwing]

Oooh. Excellent. I'm not crazy about the light green parts on those thingies extruding out of the top of his head.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeh, im trying to do something with them

 

[Xatoga]

Ah crap... AR. I was drawing up a concept for an infested Protoss templar today as an idea for this contest. LOL. Well, maybe I'll still try the competition, with a dif idea.

Hm... it looks like a CnP from "Ancient Protector" to me... sorry, tell me if I am wrong

 

[FamousPker49]

Of all the people to point the finger. LOL. Either way, it doesn't look like CnP to me, the quality seems pretty even and the colors seem different from the Ancient Protector.

 

[~Void~]

It looks more like a recreation than just copied.

 

[markone]

CnP is the most famous attack weapon here. i think that someone should make cnp icon and updates for that weapon theme - phonix trial contest

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, it's hard to be sure about too.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i can post the unwrap for you guys and you can compare if its CnP or not.

really thats a compliment for me cause LoL, i was looking at the protector while making this.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Damnit, looks like I MIGHT need a new idea. I was gonna make some sort of lizard man but that might looks a little similar to AR's guy.

 

[Thorneon]

I would love to join but I dont have wc3 viewer (mac X( ) so I cant get the .blp file If someone can post it ill try to do it, but I dont want to be submitted unless I think I have a chance.

 

[A.R.]

Combat: Just go for it, man. They're entirely different concepts.

Thorneon: Here's the .blp, and a .tga version as well. Good luck!

 

[Thorneon]

Thanks!

 

[Just_Spectating]

hope to see some cool skin from you and everyone else too.

 

[Kwah]

Oh. Yeah.

I'm so in for this one.

 

[LiOneSS]

I'm doing a saturday night fever archimonde.
Edit: NOT. ANARCHYmonde is much better

 

[FrIkY]

Saturday night fever archimonde?!
...I can't wait to see it finished...

 

[Kwah]

Edit: NOT. ANARCHYmonde is much better

Errrr. lrn2read?

 

[CombatTheWombat]

That face is kind of giving me the creeps lioness. I might have nightmares now.

 

[Traxamillion]

Dont you have to us the exact Archimonde model?

 

[Just_Spectating]

hey, hes right, LiO isnt using Archimonde

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Who gives a shit.

 

[Gilles]

The rules give a shit.

 

[shamanyouranus]

I don't see why it matters right now, the skin wraps the same on all the eredar models. Just so long as it fits at the end, I'm sure its fine. Jeez.

 

[Dionesiist]

Still. Trying. To. Think. Of. Something!
