Texturing Competition #12 - Archimonde

[AirHead]

Archimonde file path?
Hrm...lemme check

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

COOOOOOOOOOOBRAAAAAAA

Haha, kinda random posts there. No but srsly, I might join this, start a skin, realize it sucks and quit... but I don't know what I would make...

 

[CombatTheWombat]

The rules give a shit.

Like he said, the wrap is the same on all the eredar models. It doesnt fucking matter if you use the archimonde skin or not, any of the eredar skins would work.

Yarly. lrn2lookatskinwraps, guys.

 

[ike_ike]

Each contestant must create a skin using the Archimonde model. Can be anything really.

Couldn't find an Archimonde model. Turns out the stupid thing is actually called Warlock. So theoretically, none of us have a legitimate entry.

And jeebus. I loathe this model. I thought there was unanimous consent last time we did a single model skinning comp to never, ever repeat such a thing.

Ah well. Churned out this 'lil green guy in about 30 minutes. It's kinda insanely hard trying to get a decent concept for it, seeing as 'tis such a retarded model. Come to think of it, tis a retarded skin I've done. New concept pl0x.

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh Dear God, this model is horrible!
EDIT: Fear my epic lack of eyes!

Inspiration drawn from Dracula from Castlevania: Judgment.

 

[LiOneSS]

I love how you did the eyebrows.

 

[Dionesiist]

I said FUCK YOU to shitty cocălar hair, so nao I habt purdy pink helmet and beard that-turns-into-gold-ornaments.
EDIT: Lio, it was a hell, I can guarantee. I can't even projection paint because my Max is lacking features. WTH? D:

 

[Linaze]

Dio, do you have a thing for vampires or something?

 

[LiOneSS]

How can you do projection painting

[Dionesiist]

3ds Max 5 and up.

 

[D a w n]

I prefered the version with hair Dio :>

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Vampires are really getting old.

 

[AirHead]

Dio, I'm not gunna lie, he looks like a mouse... other than that it's pretty awesome.

 

[Dionesiist]

Vampires are really getting old.

Being pale doesn't automatically make this a vampire. Maybe he's some void dude. His armour will be organic sort of, well more than usual armour.

 

[Traxamillion]

Dio you are a great modeler/skinner but all your monster stuff is just meh now, at least for me.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I'm gonna make a corruption monster from Prince of Persia. Seems like it would fit perfectly with any model.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so Dio, his tail is a moustache too?

 

[A.R.]

Doing battle with a difficult wrap is half the fun of texturing

Dio, looking good, nice use of the wrap. I'm keen to see where you're going with this.

updatezorz:

 

[Kwah]

I'm considering a knight.

 

[~Void~]

I might make him into a human warlock, or I might make an Eredar Necromancer... or maybe a Tiefling Rogue. Or maybe I won't make anything. Who knows? I sure don't...

 

[BigDates]

wait so.. do i post my final product here?

 

[THE_END]

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, keep it up everyone
AR, love that face in the tummy

 

[Dionesiist]

I think I'll be going back to the drawing board, my idea sucks and is getting out of control...

so Dio, his tail is a moustache too?

No, it only had little hair beneath the cape. That's why I had made it turn into the gold thing, because of the tail.
EDIT: He now has long hair and looks like a magneto wannabe.

 

[ike_ike]

Bananas are treacherous fiends, but aubergines are craven vegetables

Also, updated a tad. Completely revamped the fail armour. Yay!

 

[Dionesiist]

That looks like something from Zelda.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Looking good guys

nice glow


Edit: OMG it haz MasterHaosis smilie earrings

 

[Kwah]

All you guys and your fancy grid-face-thing toolz.

I've started trying something, but I'm just dead reckoning because I don't have the model at hand.

 

[ike_ike]

I used A.R's unwrap because it makes me feel like I own 3ds Max. Also, I was too lazy to make my own >_>

Woop woop! Nearly done ^^ A shoddy recolour on the collar thing just as a place holder, but the general idea is done.

He's a Darkangel, a bizzare offshoot of the Draenei race that is closer to an Eredar than a true Draenei. Embedded within his armour and body are numerous shards of curious glowing crystals that emanate mana. The Draenei templar Zeratul has tentatively called these crystals 'Khaydarin Crystals'. High Priest Aldaris of Exodar has since branded Zeratul a fruitcake (possibly pineapple or banana).

Personally, I quite like the Darkangel emblem (mine own creation, of course ) and the ear rings. 'though they'll probably be gone in the next iteration of this skin.

 

[Gilles]

That's some sexy skin ike.
My untrained eye sees nothing wrong.

I don't like the earrings though.

 

[Hawkwing]

The earrings are absolutely horrid, and the face's armour is a bit much. I don't really know how to explain it, but I just dislike the armour, especially on the cheeks.

 

[Traxamillion]

ike_ike, that is pure badassery. Great job.

 

[A.R.]

ike_ike, love the symbols, they're quite epic.

The problem with the texture is that there's too much contrast and not enough
coherence.

The metal parts look more like a random pattern than a coherent piece of armour.
Patterns aren't a bad thing at all, but you've used them to excess here and it takes
away from the 'flow' of the texture. The chestplate is fine, but the helmet, shoulders,
gauntlets and boots need to make more sense. At the moment they're just too wild and
random. See those swirls on the chestplate? I reckon it'd look great if you tried them on
the helmet (particularly the cheeks) as well.

The muscles have too much contrast, particularly the legs - they need to blend much
more smoothly. At the moment it looks like it's made out of tubes of clay bunched
together, you need to make that transition in lighting less severe.

Hope this helps

[]raenei does not concur with your judgement. Plus, it's a freaking annoying square. 0 alpha capabilities, rather irritating shape.

wai tank yoo mister traxamillion

ike_ike, blah blah ... blah blah ... Hope this helps

Thank God for A.R Yargh, I really need to stop doing designs on the spur of the moment. I somehow got carried away with the swirlies >_>

I'll finish the complete spiral armour thing later. Right now my mum is freaking pissed and keeps on taking my tablet

 

[Traxamillion]

I absoultely love the designs on the armor and the face-mask is epic, solid texture all-around.

+rep

 

[Kwah]

I'm working.

I'm not using an un-wrap though, so it could get . . . . interesting. I've re-drawn the cloak and legs.

EDIT: Ike, now the contrast is too . . . weird.

His chest looks stupid, and the same for the Loin cloth to legs.

 

[ike_ike]

The chest and loincloth are the bits I DIDN'T change >_>

 

[THE_END]

And ike..you still need to add some highlights to that skin

 

[Dionesiist]

I really am having a rough time trying to do something original with this model.

 

[markone]

i was very bored today, so i took my spooky skin to work on... here is some wip. damn that place around belt warps so shity

 

[ike_ike]

B-b-b-but...END!

I just REMOVED those highlights

I'll stick 'em back in... blarrrgh

 

[FrIkY]

i was very bored today, so i took my spooky skin to work on... here is some wip. damn that place around belt warps so shity

Face looks, really... really weird... and lol

 

[markone]

that was my idea

 

[XS-Archangel]

for now it looks like he has a big stomach
I think that that Dio will win (third time in a row), I like conversion into beard and he looks like some ancient chinesse philosopher Sometimes I don't like Dio's colors on the skins, they look too pale or too dark with rimed by black color.
Second place (or maybe the first) is ike ike, colors are similar but also they make a good contrast. And i like the eyes

And I repeat... the best Archimonde's skin is unfinished TDR's Angel

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I have been horrendously sick so I don't know if I will get around to making something for this after all. I barely managed to get out of bed and post this. I like all the textures so far. Markone's is really weird though. Kinda reminds me of a Djinn from Titan Quest. And I am not sure I totally like the color scheme you have going Dio. I think the colors are too bright and look a little cartoonish to be a vampire.

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh, so now you're unto me why I'm NOT making him a vampire...

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Whether you call it a vampire or not doesn't change the fact that it looks deceivingly close to your other work that you've called 'vampires.'

 

[Dionesiist]

I'll probably drop the texture anyway, it's horribly un-interesting. The only thing I'm probably proud of is the beard and brows.

 

[GooS]

Ehm, well decided I'd give this a try with my new creation

Termimonde

WIP



Gonna fix what hangs between his legs and add some more colors
