Texturing Competition #3 - Demonic Units

[THE_END]

The only thing you really changed on this skin was the skin color
You modded the armor with filters and added a badly shaded third eye
Do more freehand

 

[SuPa-]

It looks more like 40% recolor and 60% done by you. Still looks nice, though

 

[RedBlade]

Arab, your skin is veeery good. (better with armor than without).

Here are my skins. I dunno wich seems better to add. Can I ask advice for which seems better (although there is only a slight difference between them)?

 

[THE_END]

Another WIP
More WIP of the Eredar, now the start on the Felbeast

The warps on his arm is just CnP of normal wraps, dose that matter or is it allowed?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Your Eredar seems way too under detailed, just some yellow shading and purple shading on his clothing. The face is great, but the rest just doesn't seem to be up-to-par.

I like the way the felbeast is coming along though.

 

[THE_END]

Didn't mean to say finalized
More WIP-age of the Eredar
I still have ALOTTA work on the Eredar and the Felbeast

 

[Odin]

give him hooves

 

[Deleted member 126647]

He has hooves.

 

[Odin]

they look more like feet whith tree claws or someting...

 

[THE_END]

..Tree claws?
Ok well they ARE hooves, look at either A. the Dreadlord, B. the Felhound, C. Any Eredar skin ingame

 

[Odin]

hmm... eradars have cloven hooves, but i dont want to argue, so do as you like

also i think some of the gold rings in the beard-thing should hava a black pearl or something

 

[THE_END]

Yes I know I'm still not done with the skin
There will be additions to his gold rings and armor and everything
Just a WIP shot

 

[Arab4life]

Speaking of hooves and feet, what should i do with the feet of my skin. I was thinking of giving it a kind of decayed, cracked skin texture at the base.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Another WIP. It looks terrible still, any suggestions?

And I got another good idea I might switch too.

 

[Arab4life]

The club looks bad, it looks like you just painted over it.

I think you should do more shading, and take your time. Make actual features, muscles, stomach flaps. Use a darker color of the normal skin color to make the texture.

 

[Odin]

i suggest you make hooves similar to those on my satyr


as for my skin, i'm trying to make the kobold into some sort of imp/demon worker



the wrap on the portrait is terrible! i'll try to make something good for as i cant think of a new concept

 

[infrenus]

the portrait is horrible,but make more the model and he looks veeery good

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

The club is suppose to look like its coverd in blood.

Much easyer said then done, and im afraid its much to hard for me to do it seems.....I just dont have the skillz I gusse.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The club is suppose to look like its coverd in blood.

But it doesn't. now it looks like a big mass of pink. First make the weapon, THEN add the blood. But not too much blood.

 

[RedBlade]

The club has actually no color.. i mean it has color, but is all mixed up and you cant say its blood or paint. You must make it more clear by adding more dark color to the club.

IS MY SKIN INVISIBLE ? (about the bandages ... HeretoDlStuff ... its not CnP... i just made all his arm black, then added whitey-grey color where the bandadge ends and then if filled with 3 colors gradually the internam MYSELF. Though it looks like CnP now ...)
IS MY SKIN INVISIBLE ?

 

[Arab4life]

What do you mean is my skin invisible?

And i think what he meant about the bandages is that you made some, but for the rest you just copied the old ones on.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Alright I am actuqally working! I am about... 7% done so far, and that is with the first part of completely coloring him. Then I have to shade, although I am trying to shade as I go. I know I promised pics soon, but I have none. Does anyone have an idea for a cool demon looking emblem I can use on his cape? I want to maybe put an emblem on it, I am not sure...

 

[THE_END]

Hmm a kobold into an imp
Should be interesting
Post more WIPS people!

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Ok since END can't wait for another day until it is actaully starting to look like what I plan, I have a WIP of the part I am done with: His beard. lol there I put one down, even if it isn't that good, I actually think it came out pretty good. It is supposed to be lava or magma or something like that...

[THE_END]

Hmm looks good
Now its gonna be coming outta his mouth correct?

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Go into his mouth? That is an interesting idea and I may use it. I was just imagining that it would kinda go into his face and cut off kinda... not just a cut off but the darker spots would turn into skin and the lava would kinda fade into darker and become skin too. Idk what do you think. Oh and you said it looks good but was it really ok?

 

[RedBlade]

Why when i put the skin onto my hero, the parts that should normally be invisible are totally visible. And i didnt touch em. What's the problem ?

How do i make it invisible ? I dont have photoshop. I used MS paint to make my skin.

 

[Odin]

then you cant make anything invisible

 

[THE_END]

Eredar Annihilator done for the most part
And more work on the FelBeast

 

[the unreal one]

omg thats just cool.

APPROVED: OFFICIAL HIVE WORKSHOP SPAM! PLEASE EDIT!

 

[Chaos Overlord]

I was going to post and ask how it was looking but it seems you have beet me to it. Well, it looks like a demon alright, and it looks really good too!

There is only one explination, you have edited your skin as a JPG my friend. Thats a bad choice. JPG does NOT support invisble or "Alpha" Channels.

You need to edit your skin as a TGA file. And converting from JPG to TGA wont work, (Unless you want to re-do all the alpha)

My suggestion is, re-extract another file, convert the BLP to a TGA this time. And use a program, open both up in seperate layers, then CNP your skin onto the TGA skin.

To do that you will need to open your skins with a program like Photoshop or PaintShop Pro

While it seems that this is the problem, this is not the only one that could occur. And since when can MS paint alpha?

Another problem you might experience, is that the model filter is not to "none". So even if you try alpha it out, it can't be alphaed so the old parts will stay (its an alpha trick). Since some parts of models aren't set to be alphable (in other words, to the "none" filter setting), you can't alpha them.

You COULD do a model edit, but thats not permitted in this contest. So yeah, you have to deal with it.
BTW, google GIMP if you need a free image editing prgram, MS Paint can't skin for crap.


THE_END: oooh... those are some nasty wraps. The bear looks good though.

 

[Arab4life]

I actually never said MS paint can alpha. Lol, quote Red blade for that, not me.

You dont need to mention model edits since it is not permitted.

 

[SuPa-]

Alpha skinning isn't a model edit, just so you know.
Also, GIMP is a good, free image editing program

 

[Arab4life]

i didnt say it was a model edit......

Why do people always mis-understand what i say?

He mentioned model editing, then said you shouldnt do it because its not permitted.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

It really doesn;t sound like that many people are int this one. Only SuPa-. END, me and a few others. Arab are you in?

 

[SuPa-]

Sorry for the misunderstanding, Arab4Life
From what I read, It sounded like it, though
Also, sorry if I sounded harsh or something, didn't mean to

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Alright just a small update. I worked on the face and it is hard and frusturating but I am making round (I got the mouth done in about twenty minutes). Don't expect another WIP from me until I get the face done... so you will have to wait a long time.

 

[RedBlade]

Thnx for the advice guyz (actually only Arab4life)

 

[iristle]

A bit of a lazy butt this half term, oh well, I'll start skinning for this comp now.
WIP.

 

[THE_END]

Hmmm Eredar Blademaster..interesting

APPROVED: OFFICIAL HIVE WORKSHOP SPAM! PLEASE EDIT!

 

[iristle]

The face is kinda different from eredar, some relatives/descendants/cousins of Eredar?

 

[Odin]

maybe a fel orc that has mutated into a demon?

looks good, your one too THE_END keep it up

 

[iristle]

Oook...
I think im gonna dump the old face and redo some of it, i decided to make it an eredar after all.
EDIT:Redone. W00t!

 

[THE_END]

Ahh very good choice
Now make some more face tendrils!

 

[iristle]

Why more? Eredar always appear to have only two.

 

[THE_END]

Nahh I gave mine a bunch
And you might wanna work more on the face, the eyes are not really matching the other Eredar skins in WC3 & TFT

 

[Arab4life]

Uh, chaos, i kinda entered this like, 2 weeks ago when it started. And i posted like 5 Pictures of my skin. WHich is pretty much done except for more armor plates, View older pages. The bottom of page 7 has my latest update.

Im still working on something on the skin, but i've been switching between that and a new map.

And now iristile is in
