Texturing Competition #3 - Demonic Units

[Denu]

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?

I am hoping to enter this one. I will be out of school on the 14th and hopefully that will give me enough time to whip up a skin. Should be enough time but I might just be so wiped out that I just sleep for a couple days

And I am planning on skinning a satyr but I am still considering different possibilities. Satyr is just most appealing at the moment.

 

[SuPa-]

yay denu!
Well... I might as well give up on the hope of winning the texturing competition ;-)
You get out on the 14th? I get out Wednesday (the 6th). Your summer vacation must've ended later than ours, and start later, I guess.

Lol, a satyr, you did a sketch of one. Are satyrs your favorite unit?

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Last day for me is on the 8th I believe, and good riddance I can't wait. Denu are you a good skinner? I am going to research you (lol) please wait.

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah, I'd say he's a good skinner (a good artist too)
As for school, I EXTREMELY agree with being happy about having summer vacation. Once it's over, I'm not even gonna burn my stuff (waste of a good match)

 

[Denu]

Well I am going to be very relieved once summer finally rolls around. Tough year its been.

And I dont have any particular interest in satyrs but I like its potential versatility when making my skin.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol why burn it? I practice my shooting on them. Just put a big target on them and set em up.

 

[SuPa-]

because burning things is fun. I'm simply going to throw my stuff away, or set it above some fireworks on the 4th of July... hehe

 

[THE_END]

Yea I'm setting MADD books on fire
As well as parts of my uniform

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol uniforms. Our school tried to get us into uniforms for about a week, and they will never EVER try it again =) Whats MADD? Math books maybe? Well.... since we need to get back on topic.... the face is about 75% done. All I need to do now is his forehead and then another WIP.

 

[Arab4life]

Damn you all.... my school ends 15th, But then i have Exams from the 18th to the 22nd. So my summer starts 22nd.

I hate you all....

Oh, and im also leaving on vacation on the 22nd, so i might not be here for the final poll. But im still entering a final submission before then.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Back on topic of the contest you guys, you can make an off topic thread to discuss this stuff.

 

[Denu]

Just doodling... a little amorphous at this point. Didnt pay attention to wrap. Will worry about that later. I have a vague image in my head of what I want and I just cant forcefully wrench it outa my stupid brain. I like where this is going though. I like the colors I got going.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Now that's a quality texture.

 

[Odin]

indeed!

 

[SuPa-]

Looking great so far, Denu! (we're all doomed... except him)

 

[Arab4life]

And the winner of the texturing competition through a 1.3 million votes is... DENU!
......


Were all done for...

 

[Chaos Overlord]

No! I will fight!!....er skin! Got the face done yesterday... only took um... 3 days, and it looks pretty bad. It was he11 for someone who can't skin very well. Maybe I will put a pic so you guys can guve advice.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

It would be nice if we actually had a pic.

 

[Dionesiist]

Denu, tint that chest blue and you'll get a Protoss

 

[RedBlade]

Jeez ! GREAT Denu ! You will win it seems.

It is HORRIBLE !!! (well. IT A DEMON !!!... my humor is bad eh .?)

 

[iristle]

Argh, must... get... away from WoW... -.-
Dang, I'm like a ameteur compared to Denu.
Update! Decided to give 'Im armor and call him the 'Eredar Battlemaster'

 

[THE_END]

Mehh armor needs shading
Make some skulls and other Eredar-ish armor things on it
Look at the other Eredar skins ingame

 

[Odin]

banner cnp?

eradars have a little bit darker armor haven't they?

 

[iristle]

Couldn't help it...

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

I'll hopefully be entering, possibly using the gargoyle as my base skin. I'll have to see how things work out though, as I'll be gone for just about the next two weeks...

@Denu: Wow, great job. Definitely my favorite so far. +REP

@Everyone else: Keep up the good work. This should turn out to be quite an interesting competition...


EDIT: Just something funny I found while searching for a skin to edit. Apparently, centaurs have nipples on their fronts and their backs...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Yes, they are a very weird race.

 

[Arab4life]

I think its just because of the texture wrap, blizzard was too lazy to make a back texture and thought no one would notice.

Of course im just guessing.

 

[THE_END]

Blizzard does that on alot of models
Demon Hunter, Blood Mage, Warden, Centaur, too many to name..

 

[Denu]

Mapped out the face a little. I have deviated from my original plan and have arived at a different yet awsome new concept. I am going to give him white hair and perhaps some low saturated redish semi purple color armor that would have designs of skulls and demonlike stuff. I like how I managed his face. Need to solve some more wrapping issues but its looking cool... 10 or so days til schools out... me wants ta skin damnit!!!

 

[SuPa-]

really like the face, Denu

 

[THE_END]

Face reminds me all too much of a Eredar somewhat
The unwrap looks uncannily Eredar

 

[Denu]

Funny. I thought it looked more like a dreadlord :/

 

[Odin]

it looks relly dreadolrd-like to me

have you ever skinned the satyr brfore?

 

[Denu]

No. Dunno why I never did. I really like the satyr model.

 

[THE_END]

Update

Added some more shading
Redid his leg guards
Feedback?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Well, the wrap looks like hell to work with.

Other than that, nice.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

The tentacles are impressive. They look really cool, especially since they were textured from one flat surface. They look like they are actually round.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Everything but the face still look way too blurry to me. The past few updates have had hardly any noticeable difference.

EDIT: Can you show the unwrap, END?

 

[Denu]

I think he said a while back he doesnt like posting unwraps. Might be thinking of someone else though.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I'm not going to steal it =.=

 

[Denu]

No unwraps sir
That's not how I roll
An unwrap means nothing if its not applied to a model
A beautiful skin may look good, but looks like shit on the file
And yes suggestions of what to do exactly help
I would like to know A. why the chest needs work and B. the legs as well

Posted by End over here: http://hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33899

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Well to be honest, the face looks CnPed from the Eredar Warlock texture.



But the unwrap would show if it isn't.

 

[THE_END]

Ok well I didn't
So I will post the wrap
Chriz. you crafty lil bugger


Now I will say one thing
I DID CNP the skull that is on his leg armor
The face I did by looking at the skin and duplicating
Call me a liar, I do not care, but that IS how I did it

 

[Denu]

I think you should add more higlights to the armor and also that its a little too yellow. Try to get a little orange in there.

 

[JarrardKO]

Ya. Another beastmaster..

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Okay END, then nice duplication, they fit well together.

I would suggest making the part directly under his face a beard similar to the in game Eredar, and lessen the tentacles as I said earlier, they make him look like an octopus-head now.

Get that contrast and detail in the rest of the skin, the clothes are plain yellow with some shading, same with the flap, no color variation or texture.

 

[THE_END]

Hmm rid of the tentacles?!
Ehhh true, he does look Davy Jones-esque with all the tentacles
And the thing with the clothes, is that you barely see them, the chest wrap uses that small area of red on the front. And the back is covered by the bear head and spines on the bear

 

[SuPa-]

Color it an aqua color and it'll be Davy Jones!
nice skin so far, THE_END

 

[THE_END]

Added the beard
Maybe I will do a Davy Jones variant of this when I'm done

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Looking better, just make his chin go a bit further down so his head doesn't seem squished.
