Texturing Competition #3 - Demonic Units

[Jaakko]

That armor and body are looking really good. You are going to do something about those black legs, horns and white hair and that weapon? How about change the team colour place to the shoulder pads or body or something?

 

[THE_END]

Jesus Denu
About time! I was waiting to see what you were doing with this skin!
Looks great man
Just amazing quality there

 

[Arab4life]

I think the unwrap looks great, but when its on the model itsself doesnt look as good as i thought it would..

Its hard to put armor on a satyr, because giving him any clothing really makes him look like he's wearing tights. The one on the hand works nicely though.

Try making the thighs armored, keep those armored, but make the skinny parts of his leg bare. It will look better.

 

[camel's_hump]

Denu, a word of advice to you because I have seen you in a lot of skinning contests. Sometimes you just have to go with what you've got, even if you don't like it that much in order to finish a skin before the deadline. I have seen you in a lot of skinning contests, but I have not seen you finish many skins for these contests

About this skin, the body is good, but the armor is very monotone.

 

[Denu]

The reason I hadnt completed those contests because I couldnt really. I find it extremely difficult balancing my health and school. Both negatively affect the other in an annoyingly endless cycle. But schools out. I can finally focus on art :/ But when school comes around again it will likely be similar. Although this has been an extremely difficult year even for my normally difficult school years.

 

[camel's_hump]

I was just saying, go with what you have in the skin.

The arms and chest look great, you did really well with the colors. Now just add some color into the legs and hands, and this will be a really good skin.

 

[Denu]

I had thought of putting in a lighter color of the armor. I even tried but I didnt like the result. Mostly because I didnt get the colors as I wanted them. I decided to do the rest of the skin and then revisit the armor.

 

[THE_END]

Yea the armor colors are somewhat..dull
Hmm..orange/reddish skin...
I would suggest maybe an obsidian armor?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Maybe give some reflection colors on the armor.
And the face needs proper blending, but you'll probably gonna do that.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Ok I have just decided to drop the Mal'Furion skin and now I am doing one for the Bandits. Pictures pending as I have not gotten very far, just a rough thing on his chest. All I can say is expect chainmail.

 

[erwtenpeller]

THE_END has the upper hand. Denu's texture might be more defined, but hes skinning a demon into a demon... How dull. end is skinning a druid into a fucking eredar, my props to you sir. Hadnt thought of that one yet.

 

[DwarfZealot]

Offtopic: erwtenpeller i havent seen you post in like a year, hows it goin

i agree skinning a daemon into a daemon isnt that exciting although it is a really nice skin

 

[camel's_hump]

Well I haven't skinned in a very long time, but here it goes. Wip on the demoness. Yes I skinned Jaina for the last contest, but she is the only blizz model I could find

 

[Denu]

I had a couple ideas going into the contest. None of the models that I looked at suited my purposes. Only one idea seemed plausible and only one unit met the parameters... somewhat. It isnt exactly as I had planned but it suits my purposes. I dont really care all that much what it was originally. Besides I havent seen many good satyr skins out there.

 

[THE_END]

Oh no-skis
The humper is in the contest

 

[erwtenpeller]

Yeah but he picked the wonkyest model blizzard ever did. Jaina is worse then the marine.

 

[SuPa-]

More like he had no choice lol, but oh well

 

[camel's_hump]

So?

 

[Arab4life]

Im just waiting to see if Chaos and Camal actually finish in time...

Chaos is just starting his like what, 5th skin for the competition?

Lol.

 

[THE_END]

I do declare
I think my Eredar is done
Now to finish the FelBeast he turns into

 

[Chaos Overlord]

No I am on my second. I am extremely slow because I can't even get my chest to look good, and I have no clue what I should do after it. I don't know if I will finish. I a, laking the GIMP skills to even compete =(

Looks nice camel

 

[THE_END]

Oh and camel on a side note
PLEASE MAKE HER A FEMALE EREDAR!

 

[camel's_hump]

Find me a good picture of a female one, and maybe I will. I won't have to add any weird things to what I have done already, will I?

 

[THE_END]

A Female Eredar is impossible to find
Not even the great Google Image Search could find one

 

[erwtenpeller]

Google female Draenei and you'll get all the female eredar you can handle.

You just have to paint em red and change the gear.

 

[Horn]

Nice skin denu, but you need to throw in some major contrast. maybe make the skulls a sickly demonic green?

 

[THE_END]

Mehh
Erwt I just looking for demonic Eredar

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Erwt, was there honestly any need for the flaming? Good skins so far guys, 2 days left, right? Good luck!

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Okay, well I'm back finally. In response to THE_END's comment that my skin looked to Naga-ish, I had it red at first, but upon seeing that Denu was going with the same color palette, I decided to change it. It was originally supposed to be dragon-like on the bottom half, but I suppose the blue did make it more like a naga. Anyway, here's a minor update. Still tons of work to do, so it's off to work I go....

Oh, and BTW, the skins are looking good, guys. I am really excited to see how everything turns out...

 

[Xatoga]

Erwt, was there honestly any need for the flaming? Good skins so far guys, 2 days left, right? Good luck!

When did he flame? He just gave a pic of the eredar.

 

[SuPa-]

Xatoga, he edited out the flaming part

 

[THE_END]

Ohh erwt is a crafty one
And Dalaran, theres no problem with making a Naga-esque skin
As long as it looks right
And technically Naga can be considered Demons
They are corrupted Night Elves twisted by the implosion of the First Well of Eternity and now want to destroy all races, atleast Azshara's Naga want to

 

[Odin]

Dalaran, can you post a pic of it wrapped?

Submission

some crappy shots

Any suggestions?i can still modify it.

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Yeppers. Here it is; I'm afraid that you'll just have to ignore the shaft protruding from its crotch, because I don't know how to change that in the warcraft3viewer. I still have a ton of work, but I think I should have an okay shot at finishing on time. Oh, and just for you, THE_END, I switched it back to its original coloring.

 

[Denu]

Pretty sweet. Just a bit skinny as far as pitlords go

I am not sure green would go good with the colors I allready have. But I have thought of making the skulls a different color.

 

[THE_END]

Yea also make the shading around the eyes less..black
It seems like green eyes and then just black surrounding it
Add some dark purples

 

[Denu]

Well it may not look like much but I got the face fully mapped out and have started shading in the colors. I have marked key parts lightly in the alpha channle so as to make shading easier. His ear twitches unfortunately but I dont think you will be able to notice much. I could really use some ideas on the eyes. I am going to work all day tomorrow and a fair bit more tonight.

Unfortunately I have underestimated the time but I can get the skin done by the required time I do believe. The face wrap really threw me off cause well... its a bitch like most blizz wraps. But the end result should be well worth the effort. The face is always a major part of the skin. I am not certain if I can get to adding in another color to the armor. I do think I will be able to make adjustments to it though; like getting it to wrap better and put some hightlights in.

Oh and also could I get some advice on his neck? It is all weird. It makes him look like he has a giant fat neck but if I try and make it smaller it ends up looking a bit weird. Maybe I should just let it be :/

 

[THE_END]

Looks good Den
Now what color you making that hair?
I think it would look great as a dark red

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Okay, so I need some input. I am liking it better and better, but I still feel that it is missing something or that it just needs some more detail...

Comments?

 

[THE_END]

Well
I'm assuming you making it Naga-esque
Which I love <3 (no homo )
Look at the in-game Naga skins
Use them for inspiration
You got less than a day to finalize

Well, I know you love Naga-esque stuff, but as I already stated, it was based more upon the idea of a dragon. Thanks for the input though. I may take your advice and adapt it to be more naga-like so I can get some ideas from existing skins...

 

[Denu]

So when does the contest end officially? At the end of the 22nd?

Here is what I got so far.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

There is no way his legs are hand made... If they are then I'll do something...

 

[SuPa-]

love the face! Looking really good, denu

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

There is no way his legs are hand made... If they are then I'll do something...

You obviously have very little knowledge of Denu's artistic prowess. He is one of the most accomplished and skilled artists in this community...

Start "doing something"

 

[THE_END]

Yea can we just have it end like...tonight?
I was having fun being a drunken bastard last night and it would make my day if tonight was the deadline

Edit: Due to this not being closed yet..I assume that this is still OK to enter today

Here he is
The Eredar Annihilator
..his transformation will come later, I don't wanna push it

Path is:units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\Druidoftheclaw.blp

The Eredar Annihilator's are sent by Kil'Jaeden to carry out the most important tasks
Their fierce claws can rip through the most powerful armors and magic shields
Their most terrifying ability is to turn into Demon Dogs, fierce hounds that rip through anything in their path.
These Annihilators usually are bodyguards to the Nathrezim Undertakers
These strike forces of Undertakers and Annihilators are nothing to underestimate

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Path is: Textures\gnoll.blp

 

[Denu]

Ok its done although the armor still could wrap better...

Path: Textures\Satyr.blp

 

[Deleted member 126647]

[Denu]
