I R IN. I know I will suck but I'll enter anyway

 

[camel's_hump]

Well so far it looks like if you make your skin you will win by default -.-

 

[Horn]

Surely if there are no contestants or poor entries, I win by default?

 

[camel's_hump]

Well if no one enters then I will enter, and because I am the judge I will win

 

[Horn]

Hah. Also, you could have linked to the resource
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/3174/

OH NOES IM GONNA LOSE HITS!

 

[Arab4life]

Well, the skin isnt very flexible in IMO.


And alot of people are busy with the paired mapping competition....



I will see if i have time for this. I am thinking about making a barbarian version of it. Fur boots and armor, bear hide on the back.....

 

[Infinitynexus]

im doing a skin, keke

(no, its not the one i was doing earlier, whitehorn, since its considered old work)

 

[infrenus]

im in

 

[Kimbo]

Ill enter and do an entry IF I find the time and manage to finish it,

 

[PurgeandFire]

I might enter. I kind of increased my talent with Adobe Photoshop CS2 but I'm still not that great. Good luck to all contestants.

 

[camel's_hump]

Quit the spam.

Please post wisely at all times.

 

[Tawsix]

:/ I'll attempt, but I've never tried it before so don't expect a masterpiece.

 

[pandamanana]

not to offend... but I think you could have come up with a lot better theme than skinning a custom model.

try like basing it off a popular hero model, like Priestess of the Moon, Naga Sea Witch, Paladin. These 3 models are almost impossible to find a good skin for them on either Wc3Campaigns.net or TheHiveWorkshop.com

Apart from that I think I will joining also... I will be going for a complete Slaanesh conversion (using pinks, golds and bronzes) to create a nice sexy Slaanesh Warrior

 

[Odin]

i'm in
as a contrast to panda's nice sexy Slaanesh Warrior, i'm going to make a fat and ugly nurgle warrior

the portrait seem to be dameged, somehow

 

[Dionesiist]

Gotta´<3 Nurgle! But seriously, this thread could do more with less talk and more WIPs

 

[Kimbo]

wip. orc.. bleh.

 

[Horn]

Just skin it and quit whining you annoying little farts.

 

[Pyritie]

I'm not a fart...

And looking good, Wulf!

 

[Kimbo]

more wip

 

[Pyritie]

Lol maybe make the bottom of the feet into sandals or something, as right now it's got a pretty thick foot. And the toes look kinda funny like that.

Looking very good though.

 

[Kimbo]

cbf doing anymore though.

done.

 

[Pyritie]

Sweet!

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh yeah, I can see how Wulf wins the contest through sheer lack of other entries -_-´ Will enter when I get home though

 

[SuPa-]

ugh... I'm in I guess. Here's a WIP

 

[THE_END]

Ah so the skinning contest will consist of this..very nice
Too bad I have no skinning programs on this comp, I would def Scourge this guy up

 

[infrenus]

im choice my destiny:go,LIZARD MAN!!!
one small wip

 

[SuPa-]

Here's another WIP... yeah, I know it's too monotone, but oh well. Those shoulder things are a huge pain in the arse

 

[Rocker742]

I'll enter... I have nothing better to do anyways... and i need something to help increase my skinning skills.

 

[camel's_hump]

SuPa- I like its teef

 

[Arab4life]

Im thinking of putting in a sort of monster... but now that supa is into that...

Hmm. Might have to re-think my skin.


Thats excellent so far supa-

 

[DesKaladA]

ok i'm in i started woring before i made this poast
so here are my wipping wips
I give you {hero} cartoon man's wips

 

[PurgeandFire]

Honestly, I think you should get gimp. Stuff like MS Paint is really hard to work with and doesn't give you great results. If you have an Adobe Photoshop lying around on your comp, I suggest you read some tutorials and start skinning.

 

[DesKaladA]

i have it on a laptop somewhere but its old
i am going to get GIMP sometime

~added to DeskKaldaa todo list
See it nowhere

also i have jassic paint shop pro

but here is CART00|\| |\/| An
(or cartoon man for people who cant read the name when i typed it the first time)
ya tested with war3 screeney
its is done and i am including my targa file
(if you use it give me cred [if you ever do] )

 

[camel's_hump]

It needs shading and the colors are wacky.

 

[Gausslander]

I agree, that skin is not very good. Use some tutorial/tutorial linked tools to fix that up, hopefully it'll look better then.

I added chainmail to the knees, and plan to do that for some other parts of the body including the gloves. I'm also experimenting with the "icon" crystal effect, which, I think if executed correctly will lead to some pretty amazing results.
W I P:

 

[DesKaladA]

ok i'm going to try for the 3 time
now i have GIMP it might look better

Update: Ok this is my 3 try wips anad all
this is Lord Illumnanti Master of Light
i added more alpha and applyed a color map i made using GIMP Script-Fu
i'm not that good at art so i'm aming for 3rd place
so i hope i get that place or better

do you think that is a realsitc goal

UPdate 2: ok i mande 2 more skins and they are form the same wip and have the 1 ingame shot
Astro Lord Fights Wobbley Man Form Demnetion 10.9
i'll get to adding the wip and skins lader

 

[Gausslander]

You downloaded Gimp yet you still didn't read any tutorials... it's still just as bad as it would have been if you did it in paint.

 

[DesKaladA]

Ok so reading five hours of tuturals didn't show up in my work
makes kinda sence kinda hard to skin with dyslexically
but the site is giveing me a attachment in progress erros
i'll try agen tomorrow

 

[Gausslander]

SUBMITION:
NAME: Beastman of Apollo
I tried all I could with the shoulders, but that's about as good as I could get them without changing the name.

 

[DesKaladA]

WIP ant 2 outher textures

 

[Pyritie]

It doesn't matter how many textures you make. None of them work, because they are all a complete mess.

Make hands LOOK like hands, and a head LOOK like a head, m'kay?

 

[Kimbo]

..What's with the road tracks and rainbow warriors? o.0

 

[undeadorcjerk]

i guess im in, ill just doodle up w/e falls out of my head.

 

[DesKaladA]

you dont get it
do you
i create a script to handel each file with a new filter
then i run a program i made called LAPRIS
withc fixes all of the mistackes i made so dont like my work
fine

 

[undeadorcjerk]

actually, i'ma gonna drop. sorry.

 

[Gausslander]

This is my skin in-game, I hope you enjoy it, I sure do.

 

[Arab4life]

fine

But it still looks bad... Making a skin doesnt mean just painting over it randomly and making shapes. You have to know what your actually making. You have to add proper shading, make it look like what it supposed to be.

You just look like you doodeled (I cant spell that right ><) on it for 5 minutes.

 

[DesKaladA]

No noe ever gets my pop culter art
Moast people die after loocking at it

Um... your skin is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too random. You must have definition, concept, and shading. You have none of those.
