Texturing Competition #7 - Holy/Angelic

[Madome]

Blending options. Be more specific. Do you mean you made one piece and then had it copy and spread out ofver the area? or do you mean like, multiple, screen, darken, lighten, overlay.

As for the outline thing, alof of people cover the area with a solid color and then start drawing over the solid color.

Personally I rarely do that. Sometimes I do. It just depends on my mood. I usually just start drawing details on an empty layer over the original, and keep adding details on various layers until I have the original covered.

This time I did both.

I thought i had a blending option on my clothing layer but i don't. Btw the clothing is done in 3 different layers. 1 solid color, 1 with the hairs brushing work and 1 more with a blending option to give it a special feel.
I do it like you, i make layers and draw on them to overlap the original, if thats what you mean.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well, no matter how much your explanations say he is good...he still looks horridly evil, black and red with a demon horse that has glowing red eyes? How is that holy at all?

Well, anyways, schools out, time to start skinning.

 

[PurgeandFire]

The face is better but needs some contrast. Nice job though Ezi.

You can always go over the highlights with a bright brush and the darker areas with a dark brush to add some contrast. I think the face should also be a tad bit sharper so you know what it is ingame. But good job, definitely an improvement.

 

[Technomancer]

Dio and me are using the same model -_-'

Second Texture WiP:

 

[ike_ike]

His face looks a bit clueless. Though that's probably just because of the unwrap.

EDIT: WIP #6

Finally started on some details

if you mean this:

Click the Arrow

that wasnt ezi, that was me.

 

[Darkholme]

Here is the new WIP. The face has been completely redone, and some of the cloth has been worked on. Still needs alot of work, but I thought I'd put a WIP up for you guys.

[Edit]: Crap, I doubleposted again. If someone wants to merge this with my last post that would be super (if thats possible)

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Ugh, I just cant seem to find any inspiration for this contest, dunno if im in or not.

 

[madcat2]

Ugh, I just cant seem to find any inspiration for this contest, dunno if im in or not.

Think of a angel, Dreadlord, Make him in to a fallen angel, still having the good angel look but having the demon still part of him. make his wings in to angels but dark red, Eyes should be black with a white glare coming off of them with a darken light shining off in to his eye brows and upper cheek bone. He should have half of a peasant shirt but only dianglely covering his chest so some of his chest and a arm are uncovered, his pants should but white princess of persah style but with some light blood marks on them and restiched marks, he should have human feat but near the claws give him dark red skin like its taking over slowly, same with his hands the open part of his chest should have a massive scar that goes under the part of the shirt. his face should be mostly human, with a white hair goatee.

 

[A.R.]

Update, nearly finished. The cloth still looks messy, the wrap there is no fun I'm still debating whether or not to just alpha out the horns/tail... unless anyone has a better idea, in which case let me know

EDIT: added an ingame shot

 

[Darkholme]

Aha! But does it have teamcolor!?

 

[A.R.]

yup, the cape is teamcolour

 

[frostwhisper]

To beat that skin, one would require a mirracle.

 

[Darkholme]

It is pretty damn good. I'll try.

 

[XS-Archangel]

A.R. which program do u use for that ?

 

[A.R.]

photoshop CS2. i used to use photoshop 4 until a little over a year ago

 

[Dionesiist]

And I suppose you have a tablet, right?

 

[markone]

eh... if i would have tablet skining would be 50% easier. its hard to move what u imagine on screen, much easier with pen.

i see some gr8 works here , really awesome, but that arthas guy looks so evil try give some holy effect on him?


anyway i've done with face, check it.

 

[ike_ike]

WIP#7

There's something wrong with the model

The wings alpha out on the portrait, but not on the model. Is there a reason for this?

 

[markone]

hmm maybe its not possible to remove them on model

 

[A.R.]

And I suppose you have a tablet, right?

yup, an old-fashioned Wacom one. best thing since sliced bread

@ike_ike: yeah, its crappy how you can't alpha the wings on the model - the material simply isn't alpha-able. but ingame you can set the transparency to 0.01% with triggers and it makes the alpha'd parts of the model transparent. it looks wierd on other models, but its fine on the warden.

wow gr8 idea dude!! really gr8

Oh comon, stop making a fool out of yourself and just face it, i brushed it.

 

[MadseN]

Hey !

Finally i got some time over to tryout the texture competition after 2 hours of work i came out with this (i know im slow but im new to this xD).

Still loads to do but it's something

 

[Elenai]

To beat that skin, one would require a mirracle.

Ironic..when you consider that the nature of this competition is angelic and holy.

 

[Madome]

Ironic..when you consider that the nature of this competition is angelic and holy.

I agree. They are dark and suck the life force from their enemy's, i dont see whats holy about that, and its a paladin, so neither does he look like an angel.

 

[MadseN]

Another Update

/MadseN

 

[~Void~]

@MadseN -- It looks cool, like a Paladin from AOE2... The screenshot is kinda bad though.

@ike -- Remove the black spots on the model, and change the wings.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

First WIP

Finally found something to do, I feel it almost necessary that I do a skin for the death knight that is actually heavenly, unlike the blood knight . So here is first WIP, I need some help with the face, I suck at faces, any advice would be much appreciated.

 

[Madome]

The eye looks awesome wrapped.

 

[Pyritie]

anyway i've done with face, check it.

The mouth and eyes look like they're not part of the face. And that face is definite dodge/burn.

Oh comon, stop making a fool out of yourself and just face it, i brushed it.

Whether you use a brush or filter, it still looks bad. Freehand moar pl0x.

The face looks a little too happy.


I call the dragon skin!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

kk, I noticed that about the face too, I keep tryin to make it a little "darker" but ill have to keep workin on it.

 

[MadseN]

--Final Submission--

After 10 hours of work I'm finally finished with my first hand textured unit

It's supposed to resemble a Temple Knight.

Hope you like it
Now im off to finish my Cold one model =)

/MadseN

 

[Madome]

Ingame it looks ok, if i freehand it more, result ingame will be exact. Its useless.

And what does pl0x mean?

 

[Gilles]

Much too white MadseN. I would change the color of the steeds armor/cloth.

 

[markone]

The mouth and eyes look like they're not part of the face. And that face is definite dodge/burn.

noup, its smudge, and smudge, and a little more of smudge

 

[Ezikielth]

Here is my wip body is still a recolor and the hoof isnt done.

 

[Darkholme]

Here's mine. This time with the Unwrap.

What do you think/Give suggestions.

Teamcolor on the bottom of the robe like with the lich (but added more gradually) on the gems on the robe, and on the back of the collar. (On the scale).

And here's the new face in detail too.

And I don't deny it. The red cloth was inspired by the blood knight's sword handle, but I knew SOMETHING needed to go there.

Well Ezikielth, its definitely an improvement. The face still looks blurry though.

 

[TDR]

no offense man...but that's rather gay/girly than angelic ...I mean...pink? why?
though technically it's not bad

 

[Ezikielth]

Wtf Blurry!!?!?! But But I Was Told To Blur It Zomg

 

[Darkholme]

no offense man...but that's rather gay/girly than angelic ...I mean...pink? why?

lol. That: would be the teamcolor. It looks good with every color but red. I'll post a different color.

Here it is with blue.

 

[Ezikielth]

Sigh I hate this stupid daenei priest like he will always look like a filthy orc.

 

[Denu]

I just looks like a lich in white robes. Rather boring. I cant think of any suggestions for it. I just dont see the model being holy regardless of the skin. One thing I would change would be the bones. Bones are UNholy. Oh and that teamcolor balance thing looks out of place on the skin.

All in all I think you need to work more on the concept. What exactly is he supposed to be anyways?

 

[Darkholme]

What bones? There are no bones on the model... There is a bronze robotic or armored looking face, White sleeves, white robe, no bones around the collar anymore. the only thing I haven't figured out how to make look really "good" is that he still has the horn things on the face.

 

[Denu]

The head looks like a skull and the hands looks like bones.

 

[Ezikielth]

More wip-age oh and the litch looks fine don't edit it.

 

[Darkholme]

The concept behind it is a Celestial Judge. So "he/she/it" determines the fate of those who arrive in the afterlife type thingy. It should be a little harsher than the pretty fluffy angel.

And I'd like to note it looks less evil than the blood knight...

Ezikielth: The shaded spots, like under the nose, around the mouth, at the top of the eye, around the forehead ridges, have too much of a solid block of color, with the edges a bit blurry, whereas the rest of the face has a bit too little definition. and the wrinkles on the right top of his forehead need more sharpness. Instead of just using the brush, use the polygonal lasso tool. Then color inside the mask you make with the lasso. It's like the tablet for people with a mouse.

Here's the unwrap of the Dranei face I made, so that you can see what I'm talking about. You obviously can't just use it though, because you'll end up disqualifying yourself. So just use it as an example.

If everyone else agrees there's no way to make the lich holy then I'll give up and find another model. But I want some more opinions before I do that...

 

[Ezikielth]

Here is the finished face... I think and I just wanna show off his crystal staff... Looks pretty pimp eh?
~Off topic, Check out the map notes in my sig and tell me what you think if a map like that would sink or swim

 

[THE_END]

Ezik, post your off topic map issues in another thread, this is not an advertisement thread. All skins are looking good guys
Ezik- you can make him look not like an orc, he doesn't look like one right now
Keep working and make it nice
Dark- personally I like it
You can always start another skin and keep that one on the side. And then submit whichever one you think is better, or what people like more
