[Denu]

[Darkholme]

I'm In. I call the Lich

 

[XS-Archangel]

I think that I will participate in this contest too. Hm... I think I will make skin for Destroyer

 

[frostwhisper]

As of this moment, if anyone goes as far as touching the harpy skin files, he/she will be shot.
In other words: In.

 

[Pyritie]

I got spring break coming up, and I'm not going anywhere, so I might be able to whip something up.

 

[XS-Archangel]

As of this moment, if anyone goes as far as touching the harpy skin files, he/she will be shot.
In other words: In.

I intended to use harpy, but I realised that it doesn't have arms

 

[Dionesiist]

I really look forward to seeing frostwhisper texture

 

[Elenai]

Hmmn...Another brilliant competition that I shall start now on!

FOR THE VALAR!

 

[TDR]

I got spring break coming up, and I'm not going anywhere

loooser!
anyway, I'll make a harpy.

 

[SuPa-]

I have spring break coming up as well... So I will unleash a storm of hellfire (expression ironic towards the theme) upon you all!

 

[INF3RNO]

im in, now i just have to think of a cool idea hmmmmm

 

[MapHeist]

Sounds like fun! I like the theme... I think I'll join for it. Good luck everyone

 

[INF3RNO]

is a fallen angel ok to do?

 

[THE_END]

I guess, can't be too demonic
Still has to be somewhat holy

 

[Darkholme]

As of this moment, if anyone goes as far as touching the harpy skin files, he/she will be shot.
In other words: In.

loooser!
anyway, I'll make a harpy.

*Shock!* Oh no you dih-ent.

I actually have alot done already. I've had nothign better to do all afternoon, so I have about 4 hours of skinning complete.

Is it possible to have partial transparency or does wc3 make it 1bit transparency? If I have a half transparent picel via alpha, will it be half see through? It doesnt seem so, but maybe theres a way to do it.

And about the doubling.....

If someone starts skinning the lich I may spam their email until they decide to do another model. Maybe, Maybe not. you've been warned.

 

[INF3RNO]

k then im doing the shadow hunter as a fallen angel

[Archian]

Hmm, I said to myself the other day. If you're not hosting this contest you're joining it... So, we'll see what happens.

 

[INF3RNO]

since no1 else will post a wip i will =p

 

[CombatTheWombat]

That looks pretty damn evil, not to angelic, lol. and HELL YES, this is the theme i supported in the contest submission forum, GOOD JOB to THE_END. Im entering, got open spring break comin up too, gonna put a lot more time into this contest than the last one, get ready to lose

 

[Elenai]

This is exactly why I am not telling anyone the obvious model I am going to use...its one noone ever uses ^^

 

[THE_END]

Ok enough chatter, I wanna see some WIPs

 

[Arowanna]

Darn, I wished I had more time for this but
school is taking up all my time...
Very well, this was my idea, that
maybe, with 1% chanse, will be finished...



Yes, a Seraphim from Sacred 2 and have
"her" as a base and make a Seraphim out of the The Warden.
If anyone wants to use this idea,
feel free couse I wont have time anyway...

No... No WIP yet couse I have no time :/

 

[THE_END]

Hrm, nice idea, would have to be executed nicely to be a worthwhile skin...
Too bad I'm not in this..damn hosting

 

[Ezikielth]

I are in and in is what I am... how ever I im not out or around or even on top. But I am In and I shall create some sort of creature, pertaining to but not necessarily a templar. Most likely on a good day...

 

[INF3RNO]

lol k ask yourself now why did a fallen angel fall? because they lost there wings no? that why my fallen angels gonna have artificial wings lol =p

 

[Ezikielth]

wait, what? Fallen angels... fallen... do you know what a fallen angel is?? Why a fallen angel is a demon. Dah wiki says so and thats like umm tha mondern bible soe yea, you made a demon for a holy contest gg.

"The Grigori then fell in love with human women. According to the text, some of the Grigori even took wives and created offspring, giants known as the Nephilim. This made God so angry that he cursed those Grigori who had betrayed Him, threw them out of Heaven, made them mortal and transformed them into demons."

[INF3RNO]

but but but >< guess umm idk ill w8 see what a moderator says its not exactly a fallen angel im just going to do some angel thingy make him in white with hoyl runes and stuff would that be ok???

 

[THE_END]

Ok unless it looks like a gahd damn demon with horns and such
And doesn't stick to a white, holy, I am poweredz0red by Gawd theme
Then I will not approve

 

[Darkholme]

I'll use the lich, then. Thanks for the idea

You are an evil, evil little peonpeasant.

SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM.

Whatever, Unless the finished skins look really similar its all the same to me, I was just being dramatic for the sake of being dramatic.

Mine is actually mostly finished. Maybe I'll try to enter twice, if you're actually going to use the lich. I'll finish this skin, see what everyone else is doing, then I'll make sure I don't use the same model when i make a second.

Someone should make a UI.

 

[THE_END]

Dark, need to see some WIPs before final submission
...hmm should make that a rule
Anyways, show some WIPs please

 

[Ezikielth]

Soe... Wippy mc WiP sauce lol finished the alpha'ing and the little lion in the armpit well hrm here is my base image and my skin. Keep in mind, armor has not been touched from original.

 

[THE_END]

Ok well..I guess it's a good start there
Not enough to really see anything amazing

 

[Darkholme]

Well... No source material, this just came out of my head. Although I was loosely inspired by D&D Inevitables (mechanical celestial creatures that enforce law) this doesn't look particularly like any of them.

I'm not planning on posting the unwrap of it until its finished unless I have to.

To Do:
1. Finish the other 3/4 of the headress
2. Add the tiny details (this is a rough so far, it needs more details)
3. Add more teamcolor
4. Maybe change the detail shape on the face more. (make the eyes look less evil)
5. Fix some small wrapping issues.
5. Finish the chin thingy
6. Make face a bit less skully
7. Just more new stuff in general

But this is what I got finished today.

I spend like 10 minutes on my screenshots (they look pretty), maybe 15.

And I'd like to note that blizzard did a godawful wrap of the lich's ribcage.

and Model Notes:
1. No teeth, I went for a less emotional look on the face.
2. The bottom section of the mouth is actually in 3 sections, but you need to look close to see them.
3. The Horns are done, I gave them a shiny esque metal texture (if someone has suggestions on how to improve them I will try them and see how they turn out.
4. The back of the headress is just more white cloth at the moment and I don't know what I will change it to.

So what do you think so far? it's less done than I initially thought, but still coming along nicely.

 

[Darkholme]

Ezekielth: that the Eredar? I like the Teamcolor.
Edit-Whoops, Double post.

 

[ike_ike]

Caaaaaaaaaaaake

Methinks I shall try a Warden. A valkyrie of some sort.

EDIT: WIPity WIP!

Just a big block of white so far.

 

[markone]

hey guys here is my wip, still a lot shits to do, damn dreadlord they inverted a lot of things on his body, im still trying to make some shapes what i want to get... also a lot of details need to go in, but this is enought so you can understand my idea

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm texturing the Destroyer, so that everyone knows. I also inform everyone that the face wrap is horrible...

 

[XS-Archangel]

I tried to texture the Destroyer but it seems that it has two files. And it's to difficult and I gave up from it.
So I find another model

 

[thisruoy]

Ill work on my holy-sammy box

 

[Madome]

Can i join too?

 

[TDR]

no, I forbid you

 

[Madome]

I wasnt asking It was a retorical question >

 

[frostwhisper]

Wasted post space is what I call it.
Anyway, to start on my skin...
