Texturing Competition #7 - Holy/Angelic

[Pyritie]

It needs more color. At the moment it looks like a white blob.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Them eye's need alot of work, and the skin around them has no shape whatsoever, we're not drawing holy anime ^^

Also yeah, needs more colour.
The back of his sandals are very blurry.
The wing detail, as in the shading around each feather could use more darkening so it's noticeable ingame.

You could try and give him some kind of body armour, like a shoulderpad and kneepads.

Good start though.

 

[HappyTauren]

Try increasing contrast, should do the trick.

 

[Darkholme]

Technomancer. looking at your skin, the whole face needs much more definition, particularly in the way of accurate shading around the eyes.Also, I'm not entirely sure about illidan's wrap, but the way you have it drawn won't he have a chest on his back? I would imagine the right half of his torso should be the back should it not?

 

[Dionesiist]

No, Illidan's chest is un-mirrored.

 

[Technomancer]

A couple of things:

Personally, I find that the skin doesn't look just like a white blob in game. Kind of the point anyway is that its supposed to be bright and holy, almost blinding bright. And maybe I've just been looking at it for far too long, but I can see pretty much all the details. I have tried it with darker contrast, it looked pretty meh.

Warcraft 3 IS cartoony, in the way of textures, at least. Look at the Peon, the Peasant, the Mountain King. There is a general trend of everything being slightly cartoony.

For the chest, the entire front of the torso just flips around, it doesn't mirror half. So Illidan and/or the demon hunter always has abs on his back. It's unavoidable.

And, can someone give me a reason for giving him armor? He's supposed to be some form of angel. I don't generally envisage angels as being clad in armor.

Also, the wing feathers are supposed to be subtle. They are noticeable (otherwise the wings would just look like one flat colour, and they don't, do they?) but not overwhelming. I suppose I could try making them darker/more contrasting, I'll have to have a look at my options...

 

[HappyTauren]

more contrast plz.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

No, but think about it, if he's meant to be an angel warrior byt the look of things, then he should at least have some kind of protection.

 

[Gilles]

Markone! Not quite as good as your previous one. But a good skin. There's nothing really amazing about it though.

 

[inverted]

here my wip.
One of my first things done in photoshop and my first attempt at a skin.

 

[Denu]

Everyone seems to be picking the same skins. Oh well its a worthy endeavor to reskin demons into angels.

 

[frostwhisper]

Nah... everyone wants their angel to have wings...

Not Me. I was original and just went with spirity. instead of needing wings. And most of the non demonic models are further from being angelic than the demonic ones are, funny enough. If someone makes a holy Tauren I'll be very impressed.

 

[frostwhisper]

Someone was making a golden bull out of the doom guard, and his wrap is quite similar to that of the tauren...

 

[markone]

@gilles well i think that its not so amazing too, but i was enjoying while drawing it... and that is important... i think that body is the best part of it... armor was boring to make...
also i would add that my skin is one of rearly who is actually HOLY

@guy_who_is_making_dreadlord_skin (sry for forgeting name) u will discover big problems when u see how stupid warp is on his stomach and "ass". its so stupid that its not possible to make anything nice, that made me off that skin. good luck with it, you will need it

I did a moon warrior, PHAH!
Btw holy tauren was my first idea -_-" Its impossible i tell you, IMPOSSIBLE!!

 

[Denu]

Darkholme wasnt there some else besides you doing a lich skin?

 

[frostwhisper]

Elenai was doing a lich skin, but he hasn't shown much.

 

[Darkholme]

I thought Elenai left the comp. Maybe he's still working on it, I dunno.

[THE_END]

[Elenai]

[CombatTheWombat]

[Darkholme]

[Madome]

3 more days..........

counting today.

Still didnt get my skin back, i guess that means im out ..

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well guys, ive got good news and bad news. Bad news is I wont be able to get skin done for contest. Good news is I get to go on surprise vacation. When I get back I will finish skin and upload it to site.

 

[markone]

so how much people uploaded skin??

 

[Technomancer]

Alright, here's my final entry:

Angel - Base Model: Illidan Evil


Download the skin file here: View attachment HolyIllidan.blp

The path for the skin is:
textures\illidan.blp

The preview is pretty lousy due to me having to resize the images into smaller dimensions. For a better view of the skin, I suggest viewing it in-game.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Great skin Techno, wings <3

Depth could be higher but still, it looks really nice.

 

[Darkholme]

CONTEST OVER! Who Won?

 

[ike_ike]

O RLY?

TDR? Do you still draw breath?

Okay. The only contestants I can think of still in:
Darkholme (Judge)
Dionesiist (Archon)
Technomancer (Angel)
ike_ike (Valkyrie)
Markone (Keeper of the Crusade)

 

[Darkholme]

well the end date is passed. so im assuming its over.

 

[THE_END]

Yea just need someone to round up the final submissions...uhh

..cough*couldsomeoneelsedoitI'mhostingthisdamnthing*cough
P.S...I'm lazy

 

[Hawkwing]

What about AR?? He had two submissions..

 

[Darkholme]

do I need to relink the images? my final submission is like 10 pages back.

 

[Hawkwing]

It Would be nice. Make the judge's job a lot easier.

 

[Darkholme]

Unwrap, and Wrap
Blp

 

[Technomancer]

You'll probably want to add a link in that post to a download of the actual texture.

 

[frostwhisper]

Before anyone starts jumping about what the theme is for next time, Wolve moved the UI contest thread somewhere where I can work on it. So basically unless you want both a UI and Texturing contest at the same time, the next one's UI probably. I already made a template UI and I'll also make a sample map which has the import paths set up for easy testing.

 

[Darkholme]

JUDGE THIS CONTEST!

I've been waiting for days and the suspense is killing me!

 

[THE_END]

I can't judge it fool..I have to make a poll
Which I will make later today

 

[Darkholme]

Bah! Curse it all!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Ok seriously THE_END, how long is it going to take you to make that poll. Especially when holme or whoever it was already got that stuff together for you. Snarf

 

[THE_END]

Excuse me
If you wanna do it you little brat, then go ahead
Make the poll for me, since your so in need of it
I'm busy with personal matters, so chill the hell out

[Denu]

Maybe to preoccupy the mob we should stat up the idea thread again.

 

[frostwhisper]

I double that idea.
