Texturing Competition #7 - Holy/Angelic

[Xatoga]

Well... What makes it holy?

 

[Madome]

Well... What makes it holy?

Its a moon warrior..
Well in wc3 they sometimes talk about a goddess of the moon so i was like moon=godess=holy, you see?

 

[Arowanna]

Goddess of The Moon?

Elune?

 

[Madome]

Goddess of The Moon?

Elune?

Probably ...

 

[HappyTauren]

Almost done, please tell me what i should improve about it.

the legs are SOO random.

 

[Madome]

the legs are SOO random.

Explain yourself further ..

 

[HappyTauren]

Just look at your muscles on the leg, and compare it to those. Different eh?

It ish blizz mistake! Look at original Druid Of The Claw unwrap please :]

 

[ike_ike]

The Wrap is still a bit funny, but it's not your fault. You can't really see too much of the muscles anyhow.

See below. The model has lots of weird things that you'll have to alpha out or cover in an ingenious way.

 

[Darkholme]

Also, it seems you tried to set teamcolor on the shoulders, but it's in a transparency area, so you got a bit hole in the arm instead.

 

[Arowanna]

He looks so freaking happy (The Moon Warrior) ^^

 

[A.R.]

Slight update, the wraps a bitch and i'm kinda getting bored of this skin :/

 

[HappyTauren]

No offense but... She looks more like bitch than "holy" xP
Face has an odd for "holy" being as well :/
I am not saying that technique and quality of this skin is low though.

alas, theres not much that can be done to de-bitchify the demoness' face. but if you're referring to the details, i've copied the Seraphim pretty closely

 

[HappyTauren]

Actually, I meant her face, as in, it looks evil. Make it more bland and good-looking rather than detailed and evil-looking

 

[Arowanna]

Her face looks like a "Seraphim Face" from Sacred 1 and 2 and I like that

IMO, Seraphims are quite "bitchy" but cool and in Sacred they are described as a fallen angel or some strange creature from space, cause they have armors that looks likes the Protoss armors in Starcraft. So I can't say that thay are "holy", but who give a shit. They fit in in this theme anyway ^^

Seraphim Face

You can see how it match with A.R's texture.

 

[Garr]

Holy Dragon Maiden WIP

I started it before i saw the seraphim or I wouldnt have used the same model. but they are much different styles and concepts anyways so it doesnt really matter if the model is the same.

 

[Darkholme]

@ike_ikeDude. Change your signature. It overlaps the posts beneath it and kills my eyes.

 

[TDR]

doesn't overlap anything for me.

 

[HappyTauren]

It depends on the browser. It does overlap on his because it loads full image. Howewer, firefox renders only the part that vB limited it to. IE sucks balls. The guy is talking about THIS:

 

[Darkholme]

Actually it was ONLY causing problems for me in Firefox, strangely enough.

Final Submission(S)

Alright. I have two versions here, and whichever people like more will be my final submission. They're the same except one has a color adjustment.

I decided to make the adjustment to match the lighting in the background better, and then decided it might look good overall on the skin. So I have both here.The adjustments looked good in the pic, but just looked pink in game

Feel free to try them both in game and tell me which you like better after that too.

If anyone still tries to tell me it still looks like a skeleton and skeletons are "evil", I will tell you you're a wad, and dare you to do better.

And if someone wants the image in my Wallpaper dimensions (that's what I made them at) I can give a png at 1280x960

Woo! 99% freehand. Theres a little boney bit that I never saw used on the model that I left there, I didn't change the eye glow, and the hand is still in the same shape as it was before (dark lines in same places)

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Finally got the blade done... I think xD

 

[Arowanna]

Kaitech[SanD], it's "smudgy" right now, add some deep in to the colors (Shadows/Lightnings).
But I like the idea

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I know it's smudgy, I absolutely suck at blending colours without the smudge tool.

Also, I have done that, but I'm skinning in 1024x512, and when I half it to wrap onto the model you can't see it anymore.

I'd prefer to be skinning the way A.R is doing it, but I have no idea how xd
It looks so much better without the un needed crap that's on it...
Also you can go over the lines without screwing the rest up

 

[Arowanna]

I know it's smudgy, I absolutely suck at blending colours without the smudge tool.

Me too and I can't help you, even if I wished I could

 

[SuPa-]

Kaitech, as of now the blade has no real definition and is just plain color. Try to simulate texture using highlights and stuff. Also, DO NOT use smudge. It's ugly

 

[Elenai]

OR! you can use smudge effectively as a given tool in a fine repitoire of tools.

 

[Darkyvm]

Angelic Guardian

I've decided to try to do something for this contest, so, here's a WIP of my sking: The Angelic Guardian.
Only done with the mask though, will post more screenshots later.

 

[Darkholme]

OR! you can use smudge effectively as a given tool in a fine repitoire of tools.

Here Here!

I use smudge constantly. It works, you just need to use it *right*

Paint blocks of color either just with brush or inside a mask.
smudge area between two blocks that should be gradual.
Either smudge *less* on the sharp edges, leave them, or use blur to smooth it out and make it look less pixely, as appropriate. Tada!.

Smudge works best if you include the middle tone/ a couple middle tones.

No Comments on "The Judge?"

 

[CombatTheWombat]

it looks like all you did to that spellbreaker is just a recolor and some black dots >< im sorry but i dont think that is really free-hand, anyways I just found an artpad lying in my basement, so i might play around with that and try to get something done for this contest.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Sorry about the double post y'all, heres first WIP of the one im doin with this artpad I found. Just sorta tryin to work out a concept for the face, hes called Keeper Of The Gate.

 

[inverted]

Im in and ill do dreadlord i guess

 

[THE_END]

You guys did see when the finish date for this contest is..right?

 

[Darkholme]

That's why I rushed to finish it yesterday

 

[Xatoga]

Wait, it ends the twelfth, doesn't it?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Kaitech, as of now the blade has no real definition and is just plain color. Try to simulate texture using highlights and stuff. Also, DO NOT use smudge. It's ugly

No, smudge ISN'T ugly, if it was ugly why would it be included in the tool? I find smudge very useful seeing as I can't "Digitally blend colours without smudge". Also, people have their own techniques for skinning that works best for them, and smudge is included in it.

You guys did see when the finish date for this contest is..right?

Yeah, but did you check your calender? Today is March the 25th 01:05(GMT) 2008. The contest finishes in 18 days...

 

[Xatoga]

18 days to do one skin aint that bad.

 

[Darkholme]

I think someone pushed it back. I remember the original finish being the 31st or something. less than a week away.... I also don't think it was the host who pushed it back (as he's the one who asked if you guys knew the end date).

 

[THE_END]

Don't look at me
I haven't touched the end date

 

[Darkholme]

"April 12 2008 12:00 AM, (GMT)."

Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble.

Public outcry!

I had to finish it in time, they should not get an extension

 

[THE_END]

Actually..I think that was the original date I made
Eh whatevs

 

[THE_END]

Oh and sidenote
Darky, you might wanna do more to the Blood Elf helm than just recolor and filter it
And Kai, you needa do some more work on that blade
Looks like plastic right now

P.S. I get to double post cause I'm hosting...rawrawrawr

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Heres the face, I think i like it, dont know yet, will have to see what it looks like with new hair and stuff. Even if it still blows this artpad certainly makes creating faces much faster and easier.

 

[Arowanna]

On the wrap, Wombat, the eyes looks really strange.
Maybe by "smalling" them down will help.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

maybe, i still dont know whether im even tryin to finish something for the contest or screw around though, lol

 

[THE_END]

Anyone still doing WIPs?

 

[Denu]

The contest sort of lost some of its steam.

 

[Darkholme]

well I already finished. It seems alot of others lost interest though...

 

[THE_END]

Yes..I have noticed
And so far the only finished skins really are...if I am not mistaken
Yours Darkholme and ike ike's?

 

[Madome]

I got new pc, i need to get my harddisk into this one, untill then, i cant continue.
