[Ghan_04]

I think we can begin this now.

 

[Ezikielth]

<--- Felgaurd

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm doing dreadlord. Will post wips in due time.

EDIT: I seize the first WIP of the Thread.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

YES FINALLY!!! I AM IN woot

 

[Hawkwing]

I'm deffinatley in. I've been waiting for this for forever! I doubt I will place top three, or even top five but I can always make an attempt.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Ahh man ...

I think will take Mannoroth ^^ deffinatley

good luck everybody!

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

I think that, for the first time, I could participate as long as I've texturing skills ^^

 

[Dionesiist]

Less talk, more WIPs.

EDIT: Another one from me. I officially love the dreadlord.

 

[Ezikielth]

Dio, you should slow down and take your time, the contest just started

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

He has nothing else to do, probably ^^

 

[CombatTheWombat]

That armor is lookin sweet dio, keep it up. Someone told me at one point but how again do you get the plain old texture map off for a unit so you can just skin on black? By the way Draenie Mage is mine

 

[XS-Archangel]

I think I can take a contest in this.
but not these days... too busy

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Mega early WIP, decided to go furion instead of dranae mage.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Newer WIP, some cape work.

 

[Hawkwing]

It looks nice but it's very simple.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Dont worry, it will get more details and stuff l8er. The contest has just started

 

[madcat2]

Alright I'll join in.

Nice work Dionesiist its looking good so far but the wings aren't in the same shading as the rest of the skin so they do look good but they do have kind of a weird feeling to them.

Good so far Combat, Very cool skin to convert for this theme I'll look forward to how it turns out. No comments so far though since I see your still fixing some of the things you've added I'll comment on it later.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

You were right, no way I could fit enough details into that skin. So I gave up. Thought up a much cooler idea, though I will not reveal it yet. Here is VERY basic WIP. Super quick shading and NO details whatsoever. Just part of the basic armor layout. Don't want to give away the idea yet

Thats pretty good, wombat!

 

[Ezikielth]

WiPpAgE...
@wombatlad: I must say that is some nice team color. For a wombat... Oh wait you didnt do it lol.

 

[FamousPker49]

Very sexy! I like it!

 

[Hawkwing]

So far I like Ezikielth's Texture the best. But most of the others are still very early WIP's so it is hard to tell. Also, it's just my opinion.

Anyways, here's my first WIP. I call it a Legion Nature Enforce, though it may be changed in the future. "When the Burning Legion first attacked the Night Elf's homeland the Legion used their twisted shadowy magics to churn and morph the Druid's of Ashenvale. In the process they successfully created these disgusting beasts."

I plan to do more to the face in the future, but I am leaving it at this for now. I am considering adding thorns and ferns coiling around his face. Mostly around the edges of his hair. Also, I will be fixing the hair on the side of his head.

 

[FamousPker49]

I suppose I will enter, but am not nearly as good as the others. I was going for a molten Rhino Demon thing, although I dunno if I could come up with a better idea.

Helpful critiques would be great.

 

[Hawkwing]

I like the way you did the lava cracks but there is almost too much of it. Try covering some of it up with plating of some sort. Perhaps some sort of natural armor.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, and one thing... I don't think those packs are alphaeing out, and I have no idea what to do with them...

 

[Hawkwing]

No you cannot, I have tried. You can get pretty damn close though. A possible idea is using the Kodo with a rider and make it a Legion Pet!

 

[FamousPker49]

Hmm... I suppose that would work. Thanks. Will see what I can do.
EDIT:finished the beast, got the rider left..

 

[Sabertooth]

The lava doesn't stick out enough...it looks extremely dull. It doesn't look like cracks, just lines painted on a black kodo, at the moment.

Though I have...never(?) seen a kodo skin before, so thumbs up.

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, I am in the process of roughening the dried lava, and brightening the cracks.

 

[Sabertooth]

Awesome. That is one badass Kodo face.

 

[FamousPker49]

A little more work. Taking Sansui's suggestions.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That is still a messy face. You just need to add facial features... What I mean is to make it clear on how the face is constructed. Try adding shadows.

 

[Hawkwing]

Like I said earlier. It gets really boring and ugly if it is consists of lava cracks, and lava cracks only. Try adding some "uncracked" areas on his face and back, perhaps.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, I tried some shading, and Hawkwing, I was gunna wait til i had the basic lava cracks n whatnot done before I added armor n such.

 

[Sansui]

I'm in, should be done tomorrow.

 

[ike_ike]

That...is damn creepy.
No one touch the sappers! They're mine, I say! WIPS coming up shortly

EDIT: WIPage. I really need to learn to shade these things...

 

[INF3RNO]

 

[Sansui]

 

[madcat2]

Well Here is what I did for 3 minutes.
Got a face kind of done.

 

[SuPa-]

Sansui, that reminds me of Silent Hill, except it's more red
Looks nice!

 

[frostwhisper]

Sansui's skin's giving me nightmares.

 

[Gilles]

Sansui's texture looks like a burn victim to me, which is creepy looking.

 

[Hawkwing]

Here's another WIP. I have made the ears black and charred, and changed the loincloth thing.

 

[frostwhisper]

You're not gonna leave that beard green, are ya?

 

[Hawkwing]

Chances are that I wont in the end, it all depends what I do with the rest of the skin.

 

[AntoMarc]

very cool skins I will enter tomorrow with a fire mage/wizard skin and I will post the WIP , good luck to all

 

[FamousPker49]

I got alot of work done. Few screens ingame, and stuff. I hope you guys like it. My skinning texhniques are probably very poor...

Sansui, that is creepy, it looks like a Silent Hill Burn Victim...
All the skins so far look great, I wish I was as good as some of the other contestants!

 

[Mr.Goblin]
