Texturing Competition #9 - Fiery Demonic/Fire

[HappyTauren]

Dio, Denu, Sansui... Voting will be hard XD
But Denu gets over nine thousand points for originality.

 

[Darkholme]

Not that I disagree about those three being awesome, but, am I not even worth mention? I think I've made some pretty good skins. and I won the last comp. I just need to come up with a good Idea for this one.

 

[Denu]

Wip #2

Mostly worked with the wrap of the wings. They will definately need tweaking. They are too defined which doesn't make them look very good. His right horn hand gets patly cut out because of the alpha but isn't all that noticeable.

 

[Darkholme]

Here are 2 more WIPs from me.

too bad I can't make up my mind.

so you get: a murloc, and Dwarves

 

[ike_ike]

My demon sappers will snap that Mortar team. Just you wait! My tablet is acting up again, so WIPS will be a long time coming -_-

EDIT: And behold!

 

[Madome]

Ill do a dark troll ^^ Will look funny

Any tips on better cracks ? And i think the firearm wont look good ingame, but i guess if you make fireball attachments it will look verry good. Don't feel like wrapping the skin, it takes way too long, isnt there an other way to look at the wrap??

 

[frostwhisper]

Dark, do the MT. The murloc is just a crappy model to do...
Madome, how bout a wrapped shot?

 

[HappyTauren]

The murloc is just a crappy model to do...

Shit me moar.

 

[frostwhisper]

Still a crappy model to do.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

madome, just get wc3 viewer, it takes like 5 seconds to take a wrapped shot

you just load the original model from the MPQ browser, go up to texture, click remap textures. and then replace the one that it uses with your custom one.

pix or it didnt happen

 

[Madome]

[Darkholme]

Hells Mortar team, the next WIP.

any tips?

The flamey beard took like an hour. and because of how I did it, it also took like 15 freaking layers

Any advice on the cracks? presently theyre just orange lines on a separate layer

 

[frostwhisper]

They actually look pretty good as they are right now. Adding some red in the centers might be nice...
A good idea would be to remove the big guy's shirt, so you can show more of that molten skin. Also, make his eyes orange... that green doesn't go well with the overall theme.

 

[AntoMarc]

interesting idea Darkholme are very good skinners here Denu , Darkholme , Dio , Sansui etc. good job to all I have done the head of my turtle I will post tomorrow a WIP in-game texture I think

 

[Madome]

another wip

 

[Darkholme]

Next WIP.

Started on the smaller dwarf's clothes, removed the shirt from the big one, cracks temporarily turned off. lost the green eyes. I didn't like the orange. We'll see what I come up with.

 

[madcat2]

Yeah I decided I'm, going to go a head and drop out I can't skin with out my arm not being able to move. But if any one needs any help figuring something out or something I'll be happy to help.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

It looks like I dont have a whole lot of chance to place in this compo, but I am going to finish it and hope for the best anyways.

 

[ike_ike]

Anyone got ideas for how to do a liquid lava surface?

 

[Darkholme]

Here's the next WIP. I did up a set of clothes/armor on the small dwarf. Demonhide

anyways, what do you guys think? suggestions?

it's not done yet, but at least it doesnt look the sam as it did now.

 

[ike_ike]

Bleh. CnPed the lava-ish one from the Water Elemental. It'll stay there till I can make a decent lava type texture.

 

[Madome]

I feel the same way about it ^^

 

[frostwhisper]

Dark, the big guy is perfect. Perhaps a darker beard, but overall perfect. Losing the cracks really enhanced the skin. Also the eyes (shadowy) are awesome now.

The little guy's also really good. No critique there. My only suggestion is to move on to the cannon and rockets, as the dwarves themselves look great.

 

[Darkholme]

this is the 4th time im trying to post this, because hive hates me.

any tips you have about making the big guy look more smoky? I wasn't planning on keeping him this way it was just supposed to be until I figure out what to do with the cracks. but if it looks good ill leave it for now, and see if there's anything I can do to add to it when I finish the props.

as for the molten lava, search google images. its incredibly useful for seeing how textures should look.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Ike_Ike, I REALLY like the little guy with the TNT on his back, but the one standing upright is kinda lame. He aint too bad by himself but he looks shitty in comparison to the other one.

Anyways, latest WIP of mine, about 40% done. Anyone got any cool ideas of what I could do with the weapon?

I really think that you should put some lava cracks around his joints and other places of "wear" like... idk places where u would normally get wrinkles :Op

 

[frostwhisper]

Like I said, I'm against the cracks altogether... but Gnoob's suggestion is good.

 

[Denu]

A small WIP. Did the rest of the torso except for the neck. Started a little on the face. The face wrap will cause me troubles for a while. Checked out the legs a bit and it looks like the wrap for that will be a little annoying as well. The lower body will be my next wip, then the face, then finnishing up the wings, and lastly some tweaking.

 

[frostwhisper]

Damn that glow on the model. In that first wrapped shot, did you use the Neutral team glow? (the black one)

 

[Denu]

No I turned off the associated meshes. And the glow actually works in my favor. It helps mask some of the problem areas. Only thing I dont like is the eye glow. Thankfully you dont see that too much.

 

[frostwhisper]

Bleh, I personally think it looks better without it ^^

 

[Pyritie]

Bleh, I personally think it looks better without it ^^

Not much he can do about it though, seeing as that would be a model edit. :/

 

[Madome]

WIP I think body is done.

 

[INF3RNO]

new skin ill post a wrapped version in the morning

 

[Madome]

another wip

 

[Madome]

new torso, with thanks to Darkholme for telling me what was wrong ^^

 

[Darkholme]

an improvement to be sure. could still use more clear definition though, and your ribs dont come all the way out to your abs at the bottom. they get farther from your abe as you go. ribs also point upward, not downward, and if you feel right below your chest youll see your ribs go above your abs.

Move the abs down, change the angle of the ribs a bit, (look at a skeleton for a good pic of a ribcage) farther from the abs at the bottom, and closer near the top.

then you need to give your troll a collarbone

and touch up the details, the definition between muscles should be more clear.

Wha? XD

 

[INF3RNO]

lol im trying to be creative =p

 

[AntoMarc]

I think I will abandon because I don't know what I do wrong I can't use the skin in game all skins what I tried from hive didn't work for me . I open Import Manager , edit path with the originally skin path , I exit and enter again and didn't work what I do wrong ? If I will can resolve this problem I will not abandon ...

 

[AntoMarc]

eh I have found the problem thank you FrIkY to say the problem here its a WIP Isn't very originally

 

[XS-Archangel]

I guess I can't use my Golden, fire dragon started couple months ago

 

[Mr.Goblin]

you can't ... you have to start a new skin completely.. FOR the competition.. sadly.. cause its looks really good

 

[SuPa-]

lol im trying to be creative =p

It needs more highlights, shadows, and overall contrast. In game that area would look like a blob

 

[Denu]

Wip #4

Worked on the legs. Would have finnished them had I not have to make the upper and lower body fuse together properly. Might finnish them later tonight. I will have to look for reference on the hooves. I aint too good at doing them on my own. Oh and I don't like parts of the upper leg above the knee. I need to make it a bit brighter to match the shoulders and upper chest.

 

[Madome]

Im tired of changing the body , ima leave it as it is...

 

[FamousPker49]

Here we go, new idea, dark mage riding his hell steed. I need to make the hair more flamelike n such.

Only a WEEK left!
