So uum... do we have to make a skin for (example) Naga Royal Guard and make it look different, or is it like (example) make a skin for Arthas but with Naga related stuff on it?

 

[The_Silent]

If i get the time, i'm in.

Just take anything and nagafy it, so to say. Naga Arthas or Naga Thrall, for example.

 

[FrIkY]

But that seems kinda... silly. :/ I always imagine Nagas having no legs, but tail, and being sea creatures. Having them on foot... that's odd to me.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Evolution anyone?

 

[FrIkY]

No. Bahh, the theme actually sucks... I might not even join. Unless I come up with a brilliant idea.

 

[D a w n]

there are many units that could be used without any problem:

Hydralsik, 1 of those dragons(even Frostwyrm), Revenant, Faerie Dragon, Faceless One, Hydra and so on and so on

 

[THE_END]

Turn anything into a Naga..that's basically the idea
It doesn't HAVE to be you know the exact snake/dragon form, but...look at these for inspiration

 

[Just_Spectating]

Hmmmm

I was actually trying to make a naga out of the archimonde for the last contest at first.

However, thats when my computer died. (stupid virus)

NOW I HAVE RETURNED

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i might give it a try... i might.. good luck all

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Im in. And the theme is fine FRIKY, so suck it up jk

 

[A.R.]

roawrawrawr:

 

[Just_Spectating]

Wow Great skin so far A.R.

Im sure u'll fix the gray on the neck?

 

[FrIkY]

I never thought I would see that... way to go being creative.

 

[Technomancer]

That is actually an awesome idea AR.

I might have a go at this, maybe. Perhaps.

 

[FrIkY]

Hmm, I'll try doing something with Tichondrius, but first I need to learn how to make those unwraps like A.R. does.

 

[falferi]

I am gonna do ent.

 

[Hawkwing]

Oh, just my luck. Easter break is coming up tomorrow. It looks like I'm in this one. I might have to rush it, however.

 

[Kyrbi0]

roawrawrawr:

Making good use of those unwraps, aren't you?

You should definitely provide a link to your CHEATING source of power.

 

[Pyritie]

You should definitely provide a link to your CHEATING source of power.

I don't see how that's considered cheating, since it's a resource available to everyone. They're posting the unwraps. So?

durr

 

[Rising_Dusk]

He's obviously joking, jeez..

 

[Kyrbi0]

@Pyritie:
You took the quote "SOURCE OF POWER" seriously??

Lawl. xD

 

[Pyritie]

...Shaddap.

 

[viiva]

Is it ok to alpha out some parts? Fish with legs looks kinda silly..
like here:

I'll just make like a rope/net from his neck to let him carry 2 fish (for bait or whatever)

If someone needs an idea:
Make the Ancient of Wonders like a big clam

 

[Pyritie]

Is it ok to alpha out some parts? Fish with legs looks kinda silly..

Yeah, you can change the alpha. That's part of the texture, remember.

You just can't change the model to remove team-colored parts. So alphaing doesn't work on all models.

(USER WAS REP'd FOR THIS POST)

 

[Dionesiist]

Meh, I'm getting dusty... Haven't textured for a loooong time now.

No comment.

 

[Technomancer]

Don't ask me where I'm going with this, I don't quite know yet.

 

[FrIkY]

What's that Orc supposed to be... ?

 

[viiva]

No comment.

why no :'(

 

[THE_END]

AR, that is wicked, I never had enough patience with that damn wrap to do anything
Everyone else, looking good, bananna, unwrap?

 

[Hawkwing]

Alright. I've made some progress. I got a good idea coming along and a ton of motivation, so this shouldn't take too long to make.

All I've done as of yet, however, is the upper part of the head. Tonight, I'll probably finish the jaw and hair.

 

[THE_END]

I'm liking it Hawk...very nice

 

[Hawkwing]

Thanks. I'm done the jaw and I've started the hair, but it looks pretty bad. I might change it from fins, like the siren has, to snakes. However, I want some opinions before I do this. I have other things I can work on until the decision is final. Though I think it's obvious what everyone will think after seeing this preview.

 

[A.R.]

Yeah, definitely snakes, you could work them into the areas of the hair at the front there nicely. Fins just don't cut it for the hair on that model, it's just too chunky.

Also, you *have* to make the wolf a snap dragon

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, then it's unanimous.

Also, you *have* to make the wolf a snap dragon

That was the plan.

 

[viiva]

what program do you use to view this skin Hawking and AR?
Every time i want to check my skin i need to save it, convert, all that shit then import and restart WE..

 

[graystuff111]

wc3 viewer works pretty good
crap, never really textured before

 

[Just_Spectating]

looks like an alien in a yellow space helmet rather than a naga.

I forgot i don't have photo shop on my computer any more cause i had to reboot the whole thing cause of a virus.

 

[A.R.]

I use Mago's Model Editor for viewing files, also lets you manipulate materials, emitters and a whole bunch of other things.

 

[Dionesiist]

Nothing impressive, I know.

 

[Just_Spectating]

aw man that was sorta my idea.

But i cant even do it till i get photoshop rofl

 

[Pharaoh_]

Is that a mulroc for the jaw?
I like it, it can be very good, but that nose is too troll-ish. Try making it like a crab's claw!

 

[Dionesiist]

Omnomnom

 

[Just_Spectating]

whats the orange?

 

[Dionesiist]

Another sea creature assimilated into him. I think they're called clown fish or something.

 

[Technomancer]

Nothing quite like having a skull and jaw for your pelvis. Looks cool though. I've never skinned the bat troll rider, so I'm not sure how shocking the wrap is to work with, but it could use, in my opinion, a bit of a rejig around the eyes. But yeah, up to you. Feel free to ignore me.

 

[FrIkY]

Okay... this is just getting weirder and weirder... just rename the theme to: "Mutant".
