Texturing Contest #13 - Naga

lol nice skins

 

[ike_ike]

STARWARS6663wmqo-2ooSFVS, please stop making obvious posts. Really.

Also ... anyone remember the Kobold Kook? No one? ... good.

His hydrophobic cousin, the Kobold Kuttlefish has emerged from the murky depths of mine backyard pond.

Armed with a deadly fin trident, fin tail, fin ears and other thing-things, he does ... stuff.

 

[frostwhisper]

Face is bloooorey.

 

[ike_ike]

Yup. The wrap is bizzare. His eyebrows are hiding in his abdomen and the portrait uses a different wrap ._.

 

[Just_Spectating]

I got the stomach scales how I want them. There is still more for me to do there but I have started to focus more on the head. I am dreading having to skin that. The horns, arms, shoulder, and forehead are all part of the texture for the head. Not to mention the damn portrait which is one of those that is shaped entirely differently and uses different textures. Good news is that once I finnish the head... I am finnished

@Just_Spectating: It looks like it could get a bit cluttered. Try to keep a consistent theme and color scheme for the armor, weapon, and shield.

O.O my first critique!!!

anyway, i thought so too, so ill change the chest. i dint think it fit too much anyway

 

[THE_END]

Any more WIPs anyone? Time's a tickin

 

[Just_Spectating]

we got liek a week left, and it's been a busy week.

It is getting closed to being finnished. I have done more work on the face, wings, and back fins. I tried out TC but it didn't look very good so I have decided to exclude it. Problem is that there aren't many good places for me to put it. Just a pair of horns on that back which look weird alone.

 

[Hawkwing]

I love the face.

 

[Denu]

Until you see the portrait

I am trying to work with it but it isn't looking too hot right now.

 

[THE_END]

It's looking awesome Denu, simply awesome

 

[67chrome]

Until you see the portrait

I am trying to work with it but it isn't looking too hot right now.

I was originally going to do the frost wyrm, but the portrait totally killed my idea. Addmitadly, it looked noware near as cool as yours, but I feel your pain.

we got liek a week left, and it's been a busy week.

seriously, it's finals week for me; even with 4 art classes and english it's still been very busy.

@ Just_Spectating: You should add more shading on the bottom of the spellbreaker's dress so you can give the illusion that it is kind of a tail rather than a dress, or you could make it look like it continues through the ground/water like he's halfway submerged or burrowed. right now it looks like a dress made out of scales :/
belley scales on the front of it would look cool to. You should also change the bit on the arm were his scales are overlaping the armor portion - add a spike/spikes there or a shoulderpad, his flesh shouldn't hang over his armor

@ ike_ike: Looks cool. You should make the trident look more metalic, the myrmidons cary a golden one rather than one made up of fins anyways.

@ DivineArmy: I agree with Denu. Coral giant would be interesting, if you want to keep the sand them you should stick a bunch of stuff on him, starfish and seaweed bikini would look awsome XD
As far as nagaishness goes just about everything in the sunken ruins tilest is in the naga raids in wow, sea turtles, makrura, crabs, sea giants, murlocks, hydra - the list goes on. Ruins giant would actually be pretty cool, you make him look like hes made from the temple walls or something.


Anyways, thought I'd make this post count. Here's what I'm submiting ---\/

 

[Just_Spectating]

nice one.

 

[frostwhisper]

Seriously awesome.

 

[HyperActive]

Looking good Chrome.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Wow, that really looks like something I could use in a Naga race; fits alongside the Couatl, and a skin, of all things, for the Wyvern Rider?

Props, man.

 

[THE_END]

Chrome...that is FUCKIN SICK
I think you and Denu are fighting for my vote right now
...and A.R

 

[Denu]

Wip #19

Getting very close to being finnished. I have reworked the face as best I can for the portrait. The scales on the face are too small and I will have to change them. I hope to be finnished with the face today. That would leave me with a few minor things and then cleaning up. I am quite anxious to get this thing done.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeahh its liek a gyarados (is that how u spell it?) with wings

 

[A.R.]

Got it done, yay!

 

[Technomancer]

Well, it came out pretty poor, I have to say, but at least it's done... I guess.

Naga Behemoth. Carrying some kind of shell casing which it uses to carry it's spawn, everywhere.

This thing is a bitch to texture.

NOTE: I'm not sure if this will be the case for everybody, but for me, getting the skin to show up in-game required exporting the model and portrait from the MPQ and then reimporting them UNEDITED into the map. Perhaps it's an issue with the patch file overriding paths? I'm not sure.

 

[Denu]

Nazjatar Leviathan

Here is my entry. Catchin it kinda close

 

[Azeroc]

[Just_Spectating]

[THE_END]

Naw
EVERYONE WHO SUBMITS BY 11 TONIGHT WILL BE IN

 

[Just_Spectating]

gawd, im so damn busy!!!

 

[67chrome]

@ AR - looks pretty cool, in-game portrait turned out very nice. Not sure if I really like the team color though, maybe you should change it to look more like the runes on the massive ruined gate or the ruins library shelf from the sunken ruins tileset

@ Technomancer: That could probably use a little more shading, right now it looks a little flat. Fins on the mouth is an interesting idea, I'd change the fins on the side of the barge to have at least one more section of webbing/ maybe add another vein to break it into two sections there and adjust the alpha channels accordingly. As for running into importing skin trouble I haven't run into the problem you have for getting a skin to work :/

@ Denu: Blue teeth horns and claws? Come on! Make those a different color (white, tan, black, yellow - something). Looks unfinished without that touch
Now to minor issues - If you could make the legs blend in with the body a little better rather than having the belly scales show above were they attach to it that would be a nice touch, though I'm not sure whether or not the wrap would allow you to do this :/
A small touch of blue were the webbing on his back joins would be nice to, just so the webbing on each side looks more like it is coming out of his back rather than merging with the webbing on the opposite side - you could accomplish this by shading it down to black at the point were it joins the back as well
The inside of his mouth on the full-body model is the same color as his fins - u should change that to some other color - anyways, main thing is give the horns/claws/teeth some color, other than that it's just fine tuning.

Good luck everyone

 

[Denu]

Horns use the same texture as the wings and the claws so I cant change one without changing the other. Making the teeth a different color would just point out how shitty they wrap. I will make the legs attatch better. I kinda just pretended they didn't exist. It was all very rushed but since there is a little bit more time I am trying to fine tune. I am mostly dealing with the face. That is my biggest issue.

 

[Avator]

Naw
