Texturing Contest #13 - Naga

[A.R.]

Dammit Dio, still with the pink backgrounds!
Good job skinning the batrider though, I'm expecting great things :3

 

[Dionesiist]

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

But it's a mutant naga!

 

[Technomancer]

Okay, so I've changed models, in theory. Though I might keep with the kodo if I can't resolve this problem..

This problem being, I can't seem to get a custom texture to apply on the Undead Sky Barge. Does anybody have any ideas? I checked the paths from the model file, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Any swift assistance would be exceedingly helpful. Thanks.

War3x.mpq > Units > Undead > UndeadAirBarge > UndeadAirBarge.blp (it's the last one in War3x.mpq)

 

[Technomancer]

Yeah, I'm using that path. It doesn't work.

EDIT:
Okay, this is aggravating. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the latest patch or god knows what, but I may need to get some confirmation from a judge.

At least for me, I need to re-import the UNEDITED Sky Barge model from the War3x mpq into my map to get the skin changes to show up. I'm not sure if it works for other people or not normally, however. Would this be breaking the rules? Technically there is no model editing involved, but it does require an importing of a model to work.

Could somebody please try and import just this attached skin into a map with the path "Units\Undead\UndeadAirBarge\UndeadAirBarge.blp" and let me know if it shows up in game?

 

[THE_END]

Dio it's looking sweet, I can't wait to see the finished product

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Dio, looking sexy there D:

 

[falferi]

My early funny WIP

 

[Hawkwing]

Omnomnom

Looks nice, but I don't really like the jaw.

 

[viiva]

I have a new idea yay

 

[D a w n]

I have a new idea yay

I like your current idea ^_^

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I am pretty sure that I am going to use the Demoness model.

 

[viiva]

^ i thought about this also, she has nice wings to use for fishflaps

Better than the gargoyle? (ofc i will change the face durrr )

Blah no i need a better idea to top Dio Batrider is like perfect, even with cool movement as a speedy fish
but still my brain is working

 

[D a w n]

the burning head does not fit that well

 

[Just_Spectating]

like he said he will change the head.

 

[D a w n]

but he cannot remove the green fire particles D:

 

[Just_Spectating]

couldn't he change the texture of the fire as well?

 

[Dionesiist]

The texture of the fire is grey if I remember correctly.
EDIT: Changed the orange jaw since it was totally out of place and started work on the third head. (Yeah, troll's, the crotch-skull and now this) It's supposed to be a mix between an Angler Fish and a Lionfish. Not really obvious.

 

[D a w n]

yes and it gets it color by tinting which would end into a model edit :>

 

[Pyritie]

yes and it gets it color by tinting which would end into a model edit :>

Not if you alpha the particle texture. c:

 

[D a w n]

you won Pyritie :/

 

[Just_Spectating]

`u` anyway, i like your idea about the angler, but wouldnt the jaw be bigger then?\

bigger underbite and it would look cooler

 

[ike_ike]

Dio, looks hawwwwt. Although the face still looks a bit like a mess.
Banana, love the starfish.
Hawkwing, I forgot what my comment was going to be, but it looks alright thus far.
A.R., I love you.

Offtopic: So anyway, I thought I'd spend a few days of the Easter holidays to work on my idea. It turns out my parents are dragging me off to Queensland for a week. ... Sheeeet. Also, I'm going to skin two models just for kicks.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Edit = Hello there.. here's my ''NEW'' concept

 

[Just_Spectating]

its like the successor to Callahan's Lizard man

 

[ike_ike]

I wanna do a crow form version of this guy as well ._.

Um. Roughly 60-70% CnP, a little dodge and burn on the face, a load of hue + saturation adjustment.

 

[Gilles]

He and Davy Jones could have some hot make out sessions.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Amen...

---

Simple wip.. the top of the face is done.. (i think)

 

[Just_Spectating]

it'd be awesome if it didnt have legs.

 

[A.R.]

Mr.Goblin, looking good there, my only concern is that the scales might be too small for ingame stuff. Unwirklich did something similar a while back. Check it out, see if it inspires you or something

 

[Agrias]

I'm definitely in. I promised to Skin Morgana but a Naga Succubus is awesome too . (lol. I think I quit the other contests xD)

Everyone's skins are looking awesome, I'll have teh WIP up soon.


[edit; My WIP]

 

[Dionesiist]

Mostly finished, am open for crits/suggestions that will grant me moar votes.

 

[NiRVaNa_87]

No wind serpent wings? That´s nonsense!

The wings do need some work, they look really square-ish, and probably needs to be bigger, since I don´t know how in hell those small wings can lift that thing. But looking good there, I really like how it turned out. That skull looks sweet.

 

[Dionesiist]

But I like his fingery appendages :'<
(Joking, I knew that'd be the first thing criticised. Will either extend the membrane or simply re-design them to something more original. Flipper-wings anyone?)

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think to make it look more Fishy, you should move the eyes more to the sides.

 

[NiRVaNa_87]

But imo the wings could be more original, instead of naga-colored bat wings. They are not bad, You just need to extend the membrane like you said, but you could do something cooler I´d like to see how the flippers look.

The eyes are fine

 

[Hawkwing]

Mostly finished, am open for crits/suggestions that will grant me moar votes.

I dislike how strong of a green the highlights are.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Damnit Agrias, you stole my model. Oh well, I haven't done much yet. I don't know if I am going to be able to finish anything anyways. It seems like every time a contest comes around all my time gets sucked up.

 

[THE_END]

Dio.....just let me know what the skin is supposed to be. I mean yes I know he's on a flying thing..but what is the rider

 

[Xatoga]

Yeah, I'd suggest making the rider into a naga, more or less. You could right him off as a less-mutant naga to explain the nose and such, but I don't really like the lumped together look he has currently.

 

[Agrias]

;p


Well, I also had an idea for the demon hunter whereas he'd have a seastar/seaweed head bandage and have some fin like hair and convert those TC straps he has into fins and even some random coral blade.


If you want, you can take this idea or I'll switch to it but I didn't think I would transfer it from my mind to the computer very well ;p.


I'll have a WIP up soon. I'll be in LA on Tuesday till Sunday so I won't have access to the internetz. I'm playing to make a ton of skins while I'm gone xD.


GL everyone!

 

[Technomancer]

WiP Sky Barge texture.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hell yeah!

 

[Just_Spectating]

thats a pretty nice idea!

 

[Dionesiist]

This is turning into a "Skin the most horrendous and unloved models" contest.
Here's my attempt at naga-fying the troll.
@The_End: It's supposed to be a two-headed naga. Basically, he has a head at the bottom (Troll's) and the front head (Fish thing's) Plus 4 limbs, 2 arms and 2 wings/flippers which I still need to do.
EDIT: I tend to actually like the inverted wings, but they're a no no.

 

[frostwhisper]

Have you tried alphaing out that nose ring?

 

[Dionesiist]

Yes, it's white.

 

[viiva]

The Sky Barge is pretty wicked actually, like a giant leviathan!
And Dio i love your skin, only the fish head not so much

i have another idea again

 

[Dionesiist]

The model's jaw is far too small to add bigger lower teeth (If you're the one who suggested a bigger underbite) but what exactly do you find unfit about it?
Technomancer, you might want to add some scales, seeing how his forehead is such a big surface. It's not really hard, just a rhombus pattern with bright highlights on the edges (either like I did them on the troll or you could reference from the naga skins in-game) Otherwise, thumbs up for managing such a shitty wrap.

EDIT: Just tint brown and you have yourself a perfect Zerg.

 

[frostwhisper]

Yes, it's white.

Transparency 0.01% takes care of that.
