Texturing Contest #13 - Naga

[FrIkY]

Moar wip. I started with legs, and scales... needs more work.

 

[viiva]

You could make the things on top like bones sticking out/open skeleton
but for the package i dont know.. maybe his heart hanging out or a bait like an angler fish?

 

[FrIkY]

New wip, a little bit of armor.

 

[ShiroiSenji]

Damn are you going to release that one on public friky?
I could rly use it :/

Also, who ever is making that lobster i think it should be 100% lobster :/

 

[Dionesiist]

The rules of the contest state he has to submit the texture file. Srsly.

 

[FrIkY]

Moar wip.

 

[Linaze]

Looks good to me FrIkY, keep it up.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Looks like a snake to me, but it's looking good, FrIkY

 

[Technomancer]

Try doing the highlights on the leg scales in the other direction, just to see what it looks like. It would make more sense, at least to me. Your skin though, so do what you want with it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

why is everyone so good at scales? they seem hard.

 

[HappyTauren]

Not hard, just way tiresome.

 

[Grog50]

Technomancer, I LOVE what you are doing with the blimp. Most creative skin ive seen in years.

 

[Draknyte1]

id join but MY pc is dead......

 

[Mr.Goblin]

why is everyone so good at scales? they seem hard.

because.... WE!!! are special :3

 

[Draknyte1]

scales are hard?
never tried...

 

[Kyrbi0]

I wonder why everyone is doing the same color scheme (for fins and skin) as the Naga Siren... There's, like, at least 2-5 other options for color, as well as mix-and-match...

Behemoth = win. Lawl, that's a funny idea, though.

 

[Draknyte1]

pink and blue naga?

probaly not......

 

[67chrome]

If your doing scales for the first time it make take a few tries to get the technique down. Then their just tedious really

 

[FrIkY]

WIP: claws and new leg armor.

 

[HappyTauren]

Friky, that texture looks like it's 2D, look for werewulf's scale tutorial, it should explain some things about proportions and shit.

 

[Dionesiist]

Where's your entry, HT? >

 

[Revolve]

FrIKY i love that skin of yours, looks awesome :3
------ love the Behemoth thingy, best idea ever
And Dio, yours is awesome x)

I just lova ya GL & HF to all of the contestors

 

[viiva]

most like i will get rid of the bracer

 

[ike_ike]

FLYING FISH!

It's om nom noming his head. The original idea was for a massive carp to be on his back and he'd transform into a flying fish monster, but I officially loathe this wrap.

...

...

Those scales look like fishnet stockings. Nanananana

Banana, I love you.

 

[FrIkY]

Armored claws or empty claws?

 

[Nightwish.ger]

without armory, looks much better.

 

[Dionesiist]

It's looking a bit too dragon/thunder lizard-ish than naga-ish.

 

[FrIkY]

I need help with Team Color, can someone teach me how to shade it? (or show me a tutorial, if there is any)

It's looking a bit too dragon/thunder lizard-ish than naga-ish.

What exactly makes him that way, is it the green color or is it the way I made scales? Or something else?

 

[Linaze]

To shade tc, isn't it just to use a lighter/darker gray on the alpha channel instead of just using a single color?

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

wow, FrIkY it's awesome! keep it up
btw
what's with maghar orcs? i am using them for my camapaign and i need more mag'har orc skins xPpP

I already tried that before, didn't work. I think it's something with layers, which I don't know how to use, yet.

Thanks! Well, I don't have time for Mag'hars right now, but I'll try to finish the pack during summer.

 

[Linaze]

Then use "alpha" with a perhaps 60% opacity on a place which is already textured. Like don't do "alpha" on a totally black spot.

 

[Dionesiist]

Use a low opacity black brush where you want shading.

 

[Linaze]

Yes, that's what I meant.
Test with different opacity's until you find one that looks good.

 

[FrIkY]

Oh, I found it! At the Layers Menu and it's called "Enter/Exit Mask Mode for editing static selection, object mask or layer mask". It works well, and it's awesome, thanks for help! ^^

EDIT: Here it is! Hmm, but now that I know how to shade TC, maybe I could do something more... "exotic"! >

Big picture, omg

It really is TC, don't think I just painted it red

 

[PrinceOfThaWest]

your skin is so so so great now FrIkY
but i think it would be cooler if that green is more blue anyway your skin is great, it's ok for mag'hars i will use what i have then lol xPP

 

[FrIkY]

Is this better (the TC)? Oh, and I made his back (not so good).

 

[Linaze]

Previous tc was better imo. This one looks to shiny.

 

[errorz]

FrIkY You forgot 1 thing :
HE HAS NO HEAD!XD lolz

 

[FrIkY]

WIP, as showed ingame. Portrait seems to be weird...

It's a WIP (Work in Progress)... maybe you forgot your head.

 

[Revolve]

Lol.
About the back... I have an idea in mind hehe, or a suggestion.. ehh
Well instead of having it all armored, use the scales and some wires... belts... hmm my english sux xD Well like the front of Grom Hellscream model, he has a cross with belts that hold the armor together ^^

 

[67chrome]

What exactly makes him that way, is it the green color or is it the way I made scales? Or something else?

I think it's the saturation level of the green. It looks about the same intensity of the thunder lizards, which arn't bright green but a more dusty green. I looked at the naga royal guard's skin and its a bit brighter, and a tiny bit more teal than a solid green. Adjusting the saturation and hue levels a little (like 5-10%) for saturation should do the trick. If you want to make it a little more teal thats up to you, but again it would be a subtle change and nothing major.

 

[Agrias]

This is probably my last succubus WIP but not my last entry for this contest. I've got some more time now that I'm back so we'll see what I can do...

Everyone's skins are looooking great. Which makes my skin look. . . . .


[Edit: Like I said, not my last entry . We'll see which one is my final one xD. I noticed after making this skin that Ike changed his tentacle druid to a druid with a fin beard... Sigh.]

 

[Misha]

WIP, as showed ingame. Portrait seems to be weird...

Lol FrIkY his head looks like something from transformers

lol and i share Chrome's opinion on the skin tint.. you should go for a bit more teal. and also his bare hands looked better =?

yeah... overal in less armor, if you want

 

[67chrome]

Here's what I've got so far, probably about 66% of the way there...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Too purple. More blue/teal/gold/other naga colors.

 

[Misha]

i don't see anything wrong in a purple naga, Will

 

[Denu]

Frost Wyrm or Dragonspawn

I am undecided here... Frost Wyrm I think would be fun cause of the fins and all (also maybe easier) and after taking a second look at the Dragonspawn I am thinking it might turn out cool. Which should I pick?

Btw most of that is hurried CnP of what I allready have done.

 

[Hawkwing]

I personally like the Dragonspawn.

 

[THE_END]

No DEF Frost Wyrm, the crazyness with the alpha is NEEDED. Name the skin Alpha Naga or something
