[CombatTheWombat]

I haven't thrown up a WIP since I showed the face of mine. But I am still working on it, progress is coming slow and steady. I will put up another WIP when I have a little more to show.

[bigapple90]

Ok im probably way out of my league here but i guess it cant hurt to improve skinning skills ;p.
Im working on a robotic frost wyrm atm.

Messy but i shall learn o)

 

[Mr.Goblin]

WOOT!, epic concept you got there, but yes, you should still improve the skin if possible

That looks pretty epic so far, can't really go wrong with that model choice either

 

[bigapple90]

thanks
Ive worked on the skin more and decided to alpha the spinal fin things.

I think he looks much better without it. Almost like a different model.
I shall call him... Mini-me.... (Nightwing)
More editing to come

Looks great, but there's barely enough definition. In-game it will probably look like a black blob. I suggest you add more contrast.

 

[bigapple90]

it does. but im no where near done

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

something more substantial
a turskarr turned into a mutant thingy
dont really know what you would call it
i just need to do a bit more then i am done
hurray for coffee-rush

[darkdeathknight]

Hello everyone. I've been away for a long time since i don't have a proper comp. I still don't have one.
Anyway this is my epic skin. This will probably blow your minds out.

Ok. Maybe it won't blow your brains out. Bare in mind that i don't have WCIII on this comp so i cant do anything else other than simple skins like sammycube.
I know i won't win but i just made this for fun.

[XS-Archangel]

it's better to make All-Spark out of it instead of that

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

he thought the allspark will be bit too ambiguous

 

[bigapple90]

Edit: nvm fixed

a lil messy

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

which part exactly?
please dont tell me the whole thing :O

 

[Panda]

Looks nice Big

 

[anarchianbedlam]

darkdeathnight, lol awesome skin, id vote for that, but its pixelated, try smoothing it a bit, like drawing it in a larger format and resizing it in paint.net or photoshop or gimp or something with an antialiasing filter on it's scaling. Bigapple, i love the concept of that one i mean... deathwing isn't a robot but i like the robotdragon concept, the wings are kind of an odd shape, but otherwise good job

 

[Dentothor]

very nice Apple!

 

[A.R.]

I'm seeing some good work here, people

PH: great concept, but the colours look random and chaotic. The yellow on the belly is a big detractor. It took me a moment to find the face in there as all the surrounding elements are competing for attention. You could probably tone down the red on the tusks and try unify it more as a helmet. It's got too many bright, saturated, unrelated colours all fighting for attention. I'd recommend you pick either the red or the green for the glowy bits rather than having them both in there.

Hmm, I might have to take it up a notch >

 

[anarchianbedlam]

lol ghost in shell?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

YIPI! A.R is back..

you only show yourself for competitions don't you :3 <3

 

[darkdeathknight]

I smoothed out my lines for my companion cube.

It looks a bit blurry but i can't really smooth it out well on a 64x64 image. That's the most i can smooth it out before it just looks like a blob.

[Deolrin]

Awesome! What model is it for?

 

[Fimbus]

It's for that Sammy box thingie

 

[Palaslayer]

i love you
ok i changed up the skin a bit; removed massive team glow and brought the wings back along with some color shifts

I will put the files together later on.

You can always make the skin bigger than 64x64 and it will still work. I'd recommend going up to at least 128x128

That's pretty hot AR

 

[darkdeathknight]

Cool. I never knew that. Is there something between 64x64 and 128x128 because 128 seems a bit big.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

whole number multiples of 64 are better than fractions. 128 wouldn't be that bad for better quality. But if you like you can try 96 (64+32 for a multiple of 1.5)

 

[darkdeathknight]

Thanks

replace Units\Creeps\tuskar\Tuskarr.blp

never knew how well the tuskar skin was made. so much easier than bloody felhound :\

 

[A.R.]

lol ghost in shell?

Yesssss! Hence the Fuchikoma skin I started with (Fuchikoma were present in the manga as well as the original PS game. They were replaced by Tachikoma in SAC due to copyright issues).

YIPI! A.R is back..

you only show yourself for competitions don't you :3 <3

xD I am a shy and reclusive creature, rarely seen in the wild

Anywho, quick update on my skin:

[Kwaliti]

Some more minor body tweaks:

Click

I only need to do the weapon now.

 

[Deolrin]

l0w, that's some amazing shit you got there. I only just don't really like the orange cables, they stand out too much compared to the rest of the body since they are so low-res.

 

[TurtleRacingCar]

Pyramidhe@d ahahaha you made a helmet out of the usual face EPIC!
AR just great
l0w_kwaliti you may need some more reflections/highlights on the armor,it looks very nice so far.

 

[Dionesiist]

Ugh, getting those lips right was a total nightmare... As you might've guessed by now, I'm building the idea as I go ~_~

 

[Deolrin]

Cool, what model is that?

 

[Dionesiist]

Dryad

 

[Kwaliti]

l0w, that's some amazing shit you got there. I only just don't really like the orange cables, they stand out too much compared to the rest of the body since they are so low-res.

That's copper wiring. I'll try and make it darker and/or less saturated.

@TurtleRacingCar: Well, it's basically some white metal, so I really see no need for reflections. Thanks for noting anyway

@Dio: Shit, a dryad skin?! Nobody made one in centuries!

 

[XS-Archangel]

I made one and that was a failure xD
A.R. if you give her a white hair and a little bit darker face she'll become a Storm from X-Men

 

[Dionesiist]

I think I know why, Archangel.

 

[Dentothor]

Is their any way i could improve on the narcainian Assasin? i feel like it needs a bit more of somthing.

 

[A.R.]

Ugh, getting those lips right was a total nightmare...

Just wait 'til you get to the chest. The Dryad is a depressing model to skin :<

@Dentothor: The lighting is a bit flat; if it's meant to be shiny and metallic, it needs more strong sharp highlights to really define it. The texture is also a bit monochromatic. Avoid using unsaturated black and white combinations in WC3 because they really stand out next to the other, more colourful textures.

 

[Dentothor]

its bug-ish skin. thats what i intended it to be.
but what do you think i should do about the colour?

 

[A.R.]

Even bug-ish skin tends to be chitinous and shiny, gettyimages is a good source for references

About the colour, at the very least you need to break it up a bit more. Maybe find edges of armor plates that you can put lining on. You could define the metallic areas from the chitinous areas through colour as at the moment, the only difference is in the visual texture of the different areas, which is going to get lost ingame. There's not much you can do about the unsaturated black and white at this point without redoing much of the skin - it's something to remember for the future. You can, however, in Photoshop create a new layer above the texture, set the blending mode to 'color' and paint over the texture. It's not perfect use of colour, but it can give some nice results

You've got the glowyhax red-orange for the eyes (which are great btw) and the sword. You could try work that into the hooves, horns, wrist spines and the tail; that'd help liven it up a bit

 

[XS-Archangel]

I think I know why, Archangel.

Chest is same as back, hair is same as leaves on her bore...
