[Dentothor]

Darkholme that sucks big time.

@J_S
u dont have one cuz ur not awesome enough!

 

[zadelim]

Dentothor! I have a request.
I want change the current skins unit to another units. I want forfeit that Wood Elf Warden. Can accept this request?

 

[thisruoy]

Another WIP
Caveman has a bone thing, but its not showing up great

 

[Just_Spectating]

hah, are you going to make the gold bag into some venison?

 

[zadelim]

Im just doing it. Still WIP. Im using the Wood Elf Warden skin as template. They almost the same. I remaking the skin right now.

 

[D a w n]

the warden looks much better

 

[Dentothor]

ok to anyone else who asks me if they can skin a different unit, it doesnt matter. as long as you hand in a complete skin that follows the rules, it will be fine. all you have to do us tell me which one you want entered.

 

[M0rbid]

I'll give it another try, other model and this time other idea, and I can't see anyone else, coming up with this idea right now, even if the faceless is already used, I hope this time I'll be more succesful.!

First Wip: Face nearly finished

Darkholme's Boreal Hound Next WIP

Here's my next WIP.

I like the wood now. It needs some minor wrap adjustments around the eyes.

Next is to make those leaves look better/redo them completely (though I like it better than my initial green mockup), and give a thin mane running all the way down the back, and maybe a small amount of moss around the face and on the feet.

Then: Teamcolor. No Idea where I would put (or want to put teamcolor)

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Then: Teamcolor. No Idea where I would put (or want to put teamcolor)

Maybe make few leaves teamcolored or add the cliché teamcolored bracers?
Some sort of teamcolored decoration on the leaves could work too.

 

[ike_ike]

Runes! Runes everywhere! If you're desperate you can whip out a few rocky bits Ancient style and stick the team colour there?

Also, I pray to God that you didn't do every single itty bitty pixel of that wood grain by hand.

 

[Dentothor]

only a week left you guys.

and a note to all, im not looking in the skin section for your final entries. post them here please.

 

[Darkholme]

Nope. didnt do the wood grain pixel by pixel. I used my photoshop-fu.

*Trick*: Make a rectangular panel with the texture you want.

use appropriate sized strips of said rectangular panel, and make copies, and use the warp and whatnot tools on them.I'll show the woodgrain separate just for anyone interested.

I threw together the woodgrain texture (which after making a small piece is largely c&p) and used the transform functions on copies of it and pieced it together.

Just in case anyone wanted to know.

 

[Dentothor]

ok here are the final entries that i have received so far.
if anyone is NOT on this list, you must post it here before the deadline.

[M0rbid]

Another WiP: Currently working on: adding highlights to the back, and adding more definition to the branchiaes (is that correct?) and to the seagrass. Then I'll have to do legs and arms and hopefully I finish it before deadline and can take this as my submission.

 

[zadelim]

My final submission!
This is the best I made it off!!

they all didnt have blp files attached (except for m0rbid, but i didnt count him as he is working on another).they need to have them. and the second faceless skin didnt have a WIP screenshot. it states in the rules that you must have at least one.

 

[thisruoy]

Done Caveman

 

[M0rbid]

Here's my final submission, I don't have any time anymore, so I won't be able to chance or improve it before deadline anymore, I think.
So, Dentothor, count this as my final submission, called "Deep Sea Sleeper":

"When Illidan and his Naga went up to Northrend they made contact with the Faceless race, after some battles, some Nagas took their victims, some of the Faceless with them into the deep sea, where they became one with the ocean itself and now protect the nature of the oceans. Many sailors tell nautical yarn about their suckers, that are able to stick to the ships of careless sailors, and about the weapons they still carry from their times as Faceless."

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Is it me, or the Faceless textures is just way to clean? Like the warp is perfect, it's like the only Model Blizzard made a good job about it.

Next time, I should give a try

 

[Pyritie]

Hopefully SC2 unwraps will be a lot better

 

[Dentothor]

no offence morbid but its relatively the same concept as the faceless one. and the yellow points (other than the face), looks to me like recolour. and it looks like you used a custom brush for the circles, along the body. it either that or you made one and CnPed it across the body. because they look so unattached it not even funny.

and the weapon, same problem. it looks so awful with no changes and those circles on it.

 

[zadelim]

He just doing some simple photoshop thingies and filters only. Nothing special about it. Just like custom brushing, cloud filter, recolors. Go see some tutorial from this forum. You should learn more make more like push harder yourself. If you think this as your final submission results, your skin will be disqualified by 70%. Still got 5 days, want improve just do it now. I'm scolding or insulting. Just give some opinions.

Mh, you're right, it's too close to the faceless one: let me say a few things: to the Balanidae (I don't know if that's the correct english term for it, so I'll use circles): I did them to 75 % freehand and a at some point Cnp, using Mr.Goblins tutorial as inspiration. It took to much time for the result, because, as you mention they just stick on the texture and doesn't seem to grow on the real body. Unfortunatly I have no clue and no time to change that.
But @zadelim: There are no filters in it, except from some colour changes, and I must admit, that the legs and parts of arms are only recoloured, but the rest is not. And no filter use there too.

dont falsely accuse anyone of stuff. it just makes you look that much more retarded when your wrong. and do not downrate it as such. giving nice suggestions helps this user improve saying "this is nothing special" or "actually try working hard" is useless to the veiwer and there fore makes it irrelivant.
so plz critique nicely.
