[Mulgrim]

aw i got my hopes up AND EVERYTHING

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

umm i thought you couldnt host and judge at the same time.
good thing you guys changed the theme cos the last one was getting ridiculous.
omg the colour clashes of neon and other bright colours....

 

[Traxamillion]

Hey what-do-you-know a non-fail theme.

 

[Dentothor]

umm i thought you couldnt host and judge at the same time.

chrome did it in the last one. and i was unsure of if he was judging or not. Ive got other skins to worry about so i put my name in the box.

 

[Pyritie]

umm i thought you couldnt host and judge at the same time.

Yeah you can do that

 

[darkdeathknight]

WTF changed again.
When you mean by nature do you mean Night elf?

 

[Hawkwing]

umm i thought you couldnt host and judge at the same time.

You just can't participate while hosting or judging, because that would allow said person to give his or her own entry a higher rating.

WTF changed again.
When you mean by nature do you mean Night elf?

Nature = Trees, Grass, Plants, blah, blah, happy normal not man-made stuff.

 

[RED BARON]

[RED BARON]

Strictly speaking, humans would also be nature.. as we and all animals are also a part of it.. But whatever.. rocks for the win..

Nice list btw.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

ok... so anything NOT man made is natural. is that better?

 

[Hawkwing]

Who'd like to do the honours of tearing my eye balls out with an ice cream scooper?

ok... so anything NOT man made is natural. is that better?

Whatever gets this contest rollling. -.-'

 

[RoboHippo]

[zadelim]

Name: Wood Elf Warden
Races: Elf (Wood)
Model: Succubus/Overqueen

 

[Just_Spectating]

nice model choice.

 

[zadelim]

nice model choice.

lol

 

[NiRVaNa_87]

Ok, luckily I got some cool idea for this contest, so I might join this one. I´m guessing lava stuff are accepted as nature, right? I would like to hear this from a judge, not from a random user´s list, no offence just_spectating, but I´d like to make sure your post is accurate.

EDIT: @zadelim: concept looks ok, good luck with that model

 

[bigapple90]

isn't a fetus man-made

 

[Kazzo]

Well i'm in and i present my texture is a wip i'm working on this i think this contest is a great oportunity to improve my skills

yes i belive lava is a part of nature. so i will accept it

 

[darkdeathknight]

Nature is everything not man made I guess.
Would Adam be Nature?
Not this one

 

[Jacky The turtle]

Count me in a i have a aswome idea

 

[MetalThing]

Go draw elfes!!one11! [/sarcasm]

Ill give it a shot too. (Just gotta learn to draw first xD)

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

sigh. guess i'll join as well. need some practice anyhows

 

[X-OMG-X]

Well. Count me in too. Then i'll see how the heck i can complete (win ) two contests at same time.

 

[Kazzo]

New update i will work moar on this skin

 

[Red]

I'll join this... Here's what I've got so far. WIP!

I call him the cursed trespasser. Maybe he was chopping down a tree? Or pissing in the bushes? Either way, the forest spirits cursed him to an eternity as their overgrown minion. I'm expecting piles upon piles of night elf style in this contest so I think I'll shake things up a little with a little darker-styled skin. His arms will hopefully look like roots and his feet will look like uprooted stumps by the time he's done...hopefully.

Based on the Unbroken if you couldn't tell... Red on the shoulders in the right side pic is team color. Again, WIP!

 

[X-OMG-X]

@Red Shift: Its looks brilliant!

@Everyone: Very early wip.

 

[M0rbid]

I'm hopefully on it to use it as a practice, if the time allows me to do so.

 

[THE_END]

Red, that skin is amazing, let's see that get finished plz, k thanks
Everyone else, looking good so far, if I get the time I might hop in this..

 

[Traxamillion]

Red, its amazing what you've done with the face tentacles, i love it.

 

[antihero]

Great theme Red, the only suggestions I would make is to make the colors more vibrant for wc3 style. Wonderful start though.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I might give it a try.. but as always.. I might never finish the skin

 

[Dentothor]

omg red that is kickass. i love it when the new guys totally baffle us with new and creative stuff :3.
and to everyone else, keep i up!

 

[Red]

Thanks for the feedback guys :]
@Antihero: Thanks for the advice, I didn't notice how dark it was until I put it next to normal wc3 units lol

 

[zadelim]

It was nice skin, Red Shift! I like your skin!!
You are my greatly opponent from this contest!!! I hope you doing nice in your skin!!
My skin need too much of work to do! I also want to keep it up!!

 

[antihero]

Wonder if I'll actually have the time to do this.
Probably go with the furion model
