Texturing Contest #19 - Golem

[anarchianbedlam]

NOT troll?

That was never an option

Hehe, fun one, Denth.

Anyway, if anyone were confused or are in doubt - here's an excerpt from the rules to clarify:

The Golem can be decorated, armoured or detailed otherwise with any non-synthetic material (moss on rock, for instance).

That means that your golem should be built by one, or more, of the materials mentioned in the rules, but it can be partially covered in other materials (it should still be obvious what material it is made of). This rule was made specifically to make it easier for people to add variation to their works and work around certain problems with models. A golem can be armoured, it can have weaponry and it can be covered with runes and other designs.

I'll post a new WIP soon, I've been busy this weekend.

NOT troll?

On an on-topic note, I'm seriously waiting for shiiK's and Dionesiist's entries. Dio, by the way, do you have any news on that Draenei golem?

? wait, a draenei golem?

I think they understood that but i may have more influential power than i thought xD. So they took it like i was right

? wait, a draenei golem?

Yes and I'm guessing it's this, not sure however.
If I remember it right, Arcane Golems are guarding the main capital of the Draenei, Exodar, in World of Warcraft.

Edit
Sorry, gave it a quick search and found out that they are not guardians of Exodar, but are found in Silvermoon City and various of other places.

I scowl at you too. <3 You didnt finish anything either

 

[Deolrin]

THE_END, seriously, no. There was a real and serious misunderstanding about the contest's theme, and it had to be answered.

 

[THE_END]

OHHHH OK, but still...PMs are wonderful things. Anyways..I'm in school Den..don't you judge me!

 

[Ganondorf]

@both Dentothor and The_End: 'Twould be nice to see 2 masters of skinning do a skin for this contest...

 

[Dentothor]

i would, but ive got school and im far too lazy to work around that.

 

[THE_END]

I'm working on my own projects, and looking to finish them entirely first before embarking into contests again, mainly Cervantes is close to completion...

 

[Ganondorf]

For those who entered: Just finish your products before deadline.

Ok, so to make it official, This is my entry.

Entry

download here
The Rock Elder is known to be one of the wisest and oldest rock golems World wide. His knowledge of the world has it's roots in the oldest of WarCraft's wars, when he was still made of rocks. His old and breakable rocks make him weak in fighting, but his mental strength and intelligence have led a lot of other golems that were summoned by his master to victory. The wizard that summoned him has learned and studied the structure of the night elf Ancient of Lore.

Crop the preview so you only see the entry version. You can only enter one skin.

 

[-Grendel]

This is my entry for the contest:

"Souls of living things stored inside its body rarely maintain their past memories."

 

[Ganondorf]

I cut the preview. now that is my final submission.

 

[Ganondorf]

Umm... bump?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Not completely satisfied.. I had for one hoped to get rid of those flat pieces sticking out of the totems, but they can't be removed. The axe turned out rather lame and I'm not particularly happy with the totem either. Anyway, this'll be my final entry if I can't make some time to make another Golem before the deadline.

More previews

Attached skin in both .blp and .png format for viewing convenience.

 

[67chrome]

Looks pretty snazzy ^^

 

[Ganondorf]

Like you pointed out though, the axe is not that good, but great skin nonetheless.

 

[Dionesiist]

Why didn't you use any alpha whatsoever?

 

[BlackDoom]

I totally blew this one... Can't participate

 

[-Grendel]

the axe isn't that bad, i actually like it. the blood and all

 

[sPy]

My final entry.

Feltoise

Made up of rocks and green lava. The shells are team colored. I added light source at the bottom part to suit with Death/Death Swim anim.

Textures/DragonSeaTurtle.blp
Textures/GiantSeaTurtle.blp
Textures/SeaTurtle.blp

Actually, I'm pretty proud with this
Because this is the only texture that can successfully published

Edit: For some reason, the team colored part doesn't work on "Texture Quality = Low" Game Settings.

 

[indomitable1319]

Damn.
That looks so AWESOME.

 

[-Grendel]

cool, you finished it. looks great

 

[Blood Raven]

well, i have no more ideas and the time is short, so i think this is my final...

 

[D a w n]

you still have to attach the blp file ine your entry

 

[Blood Raven]

you still have to attach the blp file ine your entry

done

 

[A.R.]

Hay A.R., you getting any closer to pulling off that totally awesome idea you mentioned?

It wasn't as awesome as I'd thought it would be and something else devoured all my time

Some nice work here everyone, even if some of it is straying more into elemental and robot territory than strictly golem.

 

[M0rbid]

M0's entry

Changed my mind and did something for this contest. The result of a hard worked day this is.
I hope this counts as a golem, even though there is an additional human to it.
They are meant to be creator and golem, ready for battle, ready for the fight. Bring the heat of the lava golem with you, when you charge in the battle.
Created out of pure lava and rocks, this horse-like Golem's will burn down everything in there way, controlled by the magical scrolls of their rider, those golems act totally mindless and without any fear. The magical scrolls prevent the rider from being damaged by the lava aswell.

Enjoy

[Dentothor]

The person on top is clearly a living thing.

 

[indomitable1319]

The only 'Golem' part is the horse.
And I think that was his idea.
It's called a 'Rider', so it's just hitching a ride on the Golem.

 

[D a w n]

great idea M0rbid, but the golem bugs me. Looks quite boring/generic to me

 

[Dentothor]

clearly another one of my jokes was taken literally.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Speaking of horses, does the pack horse use the same skin for the horse? In which case the whole "dilemma" of there being a living rider would be gone simply by altering the path.

Anyhow, we need judges. :3

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The pack horse uses a different texture and has a similar wrap style as the knight's horse.

 

[Blood Raven]

when will the poll be ready?

 

[Dionesiist]

Are there even enough textures? :\

 

[Dentothor]

Ganondorf
sPy
waveseeker
Blood Raven
M0rbid

[-Grendel]

[Dentothor]

[Kazzo]

Well so is be any extension ?
Anyway i was working on a clockwerk troll (golden metallic)

If its powered by magic or fire isn't organic rigth?

 

[Dentothor]

i might just do a chain golem from the naga siren model. If theres an extension i suppose ill enter, if not, ill do it for kicks

 

[Blood Raven]

hmm, isn't the time over?

 

[Dentothor]

it depends if people want an extention

 

[Deolrin]

...

Didn't the rules change? Three entries = Contest over. Less than three entries = extension of a week.
Even with the extension it's been more than a week since the contest ended.
