[indomitable1319]

The Hell Heart went missing??!?!??!?!/!?!/!/!??!!1/!/!!!/!/1!!!one111/!?!1!!1onetwo1!1onetwo

 

[-Grendel]

yeah seems that i acccidentally deleted the file when i was deleting unused folders in my computer :/ and i also deleted some of my on progress models T_T

 

[indomitable1319]

Recycle Bin?

 

[-Grendel]

i already deleted it there. it was too late before i noticed

 

[indomitable1319]

I think there are programs to restore things like that.

 

[Ganondorf]

Ah fuck it, it's not like you put a whole month of work into it.... You didn't put a whole month of work into it, did you?

 

[-Grendel]

only made it in 2 days lol, that's why i'm not so satisfied in it

 

[Ganondorf]

Well, ok then...

 

[indomitable1319]

But it looked so EPIC.

 

[-Grendel]

i'll probably add more lava to it. fire/metal golem is my concept anyway

aaand i'll thing of something for those furry things

 

[Deolrin]

Lava would kinda ruin the concept in my opinion. And the furry things could be saw-blades.

 

[HyperActive]

I agree with Debode. Nice work so far.

 

[Dentothor]

I don't think a Rock Golem, for instance, would be considered a construct.

You must choose an organic unit and turn it into a Golem.

* The Golem must be made out of these materials: minerals, metals, processed wood (treants are not allowed) and/or clay (ceramics).
* The Golem can be decorated, armoured or detailed otherwise with any non-synthetic material (moss on rock, for instance).
* A Golem is a mindless being brought to life either by mechanical means (an automaton) or magical means (excluding undead).

Either way, we're using this definition and there's not going to be a change to it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem

There might be a few misconceptions on what a golem actually is.
What it says in a proper definition of "Golem" from Jewish folklore (golems actually being a fictional creation OF the jewish) Is that any inanimate object or collection of inanimate objects formed by magical or godlike means to become animate. Is says nothing about any kind of robotic golems, as they are (to put it simply) ROBOTS. So if thats all you want to see, by all means change the contest to robots. Because what your rules do is a narrow view of what a golem really is. Broaden the view and we get interesting entries. Limit it, and we get lame ones. (not directed at the entries from this contest itself)

 

[Ganondorf]

Do we need to talk about the theme anymore?

BTW My last WIP will be mine entry for this contest if I don't finish another texture in time.

We're using both the Jewish folklore definition and the definition that claims robots are golems as well. We're just limiting the materials used. Yes, it's narrower than it could've been, but I don't like too broad themes.
Either way, a tree is animate, Dent, and as such wouldn't be allowed either way - just saying.

MY ENTRY:

"An ancient armor used to store the souls of fallen soldiers from wars, these souls never maintain their past memories, thus, making it a destructive material for future wars"

not what I'm arguing about. I already said I'm not participating.
either way though, if you narrow the theme we get less of a skin to judge. If the theme is broad, There could be so many more creative opportunities at hand. And thats what i thought the contests were all about.

 

[chilla_killa]

I guess I won't participate, but I worked a little bit on a skin of the Hydra.
Unfortunately the wrap is a bit bad.
Here's my WIP.
I know I suck at texturing, but I want your opinion.

 

[Kazzo]

I think i'm not going in this time , good luck to everyone

Looks OK, I'd recommend doing something else with the frill though. You can check to see exactly were the frill is with the UV wrap compilation link in my signature. Maybe turn the frill into blades or something, with alpha channels the possibilities are broader than for the rest of the model anyways.

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

If we wanted broad contests, we'd just set a time window and ask everyone to make a skin before the deadline. The one with the most votes wins. It's too easy.

Who's A.R.?

BTW I won't be able to skin today anything, since I've got a big QUESTIONING (yes, we call it like that... It's like a test, but the teacher asks questions and you answer 'em. You don't know 1? You're fucked ^^).

 

[-Grendel]

A.R - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/a.r./
check out his skins at wc3c, check out his skins at wc3c, his works are top quality

AnemicRoyalty? Holy fuck, how can I ask such a stupid question. I knew A.R. was familiar... He's responsible for those UW's I downloaded ^^ Sometimes, without his UW wraps, I'd be lost...

 

[Kazzo]

Well this is a soonly wip i have toons of fix's and more work to do , but i see , mine "Golem" sucks at the moment

 

[Direfury]

Well, it's hard to tell exactly what you're going for here.

If it's made out of metal... I suggest working in 512x512 and adding in some bolts/rivets to some parts to show that feature.

 

[Kazzo]

Well the main idea comes from a picture i think was called , "blood forged golem" was a Red metallic golem , so i'm going a blood forged Clockwolf , and yep it was a pretty quick wip just applyng some colours and little details.

 

[Gausslander]

Wip #1

 

[Deolrin]

That's not a lot of freehanding on that sheep.

 

[Gausslander]

Freehanding a sheep is illegal where I come from.

...

BTW luv the new banner of the contest.

 

[-Grendel]

yo, any new wips everyone? :/

 

[Kazzo]

Well i remake the face , this nigth will start with the body

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[Deleted member 157129]

It looks a bit too fleshy at the moment, what's he made of, anyway?

 

[Kazzo]

Runic metal , need to give it a more metalic look at the red parts , any tip shiik ?

 

[D a w n]

I think the first problem is the model choice, because the wolf does not leave that much room for detail and for creativity

 

[HyperActive]

I can't believe that no one is doing the Pit Lord or the Crypt Lord.

Wip time

First WIP in the thread...

 

[Dentothor]

I can't believe that no one is doing the Pit Lord or the Crypt Lord.

Pit lord has been done

View attachment 96783

guess i am done.

and the crypt lord has a pain in the ass wrap. no one ever does it.

 

[Ganondorf]

Well, 'tis time someone to do it ^^
Ok guys, my new unit would be a metal or something else crypt lord.

 

[HyperActive]

Yeah sorry, didn't see that.

BTW, Pyramidhe@d, I find that Pit Lord, undefined and monotone. What I'm trying to say is that you should do his gloves, weapon and armor in a different way (or color) then everything else. Something like his beard would be nice. Just a thought.

 

[Ganondorf]

Oh God. I've started like 30 minutes ago working on it and It works great for me. This one's (For me) looking much more promising than my last one. Will upload a WIP once I've done the body.

EDIT: Ok, I can show the shell at least...

 

[Whisper]

all entrys are more like robot than golem imo ;p
I thought that i would see some cool units made of rock

 

[D a w n]

yeah...kinda uncreative the people nowadays :>

 

[Ganondorf]

*cough*Theme limitation*cough*

I made an Ancient of Lore Rock version, but wasn't 100% satisfied with it. Now doing a new one, the Plate crypt lord.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Gah. I wanted to use a style similar to this artwork on the Tree of Life, but the model's UV map and wrap are pummeling my sanity.

 

[Dentothor]

thats a crazy idea. a damn furnace. :O

yeah...kinda uncreative the people nowadays :>

Thats what i was trying to say a couple posts ago. But someone likes to be narrow minded in hosting contests >.<

 

[D a w n]

Gah. I wanted to use a style similar to this artwork on the Tree of Life, but the model's UV map and wrap are pummeling my sanity.

you could try PandarenBrewmaster instead, as he got the perfect body shape and you could go fukken creative with his barrel and staff

 

[Direfury]

Turn it into a giant bong.
