taz'dingoo!!

 

[GhostThruster]

a word of clarification: so 'race conversion' means i can skin a human or sumthing into a troll? also can i make up fictional troll types? eg) transform a forest troll into a 'dragon troll'?

 

[Heinvers]

I must think about this. Would be nice to make some progress in skinning Anyway could be interesting.

I forgot to edit that when I thought I'm wrong, that should be "Converting units from other races are allowed.".

 

[Kwaliti]

It's been clarified mostly in the submission thread, so basically you can use any model from the MPQs as a basis for a troll.

~Description clarified in first post

 

[Kyrbi0]

Awexome. Subscribing for great Trolls.

 

[A.R.]

Great Marley's Ghost!

 

[Chen]

There is one problem, there is no Warcraft 3 installed in this laptop so I can't take ingame screenies, so...can I get someone who will take screenshots for me?

 

[GhostThruster]

are space trolls allowed?

 

[Kwaliti]

If its a troll, it fits the theme - existing types of trolls, dead trolls, undead trolls, space trolls... Should resemble a troll though.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hmmm. trolls.
let's see what happens.

 

[Kyrbi0]

^The Lich? Seriously? I'd like to see this happen.

 

[A.R.]

Soul shakedown party tonight.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hehe nice start A.R.
wonder how that will turn out in terms of a troll

can anyone else believe that the last texturing contest was over two years ago?

 

[4ORMER]

going to be working on some sort of zandalari caster. super early wip

 

[Chen]

A Zandalar!

This should be in the notices, to make more people be interested.

 

[Misha]

cool, i'll troll around to see what you guys can think of :3

 

[Vinz]

So it is time. *dies*

 

[A.R.]

Update! Dem bones.

I'm having trouble getting WorldEdit to load the correct version of the texture. I've got the model set as TFT but it's unintentionally overwriting the RoC Lich. The path is the same in both .MPQs for both versions of the texture.

Anyone? Plz halp?

 

[Chen]

Looks cool A.R.

Anyways, here's my first WIP, just a cleanup to the Huntress skin:

 

[4ORMER]

....i may have accidentally deleted my skin sooooooo time to restart haha

 

[Chen]

You can restore it in recycle bin.

 

[Vinz]

How about permanent deletions?

Textures/HeroLich.blp is the only path as far as I know.

 

[Just_Spectating]

I suppose it's time i started
W.I.P. 1

 

[Red]

Oh hey, I forgot there were undead trolls. I might try doing one of the mummy trolls from old school wow...

UPDATE: Obligatory WIP here, even though I'll probably end up doing this whole thing in one or two sittings.

The mohawk and just about everything not on the portrait here are still untouched.

DOUBLE POST OH GOD HELP

Just about ready to call it a day on this, maybe a little more shading later.

 

[Kwaliti]

Looking great folks!

~Posts merged.

 

[Kyrbi0]

AR, you need to stop making things that make me change my storyline. :<

Red, that is bomb. Really really snappy and clean. Y'know, for a Mummy.

 

[Gilles]

I love this contest, trolls are my favorite Wc3 race.

Red, liking the mummy troll, although I'm not a fan of the Mohawk. Not sure what you could do, but perhaps adding some detail to it. Jewellery or something.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I love this contest, trolls are my favorite Wc3 race.

!!!!!

 

[eubz]

This might help me in gaining more knowledge in digital Painting. Some WIPS here.

 

[4ORMER]

since i accidentally deleted my other skin i figured i'd start again, this time I'm going with a different idea. I'm going to create some sort of troll Dragonhawk hybrid similar to the Dragonhawk boss in Zul'Aman

 

[grunt]

I'll join this contest !!
this is my first real retexture !!

 

[Heinvers]

Very nice! Zandalari, Darkspear?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Yeaaarrrrr! mon.
W.I.P. 2

 

[Chen]

All Looks cool!

Anyways, I'm trying to skin the Shadow Hunter, females look boring.

Does these parts included in the skin or it's just....decorations?

 

[4ORMER]

small update, I'm hoping ill finish this before the competition deadline. I'm very busy at the moment.

Everything drawn in a skin are (maybe) used by its model.

//========================================
BTW, another WIP from me.

 

[4ORMER]

Wing's are pretty much finished

update: added some swirls

 

[Chen]

I love it, 4ORMER!

 

[GhostThruster]

wip. supposed to be some zandalari winged raptor rider who for some reason sacrificed his eyes and ears. rar file contains an .xcf that shows the layers and stuff i used

only done head and mouth so far

 

[Chen]

The wyvern could be a manticore(but I think that's the same).

 

[grunt]

more wips !!

 

[Chen]

more wips !!

Cool! is that a Zandalar?

 

[PlankingWolf]

more wips !!

Right now, just because they're the fastest with the WIPs, looks like I'm liking Captain Grunt's and Just_Spectating's trolls the most in the moment.

 

[grunt]

Cool! is that a Zandalar?

I don't know what is zandalar I got inspired by this http://www.worldofwarcraft-alliance.com/uploads/pics/wow_troll-1024x.jpg

 

[Heinvers]

That's a jungle troll. The zandalari have more of an light blueish-purple skin. Anyway that skin is good so far Wish i could have joined though.

 

[Hawkwing]

You guys have such cool ideas! I can't wait to see what comes out of this contest.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Just about finished, Just need to touch up some areas and create some presentation

May the High Seas be wid you mon!
