I don't know.
Do miracles still happen today?

yeah, i'd like some more opinions if this will pass up to the theme and to make sure i am not spending my time on this only to know i'm way to off track. here's the current face by the way.

I think it's okay.
It's dark enough for me.

thanks for the fast responses! now i'll be continuing this skin despite the large numbers of recycled UV's. i might consider changing to the tree of life model and keeping the same concept. if only i knew this guy has a messy wrap, i would've worked on a texture for the tree of life model.

 

[Moy]

Wow, that is so awesome -Grendel! Looking forward to see that finished.

Any foreseeable time when you get a new power source?
I just want to know in case you get it later so we can handle a situation if it arises

 

[Moy]

I just don't know when I would buy since exams are coming O_O
And there's a chance that I would not be able to participate, in that case, "I'm sorry" in advance.

I see, well I'm curious since you're one of the cool guys around.

Yeah and about that, you never know, deadlines can always be extended if the need arises

Necropolis Golem WIP

Uhhmm.. I don't really know if this qualifies for darkness

 

[Heinvers]

Somehow yes but get rid of the pentagram.
That part reeks of demonic too much which in term pulls it out of the theme.

Do something else instead of pentagrams

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Guys. As long as your character leaves an impression that it/he/she could kill a kitten without blinking, you're on the right track.

Anything dark passes here, it's creative output you get for theme and is of insanely wild array.

 

[morbent]

So apparently there are many opinions on what dark is, aka, do whatever you want I say (Go darkkkk

...)

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Dark doesn't necessarily mean evil tho. Fine example is Sylvanas eh?

 

[-Grendel]

i really have the urge to make a racist joke about dark but i choose not to do so because i'm a kind old man.

 

[morbent]

Sylvanas is evil Apheraz. But yea I agree with you.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

She's not. In short, she's been forced into something, and everything she does is now to counter the one who did injustice to her. You ought to look the whole story if you want to see the actual difference
But I believe there's no good and evil, I very firmly trust in right and wrong instead.

Anywhore, if you wanna talk on this topic more, whoop me a VM, just to keep this on-topic.

Thanks tho.
If ever I cannot get back, again, Sorry. I'll try my best to get a power source. (and get money from my mom :3)

 

[BETABABY]

I have a hard time deciding wether I should change my entry or stick to it.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

If the problem is in wrapping, look at skins section for that model to find some inspiration on how to bypass hideous wrappings.

If the problem is you not being satisfied with skin so far, I'd immediately change the model. Chances are, if you ain't happy with it, others won't be either. Dissatisfaction will show on the texture too.

 

[Moy]

@Heinvers: I would like to see a WIP of yours, if you have. XD

decided to change the model to be textured because... the amount of recycled UV's on the ancient of lore is just too much.. i mean, both the legs and the arms use the same wrap, the branches on his back and the inner part of his mouth uses same wrap as the body. i just can't stand that.

i wanted to make him have a face that looks like a skull but making his nose to look skeletal is just weird. sure on front view he looks skull enough with that kind of nose but side view, he just looks weird specially on the portrait angle.

 

[morbent]

Ah that's too bad, I really liked the swamp creature idea :/ This is looking promising too though

 

[-Grendel]

yeah. sadly i had to give up the concept. i really liked it too, but i just cant stand the UV. the head will look good but every other place will just look bad and i really wanna fiddle with the alpha channels on that one, i had a great plan on his body that involves alpha but his other parts will have holes too lol.

 

[morbent]

You could probably try another ancient? Or are they the same shit?

 

[-Grendel]

i tried remaking it on the tree of life since it has the least amount of recycled UV's among all the other NE ancients but the head UV is just too small to fit in the face structure that i want and anything that i place that looks like an open mouth ended up like a plastic surgery failure.
i'm kinda liking the uv on the bloodmage though. his portrait animations with this skin looks awesome.

 

[morbent]

Alright I see. It's just that, I can't think of many ancient textures, while with blood mages.. plenty.
Sigh.. blizzard and their wrapping.

yeah its really tough to find a war3 model with a "decent" UV to texture on. the tree of life model was my last choice on the swamp creature concept but the space is just too small to put any details so the head will just look similar to the default tree of life head only with more wrinkles.

 

[morbent]

Yea like, I just noticed the Revenant is ass and I can't really alpha out the plate on his chest since it is actually used in the portrait. Oh and where the fuck is the area that controls the helmet eye hole (that T)? I gotta find it so I can texture it like it is in the normal model. Oh well. I might be switching as well.

Still, I gotta hand it to Blizzard, they made amazing designs, animations, overall 3d models. I prefer these to what they are offering now... Now if that doesn't say something about war3 models...

I'm not sure we're on theme though, are we? We can switch to VMs if there's actually more to be said, if you wish.

current skin so far. turned his hair into a hood. i really wanna alpha out those remaining hair but as always the mesh is UV'ed on a single segment on the texture lol.

 

[Kyrbi0]

It's a real shame you couldn't get that Ancient texture to work, but you know the medium way better than I do, so I'll take your word for it. Lookin' good elsewise!

very neat, i like it alot.

[morbent]

Good idea for that hood! I like it!

i'd say 70-80% complete on this one, i'll just be posting a portrait file since there's nothing else to show except his upper body. its kinda weird that i'll be submitting two blood mage based entries on both the texturing and modeling contest.

 

[Heinvers]

Pretty damn cool. At this point I'm more interested to see what are your intentions with the cape.

 

[-Grendel]

as of now i don't really have a solid concept on how to make it unique so i plan to texture his cape last when everything else is done.

 

[Moy]

I would be happy if you're the one who sang it, on video.

\/ Insert stupid post in here \/
We(boys) are mostly not cut for singing female songs(most of the time it sounds 'bit weird. There are exceptions of course). It's a female friendly song though.

Anyways, get a power source already xD

 

[BETABABY]

I decided to changed my entry so.. here is what i've been currently working on.

Using the Faceless One model.

I call it Necropolis One.

[Deleted member 238226]

nothing really special that i wanted to do with the cape. i wanted it to look like a worn out and burned cape, thats why its black on the torn parts.

 

[morbent]

No man don't leave :/ Come on Wisdom. "If you're tired of starting over, STOP GIVING UP" You know ?

Grendel what are those triangles on his cape? (The bump areas)

I really like that mask Beta, curious to see what you'll do with the rest. A few more colors wouldn't hurt though.

 

[-Grendel]

so uhh... i guess i'm done?

 

[Heinvers]

so uhh... i guess i'm done?

I'm pleasantly surprised by this.
Boots, Dionesiist inspiration? ;D

 

[-Grendel]

yes, definitely dio inspired boots. specially those hanging piece of cloth thingy under his knee. guy really knows how to make his way around blizzard wraps

 

[Deleted member 238226]

No man don't leave :/ Come on Wisdom. "If you're tired of starting over, STOP GIVING UP" You know ?

i am not tired of anything. just feeling not motivated to do it. but perhaps i will change my mind in close time.

 

[morbent]

Yea actually same here. I should make my second thing or just add in a plate cloth to this/finish it up around the end.

 

[Heinvers]

Is everybody asleep around?
You've become quitting chickens lately guys.
Yes, I'm looking especially at you morbent c:

I expect an explanation for this

 

[morbent]

Wha? Whaaat? I made my texture in the first 3 days :X I was an active bee.
Now it's time for my slumber.
Besides.. Uhm. I got time.

HOW BOUT YOU?!

 

[Heinvers]

Hey, don't throw that question back at me now!
btw, still keeping that Revenant skin or thinking of switching over?
