Misha · Feb 2, 2016

which was the cyclops-guy again?

The_Silent · Feb 2, 2016

This thing I assume:

morbent · Feb 2, 2016

Yep. Although I'd probably go with Duriel. Seems the most fun.

Archian · Feb 3, 2016

Here's for inspiration: http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/

I suppose Anub'arak would be a fitting model for Duriel.

Mountain Giant would fit the Wendigo:

The War Golem could fit for the Thorned Hulk:

The Abomination would fit the Unburied:

But I think I'll go with Mephisto.

The_Silent · Feb 3, 2016

Archian is in the race, what a rare opportunity. Time to show your mettle guys.

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 3, 2016

Herp derp, Heinvers. If you think female Wc3 models are less derpy, than you didn't yet see Sorceress' triangular cleavage that I fainted upon trying to get it right lol.

Ancient of War also makes a fine model choice for Thorned Hulk, while most trolls can go for Fallens from D2.

aeman · Feb 3, 2016

posting to prove this is mine

Chen · Feb 3, 2016

Zakarum Priest/Crusader guy of some sorts? Pretty neat.

GhostThruster · Feb 3, 2016

k akama's wrap is aids so gonna go with potm > amazon on a tiger

morbent · Feb 3, 2016

What are you gonna use for Mephisto? Wow, I would def go for him if there was a fitting model

(well of course, now that you've taken him I won't but I'm still curious to know what would fit).

I was also thinking the Jungler could fit for a wendigoo btw (he has more fitting attack animations and spikier hands (like the wendigoo). Just gotta remove the horns).

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 3, 2016

Guys, the characters you're doing must resemble original artworks as much as possible. You could do an amazon on a tiger, but she herself not having a tiger in any Diablo game would heavily impact on your score.

Some minor things that simply cannot be "fixed", such as doing Bow Amazon on any one of archers where half of them have cape which original Amazon doesn't, and none have fitting head/hair shape for her original appearance - that is tolerable, to a point. But I'm afraid adding a full tiger really wouldn't fit there. This doesn't mean that you must follow every little bit to the detail - you are free to add as much details as possible, as long as it looks and "feels" like the original Diablo char, it passes.

For Mephisto, Lich, Revenant and Sorceress (Yes, due to alphable legs and huge crown allowing horns) could work wonderfully.

aeman · Feb 3, 2016

more progress

its now getting wierd

morbent · Feb 3, 2016

I had already disregarded lich as he doesn't have 4 limbs but I guess the chains could work for the tentacles Mephisto has, but still...

You can alpha out cloaks on archers though so no problem here.
edit: my bad, the team color is there...

I'll go for dat Izual ass. But seriously, fuck this guy's health. And freezing attacks. And frost novas. And him overall.

Another option would be to make Blood Raven xD oh the paradox

You should. Join my army of the dead - Blood Raven

Edit: I guess too late now. Good luck.

RED BARON · Feb 4, 2016

So is there a requirement for team color? Also if not, then I got an idea I hope to have time to do. :wink:

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 4, 2016

It's optional. Not a necessity, but sure a plus.

Hmm okay.. I'll see what I can.. Just has a lot to alpha out.

aeman · Feb 4, 2016

I think im just gonna leave the hair untouch and im done (im just rework it)

morbent · Feb 4, 2016

Bosses don't really need team color though. They even look better without. So.. is it a plus really? I'd say it's a con but alright.

Misha · Feb 4, 2016

teamcolor is useful on a boss too, what if you want to make him appear more enraged or calmer? switch teamcolor to red or other x3

but Diablo charas never really had TC .u.

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 4, 2016

It is a plus considering the fact that one might use the unit for a spammable creature you'll encounter in teamed armies, while other person could use it as the boss. So all in one, team color is a plus for sure. One can easily disable TC on a model via object editor, but it cannot add it easily.

morbent · Feb 4, 2016

Gotta leave an area textureless to get Warcraft 3 like teamcolor. But I guess just a fill on an area will do, for a Diablo creature after all.

Misha · Feb 5, 2016

well, i remember duriel and many bosses were tinted differently for the helluva harder difficulty playthroughs, or for special events. so yeah, one more use for TC

Moy · Feb 5, 2016

I think there should be TC for every texture. Because of Aph said.

Just_Spectating · Feb 5, 2016

I love diablo,
I may join this contest.
too many possibilities.

The blademaster monk's here to say hi.

Sorry Misha, that I went on this first HAHA

Awesome!! Kharazim <:

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 5, 2016

Team color can be textured, gradiently shaded, fit the Warcraft style and kick ass - all at the same time.
Refer to these:

Posting another wip, I have a hard time getting the right mouth and the right nose. Oh well.

Heinvers · Feb 5, 2016

TC can be included or ignored completely.
For example, Dionesiist, shiik, 67chrome, chr2 made some excellent use of it. Gradient, shading and whatnot included with it to integrate it nicely into the overall skin.

It's really your call what you make with it.

The_Silent · Feb 5, 2016

I take it that the blademaster's sword material is not set to "transparent". If it is, it would fit more thematically removing it.

Just_Spectating · Feb 6, 2016

Early W.I.P.

doing Griswold.
Just getting the colors in the right place for now.

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 6, 2016

Is that the villager model? o.o
That'd be epic to see how it ends up like.

I believe that is the Peon.

Heavens be forgiving with you on that model.
If you get past that atrocious head wrap then everything should work fine for your idea.

Chen · Feb 6, 2016

Aww Nice! The peon base model though, I must say good luck on the wrap, but goodbye beer belly I guess?.

Have you looked at the portrait with your texture by the way?

Just_Spectating · Feb 6, 2016

Wip 2

Due to the nature of the portrait, I may have to adapt my skin onto the villager.
however, since I only worked on the body and it still remains true to the same wrap on the villager model, this wont be too much of a problem.

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 7, 2016

What's the issue with Peon portrait? Haven't textured it ever so I don't know.

Just_Spectating · Feb 7, 2016

I can't alpha out the ears, and tusks, so it wouldn't make any sense for griswold

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 7, 2016

He is undead. You could use that to your advantage and add bones sticking out/retexture it to look gory and flesh alike.

A Void · Feb 7, 2016

It would still look odd, two perfectly placed bones on near his mouth?

Apheraz Lucent · Feb 7, 2016

Working around wrap is generally what makes you a better texturer, not skinning itself.

But I do agree that Villager might be better suitable for Gris.

The_Silent · Feb 7, 2016

Why not one-headed ogre for Griswold? Certainly have a better wrap. Also the belly.

A Void · Feb 7, 2016

The_Silent said:

Because he has a spike bone coming out of his head.

The_Silent · Feb 7, 2016

Fair, didn't realise that. Sad really.

Heinvers · Feb 7, 2016

A Void said:

That can be easily fixed by working your way around the wrap. For example you could make a spiky helmet out of that part using the horn while still looking totally different than the ogre

Just a word of advice, the skin you're doing doesn't have to look 100% like the character you're referencing it to.
It's enough to have some resemblance to it. Of course, there's a long way between resemblance and totally off-beat.

@Just_Spectating, cool wip btw.

Just_Spectating · Feb 7, 2016

Wip 3

New body
he looks a little too slim, but for now this is the model i'm going to stick with

Moy · Feb 8, 2016

WIP #3 - Monky monk monk
Here's another WIP. The face is a bit weird, because I removed the tusks and his mouth is a little bit not normal-looking (blademaster's mouth wrap is bad, but the texture itself is perfect for it D

. The weapon is not final, I just made that and it looks not good, lol. The pants is teamcolored and unfortunately I cannot remove the flag it has teamcolor too. Sadly, I don't like those bandages on his arm and foot, still finding ideas tho. Any suggestions guys? Also I do not want to remove the weapon

, I have seen some images that monk bear sword and even a shield. lol

Heinvers · Feb 10, 2016

Bump~

morbent, GhostThruster, PeeKay, Bernkastel, -Grendel, Stanakin...

Misha · Feb 10, 2016

I'm sure interested to see what Morbent will come up with

morbent · Feb 12, 2016

Eh, uh, gotta draw (behind schedule). Will do it 'round the end, as always.
