Texturing Contest #25 - Dark Elves/Drow

[aeman]

last wip and fix

 

[Traggey]

My butt has been ever so busy working on my game, and trying to get my Pandaren units working properly. But I've managed to get some more done on this!

It makes me sad how they alocated so little UV space to the shoulderpads, which are so huge on the model. *fistshake*

 

[Moy]

Finally had a free little time. Here's my WIP. The model is the Assassin.

 

[aeman]

This is my final submission, i'm just curious how all of you can create skin better than i expect
here

DARK ELF ELDER

 

[Heinvers]

Practice and time can get you a long way.
Upload it to the Skins section as well if you think this is your final submission.

However, I would get to check up on texturing tutorials and work more on this.

Edit: Updating entries list at the moment.
Cool works so far guys. Would be great to see more people participate.
Nevertheless, keep at it~

 

[Windrunner29]

Perhaps I'll join this contest (are buildings allowed ?).

 

[Heinvers]

Perhaps I'll join this contest (are buildings are alowed ?).

Once again, I strongly advice people to refer to the first post if in doubt.
It contains every bit of information there is to know about the contest's theme and many more.

Long story short: yes, a unit not a building.

Happy reading~

 

[Windrunner29]

yes, a unit not a building.
I don't understand what you're saying here, but the first post says : " person/being or any construct related to it using the vanilla models or the custom ones found on the site. "

I don't understand :'(

 

[Shar Dundred]

Long story put short: Buildings are not allowed, @Windrunner29.

 

[Windrunner29]

ok.. Thanks you Shar !

I will not join.

 

[Heinvers]

We are nearing the deadline guys. It would be a good idea if some of you would actually post some progress with your textures.
That is if you're still at 'em.

Bumping here, @Bernkastel @Sclammerz @Sin'dorei300 @The_Silent (for uploading skin to resource section if it is final) @Wisdom @~Nightmare

 

[Traggey]

Bummer! I'll be leaving town for a few days for a convention, so I believe I will not be able to participate.

I wish the best of luck to all of you who do! /salute

 

[Moy]

I just need to upload mine. I'll do that today or tomorrow.

 

[Sellenisko]

Damn it! Looks so good your entries! :-D please guys...would any of you be willing to help me create one skin for my upcoming nightborne models? :-D pretty pretty please...Anyway good luck with your skin clash!

 

[Heinvers]

Bumping here once again. Do you guys require an extension? If so, then I am willing to grant 2 weeks.

[Sclammerz]

[Heinvers]

I am glad to hear of your interest guys. It's settled then. Two weeks of extension granted.

[Deleted member 238226]

more wip

 

[Moy]

I've submitted mine: Dark Elf Messenger

 

[Deleted member 238226]

okay mine is done. Drow Arthas

 

[Moy]

Even though the contest allows custom models to be skinned, no one had the guts to do one. XD

@Wisdom, seems Heinvers and Dionesiist style you got there (armor to be precise)

 

[Archer01]

Hello,

Can I participate with my drow siren?

Drow Siren

 

[aeman]

where is the wip

 

[Heinvers]

Hello,

Can I participate with my drow siren?

Drow Siren

Sure you can.
But, we do require some work in progress pictures of your skin. You might as well work more on top of this since we have until the 15th of August.
Plenty of time.

I do appreciate you for taking the time to try making something. It is a thing that I see as a gesture of effort that's pretty valuable. So, thank you again for entering the contest : )

 

[Archer01]

I updated my Drow Siren and I added some WIP, I hope I'm good with the requirements for participate now !

WIP images of the unwrap:

 

[Heinvers]

Yes you are. I have added the wip images you provided on your post here instead, making it clear that you made it.
Cheers~

Any progress guys? @Traggey, @Bernkastel, @Sin'dorei300?

One more day left for most to finish : )

 

[Traggey]

Unfortunately I am currently trapped in the southern parts of Sweden on some urgent family business, it is doubtfully I'll be back by tomorrow but here's hoping.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Srry guys for bein' inactive. Now i'm home for a few days and i'll try to finish my skin or at least submit it in its current state.
Thank you 4 the extension, Heinv!
Good luck everyone!

 

[Heinvers]

While we're nearing the deadline, it would be appreciated if you guys would leave your input here. I've came up with an idea in order to spice up our Texturing & Surfacing section.
Let me know what's your take on it and hopefully help me bloom off the section, plus having some fun once in awhile : )

 

[aeman]

i'm just thinking i'm useless because i'm not skilled enough at photoshop but not busy but the one who knew well to photoshop is busy and i'm still think i need more photoshop lesson

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Some progress:

 

[Archian]

i'm just thinking i'm useless because i'm not skilled enough at photoshop but not busy but the one who knew well to photoshop is busy and i'm still think i need more photoshop lesson

We have plenty of tutorials in our tutorial section, and I think you will also be able to find some useful tips in our Art & Graphic Designs forum as well as our Texturing & Surfacing board.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

More WIPz:

I must say it - the wrap is just..."awesome", lol.

 

[Heinvers]

Well done Sin'dorei. You guys have until I posted the poll ;-)
That being days from now. Sad that @Bernkastel didn't posted, oh well.

It will be a pleasure to have all these amazing entries judged. I love them.
Keep up the good work.

 

[Traggey]

Alright, made it back from the family mess and got time to wrap this one up!
Going to upload soon.

 

[Heinvers]

Pretty darn good right there mate <3

Glad to hear that it all got sorted up. If it's not too much, do you still have the previou color scheme skin variation you were going for before this?
It would make for a fine alternative to this one : )

 

[Traggey]

I do not! Whilst it looked real swell in my texturing application it turns out it didn't read very well at all inside of Warcraft 3, which is why I made the changes. However it shouldn't require too much work for me to move back to the older style.

 

[Heinvers]

Sure thing. Now with the site's new bundle system, you can upload a second skin to your first in the same bundle. Nifty stuff I may say : )

 

[Traggey]

Drow of the Talon

Here's the submission.

Yeah I might do just that, for now I wish to get back to my Pandarens and sort them out.
But I definitely prefer the older colour scheme myself, wasn't untill I got it into engine and saw what WC3's shading did to the model that I decided to change it up.
The Talon model suffers from some preeeetty nasty shading errors.


There's an alternate verision with the more night elven look, that what you're looking for?

I was afraid it was a little too Nelf like to qualify as a drow.

 

[Heinvers]

Yes, that's the one.

 

[Traggey]

Cool beans, I'll do some touchups and upload that one aswell then, along with HD verisions of both.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Daaaang that face. Beautiful.

 

[Heinvers]

I apologize for such a long waiting. I'm still waiting on somebody and then we can proceed with the poll next week.
Real life business to be taken care of before that. You know the drill

 

[aeman]

updating the skin

here's the improvement

Dark Elf Prophet

 

[Heinvers]

Good but I'd add more folds to these white cloth parts. It is a bit too monotone.

Here's an example:

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Finally...my entry: Drow Watcher
A bit sloppy, coz i lost my patience importing the skin so many times.
The wrap is just "pure love".
I know that it still needs work, i'll update it... someday.
Thanks Heinvers, thanks guys!
