Texturing Contest #8 - Melee Heroes

[Stanakin]

I'm back for a bit. Might do something like this.
Update: new WIP image.

 

[eubz]

OK, here's my blp file...View attachment Heropaladin.blp my entry to the contest...

 

[M0rbid]

And another WiP, not sure about the changes yet though....

Show

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Lulz at flag,you should change that one

 

[M0rbid]

ehem, would you mind elaborating on what is wrong with it right now ?

(also it's not yet finished, still I am curious)

 

[darkdeathknight]

I think it looks like the autobot logo.

Holy macaroni! That second WIP looks awesome! One can clearly see it's a troll now

 

[SuPa-]

Oh hai thar.

Really early WIP.
Face.

 

[Dionesiist]

Skin makes him look slightly dead-ish. I hope that isn't your intention.

 

[SuPa-]

That is my intention

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Undead paladin! Good choice,NOT.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Undead paladin is not a good choice, because it conflicts the rules.


.. imagine how easy it would be to host contests if people actually read the rules.

 

[Skycraft]

You can't make an undead paladin - not the same faction as humans. Try doing something else.

Looks like a Wretched to me.
Wretched = Blood Elf = Alliance, technically.

 

[knight26]

Edit: nvm

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

(also it's not yet finished, still I am curious)

Well,its just that the model is epic yet the flag is not

 

[anarchianbedlam]

It's a skin.

It's a duck

 

[Dionesiist]

Wretched = Blood Elf = Alliance, technically.

Yeah, and wretched also don't appear in Warcraft's non-WoW lore.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

A normal, WC3 Blood Elf would be fine, but a so-called "Wretched" is not part of the unit roster of the Human faction in WC3.

 

[Dionesiist]

Even so, it'd still be a silly conversion. Blood Elves can't grow full beards.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Ah, right you are, indeed.

EDIT: I'd like to announce with this post that I won't be available for the coming three weeks and as such won't be able to tell people whether or not their ideas are acceptable. I hope those of you who have understood the rules help out to make sure nobody ends up with an unacceptable entry. Furthermore, as I'm not satisfied with my work on the MK so far, I won't be able to complete my entry for the contest unless summer plans change. For those interested, I'll probably be completing it anyway, just not for the contest.

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah, I read the first sentence and the rest was tl;dr
It wouldn't be a good choice anyway because it's extremely unoriginal

I'll do something else, I was going to drop that idea anyway haha.

 

[chr2]

Aight. Time for another WIP:

WIP3

I'm not really sure which one I want to go for, though it's probably either nr. 2 or 3.

 

[D a w n]

2 ,

 

[Stanakin]

I'd say 3, definately not 1 anyway.

My current 'shield' design:

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

I'd say 3

Looks amazing! I love the idea. I wonder, what is it riding on?

And another WiP, not sure about the changes yet though....

Very nice, but you should change the black on those 'samurai leg plates' into teamcolor, and the flag looks rather strange.

Number 2. It looks awesome, and provides a bit of color variation(both brown and gray\white).

 

[Ilike]

(EDIT) I'd say 2.

 

[knight26]

@chr2, i will agree with the second one. It looks really cool.

 

[-Grendel]

Looks amazing! I love the idea. I wonder, what is it riding on?

i think its some sort of dinosaur.

 

[Weep]

One can clearly see it's a troll now

Oh, it's a Troll? I thought it was a (WoW) Draenei or something.

 

[chr2]

Oh, it's a Troll? I thought it was a (WoW) Draenei or something.

Well, it has the tiki, trollen-ish nose, red eyes and rides a raptor. Besides, one isn't allowed to convert Orcs into Draenei.

 

[Direfury]

I've decided to change my concept entirely, and've gone with a ritualistic Blademaster. Though I did prefer his earlier Fel Orc skin, I wasn't sure if it'd fit or not. Anyway, I'm still working out what I should work on.

Just a note, the editor I used to preview the skin doesn't work well with planes, so TC glows might warp a little.

 

[Dionesiist]

Your armor does not make sense. You should try making coherent designs, not just random surfaces of colour and material.

 

[chr2]

I agree with Dio about the armor. I love his skull neckless however, and is that a Bleeding Hollow banner I see?

 

[Direfury]

I was more or less going for a large warbelt on his chest, but I'll be redoing most of the body, it's pretty well one big placeholder.


However, I've done a little bit of work, but I might scrap the "Warrior" approach, turn his skull necklace into a fluffy, kingly collar and redesign his suit, like some kind of jewel-encrusted clan Chieftain. But totally still a blademaster. With lots of gold.

 

[Blood Raven]

~WiP 01~

Well, i am a little late, but finaly, here's my first WiP x)
I edited the Crypt Lord and turned it into a Blood Lord, but only the scales are finished for now. Give feedback!

TO BE CONTINUED...

 

[Deolrin]

Well, that's not fitting.
The Crypt Lord has to stay a Crypt Lord. Read the rules.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Well, that's not fitting.
The Crypt Lord has to stay a Crypt Lord. Read the rules.

 

[Deolrin]

into a Blood Lord

Which I assume means a blood elf-esque Crypt Lord.
It has to stay an undead creature. Not a blood-elf.

 

[Blood Raven]

well, it's still a crypt lord...
and it's undead
it's just in red color theme

ill add some skulls here and there, so it will look more like undead.

 

[chr2]

Just make sure it still fits with the spells. Not that I think it wouldn't.

 

[Figueiredo00]

i thought that you were creating a different kind of Cript lord, something like a carnophage, a bloody and disgusting bug, but with just a red color theme its a little bit meh

 

[Arowanna]

Just pointing something out here, Nerubians doesn't have to be "undead" to
be honest... And it would make sense if we could convert them into Silithid,
Arachnathid, Aqir and Qiraji (which are “close relatives” to the Nerubian).
But of course, they do not really appear in the Warcraft 3 storyline,
so maybe we shouldn't allow them anyway.

Thousands of years later when the Lich King extended his
influence over Northrend, the shadowy empire stood against his power. The
ancient subterranean kingdom of Azjol-Nerub sent their elite warrior-guard to
attack Icecrown and end the Lich King's mad bid for dominance. Much to his
frustration, Ner'zhul found that the evil nerubians were immune not only to
the undead plague, but to his telepathic domination as well.

Just pointing something out here, Nerubians doesn't have to be "undead" ...blah blah blah

Yeah, but the Crypt Lord belongs to the Undead race, and according to the RULES it has to remain undead. The mountain king is a dwarf, but that doesn't mean I can make him a fel dwarf. That would still be a dwarf but it wouldn't fit into the human race.

What he said. The Crypt Lord can be turned into a skeleton, a zombie, heck, even a demon (due to demons apparently being part of the undead race in WC3), but nothing that exceeds the boundaries of the undead race.

 

[Direfury]

The Undead is probably the most diverse of all the races.

Mostly because you could have an abomination made up of various Night Elf corpses, and technically it'd still count. Despite that not being a hero, and actually not count here.

 

[M0rbid]

and if I remember correctly, loop-holing does not count aswell....
thus why the abomination ubernightelf idea does not work....

I can't remember seeing Malfurion in the standard wc3 abominations anyways...

 

[Direfury]

Idea is, it's a walking corpse-blanket, with little specification about what kind of corpses. Is what I'm getting at, the race is very open ended.

 

[chr2]

Alright. I'm finished. I present to you...

Ingame shot (Old version)

UPDATE: I changed the wrinkles, hair and darkened his scarf.

UPDATE2: I added a 100% quality version too, for better results.
