Texturing Contest #8 - Melee Heroes

[darkdeathknight]

My biggest problems with this skin is the forehead and the hair. The wrinkles are too weird in the actual model cos they look like bands of skin. Try to get a more realistic feel of it.

Secondly is the hair. The hair looks really good on the unwrap, but when you see it on the actual models its really dull in a way. Try to add more black strands to make it stand out a bit more.

 

[Direfury]

That level of contrast is better in small amounts.

 

[-Grendel]

Well, about time i submit my entry.

[darkdeathknight]

I think the face looks quite messy on the actual model. It may be just me though.

 

[Direfury]

Just a little bit too much going on.

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

Awesome! looks good .

 

[graystuff111]

all I have so far... gotta do something about that TC, it looks like s***

 

[Direfury]

You could always give him bracers, or try bushes with TC flowers of some sort?

 

[8512590215848]

Wip of my death knight.

 

[8512590215848]

New wip, keep working.

 

[Figueiredo00]

but use the Edit button, dont double post ...

 

[8512590215848]

I finished that beauty and posted it to the skin section.

 

[chr2]

I updated the skin with a few edits. It's still found here.

 

[graystuff111]

Here's it in the skin section
Yeah, peace

So I decided to give him a skull hat, and touch up a few things. Anything in dire need of redoing?

This is what I think : The skin itself is nice but it don't have a overall theme that make it awesome eye candy.

 

[darkdeathknight]

I must say you did the hair and the cloth textures very well Vermillion.

 

[M0rbid]

Entry time.
My entry is inspired by the appearance of Thrall as a Clanleader in Warcraft 3, I tried to reproduce an armor of a possible Chieftain with my own touch to it. Making it look a bit more detailed and powerful, while keeping the style of Warcraft 3 textures to it.

Here you go:

Preview

Attached are a 512 x 512 version and a 256 x 256 version of the skin, depending on the filesize that can be "wasted".

[chr2]

The epicness of that sword is indescribable.

 

[Direfury]

Just wanna point out that most quilted armor in WC3 has a metal border somewhere, usually with metal studs where each square connects to the others.

And yes, that sword scares me.

 

[Blood Raven]

i'm quitting the contest...
there isn't much time and my entry sucks...

[Stanakin]

Very slowly progressing:

 

[Dionesiist]

Scratch that, I'm finished.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

On dio model...
Pros : Badass looking deathknight
Cons : I just sneezed while thinking of cons... :/

 

[Dionesiist]

A con would be that it's basically the exact same thing. Ampharos handled the whole redesign idea better with his Death Knight, although outside the contest.

 

[Ilike]

Scratch that, I'm finished.

That face is bad-ass .

 

[Arowanna]

Just a "taste" of what I'm doing... Looks rather generic and boring compared to the rest... But whatever! It's fun to give it a go!

I've not fixed the Alpha yet, so there's some irritating "black spots" and etc.
- Still not sure what to do with the chest and back; tattoos?
- The face needs heavy improvement...
- Shorten the "sword lenght"
- What shall we do with does pants? D:

@Stanakin Skywalker, hell yeah! Best shit I've seen at Hive in years!
Seriously, it looks so fucking bad-ass!
@Dio, looks amazing Dio! The sword & armor is friggin' amazing!

 

[chr2]

That looks interesting. There are a few things I'd like to point out, though. Trolls are known for having a total of three fingers on each hand (two regular fingers and a thumb). The wrinkles are also terribly messy at the moment. You should make them a little more straight. Also, the tusks are blue because of the blademaster's messed up wrapping. The tusks and lower part of the feet use the same part of the texture for their wrap, so when making him barefooted, the tusks too will get the color of his skin. I'd suggest maybe giving him sandals the color of bone. I believe that would solve the problem.

 

[-Grendel]

you drew the underside of his feet in the part where the tusks wrap -.-
would be better if you just drew the tusks because it will be seen most of the time on his portrait

 

[Arowanna]

Edited the "pad", in favor of the "Darkspear Troll Crest".
The banner has the form of a logo of the Darkspear Crest (lowest part).
Trying to add something to the pants, but not sure yet...
Still not sure what to do about the chest & back.
Added some "leather-ish" armor.
Added tattoos & reduced wrinkles.

Any ideas for the sword/spear? :S

@chr2, took most of your notes in mind (thanks by the way).
Haven't fixed everything though..!
@Ampharos_222, I'm well aware of that, but I was to pissed of
at the wrap to fix it before I posted the WIP.

 

[THE_END]

Just got back from Costa Rica..I'll see if I can finish

Looks much better now. Looking forward to see it finished. Oh, and as for the sword. I liked the idea about the spear you originally had.

 

[Dionesiist]

So, uh, either my knowledge regarding skulls is bad, or the model isn't really helping.

EDIT: Yeah, better idea.

EDIT 2: Getting there.

 

[chr2]

Oh, of course! The Dark Ranger. I couldn't really figure out what model you were editing It looks nice so far, though I don't get why you changed your mind.

 

[Dionesiist]

Because the Death Knight looks too much like the original. No points to creativity.

EDIT: Update.

 

[Dentothor]

ill see if i can finish up quick

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Oh dent's joining,this is gonna be a nice contest

 

[Dentothor]

i was already in, my WIP was in a couple posts back.

 

[Direfury]

So I did a little tweaking, I'm still not sure what needs to be done.

 

[A.R.]

Dio: Yeah, that model's portrait is torture to do anything pretty with. I actually kinda like the clean skull one

Might or might not get this finished by the deadline. I've had family over for the last two weeks, so time for art has been scarce :<

Well, please finish it regardless! It looks beautiful, and fits well with the native art assets of WC3.

 

[Stanakin]

Meh, I'm not going to be able to finish in time. I'll upload what I do have tomorrow.

Deadline has come but still no judge...

all right, put the finishing touches on my mt. king skin.

[A.R.]

Damn, missed the deadline by 3 hours D:

I'm submitting mine for my pride, purely to say that it's done.

I can't test it in game at the moment, due to not having WC3 on this computer. In order to get the alpha on the wings to work, you'll need to set the opacity to 1% through triggers and make sure the hero doesn't have Shadowmeld or other abilities that similarly affect transparency.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and just for kicks here's how it looks with some material edits :>

EDIT: Oh wait, I'm stupid. It's only 3:am GMT, so I've got all day

EDIT: Ingame shot added.

 

[Direfury]

Yeah, I guess I'm done.

Hopefully not too late, either.

 

[Deolrin]

I'm sure that if you finish it up and submit it tomorrow, the judges and host will let you through.

Nice, but a little plain and monotone. The face could use some work, too.

Awesome! He looks very Gnomish.
There's a bit of a clash of colors, and the texture looks slightly blurry, though.

I'm not sure how wisp would get into that suit of armor, much less move inside it with such agility, but the texture surely looks lovely!

Yeah, I guess I'm done.

Hmm, pretty nice. The blade looks strange and rather sci-fi. The texture is also slightly blurry overall, especially that skull helmet.
