Masters Contest 2 [MC2] - Official

it kinda looks like a yugioh card... one of the dragon... but its diffrent still...

I'm really looking forward for some cool concepts... and hopefully not every1 will make a hero... tss...

You have an awesome imagination Nihalanor...

And that backstory is very nice.

It's a heavy unit candy... not a hero.

And someone gave me positive rep and posted a weird little poem... Seems as if they are pushing me to enter... I will... given time... although Naga isn't my peace of pie...

hell yeah... verry noce concept, and a verry nice artower as well, it looks lie the dhrimp from hell ^_^ verry verry cool.

and i just had a thought, since i will probuble not be netering on naga, maybe i could help judge naga season? i have great experience creating both concept art and custom units/heros.

I was thyinkin mevveh I could judge too, but apparently Wh wants me to enter (A test?) so, I guess my modelling and extensive (not really) skinning knowledge, and eye for poly wastage and good Poly usage may be handy...

heres my concept, I have work in 2 hours so Ill get some sleep. Ill add stats in the morning.

Monarch of the Depths

Legendary for her wild rage, the Monarch reigns over the entire ocean, crushing anyone, or anything that dares defy her. Much like Illidan, Monarchs have drunken from the well, and thus, become banished into the ocean. Yet their desire for power, and their overzealous nature has driven them to become a powerful warrior in battle.

Ability:

Thrash- whips all eight of her tenticles at rapid speed, damaging an area of enemy units.

Vehemence(passive)- Increases the attack speed, and damage of the Monarch.

Leech: The Monarch attaches herself to one enemy and slowly drains the opponents life, and mana.

Maelstrom(ultimate)- Overtaken by rage, the Monarch spins uncontrollably, creating a massive whirlpool, that damages enemy units within her range.

Naga Hero : Dragoon
--------------------------

Creative Process:




Color Research


Uncomplete Final Image:


A massive naga serpent, and champion of his people. In ages past, he was one of the highest ranking highborn warriors, skilled in both magical and martial arts. Centuries of magic deprivation has magnified the intensity of his martial training. Melee, strength based.

Snakebite: 10 second cooldown, 110 mana. A melee range physical attack that does up to 75/150/225 points of damage to an enemy, while simultaneously giving the dragoon the same amount of health.

Charge: 8 second cooldown, 90 mana. The dragoon engages an enemy at incredible speed, gaining the ability to pass through enemy or ally units on the way to the target. Additional skill points increases damage, 50/100/150 at level 1/2/3, and increases the distance over which the dragoon can charge. Enemy units that the dragoon passes through take half damage. Structures and stuns can interrupt a charge. Level 1 distance is approximately equal to blink.

Order of the Elite: Aura. All three hero stats increase by 4/8/12 at level 1/2/3. Nearby friendly heroes receive half this benefit. Affects only heroes.

Ultimate: Dragonspear. 150 mana, 60 second duration, 180 second cooldown. The dragoon's attacks become penetrating ranged attacks, in the form of geysers of water. These missles hit not only the selected target, but every enemy along the line between the target and the dragoon. The geysers do the same damage as the hero. (Think "permanent narrow shockwaves." In "stop" or "attack move" condition, he will target the nearest enemy, but the geyser attack will continue beyond it.)

The concept information is by Zeku. I had thought up this unit way before I noticed his ideas but thought it fits perfectly. Basicly he said it better than me. These are my sketches and I will try finish soon.

i like the color research especially, the colors are verry nice indeed...

he could be quite the hero-- allthough his skills arnt 'thát great, but they are nice... i would consider this a quite good entry.

i hope nakedguy will add his skills and specifics soon... i can barely wait ^^
just curiouse what he will do with that pretty drawing... i bet it has something to do with octopusses...

these are all nice, but i like ugly's pic the most, for reasons unknown...
i cant seem to find the arms for jester's pic... polo's pic needs coloring, and ugly's has a very nice coloring style

Real nice colours I have to admit, make more pics... that fish-like scale glow is awesome... wat program u use?

Marco Polaris, I'll be borrowing graphical ideas of your pic for our modified Royal Guard hero and Myrmidon models for Union. Do you mind?

I have a question, are mulitple entries possible?

Thanks erwtenpeller, you replied quickly. Nothing is finilized yet so it may change.

Shadow_Strike, most snakes and eels dont have arms, neither do dragoons.

Candy_Warlock I use photoshop 7 and painter 6 or 7 depending on my mood. Of course the first picture is a pencil sketch.

Marco Polaris, that pic looks very much like metzens concept.

you could have multiple entries, but you'd have to pick one to get judged...

there is no need to pull out one of metzens concepts for comparences-- thats like saying, hay, this one dwarf looks a bit like that other dwarf...

they are supposed to look alike, its the same race... that just means that marc pwned the naga as initially intended.

*not telling you to do anything btw*
but nagas are snakes/land dwellers, so they kinda have arms, but still, if its a totally submerged unit then i guess it doesnt need any arms
but i still like your coloring style

Land dwellers that come from under the sea? I think you'll find the Naga are more water dwellers, their home is under the seas, their bases sit in water, and most their units swin and submerge.

They can walk on ground but are sea creatures... Male nagas have 2 arms while female have 4, ionno why. and his concept is a sea creature hero (i presume) for naga and isnt a male Naga hero with no arms.
