Revenant of Purpleness

A purple Revenant. 'Twas supposed to be arcane, that being the theme of THW texturing comp #10. Anyhow, it slowly turned into the mess you see now.

His little kilt thing and his shoulder pads are team coloured.

By the way, I have no idea what the fork happened to the portrait. Because the portrait included with the texture and model in the war3.mpq isn't the portrait used in the game. Odd, no?

EDIT:The screeny isn't the newest one. Oh dear. Just a moment whilst I root through my folders for it.

Never fear, I live! Be back with updates in just a moment.

Decent, but requires in-game screenshots to be approved. (including a portrait shot please)

Yuck, portrait on revenant model is SHITTTTT (in a bad way). But yeah, awesome texture (hough it could need some contrast). Guess where it got used :P

arawrawr, tis a cool texture. All of Dusk's comments from the contest judging apply too.

Contrast: 4/8
Well, it's... Purple! That's well and good, but you do have some good contrasting colors in there with the blue on the shield and pink on the dress. The problem is that you weren't consistent with it at all and were kind of random in the colors over the whole piece. That inconsistency detracts from the overall composition.

Shading: 6/8
Your shading was pretty good, though I imagine it would've played a much larger role had the purples been lighter and more distinguishable. Black versus purple is a tough call in most cases, though on the whole you did a good job shading.

Design: 4/8
Inconsistency in the design is a big killer here. I mean, the ice mace, the blue shield, the swirlies here and there, and then the sharp edges everywhere else. It really had a good design, but it just ended up a bit choppy. There was adequate detail put into the face, though I think the revenant just has a mediocre portrait anyways. Still, I think it could've used to be more visible and imposing, it's almost impossible to make out in-game.

Creativity: 5/8
Revenant of purpleness is pretty awesome, not gonna lie. The truth, though, is that while a creative model to choose, it also served as a nice medium for you to get some wavy energy curves in there. It's those swirls on the loin cloth are really strong aesthetic points, you should have had them more uniform around the whole texture. It really would've done it wonders.

In-Game Appearance: 13/18
It's too bad you placed ice revenants that are tinted super blue for your in-game shot, but that's okay! When I tried it, in-game it retained a good portion of its detail, but was way too purple and almost melded into the blob. If you had done a few more of those light-pink swirls around the lower dress, it would've held up much better in-game.

(12/108)*50 + 32 = 37.56


So yeah, it's a bit dark, try lighten the purple up a bit and highlight the edges
of the black a bit more to really bring out the contrast.
Also see if you can't pimp out the mace a bit more.

So any updates? Also, don't forget the ingame shot.

Rather nice, I think the texture doesn't need an update, ingame screenie would be enough.

It's been nearly two weeks since an in-game screenshot has been requested. I'm giving this 24 hours.

I think ike is offline for some reason, also he is from asia so he could get his acces here blocked.
