Allrighty then!

Since I'm down to ~1day modding time left, I'm gonna post the WIPs of our guy now.

Hope ya don't mind, Kyrb :)

The general aesthetic was based on this guy, however it's just inspiration - our guy will be quite different :).

Starting at roughly 10am, it's now roughly 4pm.

First WIP: the head.


Second WIP: body. Upper torso taken from Headhunter, skull rack taken from Shadow Hunter Portrait, feet from Witchdoctor. All else made from scratch.


Third WIP: added weapon


Fourth WIP: wrapped, exported and edited. Shown in Magos.


Finally, the wrap for anyone who is interested:

*phew* OK, now back to work!

Some sort of bird shaman...?
Or a beaked grim reaper?

It's wearing a beaked mask, but it's going to be undead judging by my chat with AR.

Neat AR. I really look forward to this hero of yours (and your partner)

-Av3n

Holy shit I didn't knew AR was a modeler too :O...*faints*
I'll have to work extra hard on this one to keep up.

Just need to animate this fekker and I'm done.

Oh hey, Whitehorn's back :D

For the record, you were right - 256 res > 512 res for ingame purposes. Wish I'd listened back then :P

...

Also - model that badboy for real, I dare ya!

Chaos Warriors were so last year.

Not sure what I'm going to be contributing yet.

Here is the textures of my hero. I was not thinking to make a custom texture but i did one for the fun and i think it can be cute ;)

Hmm... well your model could go several ways I think Whitehorn. It could be a human knight (I would say the race is in need of a hero like that), if you changed the proportions on the knight and emphasized the shoulder pads with spikes more, he could be an orc, and I think a skinnier, slightly more dark version with a skeleton face could pass as a good undead general.
That is, of course, if you use it for the contest.

Holy shit I'm almost finished - in just over 12 hours :>
Just gotta make a portrait, turn the decay anims into dissipate anims and fiddle with particles.

Oh and yeah, the cloak is Team Colour xD

Abriko: Nice, I like the gold trim :)

Oh Holy Cow. That is so freakin' schweet. Went to bed with a WIP head, woke up to a completed model. Win <3

~~~

Again, schweet. Although I'm sure you'd rather not go back (esp. with the other stuff I PMed you about), the robe seems rather... simple (?). More finials and doodads and skulls n' stuff, like...

Eh?

Oh yeah, and if you don't mind, I'm just going to reveal what the hero is (whoops, already did that. :P)
~~~

Under Ruler: Nice Dreadlord skin. I like the gold, although it could use more/less saturation (i.e. I really don't know what I'm talking about. :P)

What the..., Anemic models? What's going on here?

As said by Kyrbi0 the robe is rather simple, doesn't look too heroic.

Check my avatar for my hero, soon shall I start modeling him.

I am entering too, and will actually put effort into shit I am making :O
