This is a different sort of request. I need a model for a unit in my upcoming Jungle Troll race/project, which will be called the Jungle Dartmon.
However, I already made this a Request a while back, and got it fulfilled... Kinda. The modeller decided to take a much more generic take on the concept than one would normally think.
So I need this model:
Modifed more to fit this concept:
The Original Concept
(concept art by BHav?)
Some Info I dredged from the Custom Race Topic:
Quote:
The basic idea is (dangit, can't open up OH files to quote them directly) a thin, wiry Troll fighter (thinner than a normally-thin Troll, but muscular, sort of). He's super-agile and acrobatic, can attack and move equally as well on hands or feet. Mask = ?, Feathers = ?, Bones-in-skin = ?, Leather = ?, Facepaint = ?, Tattoos = ?. Use your imagination?
He can Crawl on the ground, Climb into Trees, and just generally be Trollish. Very sinuous and agile (already said that, didn't I?)
His weapon is a ~6-ft long "quarterstaff". He uses it to whack enemies (melee, simple enough). However, when he has Climbed into a Tree, he uses it as a super-Blowgun and fires deadly darts from his "quarterstaff/blowpipe". Which means he probably needs a "dart-belt" across one shoulder with all his darts on them.
(with proper animations, could even whack enemies holding the staff in his feet!)
I imagine this guy Crawling up to you unseen, jumping up and kicking your face in with his staff, then Climbing up a tree like a monkey and firing darts down on your sorry head. Pwn. (he's the "T3 ownage device", if you couldn't tell. I always feel that the "ownage device" should be the epitome of it's race).

For the Tiki Warrior/Wall Crawler: combine the Tiki Warrior with the now defunct Wall Crawler. A slim Troll that wears a Tiki mask that has feathers sticking out from the side, he is hunched over and walks, or rather sprints, on all fours. When walking he carries a long staff on his back; he uses a variety of 'flips to attack'. For example one of his attack anims could have him standing on his hands and using his feet to hold the staff, followed by a return to the neutral position on all fours. The [Jungle Dartmon] is very fast and replaces the normal tier 3 "Hulk" unit; Trolls emphasize on speed rather than strength.

Jungle Dartmon:
T3 Ownage Device of the Trolls
= the epitome of all that is Troll (embodies all Trollish aspects)
Is armed with a Blowgun / Quarterstaff (ideally uses both)
- Has a Melee attack vs. Ground
- Has an (upgradeable) Ranged attack vs. Air
Has Crawl, Acrobatics, and Climb
- Crawl = upgradeable, like all others
- Acrobatics = unit-version of Drunken Brawler; chance to crit / evade
- Climb = Target a tree, climbs into tree. While climbing in tree, is permanently invisible, and rapidly fires darts from his blowgun (vs. air + ground)
Other stuff... Check the OH Compendium for Troll Concept Art; there's a bit in there on this guy
- Other than that... A cloak made of leaves/vines might be nice? Bones in skin? Tattoos? Dreadlocks? I'm not sure what kind of features he should have?
- Ideally very agile and "trollish".
There were some significant changes made as progress went along, like a staff made out of a big lizard's Femur bone. :P
I'm willing to work with whoever is generous enough to help out; could be just some simple geomerging and editing, or some scratch bits (for the bone staff), and possibly some anim-work. Meh.
