New single player campaign: Sloths and Goblins

I've almost completed a new campaign utilizing Sloths (yes, the slow moving mammals that sleep all day) and Goblins as two new races. I have the script done, the maps programmed, and I have the voices complete. I am a theater major and have done quite a bit of the acting myself, but I have gotten other theater or film majors to assist me. I currently have five levels and an interlude for the goblin campaign and plan to do one more before I release it. My units are set, my abilities are excellent, my buildings are done; all I really need is artists.
What I need: I am a mediocre skinner but an abysmal modeler. I'll spend hours on a model and it will still suck eggs. If anyone would be willing to assist me I need a few changes done to normal War III models. If a skinner thinks that this idea is interesting I would love to make you part of my project.
Main modeling jobs: I need someone to take the Wendigo/Sasquash model and take away the horns (these are the basic sloth models) and if possible flatten the faces. I have multiple sloth pictures to work off of if need be. I also would like someone to do some editing on the goblin models I am currently using (I split the sappers into three and I also am using tiny forest trolls right now, don't knock it. It works well.) If anyone is interested please send me a private message, reply here, or (best option) email me at [email protected]. Thank you to anyone who would like to take part in this exciting project.

Post Script: I'm currently performing in Hamlet and am quite busy between my play and finals so I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Sloths? Why on earth them?

Simple, Sloths are the world's coolest creatures. They only have one natural predator (the jaguar) who can only kill a sloth when it is going to the bathroom (which it does once every two weeks.) They are the only creatures that successfully evolved by becoming SLOWER than their predators, and they have three-inch claws and are still soft and fuzzy. A better question would be WHY NOT SLOTHS? I'm surprised that these amazing creatures haven't gotten better publicity before hand. Also, think how embarrassing it would be to have your amazingly powerful undead scourge wiped off the face of the earth by an army of creatures that sleep 20 hours a day.

Ok... But, how does these big time sleepers fit into a campaign, with Goblins, the coolest race in the entire WC world!

Will you have those giant prehistoric sloths that didnt climb trees, the ones that looked like sloths but stood like bears, about 9-10 feet tall?

I think the sloths could fit perfectly into the WC3 world (im assuming theyre intelegent) some kind of very tough species that very few dare pick a fight with, but generaly stay out of confict themselves. While sloths are very cool theyre not the best creature, thats reserved for squids (appart from humans obviously)

Why yes I do. I have already created the Giant ground Sloth This is a huge siege unit with the model based off of the furbolg champion. It has a normal attack as well as a long-range siege attack (it throws huge rocks at buildings and air units.)
Just as a teaser the sloth history goes back to when the burning legion first broke into the Warcraft world. The night elves fought the legion and raised pet sloths to become mighty warriors. The elves showed the sloths their magical lore and love for nature. After the first war the intelligent sloths (led by Jubbles, the Sloth Lord) were put to sleep until the night elves would need them again. When the legion attacked again (In the world of The Frozen Throne ) the night elves awakened the sloths and requested their aid, but the sloths had become angry at their long sleep and rebelled against their night elf masters and formed their own society. Various bits of Night Elf culture still remain (the sloth base is a tree, sloths revere nature, ect...) but the sloths are now a completely different race. Through various events the sloths became a much more violent race than before and also have developed substantially more sinister powers…

Now that everyone has the history and a bit of storyline, I yet again send out a plea for Modelers and Skinners! I am a Performance artist, not a visual one and I simply can't complete this project without assistance!
