Corrupted Ancient of War... (WIP, still...)

okay i decided to make a new thread for this update becouse the other was filling up with too much spam, i'd like to kinda start over on a fresh base for this update.

@mods: if this was wrong of me, please purge my other thread then se i can update there again.

okay here it is, i changed the keg to be more like a log or stump, the arms are woodish, the chest is rock and i made some more of them purple leaves...

and yeah the chest on the portrait is the most horrible wrap ever, its somekind of cruel blizzard-joke or something... i can hear them jack: nananaananna u cant change my paaaanda!
bastards...
the chest on the portrait wraps with half the chest, half the back... its absurd.

enjoy ^^

*update* added the completed skin to this post, its right here, RIGHT HERE!!



and heres the reference i used, the original currupted ancient of war. note that i didnt want them to be the same or anything, i just used it as a source of inspiration. i post it here now for those who forgot what the corrupted ancient looks like or those that just.. never knew.

my PBM has some yellow in it... i thought that'd be nice, the reference has not.

wo.... psychedelic almost, it think all in all it looks very good, except the chest doesn't look like rock i think, I love the color choice. the yellow on the keg is a good eye catcher.

I think it looks wonderful!
Since I'm not any good at skinning I can't give any suggestions, but it looks awesome and it's still WIP, wow..!

Vagabond-
(Your avatar pwnz)

thnx you two, its appriciated.

oh and vagabond, isnt vagabond spelled vagebond? or is that just in dutch... i'm confused now...

thnx for commenting on the ava as well, btw :D

sooo.... anyone have some critiques on this? if not i'll just go finish it... hopefully tonight.

Well, in Swedish Vagabond is like a lowlife, abit like your avatar, an filthy person, you know, like those you see on the street begging for money or food.
(Hope you didn't get me wrong, I didn't mean that I hate lowlifes)

Vagabond-

hmmmyeah thats what it is in dutch too... yet its spelled vagebond... bah, its probubly pronounced the same or something whatever...

lets not get too off topic here, i didnt start a new thread for nothing, i dont want this one to end up all spam... u wanna spam, give some rep ^^ lol

nice one! is it 100% freehand or some cnp? it doesen't look very cnpish... looks really good! but i can't figure out what the chest is meant to look like... bark? if yes, it doesen't look like bark for the moment... GJ anyway!

erw would never cnp... would he?

nah, i dont doubt him, he doesnt cnp

it looks great tho, soo... how the hell do you fix the chest?

no... there was no cnp, i dont do that... well i did it one time, i cnped the DH panda icon of his weapon onto the axe of my panda lumberjack..

this one is all original

the chest is supposed to be pink leafs, the belly is... well i dunno, stone or something... i thought it looked cool :\ lol... i still have to slap a texture onj it or something... make it less smooth, make it look more weathered and more like rock or something, wich, i guess, was the idea ^ ^''

and shadow what do you mean by 'fix the chest'?

if you are referring to the silly wrapping... its verry weird indeed and i didnt fix anything...


what it does, is ingame, it just mirrors the chest piece, and mirrors a back piece, to make a complete back and chest...

now on the portrait ot goes weird, on the portrait it seems to use the chests texture on the left, but the bakcs texture on the right...

i cant make them simulair becouse of the wrapping on theback, wich repeats some of the same segment over and o0ver again... kind of silly, really... i guess its just another blizz-wrap-fuck-up or something.

so i have just accepted the silly flaw on the chest in the portrait-- nothing i can do really...

Thats really cool! He looks really angry, although he doesn't look like much of a tree. I think you should make his legs a bunch of roots.

That would require model editing too. GJ ert, you're getting better and better and better. This skin started out kinda weird, but now it's looking great. Good luck.

yeah this was really one of those things i could see completed before i even started... like in a vision... there where details i needed to figure out but i was sure this silly idea would look extremely cool...

his legs a bunch of roots... i could try that a little, but the problem is he doesnt have legs, only feet... i could make the feet roodish, but u'll never see them ingame... i do plan on doing something like that though, as you can see, at the bottom of the 'skirt' i've made two purple thingies... those things will be the purple wood like the arms and stuff, and tyhey will be imbedded in those pink leafs. i think i'll make the little tail leafish too, i'm gonna try and make the ears more pointy, and i want to turn his bottles into mushrooms... the shape is just about there, and with some optical illusion through skinning i think i can make em look like mushrooms..

theres just one problem i'm wrestling with... how would i do his stick? should i make it black with maybe some purple leafs, like its an extention of the arm, or should i make it like the purple wood? i'm not sure...>''<

and well, hes not really supposed to look like a tree.... hes just inspired by the corrupted ancient... purple, woodish, evil... thats about it i guess lol ^ ^

Hot dam. Dam that would look so cool ingame. Imagine the summersault spell thing he does and then he turns into the tree version. HAHA cant wait to see it finished VERY wc3, I mean its exactly like there style. Ur becoming a great skinner ert wait wait, erw. U need a logo lol. No comments going PERFECT.

Stone staff would rockzorz.

Very good Erwt... very good.

I like how you used the downward slanting eyebrows to make him evil...

Blizz screws up alot... just look at the Paladin.

Stone staff would be great...

and a though just hit me... Arthas would make a Great Sigfried with the Soul Caliber from the game of that name...

icbm1987

i dont really play fighting games accept for super smash bros and super smash bros mellee.... all other fighters i seem to find too easy, especially on playstation... pick one of the girls, just bash all buttons in random orders to spam combos and BAM u win... 2 easy.

and icbm, i skinned the paladin, and to be honest... his wrap is AWESOME compared to this LOL... at the panda, just look at the diffrence between the portrait and the in game face... the hat, the face, the chest, it all wraps diffrently >''<

oh and thnx yeah... i'll try and make that stone staff... i figured that would be best too. i wanna add some more yellow... anyone know where? i was planning to make two 'glow holes' on his shoulderblades, that would look neato, but any more suggestions about that?..

a logo eh?
it shall be done...
