This may not be a mythical Basilisk but it's a Warcraft Basilisk which is more useful as a War3 model. It's a little squished and lumpy however, if it got a little wider without gaining height it might help. This skin also has room for improvement. Great concept and good start but so far I say it's a 3/5
Lemme think of ways in which I've seen Basiliks portrayed
Many-legged lizard Cockatrice (Basilisks and Cockatrice were originaly the same creature, they eventualy became two seperate ones for some reason) Serpent
None of them are wrong, none are right. Its just how the person who thinks them up portrays them.
For instance, in ToS, Basilisks are grey snakes with arms and rather large eyes. The upper half of their body is held up, like in a Naga or something, and their tail constantly rattles whenever they're not attacking. They have an attack that can turn you into stone as well
In DnD however, they're fearce 8-legged lizards with a lot of spines that turn things into stone with a magical blast or somesuch
In WoW, they're territorial 6-legged creatures with several crystals growing out of their body, they can also turn things into stone
So out of those three, the only simularity is that they're reptiles and they turn things into stone
And in my opinion, the large ammount of blue gives it an oceananic/cold look, which would be fine if it was a creature I'm gonna use for oceans or in cold places, but I'm going to use it for deserts, so it'll get a bit of orange on its body to help camofladge it. Corse I probably will use the skin this one has for a cold varity, the more creatures in the icefields the better
ChirusHighwind, I try to make my models fit into wc3 and there is no "THIS IS A BASILISK". It's just a myth it can look how the hell I want it to. Just because someone interpreted it one way doesn't mean it have to look like that. In the myth it only mentions the creature as a sort of serpent. And it doesn't need to be orange just because the lameass WoW one is that.
Go make your own god damn models instead of spewing out ass comments like that.
The reason why my requests were answered? Because I hang around the TToR chat a lot =P
Anywho, nice but a bit too blue. I'll just add some more orange, maybe make it a bit plumper, then have myself a nice Basilisk ready to strike fear, terror and other such things into enemies that will soon be turned into rocks. Gotta love turning things into stone =P
Because I use the set of textures that are available to me. If you want less textures then go into the mdl and edit it yourself. The marine plasme thing is for the death animation and the flame red is for the tail.
