Steel Gladiator skinning contest

Steel Gladiator skinning contest

Yes, here he is in his full glory, and variations. He needs a skin. I'll probably end up skinning him myself later, but if you fancy trying a scratch made texture for a brand new model, here is your chance!

This is the full version. I will also be doing versions with:
1 shoulder pad
1, or different weapons
different head (helmetless).

1 thing: specify which side is the front.

Most likely left, but its weird to skin a new model without seeing how your skin is wrapping exactly.

Heres's mine, It's mostly freehanded, and has two filter, that I went over agian with the dodge and burn technique. It looks like a geomerge of the Beastmaster, with a modified footman's head. Cool idea. http://img76.exs.cx/img76/5829/Scarp.jpg

And that is why you are a newbie.

½ little question, why are there holes, if there's nothing inside the helmet

WH, there will be at least one acceptable texture, im making one too

Just dark sockets, there's no actual hole.

ok, thank you

I am probaly going to modify it, so don't count me out. What do you mean by "And that is why you are a newb", I took offense to that. I don't want any trouble just don't call me a ewb. I take things very personaly.

Well, you are a newbie, and I was referring to yo thinking this is a merge. It's scratch made.

No, I've been playing WarCraft since 1996. I just noticed that this can be done in the vertex modifier. I've made several scatch made models, but they need more work. It looked weird because of the animation\stance.

Heres my updated version, http://img45.exs.cx/img45/5121/Image557.jpg

Please stop posting your crap. That is useless.

You made a contest so people can enter right? So I entered, you should at least say whats wrong with the skin, I've never made a skin from scratch before. How is it useless? I deserve some respect as an entrant. I have nothing against you, but you need to lighten up.

Whitehorn can you alpha the axes?

my progress.

i dont know how to upload pics in these forum even thou its probably really easy, so i have uploaded it in art section and placed the link here.

i only created the shape of it, theres no textures because making textures is something i can only do once the entire shape is complete are if i see a crude skin version of it then i can select the texture i'm going to use then apply them to the skin.
i work better if i have a skin example so that i can create mine over the top of it, like what i'm doing at the moment on another model idea my friend is making for me.
