Description *edit*
Okay, I overwrote the orignal pic with an updated one because I didn't see the point in having 3 deviations in my gallery of this guy.
I continued working on it and made a number of changes and added some things. This is *probably* the final version.


Copying the rest of the desc from other post cuz I'm lazy

Blizzard is holding an art contest right now, and this is my entry for their Warcraft low-poly 3D category. It's basically a made-up alliance race. Way back when i first heard about the Burning Crusade expansion they only talked about the Blood Elves (the new horde race) and I wondered what would be the new alliance race. I was thinking about possible ideas and this is basically one of them. Of course, the Dranei race has been announced since then, so we all know what the new alliance race is going to be. But this was what I thought it could end up being.

This is loosely based on the Urisk - a mythical scottish goat/horse-man that roamed the highlands of scotland. Since most everything else in warcraft is based on some sort of mythology, I figured it'd be appropriate.

He's a little over 2000 polys (don't remember exact number). The textures are 100% hand-panted (per the requirements of the contest)

I need to pose him better, and as-usual, my lighting sucks.

Ooo very cool! YEah they like hand painted stuff. I talk to the guys from blizzard, and everyone models and textures. Pretty cool... I did a quick attempt at some WOW scene stuff... Need more practice.

Wow, that is really reminicent of the dranei, slight alterations aside it's almost identical.

thinsoldier [2006-09-12 04:24:45 +0000 UTC]

yes awesome

but I think the texture could use a little bit more 'oomph!' or something. Especially the face. I've been looking at the blizzard threads on cgtalk and polycount and I really think u should think about the texture some more maybe.
