CamJH's Creation Thread

This one already goes into "the twisted mod I have to make to include this awesome unit" file.

I've finished a couple of the animations for the Wood Elf, and while I was messing around with Poser I also put together this model...

I've still got other models stewing in the pot, but they still need some work before I start posting previews.

I'm a little stupid and confused, but I presume this is not a wood elf?

 

[Olorin0222]

No, this guy is

 

[Stormrage]

Lookin` good unit-masta BadKharma has a good point about the blade, tho

Mithadan, thats a Dark Elf, a relative of Blondie the Tree Hugger

 

[Partizanac]

uuuuuuuuuuu...
I will use that Spear (wood) Elf, for me mod definitely! thanks man!

 

[CamJH]

As mentioned above this guy is a separate unit from my Wood Elf unit. I oftentimes like to work on more than one unit at a time just to keep things from getting stale.

As Stormrage pointed out, the new unit is a Druchii (dark elf) named Shadowblade. He's a bit different than the typical sword/shield or spear/shield character, and so I thought he'd be a fun character to animate.

I'll lighten up the metal along the sword blade to add some contrast. I was thinking the same thing after looking over the rendering. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Stormrage]

Be sure to make him sneaky! He`z got ninjer skillz!

 

[CamJH]

He's got all kinds of skills... nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills...

 

[Stormrage]

Them all be Ninjer Skillz! He`s a sneaky git, as Hobgobbos would say!

Shadowblade is coming to get ya! Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!

So the sound to accompany the victory animation will be "whatever I want, ...gosh!", right?

I would have a place for the new guy, if only he did not have the forearm blade (though it is cool ) You could really increase his usability for mods by either getting rid of it or making a version without it. Just a thought... I have no idea the extra work entailed in complying with a cavalier and ignorant suggestion like that would be though

 

[Stormrage]

Hey egroen, what if he had a dagger in his left hand instead of the blade bracer? Would that work?

Holy shiznit!

 

[CamJH]

I added the bracer blade because I saw it on this model (along with the other assassin models), and found a prop that would work for it.

If you guys would prefer a dagger, I could certainly re-work the model some.

 

[Stormrage]

I`m happy with it as it is

 

[Mithadan]

Oh, I remember that Wood Elf now! Sweet.

The Dark Elf is wicked looking too, but I daresay it would be a more versatile unit if it had a dagger instead of that bladebracer thingamajig.

 

[Blue Monkey]

If you want, make a second version, but definitely release the version with that wicked blade!

 

[CamJH]

I've updated the first post with a preview of the updated version (lighter sword blade). I'll keep the model as it is, with the bracer instead of a dagger. I realize that this will probably limit its use in other scenarios or mods, but since it was originally intended for WH instead of a general unit, I think it's fair to keep it as close as I can to the original concept. I figure it's like my Chaos Halberdier in that respect, not really worth much outside of it's intended use, but still fun to make. Besides, I'm sure I'll have plenty of other units that will be more versatile coming up.

 

[Stormrage]

The new blade looks much better! Thanks!

Some of the various Chaos units will end up being foot soldiers for the Rakshasas one day in the Bharata mod.
