September 2012 Custom Content Challenge: Arabian Nights

               Love it! Nice surprise, OTR.

Long time back, I played with using the last part of the 'climbing' animation from (I think) Vaie's. This is the animation CRAP used, for climbing a rope from a pit, etc. That last part has the person crawling up onto a surface. Used with a zombie on flat terrain, it looks like they are climbing right outta the earth or a grave!
Alas, I lost that long ago, and never tried to do it again, but perhaps somebody else will?

A shoe as a weapon you can throw.

FP!

Hey, didn't Estelindis do that in the June 2011 Challenge? '>

Christopher Lee would work great as well. Especially with that headdress

Indeed, that is a sharp headdress -- a great find, Shemsu!


OTR, that is really cool! You and Frith are reminding me a bit of The Krit's Low-impact Zombie Corpses from a few years back. It's not quite the same, but a somewhat similar concept.

               Well what do you know! A shoe you -can- throw!

Guess that leaves more time for someone to do a rooftop tileset.

FP!

               For anyone interested in arabian design I came across a tutorial, on deviantArt, split into 2 parts.

arabesque made easy part 1 and arabesque made easy part 2

Hope these may be of use to someone.

               I have finished to modeling and texturing of the evil vizier/sorcerer head based on Christopher Lee in "Arabian adventure"; But i have tried a version with pointed beard. Because I thing that could locks more evil. But I'm not sure what loocks better. 
What do you Thing?

               @Shemsu-Heru & @Amethyst Dragon: Great stuff!

@Bard Simpson - Thank you for the link!  That is exactly what I was thinking of.

@Frith5 - Thanks, that gives me some ideas.  I don't think I'm good enough to make a similar animation, but the anims I made just don't look good enough so maybe I'll try.

Great work Shemsu '> Might be best to keep both for greater variety.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Shemsu-Heru]

               Considering that the number of heads available in game is limited; And there is a little difference between both; I don't think that will result in more variety....

I like the one on the right with the darker hair/beard, but the pointed cone of the beard just looks, to me, a bit too artificial compared to the rest of the head.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Shemsu-Heru]

               You are right, I'm still working on it....
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Bard Simpson]

               Well, the complete nature (shape) of the second head's beard may be less than perfect; but I still think the overall effect is dynamite. Well done, Shemsu!

               Stab #2 at  Harryhausen's Argonauts skeletons.  Good enough and move onto other anims/textures/etc?  Not good enough, keep refining?

               OTR, I really like this second animation. I also liked the cloud of dust effect from the first shot; perhaps the effect would be good with the new animation. Otherwise, I'd call this a winner.

This will make for some very cool encounters! I'm loving the nostalgic feel, reminding me of those movies I enjoyed when I was a kid -- and it's quite a job to get me to remember that far back.
