Wow! I'm not sure if I deserve all that praise. I'm sure you could have done it yourself in Nifskope now.
I have to go with S?ance as the name. Phantomess keeps looking like phanto-mess in my head.
That's a cool design for the character. Be sure to take you time skinning this one to make it pop.

I'm a street-walking cheetah with a heart of napalm!

I can't help it that I look so good baby! I'm just a love machine!

I agree.  Awesome skin and skope.

Is the cloak going to match the bonice? It looks great either way!

I had an idea similar to this for my el-diablo counterpart - instead of fire he's cold based. He'd be unable to control his abilities and would require some kind of device to regulate them. He'd be constantly cold to the touch - to the point where contact would cause freeze-burn. He'd be like man-bot in his melancholy ways/. However - my Eve character would be immune to cold- leading to a relationship; and his cold heart would melt....awwww.....

So yeah - there's going to be men, Invader is the first of at least 6. I just enjoy skinning females because they're my specialty. I've chosen the womenswear pathway at University and working with Freedom Force skins is helping me to visualise dress-makers patterns. (well i feel like it is helping me, anyway.)

I'm actually wanting keeping the cloak black - does it look odd?

Lol - phanto-mess. I guess S?ance is her name now. I'm taking my time for sure. I'm currently working on my x-men skins so originals will be put on the backburner for a lil' while.

Thanks LP.

Okay, since I'm most likely going to have to stop skinning for a while after this week - I'm going to push and try and get a start on my X-men resdesign. Heres' a WIP of Phoenix.
Spoiler

I'm adding a headpiece like her 90's costume which will have another, smaller phoenix logo emblem (if re-sizing keeps the clarity). Still undecided on a mesh, hence female_longhair. whatever i do decide, I will need to skope a X symbol and belt onto it. Gloves and boots are going to be added, with hopefully wing details skoped on to them (similar to batman's gloves, but a bit more rounded - like the emblem wings).

Black and gold - Not sure If it's going to be team colours or just for phoenix, but I think it works on Jean for sure.

Blkcasanova247

Nice one Artemis. :thumbup: Two things...you might wanna try blending torso and lower body parts of the skin a little more unless your giving her a sash and maybe put this great skin on Inks Phoenix mesh....I think the results will be much better IMO. ;)

EDIT: Saw the part where you said you were adding belt. :doh: Sorry man...was at work and couldn't stay on for long therefore didn't read properly. :P

I'm with Blkcasanova, using a more... "comic" mesh like ink's ones should better the creation.

Another thing (i suggest) is to change the final part of the wings. Usually Phoenix logo is creating a (not exactly correct) triangle.

I like the final work over "leather" what about some boots?

Good work and i'll be waiting for your work ^.~

Cyber Burn

S?anceis really cool, great design. also suggesting Ink's female meshes. i think that hteyd do more justice to the character.

Outcast

I agree with the other guys. If it's an X-men redesign, i think it would help a lot to use meshes that are dedicated to these characters. :)

And of course, your original character Seance looks really good. Nice design.  :cool:

Artemis

Looks like FF skinning is going to be a little less frequent. I've got to start on my mind-numbingly boring University research brief before I go back, honestly fashion trends make me zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

So A preview of what's quite likely to be an un-finished project . I'm pretty uninspired by it...when I get back to skinning I'm probably going to focus on my originals again.






Phoenix is the only one I'm happy with costume wise...maybe I should give up on the team-look and go for individual colour schemes - I like the balck and gold for phoenix but without any accents Ororo, Betsy and Alison look rather bleh. I do like Psylocke's face though, I think it's probably the best of the four - and Dazzler looks pretty PO'd. Not sure why that happened :S

And I did pay attention to everyone's suggestion of Ink meshes. I even skoped a headpiece onto his Warbird mesh for phoenix - But try as i might I could not get the belt to skope properly - it always came out tilted no matter how many times I rotated it and altered it. I wanted to break something so I gave up. When I can be bothered I will Upload a photo - I just forgot to right now and PS takes a while to load for me....time to remove some pointless stuff from harddrive methinks.

Artemis

Here are some of the first attempts at skopes, Phoenix still needs a belt, goves and boots. Storm needs her classic headpiece and some jewels and a choker. (The wing capes are C6 standards.)




Podmark

Hmm cool designs. I look forward to seeing all the finished products.

Excellent work on the skin tones, you've got them just right. I can tell you aren't as inspired by these. They don't look as interesting as your original characters.

miguelyanke

I like your Storm idea ^_^ (but, why only one shoe?)

You could add some hair in front of Jeany's hair ^_^ she'll look beter

Outcast

Looking good so far for WIPs.  The costume designs are nice. I'm sure they will look a lot better when you're finished with them. :)

Artemis

Thanks everyone. I'm putting my skinning on the backburner now that Uni has started again. Really exciting project coming up with Topshop - possible internship placements are rewards I'm thinking...so it's time to really buckle down and see if I can get to where I want to be.

Tbh, I'm not totally sure I'll be able to get back into skinning for a while. But I have to thank everyone at FR who made creating for FF a pleasurable experience and to Ewzzy especially as he's been a great help with nifskope and the amazing S?ance skope.

@miguelyanke: I didnt even realise storm only had one shoe. lol. Obviously that will be fixed when (if?) i get back onto the skins. Thanks for pointing it out.
@Ewzzy: I am really ahppy with the skintones. If that's all I take away from the skins then I'm quite happy - I've always struggled with non- caucasian skins not looking 'right' to me.
@murs: Thanks alot mister Murs.
@podmark: I do hope i get back to skinning them. If not maybe I can work on a mini 'superheroine' collection for my portfolio; some garment flats and fashion illustrations of the above could look quite interesting - body-con is in right now and you don;t get more body-concious than spandex and leather ;)

Again thanks for taking the time to comment on my work guys, I truly appreaciate it.

Allow me to be the first to say "She sells seas shells by the sea shore."  :thumbup:

It's a bummer to see you go, Artemis. I usually don't post much in the way of critiques, but I have to say that I've really enjoyed your skins. There's something about them that makes them stand out, and I like it. Good luck at Univeristy!
