Quote from: BentonGrey on December 13, 2018, 05:32:32 AMHey Panther Gunn, I tried to send you the following via PM, but your inbox is full!


My inbox is always full.

Sorry I haven't given you an update yet, I was waiting to be at a point where you could choose between images (not quite there yet).  For those first three villains, finding decent, bronze-modern era art of the right size & pose of lesser used characters has been more of a challenge than I had thought.  I think I have something that will work for the first two, but the Mist is tough.  He's not frequently drawn upright, and a lot of his panels are on the small side.  I've found that I don't have any copies of the Starman series that he made more recent appearances in.  I haven't given up, and I haven't checked Google yet (since that's always a mixed bag of relevance, quality, and size).  Libby is at the other end, it's an embarrassment of riches with her appearances, but again, smaller panels or poses that don't work.  I'm only 6 issues into All Star Squadron (I'm *not* abbreviating that), so I've still got plenty to work with.  I'll get these four ready & send you what I have for your thoughts before I move on the the rest.

Did you have any particular timeline you need them by, or any particular order?  Abra, Blitzkreig, and Icicle should be easy enough (I say that now), but if memory serves me right, Slipknot & Javelin might be on the obscure side (although I think Slipknot was in Suicide Squad for a while).  And what did you have in mind for the Haunted Tank?  The tank itself, the gunner on top of the tank, or something else?

So, I got the various HF packs y'all sent me, and they've been a help, but I know I had some really massive HF packs for  :ff:.  Does anyone have those?  I'm sure I could adapt some FF 1 HFs for characters that I don't know well.  It's helpful just to have a base.  Makes the process less daunting!

I've got a zip from Alex's from '04, and a zip of what I *think* is from Kraven in '03 - he leaned more towards Marvel but this one does have some DC in it.

No worries man!  I appreciate you taking so much trouble over this, but don't put yourself out too much on my account!  :)  Yeah, there isn't a ton out there for the Mist, so we may just have to take what we can get.

The timeline and order are very flexible.  These guys are all built-in now, so I can just slot the portraits as they come in.  They just need to be done by the time I release the mod, which won't be for quite a while.  If you're willing, I'll keep sending you the occasional request to add to the list as I go through new batches of character additions.

Yeah, I think there's good art out there for them, at least in Google.  Slipknot was in Suicide Squad...briefly. Ha!  He actually was the one they used to show that the explosive bands actually worked!  :lol:

Good question about the Haunted Tank!  I actually meant to specify that but forgot.  Ideally, I'd like something that showed the Tank and some of the crew, maybe something like this:

Thanks PG!

I've collected a lot of Hero Files over the years, for both FF1 and FFvt3R, not to mention all of my own that I've experimented with as well. Let me grab my files, put them together, and upload them, and then you're more than welcome to do with them as you please. Fair warning though, there are a lot of duplicates.

Just give me about 5 - 10 minutes...

Ok, a little longer than 5 - 10 minutes, but hopefully you could find something in this mess that will help you out.

BentonGrey

I'm sure I will, and no hurry!  Thanks CB!
God Bless

Okay, here's another new one.  Will someone with more Photoshop-fu than me (i.e., anyone), give me an 'evil' version of the Freedom Fortress textures?  I'm going to use the building as the headquarters of the Crime Synidcate, so I"m thinking blacks, blues, reds, you know.  Maybe a "CSA" on their logo.  As before, I'll send the volunteer the textures.

Here are all the Hero Files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/521r8rvhamjssur/All_Hero_Files_-_FF1_and_FFvt3R.7z/file

If no one else volunteers, I "might" be able to give the fortress a try in between christmas and new years, barring any further problems...

Deaths Jester

<- is already to busy with Benton's endless lists of beggings to attack the fortress...

Wait, wasn't there a JLA Hall obj/map piece already out there?!?

...didn't I do a CSA texture for a table? Of course, these days I can't remember last week so...

BentonGrey

Thanks CB!  I'm sure that will be a big help!

There's no particular hurry.  This is just an aesthetic detail, not something I need to finish the mission itself.

Haha, DJ, just wait until I hit you with something else!  :P  I'm not sure about the Hall of Justice object...maybe?

DG....MAYBE?  I'm honestly not sure.  It seems like we talked about that.  I think you made my JLA table, though.

Hey guys, what do we have in the vein of lava monsters?  I'd like a more JLU-style look for the Fire Trolls in the DCUG:
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/aquaman/images/1/1c/Fire-Trolls-DCAU.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/185?cb=20110903061101

I am almost positive that there is something out there that will work for this, but I can't remember it.

Afghan Ant's Magma Man might work. You'd have to take the belt off and change the shorts, but he should do.

DM's Mindless Ones would also work if they were reskinned.

Tomato



Magmaman over Clayface mesh works just fine. Someone just needs to kittbash it so the shorts aren't there.

spydermann93

Magmamen are so hot right now

BentonGrey

Ohh, yeah, that would be darn perfect.  Would a kitbash be okay on that?  If so, would someone do that for me?

I've done my own version which is just full of textures really so not much skinning.

Side by side with AA's. If hes ok with you using his then that's fine as his looks a lot cleaner but mine will do if not.

Great work on both versions, Dean!  We'll just use yours, and if AA gets back to me, we'll worry about the other one then.

Thanks to all of y'all who chipped in with ideas and help!

Howdy guys, DJ is working on the Hawkman villain, Lion-Mane, and we're trying to find a good object to serve as the titular mane.  Any ideas?

I think Tommyboy has a piece that might be close. Check in his Marvel section, and look at the "Leo" Mesh. (I think that's what it's called)

So, what's out there for:

Yup, just need to Skope some new weapons onto them.

Vertex did both Johnny Quick I and Uncle Sam. That reminds me, I need to look at that beard...

"Bobby69" did The Human Bomb. I've seen Firebrand II by Tommy, although I've thought of putting her on a Grenadier scope. I've seen Pied Piper someplace (Tommy?), and Kenn has a Sargon and a Monacle at Freedom Fortress. Gimme a little while and I'll send you the Vertex/69 stuff.

For the Fearsome Five members, how did you feel about the ones in the old Teen Titans mod?  I thought they were well done (but haven't looked at them in quite a while).  The mod also had some H.I.V.E. solders in their old purple suits.

And I'd also recommend Tommy's Pied Piper.  Original appearance look, with several instruments to choose from.

I had this idea running through my head about the H.I.V.E troopers.
I thought you could use cyber's as generals and mine as grunts :)

Those are just beautiful Deanjo! Looking at mine now, I think I need to hang my head down in shame  :puppyeyes:

Yours are truly fantastic, so vibrant. I'm seriously envious here. I'm re-doing mine to add a bit of variety, I think I'm going to need a real Skinner for them.

I originally did a Phobia on an old female_versatile (I believe it was), it was hexed or Skoped/updated by Detourne_Me (if I recall correctly) with my skin on a Grenadier mesh.  Phobia was later meshed and skinned again by ?, but I know it was done.
