Timmverse Atomic Skull skin- your friendly neighborhood Revenant...

[the_ultimate_evil]

just curious were you able to fix the probelms with some aspects of the joker mesh appearing darker in character tool than in game

[Revenant]

Thanks cvc, the face is going to get some more work done on it.. I am using a certain ref pic for it but it's been kinda rough getting it to look right

Ultimate_evil, I used the emissive color trick in NifSkope to brighten up some of those dark areas while skinning.  I haven't tried him in game yet though.

Here are the latest skins, first using Symon's great advice for obtaining a wiremap for meshes, this Thing skin is done on the FFvs3R snow man mesh.  I'v ewanted to do it for a while, I'm a big fan of skinning the Irrational Meshes, and using non-male_basic based ones wherever possible (I like variety I guess)  Then Hawkgirl Kendra (based on app in JL by Ed Benes) done on a Vertex female with heels and shirt, and a bunch of Frankensteined pieces.  I think female characters wearing heels is important.  I don't know why.

[Ganymede Zero]

Great thing skin! I like the detail you put into his costume.

[BatWing]

sweet a ult thing!
i hope theres susan and torch next!

[Previsionary]

Pretty cool skins, Rev. Where were you when I was planning my abandoned ultimates/ultimate MU mod? Anyway, may I ask what mesh thing is on? Something about it makes the skin look a little off to me. :S

Hey previsionary, oops! I was ninja'd!!  :P
Is it the feet that look off?  I am planning on skinning them to work around that toe deformity the Snow man seems to possess.  I'll probly do the skin on a traditional Thing mesh too, eventually, for it's head-sculpt accuracy.

[BatWing]

i ninjad!!? :ph34r:

yeah the thing looks like he got 2 toes and yeah

hmm so that makes it look normal in CT, you'll have to show me how you did that, i dont play any more and just do skins for art now for about the past year or so, thats why i stopped skinning tommys joker, cause i could just preview it if you know what i mean.

[ElijahSnowFan]

wow. i am LOVING that Hawkgirl skin.

great work, as always...just amazing.

[Monkeyman]

Yay im so glad someone has finally updated hawkgirl's skin! Looks awesome as always. :thumbup: :thumbup:

[UnkoMan]

OH MAN YES! YOU USED THE SNOWMAN MESH!

I kept planning different characters to skin on this mesh (check out my Super Cracker redesign in the art forum) but not doing them... It's great, really. The idle pose is awesome.

Wire maps for those meshes, eh? That would be very useful indeed. As some may know, I share your love of skinning Irrational's meshes. I like it when a character has a very unique shape and keyframes. It just gives them more personality.

As for the skin itself... It's very bright. I looks almost... more cartoony than your regular skins. It's a little awkward in places, like the mouth, but I don't know if that's just because of the mesh or not. The rocks look more like cracked clay than jutting stone. That may be due to artist reference. Still though, it's pretty good.
Gosh, I say pretty good, but that's in context of your skinning specifically. In general context it flippin'... wait for it... rocks! Still, if you went back and touched it up, you could probably give it that extra kick. At least add shadows to wear the body suit ends. Don't be all forgetting shadows like I keep doing...

Hawkgirl is also darn awesome. I don't think I have any feeble pointers for that one.

[Dr.Volt]

OK, coming to this way late.  But just thought I'd throw my spare change in that Hawk Girl looks AMAZING!  Fantastic work! 

Just one question though, is she available for download??  I didn't see her either on your yahoo group websites yet.  Actually I didn't see Super Agent Diana Prince either.  Am I missing something??

[herodad1]

how about a skin of the THINGS original appearance before he got his orange stone hide.know ones done his original look.it would really work well with the snowman mesh.where is the snowman mesh located?

[Revenant]

Hey the new skins should be released fairly soon, Diana Prince needs some straps and her pouches need to be re-skinned, also the legs haven't gotten their highlights done.

Hawkgirl is ready, she is compatible with Vertex's keyframes, but detourne_me is planning a hexed set just for her. 

I'm going to fix the stone texture on the Thing, roughen it up a bit and he'll be done.  It's in the draft stage right now (anybody who has Photoshop will recognize the "stained glass" filter... ) For his human appearance, what would he be wearing?  The space suit, civilian garb, or his FF costume?

[BatWing]

i think his ff garb will be cool or his civlian clothes

Very cool!  :cool: I can't wait till they are available.  I'll check in periodically at the Yahoo group.   :)

[Nymph]

i love how everything u make is like awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Hawkgirl looks kick butt! :thumbup:

[Previsionary]

sorry for the late reply, rev. I think it's just the mesh that's affecting my view. The mesh seems all out of proportion to me so no major biggie quips from me skin wise. :P

[spoiler]you skinners and your need for a challenge. ^_^[/spoiler]

[Revenant]

Two more JLAers done, with hexes and skins courtesy your friendly neighborhood revenant:
1st up, on a Vx_Female mesh with additions from tommyboy's speedball and veratile meshes, and second, Renegade's awesome Hal_GL with a beefed up body and some glowing extras to match his current appearance in JLA:

[BatWing]

 :drool:

[Blkcasanova247]

Man! Oh Man!  :thumbup:

[Nymph]

where r these being released if they are??

[Revenant]

I'm not sure if I can release the Hal hex yet... I have to ask Renegade if he minds!   :paplease the skin will be available soon though.  I basically added Male_Muscular to Renegade's Hal_GL mesh, since Ed Benes and Ethan Van Scriver's version is looking pretty buff these days, and I really like their penciling... Then I realized he needed some hair, so I looked to Ink's Cyclops mesh to match the current hairstyle.  And of course the glowing billboards for his ring and the icon on his chest that seems to float above the one on his uniform.  It looks weird, but distinctive.  Anybody with NifSkope can easily make this.

Vixen needs some finishing touches, her belt needs one more piece b/c it looks like the parts are just floating.

[cvc]

amazing simply great,don't know how you do it just please don't stop love your style.

[The Pwime]

 :wub:


Best.  Hal.  Ever.

[electro]

Hell yea - that Vixen Rocks :blink:

[BentonGrey]

That Vixen really is fantastic!

[Tomato]

... That GL is one of the best skins I have seen in my entire life.

[UnkoMan]

Geez, man. I don't think you can get any better and then you just keep getting better.
