Podmark's skins (Game Over)

[murs47]

And then Nori, geez what's up with that

[spoiler]Ok, I thought you were talking about Nori ignoring David, then suddenly kissing him. But I just re-read the issue and OH SNAP! :o That's not David she's kissing!

Total brain fart on my part :rolleyes:[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I really have no idea why my brain registered Hellion as David[/spoiler]

Anyways, have you given anymore thought to a possible New X-Men mod?

No not really. I don't really have the time to do it right now. I'd still love to make it happen.

[Podmark]

I made a skin!



Nothing special, I just had a skope idea for Riptide and needed dip my toe back into skinning to get my many skopes out. I must have been pretty rusty because this skin was really annoying for such a simple design.

[AfghanAnt]

I'm glad someone is keeping up with the mainstream characters.

[blobula]

Hey, Riptide! I like this character. Thank you.

[Jakew]

Cool ... I was hoping someone would do Riptide like that. Has that been released?

[Podmark]

not yet I'm still playing with it.

[Podmark]

Today I've skinned one of my favorite X-villains:



Comes in both Brooks and Ramos versions.

[Figure Fan]

I've always loved Exodus. Is this a new look for him? I remember him having golden armor and shoulder pads.

Still, the skins are wonderfully done. Nice work, Pod'!

[Podmark]

Yeah it's his most recent look.

[juancho]

Hey pod, im digging this skin, it looks really nice
2 lil things that are disturbing the nice skin.

1) i am not sure i love his hair, it seems that is makes his forhead so large, doesn't he have bangs or anything? dunno how to express it in english, but it seems werid

2) cape cliping, i know you cannot fix that, i spose its a mesh issue, but it would look better if u skined a portion of the cape on the shoulders, so when it clips you can't really tell, cause you will be seeing the cape skined underneath too.

Aside from thoose 2 tiny issues i loooove your skin man

[Podmark]

Yeah I hear ya on both of those. I really like the hair with the exception of the forehead issue. I'm going to look into some possible solutions to that.

Since I took that pic the cape clipping has bugged me. I'm going to look into skinning the shoulder, it may or may not be a reasonable solution, it depends on how the mesh moves. I have to check it out.

For the hair, short of skoping some bangs, try adding shadow under the hair. It should break up the forehead nicely.

[herodad1]

what powers/abilities does exodus have?i'm not familiar with him.

[Outcast]

Hey, I was thinking if Riptide was ever done for FF the other day.  :)

edit: Oh as well as the other members of the marauders, and four horsemen of Apocalypse. :P

Nice skins as usual Podmark. Great work on Riptide and Exodus.  :cool:

[Podmark]

I've repositioned the hair on exodus and it's better. I'm going to add a shadow and if necessary I might try some different eyebrows and all that should take away the forehead issue. No pic but it looks much better with the repositioned hair.

Exodus is an odd character as he's sometimes portrayed as ridiculously powerful and other times he kinda sucks. His abilities are to drain psychic energy and lifeforce from others to give himself enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, flight, telepathy, telekinies, energy beams...and probably a couple of things I'm forgetting.

I'm positive Riptide has been done before, along with the rest of the original Marauders. I did Riptide because I had a good skope idea (it's based on Tom's Red Tornado). There's a chance I might do a couple more Marauders if the mood strikes me.

[Podmark]

Just letting you guys know that I'm bogged down with school work right now, but I'll have time on the weekend to finish these off and get them out. I'm also planning to release Northstar as well, who's been finished for months while I was working on Aurora.

In other news it looks like I'll be doing a third Exodus as preview pics for X-Men 205 show that Bachelo has come up with his own variant on that costume.

[murs47]

Have you seen this yet? I think it's really cool.
[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Podmark]

I actually saw that a couple of weeks ago, but yeah it's very nice. I love Cheung's art. Obviously the New X-Men are going to get a lot of play in the crossover. Though I keep hearing people speculate Nehzno dying. Also in the latest X-Men preview, Blindfold predict s bad things for Hellion (who's been shown stabbed in a preview pic), Pixie and Nightcrawler.

Where can I see these preview pics of Hellion?

....I wish I had more time to skin..... <_<.....all the recent comics and events really have the me itching for it.

[Podmark]

He's being stabbed by Lady Deathstrike. It was here on the wizard universe
preview:

4 sites showed the same preview, but each got a couple exclusive pics. Anole is being attacked in the CBR one.

[murs47]

Thanks for the links. ^_^

The first and last don't work though.

[Podmark]

I lifted them from another board, but I remember checking them before. They might have expired or changed.

This link works for the CBR one:

And the wizard one:

There ya go. At least those two are working for me.

[murs47]

Thanks Pod. Poor little Julian...all those holes at once looks like it equals = instant death.

What are your thoughts on which X-Man gets killed? Even before I saw the pic of Nightcrawler in the snow, I had a feeling he would be getting offed. He just seems to be the least most interesting X-Men at this point in time.

[Podmark]

Won't be Nightcrawler. If it was going to be him they wouldn't have shown a preview pic of it. He'll get hurt but he won't die. I'm kinda leaning on Bishop and Archangel (2 of my favorite X-men, actually Kurt is too...I'm not doing well here). I could see Caliban or Hepzibah going too, but they're rumored to be in the new X-Force. Maybe Charles but I doubt it. And a last possibility: Cyclops (my favorite X-man).

There's no confirmation at this point but it's expected that the Astonishing arc ends before Messiah Complex, and Kitty hasn't been seen yet in MC previews. Someone from the Astonishing trip to space isn't coming back and so the suspicion is that it's Kitty. If Kitty is gone, I could see Colossus going.

[murs47]

And a last possibility: Cyclops (my favorite X-man).

Without Cyclops, there is no X-Men. So yeah, he's my favorite as well. I don't think Marvel will kill him.
But, you're right about Kitty; I haven't seen her in any previews as well. I could see Marvel taking out Bishop, but Angel, no. I just feel a lot can be done with Warren.

I thought Carey said Messiah Complex takes place before Astonishing?

He might have, and that's what I've always thought. But I've hearing conflicting things so I'm not sure.
