Podmark's skins (Game Over)

[murs47]

I just read NX #43.............Santo was laugh out loud funny on multiple occasions. :lol:

Great issue. :thumbup:

[Podmark]

Yep I loved the whole thing. Pretty inspiring too, I'll probably have some new skins/hexes coming up soon.

I thought as much, can't wait to see them. :D

EDIT: I still have all that face work I showed you of the kids....and a few other things as well, I think.

[Podmark]

One thing that's been bugging me is the new uniforms. Young Ramos and Finch all do them different to some extent. Makes it hard to settle on a design for my skins.

Just go with the ones you like. They're your skins, have fun with them. Plus, they're all "official" uniforms.

Heck, make them all if you want.

LOL I'm a design prefectionist. I always try to get things as exact as possible.

[murs47]

Well, looks like you'll be doing them all then. :P

EDIT: Did you ever finish that Risman skope, or are you waiting for better reference pics. I really like the new Purifiers design that was showed in MC.

[Podmark]

Haven't done anything with it since I showed you. Was there anything really missing or needed improvement? I need to take a close look at the new designs.

I'm going to choose one design Ramos or Young. I prefer the Young version, but the Ramos one is going to be used more so I haven't decided yet. I'll be doing two Surges because she changes her shirt in the next issue. Might do two Hellions one with and one without the jacket. Hopefully I'll get started this weekend.

In other news I made a Mercury skope the other day. It's based on TJ's symbiote mesh so it has morphing weapons :D

Sweet! ^_^ That'll be cool looking, especially in-game.

For the Purifier skope that you showed me, I think it just needed a little more clothing to the upper body so it looks more like a robe (or whatever it's called) and a hood.

[Podmark]

The original design didn't have a hood, so I'll make a second version :D Have to find some baggy clothing somewhere....

[murs47]

I'd probably go with the Ramos one as well. I like how he adds slight variations to each character's uniform.

[Podmark]

I love that pinup. If you want one like that I could give that a try. But I don't think they're using that exact design in the books. I'll be making hood version  though.

It always amuses me how we have these long discussions in my skins thread :P

Sorry about that Pod. Completely unintentional. I got a bit carried away. Thankfully I kept it on the topic of your skins though.

But I don't think they're using that exact design in the books.

Yeah, I just like how it blends their design in the MC one-shot with the their design in the last two issues New X-Men.

.....................

I need to start using the PM feature a little more :lol:

[Podmark]

meh it doesn't bother me much either way. PMs is probably the better choice though.

Just to be clear anyone can chime in if have any comments on any of this, or anything else. My thread is not an exclusive club....but what if it was .......... I gotta stop watching Scrubs :P

:lol:

Stop daydreaming Dr. Dorian. :P

I'll never stop watching that show, it's too great. :)

[Podmark]

This is the last year, sadly. Actually I only got into over the last year, borrowed some DVDs and was totally hooked. I now sometimes do the whole gaze off into space and comeback with some random comment thing for fun.

[murs47]

nnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :angry: :( :o Why?

I got into about 2 years ago the same way. My old manager invited me over some beers and he stuck on the season 1 dvd and it was automatic :wub:

[Podmark]

I think the crew is just packing it in. I know ratings have dropped so I think they want to get out while they still have an audience.

Anyway Scrubs aside, here's an actual preview! In my thread! It's a miracle!



This is my prototype for the New X-Men's new uniforms (which I believe were created to make things easier on the artists in the crossover). The design is entirely based on Young's art, I might change it, might not. Course I started with David because he's my favorite...even if he may be going evil :(

[murs47]

An actual preview! :o

:lol:

That is looking good. I like how the gauntlets and boots aren't overwhelming like Ramos' and they're a dead on for Skottie's design. The only thing that slightly irks me are the kneepads. They seem a bit too rectangular, narrow, and long. But it looks good so far.

David go evil? Could be interesting. I think he's just going through a bad break up though. Poor little fella.

[Podmark]

Yeah kneepads look a little long. I'll double check but I think the knee pads are supposed to be rectangular. I've got a couple of changes in mind but this is probably pretty close to done.

The thing about David, in 43 Kitty is talking about Josh and saying that he might be the next Magneto but the panel shows David looking in on Nori and it looks a bit creepy. He's got all his skills now and back during Academy X he saw a potential future that ended with him as a villain. There's a lot of speculation right now that that may happen now.

[murs47]

Yup, I'd say it's pretty close to done.

I remember that story about David. He was almost Lex Luthor like.

[crocodamon]

really really nice

[Podmark]

 :blink: Dude! Someone other than Murs posted in my thread!!

Nothing new to post yet. Put together some more New X-men skopes and I'm probably going to work on some skins this weekend.

[Hiroki8]

nice work can't wait to see the new uniforms :thumbup:

[Ares_God_of_War]

hehe but Murs lives in this thread :) we dont want him evicted now do we?

[murs47]

Fools! Who dare posts other then I? :angry:









(So that's what it feels like to be Dr. Doom)  :lol:

[Xenolith]

I'd post if I knew anything about the characters you skin.    :)  My secret desire is for Podmark to skin characters I've read about.

[Ares_God_of_War]

not quite like Doom you need to speak in 3rd person

[Podmark]

I'd post if I knew anything about the characters you skin.    :)  My secret desire is for Podmark to skin characters I've read about.

So which characters have you heard of? :P

I'm mostly skinning X-Men stuff right now, but there's always the chance I'll do something else.

[ElijahSnowFan]

i'll poke my head in here, since you guys are joking about other folks never posting in this thread!

just wanted to say, "thanks again," Podmark, for your efforts/dedication to New X-Men. again, i started reading it because you were so bullish on it, and it is easily one of my favorite books to read each month.

i picked up all the trades from the changeover to New X-Men, and now i'm getting the singles.

i think it's great how you've kept up with the multiple costume changes the group has had in such a short time. needless to say, i'm fairly excited about the possibility of seeing some Purifiers one day, if/when you ever get around to it! (i saw the picture up higher in the thread.)
