Afghan Ant Artistic Advances: 12-07-2008 Atomik Backwards

[Carravaggio]

but I really want to finish up my original stuff while I am inspired by them.

Good news, i really dig your original characters AA, they are quality, especially all the H.I.V.E related stuff. I hope that the idea of a mod taht you mentioned many moons ago will still take place some day...
Great job on making the face look alien and inhuman, love the headdress design as well.

[UnkoMan]

Friggin' rad.

[Podmark]

That is one awesome design AA. And a great skoping job too.
I'm looking forward to those X-Men and Quasar too.

[Tomato]

WOW! Excellent design AA, I'm impressed! I love the Alien-Spider-Mech thing going on here, it's awesome.

[Manfred]

Wow, that is really beautiful work!

[juancho]

Werid character design, but i really love the skin, the face is perfect

[AfghanAnt]

Not many of you know this but I hated the hair on Pupae. I settled for it because it had the alpha enable wings well since I know how to nifskope thing I decided to give her the hair I've always wanted.

[Tomato]

Yeah, the new hair is 300% better. Nice job AA!

[Podmark]

looking good!

[C4]

by far the two things I love most about your skinning is ur use of vibrant dynamic colours.

And the pink cheeks on young female characters .  ^_^

[Dr.Volt]

I agree....much nicer looking hair.  Still love those wings as well!  Well done!

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks guys, Pupae is one of my favorite characters because she has all the qualities I love in anime.




Anyway here is a character I am working on. She is from  same HIVE world as Afghan Ant, she was once a hornet commander but defected and now serves as a bounty hunter. She was hired to make sure the hyper-bands didn't land back in the hands of the HIVE world army.

The skin is a work in progress. I have some lining issues and some other parts I need to reskin but then she should be done.

I've got a mantis, spider, bumble bee, cricket, and a generic bug coming soon (maybe a brute beetle as well). After that I think all my main characters will be done. I have some designs for red ant and white termite soldiers but I have to figure out what mesh I want them on.

I want to do some tanks and spaceships but that is dependent on a lot of factors.

[jtharris86]

Wow I love the design of this character, she looks very unique just like all your other works.

[the_ultimate_evil]

fantastic design, superb colour scheme. i'm loving the hair, what mesh are the parts from

[Tomato]

Niiiice, good job AA.

[Podmark]

Another cool design Ant.

[Figure Fan]

Wow! Really nice stuff, Ant.

Also, I'm really excited to see your X3 Dark Phoenix. Could you show us how she is looking so far? I'd love to see it.

[AfghanAnt]

fantastic design, superb colour scheme. i'm loving the hair, what mesh are the parts from

The bang is from Rogue_Jimlee by Ink
The bob is from Arisia
The long hair is from Batgirl_classic_teen by Ink
The collar is from Psylocke_Armor by Ink
The basic and cape are also from Batgirl_classic_teen by Ink
The guy is from Gren's Kree Soldier
The monitor on the wrist is from Mikey mesh by Ren
And the eye patch is from Tommyboy's Asgardian

Wow! Really nice stuff, Ant.

Also, I'm really excited to see your X3 Dark Phoenix. Could you show us how she is looking so far? I'd love to see it.

There she is. She needs some fine tuning but then she'll be done (her and about 6 other skins...)

[Podmark]

another great looking skin. Not a huge fan of the movie look though.

[Blkcasanova247]

Awesome work AA! :thumbup:

[Figure Fan]

 :blink:

O..M..G..

AA, that looks SO COOL! I can't wait until it's released. I like how you skinned it in a more animated style to fit the game. What mesh is that? I may have to try a photoskin on it one time. I need to do a Magneto skin, too.

Nice work, though. Really nice.

[juancho]

Wow AA, you know i am a  hugeee FAN of your HIVE characters, and this one is no exception.
Thanks for sharing your ideas with us buddy
really cool Phoenix too, though i hated her movie look ^_^

[AfghanAnt]

:blink:

O..M..G..

AA, that looks SO COOL! I can't wait until it's released. I like how you skinned it in a more animated style to fit the game. What mesh is that? I may have to try a photoskin on it one time. I need to do a Magneto skin, too.

Nice work, though. Really nice.

Yeah I had to stay true to my style. As for the mesh, the body is ZatannaV2 by Ink, JeanGreyV2 hair by Ink, and the jacket is from Tommy's FTV mesh.

[Carravaggio]

dude...that bounty hunter chick is so freakin' cool! You have this skoping thing nailed. As good as Jean looks, and i dont want to disregard that effort, that bounty hunter is just WOW! I can't believe i haven't seen more scanner/cybernetic eye parts on characters since nifskope has become popular.
I love it when you show us a preview of a new original, you are making vivid, interesting and unique characters. Keep it up!

[Tomato]

Yeah... is it horrible that I wish I could have seen that version of movie Dark Phoenix rather then death-by-goth Famke Janssen?

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks guys! I'm personally not happy with jean which is why I stopped production on her but I will probably get back to her at some point.



Well Halal Hornet is done. I really wanted her to have a name similar to Afghan Ant's so I really thought it fit.

[vamp]

Nice

[murs47]

That's really good design there AA. Both sides of the costumes are different in style but really compliment each other really well. Great skinning work as well. :thumbup:

[juancho]

AWSOME!!!! I just loove the level of detail you are including on your skins, and colors are so vibrant...

With the similarity on the name and the skin tone beign exactly the smae, i dont want to think the good AA has blood ties with this girl ah??
Kinda like the evil twin/sister sort of thing :P

You know I will be making a micro of her, soon ^_^

[detourne_me]

both the hornet and x3 phoenix are drool inducing AA  not much more i could say.
