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

[laughing paradox]

Thor looks great!

I was curious if you were still doing the X-force team and how it was going.

Would you ever be tempted to do the Mutant Liberation Front as well? I love that team.

I didn't think me working on X-Force info was released but Cable and Dom are complete, I just need to finish up a few others. The only reason they aren't complete yet is I really hate the costume designs and X-Force was probably least favorite of the X-titles as a child.

I have no plans on doing MLF, I just have way too much on my plate right now.

[AfghanAnt]

So finally I worked on some originals:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Here is the Catastrophe Bug with his Anti-bodies. The Anti-Bodies are composed of pure thoughts. He steals thoughts from others to generate an army of telekine warriors to fight for him. Even though he is a bug, I wanted to go with a computer virus sort of directions so similar to agent Smith, CB can steal the thoughts of people and make them into drones.

[spoiler][/spoiler]
Here we have the "white ant" Tajsa_Termite (Princess Termite). She uses her ionic bands to create cold fusion creation such as her white ants to battle for her. She basically has taken the place of what I wanted to do with Afghan Ant but she just evolved with the plan and I actually am glad that I didn't make another AA.

Oh FYI, I've done FXs for these two as well as the last batch of originals I've completed as long with new hero files. I'll try to release these soon but I want to finish DM, Style, and Cass' new HIVE avatars before I release.

[Lunarman]

Brilliant! I love those two. Catastrophy really stands out with the unusual design.

[Podmark]

Really like Catastrophe Bug. Nice work AA.

[jtharris86]

Great job AA... I really love the design. Keep  it going. :thumbup:

[Carravaggio]

Love the way you've stuck to the insect theme AA. You just keep raising the bar higher and higher.

[Chemical_Clear]

Catastrophe looks teriffic, one of your's best in my opinion.

[The_Baroness]

I love them both... excellent... Catastrophe looks very menacing and the white ants is incredible

[Blkcasanova247]

WOW! :blink: Those are so cool! Amazing skins...truly amazing. :thumbup:

[miguelyanke]

AA, m'encantan! XD (I'm loving it XD)
the first one looks incredible...

[the_ultimate_evil]

bloody superb, end of

[bat1987]

That Catastrophe bug is mind-blowing!

So, will AA regain his powers? I`m really interested in these Hive worlds stories.

[The_Baroness]

the hive is sooo calling for a mod....

[Dr.Volt]

I'm with the others....LOVE the HIVE story line.  VERY unique and imaginative.  Awesome skins as usual!

[AfghanAnt]

Wow! You guys are great. I'm actually glad Bug got this sort of response because he has been through so many designs before I settled on that one.

As for AA, I don't know if he gets his powers back. After having his arm replaced a mimetic one and his time as host to the Catastrophe Bug giving him an almost endless knowledge of tactical moves, maybe he'll just make what he has work for him for a while. He still has one of the Hyper-bands (even though he can't access it's power) so there is a possibility there but I have to say I kind of like that Carlo (and Tajsa to some extent) is the new "AA". I've always been fond of legacy character who had similar powers to the original but explained or used in a different way. 

A mod...uhmmm maybe I'll read up on modding. Could anyone point me in the right direction about getting started? I've actually thinking about creating a site dedicated just to my Hive characters with hero files and fxs (maybe even a map or two).

What type of modding are you looking to get into? The comprehensive list of tutorials actually links to quite a few useful modding sites + the FR wiki + the ezscript wiki...so there's 3 immediate resources.

I don't know maybe Ezscript because it is easy and I could release it as episodes rather than a full mod. Thanks for the links, Prem. I'm going to look at this right now.

No worries...though I didn't even link anything, heh. Common misconception though, you can actually release mods in episodes via python scripting, it's just a little messier on the installer side (unless an executive is used). I used episodes for the batman mod I never finished...um...*runs*

I know there were no links but you pointed me in the direction I was hoping for.

Uhmmm maybe I'll try my hand at both but migawd I can't even guess when I'll be done with this if I do begin it. There is a lot of work to be done (soldier, background people, new buildings and vehicles...urgh).

[Podmark]

I know what you mean AA. I keep toying with working on a mod, but I've rarely gotten beyond the planning stage.

[style]

Me too I'm still gonna try it though. What is getting me is skins that need completion and changing from  :ff: to  :ffvstr: And also I need a whole new faster computer. I'm thinking Alienware. :thumbup: But a Hive mod would be. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: It's like a cross between Starwars, Lord of the Rings, and The Matrix!

What? Yet none of you thought to even ask me? You're all blacklisted...ALL OF YOU! Well...not AA...but the rest of you? Totally blacklisted.

*pulls out black notebook with black colored paper and writes several names down...in black ink*

...

*poofs away...in a black cloud...of smokiness*

Disclaimer: Tis a joke. But you all are still blacklisted. Not really. I'm not joking about this.

lol well if I ever get to the point where I'm actually going to work on it I'll be sure to let you know.

prem never working on a mod typical :P

[AfghanAnt]

So here are Juli and Juni. Fairly easy skin job after finishing up Cammy. I might actually redo Juni's hair.



I don't think I'll do the other dolls but you never know.

[Podmark]

very very nice. You're skoping work always impresses me.
Are those ties skinned or meshed on?

[Lunarman]

Love the two above, the black-clad twins. Awesome :)

[Blkcasanova247]

Very cool AA! You know...I've been thinking about skoping Bison/Vega for a while now...maybe I'll give it a try.

[UnkoMan]

Where did you get those tie pieces anyhow, AA?
