Love them! Amazing work as always AA!
Am i right in remembering you did those cammy skins for Wingzero's mesh? If you did will you be re-skinning the Delta Red Cammy?
Again, outstanding work!

You are correct.

So I updated Juni's hair and I think it looks a lot better.

Podmark · July 19, 2008, 09:25:15 PM

I love that new hair. Now you know why I'm always bugging you about hair AA.

Indigo · July 19, 2008, 10:19:38 PM

Being a Street Fighter fan, I really love your Juni, Juli and expecially the Cammy mesh AA. Looking forward for the M.Bison mesh! :thumbup:

I finished Coipel's Loki redesign. I'd like to thank Johnny Patches for the initial skoping. Classic Loki is next.

Carravaggio · July 20, 2008, 07:19:15 PM

ahem...Loki shouldn't be THAT hot. :O

Ares_God_of_War · July 20, 2008, 07:45:54 PM

I really like the smirk on her face

Tomato · July 20, 2008, 08:03:14 PM

Dude... that's awesome! Really great work

Blkcasanova247 · July 20, 2008, 08:21:40 PM

Sweet christmas! :blink:

sweeten2213 · July 21, 2008, 12:58:36 AM

Very Nice!! Any plans of doing some of the other Asgardian's? Not trying to be greedy :P You just seem to be a Thor fan since you also did the new Thor and said you're working on the classic Loki.

AfghanAnt · July 21, 2008, 05:51:03 AM

Thanks everyone.

I've toyed with the idea of doing the Warrior Three and maybe Balder but all the other playable Asgardians have been done.

Deaths Jester · July 21, 2008, 06:20:29 AM

I've gotta agree with Car...Goddess' of Mischief shouldn't look so good!

UnkoMan · July 21, 2008, 10:32:36 PM

Awesome. I love this preview pic style you have right now. All those circles. That rules.

Her metal textures look fantastic. And that fur! I've got to download this and check it out closer. It looks way better than my last attempt (for the Corpse). This is really fantastic. The only thing I have to mention is the oddity seen at the hairline, but I'm sure you knew about that.

Still, top notch.

Why thank you, Unko. She should be available as soon as I do male Loki (I haven't made it past the base skin) so maybe this weekend. I need to coordinate with the guys.

AfghanAnt · July 26, 2008, 04:49:26 PM

Classic Loki.
Thanks all the original meshers and Johnny Patches for skoping him (I made a few changes).

His palette is different from the female version to reflect to color classic design. I think I might actually do Thor but it would probably be a better idea to do the Warrior Three.

The_Baroness · July 26, 2008, 05:32:57 PM

I really like it :) wonderful job as always :)

Blkcasanova247 · July 26, 2008, 07:14:02 PM

SWEET!

USAgent · July 26, 2008, 07:34:56 PM

Wow, does he look devious or what. I love that long skinny face you gave him. Nice work,

Core · July 26, 2008, 07:36:56 PM

very cool! i really like the face in particular (as usual with your skins :D ). and good call on changing the color palette.

Podmark · July 26, 2008, 08:35:03 PM

Very nice AA.

sweeten2213 · July 26, 2008, 09:06:34 PM

Wonderful as always, AA. The trickery is just oozing off of him.

Looking forward to the Warriors Three (with Heimdall and Baldur, maybe :D)

BentonGrey · July 26, 2008, 09:13:16 PM

The new Loki is weird to me, even though your version of...it? is very well done, but I have to say that this classic version is beyond awesome. That is just a beautiful skin AA, and I agree with USAgent, that skinny face is pure god of mischief.

Loki was reborn as a woman following Ragnarok. :)

I'm glad everyone liked Loki. Johnny gets all the credit for the face. He skoped the mesh together, I just added and subtracted bits.

I hate myself because I should be working on older work but right now I'm skoping Fandral and Hougun's new designs as well as working on a Storm Giant or two (Loki needs someone to do all her dirty work).

I'd love to do Balder's most recent design. If I don't get burnt out he'll get done.

djfredski · July 26, 2008, 10:45:35 PM

:thumbup: that sound great AA! can't wait see them.

AfghanAnt · August 02, 2008, 09:17:13 PM

So here are the first two of my HIVE versions of FF members.

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]
Here is the galactic ladybug lover, Casim "Cass" Coccinellidae, though you might know him as blackcasanova247. In the HIVEWorld, Cass is a lover and bounty hunter. He wears a "love machine" which generates forcefields around himself and others. He'll come with a fxs pack to replicate what I saw in my head and possibly have some hair I can't make up my mind.

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]
And let me introduce you to Styx Spider (Style of course). He's a former friend and fellow trainee for potential public hero with Carlo Cricket. However, the monarchy had different plans for Styx. He underwent an experimental procedure and had his body fused with a recovered SHIVA unit. He now works as an assassin and his existence is kept secret. Longing to be a public hero, Styx has a grudge against Carlo and is constantly finding ways to make life more difficult for his former friend.

Up next, Detourne_me and surprise redesign for someone.

Blkcasanova247 · August 02, 2008, 09:27:16 PM

Oh My God....that's just cool! :blink: :thumbup: And I love the character description... :lol: Awesome...[Expletive Deleted] Awesome!

Podmark · August 02, 2008, 09:50:55 PM

Wow AA I'm pretty disappointed. Usually your skins are top notch but these two are simply terrible. The designs are utterly bland and the face work, which I usually find to be your best work, is just simply generic. I'm very disappointed AA.

BTW did I mention its opposite day?

Zippo · August 02, 2008, 11:13:42 PM

Super work there AA! I absolutely adore all of your HIVE characters, and these are some great adaptations.

Cyber Burn · August 03, 2008, 12:49:31 AM

Really enjoying watching the hive grow. :thumbup:
