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

[UnkoMan]

I really like the cartooniness you've got going on here. The line on the side of the nose. The highlights. And dude, what did JP use for that head? Awesome.

I believe he made it himself.

[miguelyanke]

DIOS! O.o !!!!! WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET IT?!!!!

[daglob]

If Impossible Man's head were more normal, I'd switch my avatar to that mesh...

Hey, Johnny, have you ever thought of doing a female shapeshifter?

[murs47]

That skin right there is a beauty! Yee-haw!

[Johnny Patches]

first i want to say thanks mr. aa for the awsome texture  :thumbup:

i havent really thought about but ill give it a try..but i was trying to change a female mesh's geometry to fit a male_basic cause im really focused on a spiral  :cool:

[AfghanAnt]

I'm such a big fan of the Braddocks and I'm actually sad what has been done with them. So I decided to do them. I did Psylocke's HOM costume because I thought it complimented Brain's Otherworld costume and of course Jamie doesnt wear anything but gold bracelets and a diaper (wtf?) and the horrible Stryfe-like costume from when Brain was Britannic.



I also thought it was weird that each child sort of embodied parts of the British Empire. Brian is of course Britain itself, Betsy is China, and Jamie is sort of yoga design and therefore India. I don't know if it was planned that way but it is really weird but cool.

[djfredski]

 :o WOW AA, that some awesome work!
Man they look good. :wub:

[Podmark]

Very nice skins AA. I can't believe I've actually seen Jamie Braddock skinned. And you really captured his looks too. I liked the HOM Psylocke look but I imagine that dragon deco took a while to get right. Now familiar with the last costume - looks cool though.

[Johnny Patches]

 :shock2:  you are the man!!!  :thumbup:  :cool:

[Jakew]

Those are pretty awesome. Well done!  :thumbup:

[Previsionary]

Awesome, AA. Never expected any of those costumes to be done. Tis pure coincidence that Jamie just reappeared again after a 1-2 year absence.

Skin wise, I love the face work on Jamie. He looks crazed and mad! Mad with power!

[USAgent]

Fantastic looking Braddocks, I immediately recognized Jamie before I read who you skinned, I never thought he would ever get skinned and you made him spot on.  Nice job on Betsy's arm straps there as well.  I am also not familiar with that version of Captain Britian but he looks well done as well.

[Dr.Volt]

 :eek2:  Holy cow!!!!  Those are phenomenal!!!!!!!  Love Cap Britain and Betsy!  Great detail on them!

[darkknight92]

 :thumbup:

Truly amazing! The level of detail is extraordinary!  Are those dents on Brian's blade? You outdo yourself with each new release.

[laughing paradox]

I remember seeing a skin of that Betsy design before.

Or maybe, did Psylocke have a similar outfit during the Age of Apocalypse? That may have been it.

I particularly like the Captain Britain design. And Impossible Man looks great...Johnny is a monster with skopes/meshes.

[miguelyanke]

T_T snif... i miss'em all!!! TT_TT


Well, what'bout X-men the end Psylocke Costume?! ^.~

Wonderful JOB!!! i've had a lot of time waiting for a HOM psylocke costume ^_^

[style]

Am I missing something who's on your avatar picture AA? :huh:

[AfghanAnt]

mmm i'm not familiar with jamie but that's fun... is he anatomically correct or in a diaper behind cap ;)

i really like psylocke, and love the costume but i'm not a fan of the emboss effect you have on the dragon. it looks like one of those puffy stickers on clothing from the 80s or something when it should be flat embroidery or flush at least to the rest of the material... looks kinda photoshopy-cheese. the dragon itself is really well done mindyou. it musta taken a while.

Jamie is wearing a white diaper and I agree but this was honestly the best result I had. I thought about recreating the texture before releasing.

I've never seen it.

HOM design. It went well with Brian's Otherworld costume.

Am I missing something who's on your avatar picture AA? :huh:

I just thought I'd give another AA a chance to shine.

[AfghanAnt]

nice new avatar mr.

what's it take to get you to clean out your inbox?! =P

I always forget to clean that thing out. And thanks it is just a female version of my character Nox Blatta.

[AfghanAnt]

So here are two of my HIVEworlds originals who I did gender bender skins of. I thought after how Afghan Ant came out I see if the designs held up on the opposite sex. I chose these two because with Afghan Ant they were my first three and I honestly am very fond of Pupae and Nox.

[miguelyanke]

O.o hope to play with your gender-benders in your mod ^.~

[AfghanAnt]

Unfortunately there probably wont be a HIVEworlds mod.

Anyway, I forgot I did this one and I'd like to thank Johnny Patches he updated my Superskrull skope and everything actually stays on. It is pretty awesome.

[the_ultimate_evil]

you seriously just don't stop do ya

[Jakew]

Unfortunately there probably wont be a HIVEworlds mod.

:(

[Podmark]

Those gender bender ones are interesting. Came out quite nice. Is that the Kyle Rayner hair on Pupae?

Super Skrull looks great. That Johnny Patches is awesome.

[UnkoMan]

Got to say, Superskrull's mouth looks weird to me. It's the whole over exaggerated grimace thing, which I'll admit I've done myself but never liked. It looks especially odd when the middle comes so close together, but the edges are soooo so big.
At least you make up for it with, say, your Thing arm. And everything else, really.

I literally slapped my old skin (which the mouth was meant for) onto Johnny Patches new skope. I think the only new skinning I did on it was ears. Once I get the drive I will probably revisit him but right now I'm like "meh" with him. The only reason I skinned the last 5 or so skins was not to get rusty.

[herodad1]

cant wait to play your updated super skrull guys!

[miguelyanke]

U can look at Psylocke x-men the end's costume in tthe end of X-men  book 3 #6
