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

I don't own any of those issues and I doubt I'll do another Psylocke costume anytime soon.



Well here is Spiral and Longshot. Johnny Patches did the Spiral skope. It's has some pieces from Bearded and Ink's Spiral but different animations (he's still working on them I think) and I did Longshot because he's my favorite and I always thought he hair was wrong and he was too buff.

I'll probably do quick updates on my Shatterstar and Mojo too and release as a four pak or something.

[Podmark]

I've always wondered when we'd finally get to see a Spiral. They both look great AA.
Does Spiral have any weapons?

[AfghanAnt]

Does Spiral have any weapons?

I talked to JP about it and she may have weapons and stretchy arms ala MVC2.

[Courtnall6]

You're an inspiration to us all AA. Great work! :thumbup:

[Johnny Patches]

 :thumbup: nice one on them both..  :wacko:

[BentonGrey]

Some very nice stuff lately AA, and I especially want to say that I really like that Longshot!

[djfredski]

 :o They both look awesome. :thumbup:

[Jakew]

I like the amount of detail you've put into Longshot: clothing seams, pouches, knives, etc.

I can't wait to see that Spiral in action!

[Megatallica]

EXCELLENT WORK AA
I love the spiral skin :wub:

[miguelyanke]

Ink without you I would no longer be skinning, period. Seriously when you initially asked me to help you with skins for your first batches of meshes was at a time when I almost said goodbye to this forum and this game. So really I'm more than happy to continue on promoting your work for the community.

Everyone else thanks for all the kind words, it really inspires me to continue skinning.

[murs47]

The amount of detail put into those two skins is mind blowing. A tremendous job AA, yet again.
The skopes are amazing as well Mr. Patches.

Looking forward to more. ^_^

[UnkoMan]

Man, you're killing me. Friggin' amazing, AS USUAL!

[Johnny Patches]

mr aa you have quite a audience. look who came out to visit  :wacko:. im glad  ^_^ to be a part of it!!! :thumbup:

Wow, wow, wow!!  Those are amazing skins of Longshot and Spiral!!!  Man that takes me back.  I really miss Art Adams...but I digress!  Hey, a Shatterstar and Mojo would completely rock as well!!   Well done!

[Figure Fan]

Whoa!

AA, nice job on Longshot's leather. It's definitely well rendered. Also, Spiral's face looks great.

I'm liking the vibrant colors, too. :cool:

[pr1983]

i'm loving longshot's smirk... awesome work, awesome indeed...

[herodad1]

hey AA, is the superskrull at hero force your updated one?

[marcelo]

Whow! Spiral and Longshot, Psylocke, they all look so awesome!
Congrats, man  :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

[laughing paradox]

The work you do on hair is very impressive. I would love a tutorial on it, if you were ever-so inclined.

Spiral is sick. I really am impressed when a skinner can make something like this look flawless, without the show of any clipping or anything like that.

[AfghanAnt]

While I know that statement I made in the Subject is debatable, Shatterstar is the only creation by Liefeld I ever had any interest in. Honestly I don't even know if he deserves the credit especially after learning that Shatterstar was original suppose to be Longshot. That's right he wanted to make Longshot hardcore. Though it is impractical design for a gladiator, I have always been a fan of Longshot costume especially compared to all the other X-Force design. I really wish he still worn it and I still wish he was just a guy from hundreds of years in Longshot's future rather than Earth mutant with a Mojoworld warrior's soul (that was all Loeb's doing).

[murs47]

Wow AA, you just don't stop! Excellent skin!


I was expecting a Deadpool skin with your topic title. ;)

[tommyboy]

Top stuff AA, even though they are all characters I have no interest in whatsoever (not a big X fan), they all look so good I'll probably have to get them anyway, just for the workmanship.

[Podmark]

what mesh is that? i didn't think there was a complete shatterstar mesh. ... damn you're making me want to fire up my marvel characters ... ;)

It's by Beyonder. Though if I'm not mistaken this is a skope of it by AA.

That truly is a great skin AA. I've never read much with Shatterstar so I can't say I have any attachment to the character but it's an excellent skin.

Why does the one half of his face have that shadow to it?

[electro]

Can't put into words how amazing the Shatterstar & Spiral skins are :blink:

[AfghanAnt]

Whether you call him Marvelman or Miracleman, he is one of the greatest comic creations ever. I dare say in the 24 issues published by Eclipse Miracleman out shown anything that has been done with Captain Marvel/Shazam. While it is a shame he is in court limbo, I am so glad that Todd McFarlane did not get the rights to him.

Anyway enough of the hero worship, I plan on doing the whole family and even Young Nastyman as well. Big thanks to JP for helping me out with these. If you are one those people who does know who MM is, go here: http://www.worldsgreatestcritic.com/miraclemansaga.html

Trying out new techniques and just trying to make my skins stand out a little more.

[Podmark]

That looks fantastic AA. The face is prefect. Honestly I just can't stop starring at his face. I've been trying to improve my face work  a lot lately and this is a constant inspiration.

Trying out new techniques and just trying to make my skins stand out a little more.

It looks kinda odd to me, looks like it's unfinished. Especially when you consider that a skin is a 3d medium a shadow like that doesn't make a lot of sense.
