DJ's stuff - Chinook revisioned

[Previsionary]

syn's robot from my "heroes" mod. It was up on FA before, "Freedom asylum down?".

[billdamn22]

Love them, DJ. There is not much that I can say about the robot. Absolute excellence! Just my opinion, but I feel the bare chest under Stampede's jacket (shirt?) is too bare. Have you thought of adding either some bling or maybe even a wife beater t-shirt?
On a side note, I can't wait to get my hands on these Texans.... :thumbup:

[Deaths Jester]

I'm all for free speech and opinions, but if you don't put Dj in the upper rank of skinners in your mind, then you are just plain wrong. Every time he posts he pushes what he does another step further.
Brilliant stuff.

Hey don't forget to put ye self up there too!  I mean what with ye face work...ye make me look so second rate comparedly.

Hmmm...I don't know...I was thinking about putting some chest hair on him but I'm not quite sure though.

[UnkoMan]

Maybe a bit of chest hair.

Personally, I thought it was a unique and original look... Then I realized it was based on a Power Man mesh. Took me a while thought!

[Lunarman]

That robot is gorgeous :)

[laughing paradox]

Your texture work is inspirational. Great job!

[AfghanAnt]

I really like the steel work on the mecha but the black speedster seems weird to me. He doesn't read as a bad guy to me at all. In fact if I didn't read what you wrote I would have no clue.

Also this might be just me but his face, skirt, pants, and boots all look like they are made out of the same material. Did you texturize his skin?

I texturized his skin and everything with different textures, however due to Character Viewer they all seem to come out very similair.  The boots have a snake type texture to them, the skin has well a skin texture and the shirt and pants have two different fabric textures.  I also wanted to make sure he didn't exactly look like a bad guy becuase he is the newest member of the villian team and isn't actually sure he wants to be a villian.  Think like Nocturne when she was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil in X-Men.  She didn't knwo she was in a villianous team until that very moment they attacked the X-Men and that's waht I'm playing up with this guy.  His bio when it's done...*crosses his fingers*...will explain that out.

Yep..that's the Power Man mesh...see what happens whne ye pay to much attention to the skin, Unko!

Just another Nazi for Car and my collection, Schwarz Maske:



I've had this one sitting on my comp for quite some time, thus she has no texturing on her, and Car and I decided she'd be perfect to use as Nite Owl's sidekick.

nite owl has better taste in side kicks.cant wait for all these show cases to be released.i see a major good v.s evil war brewing.

[Blkcasanova247]

Nice work DJ. The only thing I'm kinda not diggin is her hair color. It just looks like she's a "super" dirty blonde (almost like theres a hint of green in there as well). :P Maybe make it a little lighter...like a very pale blonde.

[Podmark]

That is hawt!

[Lunarman]

Oh yeah!

[UnkoMan]

Now that's a sidekick I would want.

I don't disagree about trying platinum blonde, though. It might end up not looking like how you want, but... it's so darn awesome. Up to you!

[AfghanAnt]

While I really like the idea, when you actually put the two together they don't look like they would be partners. The costume of a sidekick usually compliments the hero's costume. Nite Owl has the cape and he's completely black leather and she's a lot of cameo/hard cotton and a leather mask. In fact the mask looks like afterthought of the sidekick idea.

As far as the hair, even though it has that dirty "I bleach my own hair" look that could work for the character's personality. Like she's not naturally blonde but she does so to appear more Aryan.

[UnkoMan]

This is a big difference between DJ's and Carr's skins for this team. DJ's characters are all in uniform, but Carr's tend to have more iconic costumes. I chalked it up to Carr's being sort of the more showy propaganday members, whereas DJ's are the sorts that get down and dirty and are more involved for tactical purposes. Where this lass would fit would be, perhaps, a recently joined member of the "super" team. Nite Owl either gets saddled with her, or chooses her for one reason or another (and I can think of a few), but she has yet to receive a flash costume, instead getting only a mask to reflect her status.

GRANTED, that's just me rationalizing it away. I do agree that it doesn't match up, and would rather see her in something more akin to a Black Canary or Warrior Woman type outfit.

[Podmark]

One thing I can suggest is skoping on a pouch for those pouches on her chest. I'm an advocate of using all 3D parts where possible.

Wow, Unko, ye read my mind about this lass being a newer member who Nite Owl gets stuck with.  As for the costume, the reason is she's a former Nazi party member standard bearer and the Nazis wish to have her stay in that outfit.  That and the fact that she is more of the public face for Nite Owl, seeing as he's more of a stealth specialist, the Nazis would like to see her more in the line of the Party outfit.

[AfghanAnt]

That and the fact that she is more of the public face for Nite Owl

Then why the mask?
From what you described she sounds more like she is the Val Cooper to Nite Owl's X-Factor instead of a sidekick.

Well, she also goes out on missions as well, so she has to keep up with the group as well.  That and it looks better than no mask...I mean, she looks a bit bland without it.

[Blkcasanova247]

Hmm...thinking about it...the mask kinda doesn't make sense. The rest of these Swaztika heads aren't wearing masks...maybe sunglasses might be a solution if you're worried about her not standing out...little dark red ones or shiny black. ;)

[Deaths Jester]

So all know, Car and I are currently contemplating what to do with Shwarze Maske to alieviate the probs ye have mentioned.  Whether it be a brand new look or a change of who see kicks with is unknown but as soon as we decide I'll drop a note here.

-DJ

[edit] And now for the answer to what nobody really seems to care about: Shwarze Maske is no longer Nite Owl's sidekick, she's now Stahlhelm's sidekick!

[Deaths Jester]

Another Western villian to go up against Car's superteam.  Welcome Sharpshooter.

[BentonGrey]

Very awesome DJ, he could have walked straight out of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

[herodad1]

Nope, our stuff has yet to be released.  We're still hammering out some things.

[BentonGrey]

[Lunarman]

That detail is marvelous, well done!
