More damn Nazis-this time with laser sword goodness!
accompanying the standard nazi troopers are these H2H experts armed with photonscimitars :P
he will have a helmet and some armour as well.

[Doctor Voodoo]

I LOVE MASTERMIND! Wow that's one of the coolest skins I've seen. Great color scheme, I'm excited to see the finished product! :thumbup:

Nazi's, very interesting...have you thought of doing Joseph Megele aka Death Angel of the SS? His nickname just conjures such fearsome thoughts, I'd be interested in seeing your interpretation. :D

[Carravaggio]

...says the man who's avatar is a galaxy conquering superbeing.... ^_^

You got me BG  :lol:

Thanks Doc, i'm quite pleased with it myself. I'm aiming to make the crest on it into a speaker so his psychic emanations can be translated into audio. As for real characters, its hard enough to justify a 'Hitler skope'. I'm a little uneasy about the glorification or fictionalisation of the Nazis. I dont like what they stood for, and i almost didn't suggest this entire project to DJ just on account of that.
A lot of games tend to downplay the activities of the Nazi party just making them another army the 'good guys' fought against. Everytime i sit down and skin a nazi characters i have statistics running through my head, this many jews died here, these crimes were commited there. It ain't pleasant. So i'll avoid interpreting real people into the game.
But fear not, by the time DJ and I are done you will never run out of these guys to knock around in the rumble room.

Messenger of the Church: I never got around to finishing this guy until now, Nifskope allowed me to alter the opacity of the wings to create the desired effect.

[AfghanAnt]

I love what you are doing with the Church characters. I can't wait to redownload them.

[Lunarman]

Wow! Those wings are awesome, I feel inspired

[Tomato]

That's awesome Car! I can't wait to see what those wings would look like ingame!

[Doctor Voodoo]

very cool Car, I am way impressed! :thumbup:

[Tortuga]

Great stuff, Car.  Makes me wish I still skinned and played the game :)

[Podmark]

Awesome stuff Car. Top notch designs and execution.

[Carravaggio]

Something i have been meaning to do ever since i read the authority

[C4]

wow that halo and wings are extremely cool.

[AfghanAnt]

I really like what you've done here. :thumbup:

[Carravaggio]

Thanks guys :)

that's a cool idea. i like that halo car. just clean up the edge of the texture so it isn't cut off and you're set!

i love that you noticed that IPS :D I should have known. I noticed it too late, but fear not, I wouldn't release it yet, not until i mess with the halo a bit more (i'm aiming for an animated flicker effect)
Thanks for the comments.


Adam, leader of The Chosen (thus far)
In retrospect the dark purple lines might be too dark...well back to it, this guy isn't much use to anyone without a face!

[Carravaggio]

er um... sorry - i hope i wasn't pissing u off... :\ i just notice this stuff... animated it would look quite nice. like a pulsing glow or random glint / sheen may be nice also... regardless. very cool.

nah man i was saying i knew i could trust you to help me pick any oversight, i appreciate the feedback :)  Better i hear it now than release it half-assed. Sorry what i was saying was lost in translation.

how do you get pissing him off from tha...  Oh I get it, u thought he was being sarcastic....  :lol: :lol: I LOOOVE that you noticed my oversights   :lol: :lol:  oh my stomach.

[Carravaggio]

it is such a cool idea though. i'm surprised noone beat you to a mesh with a halo sooner

Me too TBH, im glad i finally got around to it. And seriously, no sarcasm intended, i respect IPS as an artist and a forum member, he was the first to comment on ANY of my work back in the day, so I will always be interested to hear what he thinks in regards to my skins. I just knew that he would notice that flaw and mention it, its what he does, thats why we keep him around :P it wouldnt be IPS if he weren't being honest.

[BentonGrey]

Cool, I like that one of the Jewish team is the first man, pretty awesome.

[Dr.Volt]

Wow!  Very cool, very unusual/unique wings on Messenger!  And I really like the halo on Savior.  Well, I'm just a big fan of the Church!  I agree with AA, I can't wait to download these guys (including Believer :D)!  Of course, I'm also waiting for the female members of the team.  That will be cool!

I also dig the idea of a Jewish super team! 

[The Pwime]

not to be taken the wrong way, but when i saw "A Halo" in the thread title, i assumed you meant "A Halo[themed skin]" and burst in expecting Master Chief...  :P

Very cool stuff, though, Carr.  ^_^

Same happened to me as well :lol:

Ditto on the coolness of your new skins.

[Carravaggio]

A little update of Adam (not sure about the skin tone, thoughts?)

and the start of the Golemist

This guy can summon golems, construct walls and spurs of rock and stone, levitate earth and boulders and by expending all his energy, can summon a gigantic master golem (will be using the frozen giant mesh) to fight for him. Should be tons of fun to play.
I'm hoping to be rid of that glossiness on the rock as well.
CnC as always, most welcome.

[Shazam]

Nice skins as always Carr. Can I ask what mesh Adam is on? It seems familiar, but I can't place it. Skin tone maybe could be a tad lighter, but not too much. Clean and crisp as ever  :thumbup:

[AfghanAnt]

I would make him about the same skin tone or darker as my ava and I think he would look a little better.  Or possibly just leave it that color and add some highlights.



Something like that but maybe a little lighter brown.

Question will you have any Ethiopian Jews?

I think this is a fantastic question.  Jews are still returning to Israel to this day from all over the world from where they were "scattered".  Very intriguing!

[BentonGrey]

Very cool Car!  As far as his skin tone...according to Intelligent Design Theorists, the first man would have had a medium skin tone, a brown between the extremes that exist in the world today.  So, something along the lines of what AA has pictured might be a little closer.

Thats what I was thinking. Evolutionarily the first humans were darker than caucasians, and i'm trying to represent that.

AA that lil tweak you provided was very helpful, the new version:

As for the idea of Ethiopian Jews, I would like the Chosen to be a representative and a protectorate of all Jews across the globe, as well as acting as general superheroes (they wont not save someone because they are of a different faith) but their main goal is the unification and protection of Jews. Like Doc mentioned the Jewish world is very broad and covers a lot of the globe, we find Jews in many countries. I would like to have representatives from a range of Jewish nations so I would be happy to include Ethiopian Jews. the majority of the Chosen were intended to come from non English speaking countries rather than be American born Jews.

Shazam: The mesh is INK's Magneto V3 with Ren's cap body skoped on. I wanted something leaner than Ren's superman, but fitter than male basic.

A new nazi,
Elektrizität
I'll have another run at the textures on his gauntlets and collar, but thats pretty close to him done.

[AfghanAnt]

Awesome I really love the look so far. I really am glad you are focusing on the non-American Jewish people.

the skope for Elektrizität look great.

[Lunarman]

wow! Just, wow. the metal on that nazi is excellent. Really, really high quality, well done.

[Dr.Volt]

Dang that's pretty work on Electrici...Elektrici...oh the electric Nazi Guy!   ;)  Oh...and I likey the darker skin tone on Adam which contrast nicely with his white hair.  Sweet!
