Tomato: Revolutionary (06/16/08)

[Figure Fan]

I REALLY like these! They are very vibrant and the highlights turned out great.

[Tomato]

UE, I've added a texture, it should be visible over on the desktop pic I did over here

LINKY!

Edit:Woo, fixed spelling and got it on the proper hosting. Go me!

This was just something I put together because I got nostalgic at seeming some earlier Tomato renditions. There's a new version at the end though (Mostly the same skin, new mesh) so you might want to check it out.

[The Pwime]

i think the very first one is probably the best, from an artistic point of view...



(alright, i'm sorry :P)


PS.  I love how by mentioning how fugly my old avatar was, i inspired you to make your awesome new avatar.  :lol:

The sad thing is, the first one wasn't the worst... I made a note at the bottom about another one which I looked at and almost vomited. Seriously, I could use a 16-color pallete and come up with something 300x better.

But yeah, you are totally at fault for the new one... you made that comment, and it was as though every single nit-picky thing I could do with the skin (red from the face bled into the eyes, face was too bright, highlights on the eyes weren't strong enough) and with the mesh (He'd always been too buff for my conception of the character, my recent drawing had glove and boot fins, and when I intitially meshed the leaves I'd merged them with Booleon instead of Attach, and it created all these odd faces everywhere that I didn't really want

[The Pwime]

i demand to see a picture of it, if possible.  :P

[Tomato]

You asked for it...



I call this Version 1.5-Fugly

[The Pwime]

well, uh...


i mean...




...



at least it has a nice refl layer, right?  ^_^

EDIT:  You know what, i think i can top that.  Before i made my craptacular Green Lantern "debut" skin, i made this horribly kitbashed Redeemer 3...i'll see if i can find it.

[Lunarman]

Sadly, I don't have any of my first skins, they were hand painted in Photoworks with the brush tool and nothing else. Oh the fun times, lol.

[Tomato]

I've been working on some projects since I last posted (Last post was a month ago? Ack!) But all of it was in pre-skinning stages up to today, and dividing my time with the mod and the MM challenge slowed my pace to a crawl. However, I've finally got all the skoping/meshing done, so time to skin again



Hellscorp from Villains Reborn. I did the Sharkmen already, so I thought it was only fair that I complete the set.

Dude, that face looks vicious! The eye shape and details surrounding it look very well done.

Is that grill his mouth or some part of it's costume?

Looking forward to the final version.

I'm assuming it's a grill, though I'm going off the design in the Villains Reborn comic, which I didn't design. For all I know MJB just drew his fangs funny  :P

[Xenolith]

The eyes are very good.  I think he would look neat with a mouth like a lamprey eel.  :)  Nice job.

[catastrophe]

[edited wrong topic]

i like that your doing originals and av instead of mainstream :D

nice skin Tomato :D

[Tomato]

Why are you all hating on MJB's Hellscorp design? It's a good design. Hellscorp=win.

Villains Reborn -for those who didn't get to read it.

Edit: As to cat's post (Chuck+Heroes were on when I posted before, so I sped through my post), Yeah, I don't like Mainstreme much. I figure between C6 and his army of skins (if he ever submits them), plus the combined efforts of AA and Revenant, Mainstreme is fairly well covered. Plus, I like avatars more... I think because I know the people behind them.

[UnkoMan]

It looks really smashing indeed. However, if you are going straight from the comic, well it doesn't really look like metal. Granted, you don't even have a refl on yet. The metal seperation parts don't really look seperate either. Just like a spandex hood. I'm sure you will correct.

Anyhow, it does look real sweet. The eye area is especially good.

[billdamn22]

That is a freakin' sweet start to Hellscorp, Tomato. Can't wait to see the rest. :blink:

[AfghanAnt]

I love that you are doing forum avatars. Great work!

[Tomato]

Meh, if I have time today (classes range from noon-9pm for me, ack!) my plan is to tighten up the edges of the mouth plating and the ears, then start more work on the neck (I finished basic highlights on the head prior to going to bed last night) and get that squared away.

[the_ultimate_evil]

that is looking freaking sweet.


its a shame V.R was never followed up

[Tomato]

Bit of an update... clarified some details, finished the neck, got started on the chest logo... I'm going to give dome depth to the black box next, adjust a few things on the face I've noticed since uploading the pic, then get started on the Armor plating on the body.

As a minor note- I was going to make the skull white like in the logo, rather then the red MJB used (just to break up the ZOMG RED), but It didn't look right, so I changed it back.

[catastrophe]

Loving the logo man and great job on the head!

Cant wait to see the outcome.

[Tomato]

I have off tomorrow, so I should be able to get alot more done.

[deanjo2000]

Awesome :thumbup:
I should really finish my story!!!

[Outcast]

Hey, love the details you have been developing for this particular Villain Reborn, Tomato. :thumbup:

Hellscorp? Right?...So any story yet on this guy? and his powers?  :)   Nice work.

The colors sort of remind me your avatar though..the Darth Vader version... :P just kidding...

[The Pwime]

Just so you know, if you decide to hop on the "no longer skinning" bandwagon anytime soon, i'll kill you.

Yes.  I'll actually kill you.


^_^  Nice work on Hellscorp, by the way.















seriously though.  i'll do it.

[Podmark]

Master you live again!

Nice work on the skin. I miss Hellscorp, wish he'd drop by sometime.

Pfft, even if I did say that it wouldn't help. I've said it, 7, possibly 8 times before now? And yet, here I am. That's why I'm not really as bothered as certain others are about this mass exodus thing... They'll return.

I will say though, that I may not be as active in the next few weeks... I'm still working on skins and the mod and crud outside of FR, but I'll be online less often(once every 1-3 days instead of 1-3 times per day). It's not a great situation, but at least I'll pound out skins and such at a faster pace with less online distraction. I might also be gone around new year unless I can find a job.

I repete I will still be here just not for the rediculous periods I have been.

[The Pwime]

k.


that means i only have to half-kill you.  :P

[GGiant]

k.

What about you Pwime?
If you quit skinning I'll kill you!
SERIOUSLY!

[The Pwime]

ahaha


ha.



i really do need to make a few skins, again...
