Tomato: Revolutionary (06/16/08)

Perfect! Omg, that face is juts amazing, it's so stylized but so characterful at the same time. Like IPS said, this skin is beyond belief.

I love the redesign, it's smooth and different to the original, but at the same time really like Caravaggio himself.
So... Well done :)

[catastrophe]

Thats just amazing, simply awesome.

I can even think about anything to comment, either its been said or its already perfect!

[bat1987]

I`m stunned. Superb work, you`ve blown me away!

[Xenolith]

Very nice job.   :thumbup:

Bravo, 'mato! :)  I'm glad that RL finally gave you the break to finish this fine piece of artistry.  What an excellent contribution to the challenge!  :thumbup:

Excellent. Can't wait to see what you do with Podmark. :thumbup:

[Tomato]

Just a preview shot of Podmark to tantilize you poor saps before I actually make it into Spring break (by the time most of you will have bothered to read this, around Noonish Friday EST, I'll be done already, but as of now I haven't yet taken it) though despite the fact I'm sure most of you will think I'm teetering on the edges of being done, I'm really not. I've been doing this skin sort of backwards because I'm using the same uniform base as Carr, so alot of the more tedious stuff I'd normall tackle first (face, hexing, extras, face, etc.) Ignore the pouches entirely, I haven't finished them and I just didn't feel like making them all invisible.

[Lunarman]

Awesome, i love the reflections on the metal. Looking really sleek so far, nice!

[Podmark]

Oh baby I'm loving it. Can't wait to see the finished version.

[catastrophe]

Oh...oh that is just to freaking awesome, dude your skins are more magical than doctor strange's spells!

[Tomato]

Would have focused on starting the face before doing some of the extras like that, but I had a change of heart before I got started... my original intent had been to basically duplicate the mask design from the C6 version, but I decided it would be better if I did something a bit more unique. I'm too tired to do anything more today but I'll sketch out a few different ideas tomorrow. Still, I suspect that I won't stray too far from the C6 mask, because it's got alot of character.

[Podmark]

I'm still loving it.

[Tomato]

Welp, I have goot news and bad news... good news is I've got my design for the face done, and I've already begun the process of getting things in place... The bad news is, I just got SSB:Brawl and Destroy All Humans 3 so I might get sucked into them a bit.

[UnkoMan]

Wow, I didn't even know there was a DAH 2. I can see those two being quite the time sinks.

This Pod is looking great, though. I'm digging these "uniforms." It's enough that they will look similar together, but not like the same guy over and over. And both the metals and reds look really fantastic.

[Tomato]

Still have a few more details left to add to the head (seams to the mask, tweeking the mask mesh to fit better over the head, etc.) but this is about what you'll be ending up with if no one has any comments.

[Carravaggio]

Real smooth fruit boy, looks crisp and sharp. Nice one :)

[Podmark]

oooo sexy. I love the shades. Some people forget the shades but the inability to see my eyes is supposed to be a key to my avatar.

[Tomato]

[Blkcasanova247]

NICE!

[bat1987]

Oh yeah!

[murs47]

Oooohhh, Pod's gonna love that! Very nicely done Tomato

[UnkoMan]

It's an awesome costume. I like the additions of seams on his mask. Makes it look a bit less blank.

One thing however... I don't know how the metal mask is suppose to be built but shouldn't the shadow lines take precedence over the highlight lines, instead of the other way around? It's throwing me off a bit.

[billdamn22]

 :shock2:
Way to go, Tomato. That is awesome!!

[the_ultimate_evil]

bloody hell tom that kicks arse

oooo sexy. I love the shades. Some people forget the shades but the inability to see my eyes is supposed to be a key to my avatar.

you never told me that  :angry:

[Podmark]

Sweeet. Can't wait to take that into the Danger Room and shoot Spud.
I love the seams on the mask.

Yeah I know, but you're design with the half mask was so unique that I didn't think it would look right with the eyes covered.

[Tomato]

You know, for a project that involved only one new skin and pieces I finished months ago, this took an aweful long time to finish.  :huh: Finally sat down and skinned the "Casual" outfit today, so now I'm going to bore you all with poorly written snippits about each outfit.

Classic(middle)- This is Tomato's hero outfit which he wears all through his Influx days, and something I consider to be like Spidey's outfit... I might try to change it or revamp it occasionally but I always seem to default back to it.

Uniform(right)- This is his "Freedom Corp" uniform, a group which he joins after Influx ends (I won't say why because I'm still dreaming I might do a webcomic with the Influx characters eventually) which I picture as an expansion on Billdamn's "Damnage Inc." as well as many other related ideas, which dealt with the capture of villains and putting them to use catching other villains.



Casual(above, left)- I've labeled this "Casual" attire, but thats actually inaccurate... In my brain my name for them is the "FF-outfits" but the FF stands for Final Fantasy not Freedom Force which is why I keep calling them absurd things like "Casual" or the like. It's still a uniform, of a sort, though it's actually more akin to battle attire. The idea behind it is he gets swept into the "FF" world, but he doesn't feel comfortible putting on the 16 different belly-button shirts over top of each other so he throws on a tee-shirt, jacket, and pants.

[GGiant]

Pretty cool.
How about a trench coat will that work as "casual"?

[Podmark]

I love the jacket version. I also love that belt.

[catastrophe]

Not only are you a great skinner but also a great skoper, that Freedom Corps belt it awesome.

[Tomato]

Not only are you a great skinner but also a great skoper, that Freedom Corps belt it awesome.

The term is actually mesher in that instance  :P. With the exception of the tom_basic_thin, everything else I meshed myself.

Pretty cool.
How about a trench coat will that work as "casual"?

Yeah, actually. Chnybe's "Casual" attire is very much dependant on his trenchcoat in terms of design. But in many respects Tomato is me, and I don't think I'd ever be comfortible in a trenchcoat. I actually own the outfit tomato wears with the exception of the fire patch, and it's something I'd be more comfortible in.
