Tomato: Revolutionary (06/16/08)

[Tomato]

Meh, I was going to update today (Added gloves, finished up boots, tweeked the colors on the chest and pants, and updated the mesh so the face mapping isn't as screwy and doesn't muck with the refl) but my computr's being screwy... for some reason certain keyboard commands on my laptop (such as shift, 0, and print screen, among others) are being hokey... I'm going to restart it, see if that does anything.

I got an interesting idea for the boots and gloves, which I can 100% thank tommyboy for, though he doesn't know it. Once I can make a screen, I'll post it up and see what you think.

edit: It worked! or I think so... print screen did at least, so I can post this now, huzzah!

No, but I'm sending my host an email to see if there's something I'm missing. Is anyone else having this problem? (the site is www.kotsproductions.com )

Almost done now... just have to skin a few extras and figure out what I want to do with the belt.

Y'know, I was actually suprised how well the body came out... normally I try to avoid bases other then my own and those belonging to C6 (because typically they fit my style better) but Aly Cat's base worked well for this one.

I really love the way this is coming out one thing though have you thought about skoping on the tunic from Ink's Mastermind and alphaing out the correct areas to create the hanging shoulder cape?

I'll try it, but I don't know how good it'd end up... Alphas don't always work on my laptop, because the graphics card isn't exactly top of the line. That's why I ended up meshing out new leaves for the Tomato mesh, actually.

Ah, than don't bother it looks good the way it is I was merely being helpful.

[Arilou Laleelay]

Wow, I like this a lot. Mainly because it is not as 'symmetrical' as many other superhero costumes. Nice job Tomato!

Yeah, but you weren't, jerk (kidding)

If nothing else though, I'll see if I can do that portion of it on the family computer. I don't have a good image program on there, but I can d/l a trial of PSP or Photoshop if it comes to that.

My main concern right now, (I can work around it though) is the belt... the refl on there looks kind of staticy. Anybody know what's causing that so I can fix it?

[BatWing]

oh man dude syn looks like so awsome man. :thumbup:

[Tomato]

AA, I hate you. And you as well, Ink. You're just as guilty as AA is for this.



There's something very wrong with Alphas not working for My own personal skin, but working for Syn's remake, and I suspect tampering is involved. Regardless though, the tunic from Ink's Mastermind worked out very nicely, and I took care of most of the clipping on the body itself... still not perfect, but the awesomeness of the tunic makes up for it.

Should be done by the end of the week, leaving me to work on some other projects, though as for the immediate future that might not include skins.

Edit: I finished it at 3:00 this morning, HUZZAH!!

[Lunarman]

Awesome! just totally :)

the only crit I can make is that the colour on the gloves/boots don't match up with the hands/feet if you get my meaning. This is probably something you can fix in nifskope

[UnfluffyBunny]

nice, I like how it keeps with the original design but no part -is- the same :)
also how it combines small detail from my previous avs ^_^
only thing I would comment on is the skin tone, I have jaundis! lol
almost inspires me to skin again ^_^ thankyou very much Tomato :)

[AfghanAnt]

I'm really glad you used the tunic it makes the skin look a lot better.  :thumbup:

[Outcast]

Just stumbled upon this thread.  :o

Must say those are very nice skins and meshes you've made Tomato. All of them. :cool:

It was also a nice suprise to see that someone did some skins of the characters from the NBC Series - Heroes. ^_^

Great job!

Yeah, it's been bugging me too... don't know why it's doing that, since the Gloves use the same settings as the boots, but I should be able to fix it fairly quickly.

Yeah, I think I Downloaded every version you'd done of your avatar, though I mostly referenced the one Juanco did for his micros... I went through like, 3 different versions before I came up with the design that closely resembles this one.

This was on purpose... I figured Syn was this vampire-cyborg thing, and that as a result, the real human pieces of his body would have a certain ammount of decay.

Almost huh...  :twisted:

Yeah, I just wish I'd been able to find is sooner... would have saved me alot of time working on that stupid cape.

[the_ultimate_evil]

superb,one of your best pieces of work

[BatWing]

oh man syn's skin is awsome! including the mesh also!

[Tomato]

I was going to take a temporary break from to work on a mesh/hex for someone else (he knows who he is) and to kind of focus on school, but then I realized... I'm almost two weeks ahead on homework for one class, another only has me doing 100 word paragraphs (for those who do not realize how long that actually is, this post is well over that) and the only one I really need to focus more on is spanish.

So, I'm working on something else now. It's not heroes just yet, I'm sorry to say... I don't really focus on any projects unless I have enthusasm for them, and Heroes has sort of trailed off at the moment... I'll probably get back on it after season 2 though.

As for what it is... well, let's just say this project literally bites.

[Podmark]

Wow looking good. Very cool design.

[UnkoMan]

That is friggin' awesome. That's it. All I can say.

[Haljack]

I like the cloth work more than anything on the skin, know myslef how tricy thatcan be sometimes

I think you mean "The step I avoid until close to the very end of my skins because of it's supreme evil"



At the time I'd started this, I hadn't been aware of any really professional version of the Sharkmen put together (I've found a couple since, but I'm going to just do it anyway, just because it's relatively uncomplicated... And after Syn, I'm looking forward to an easy skin), So I decided to just make one meself. Ironically, the pieces from mesh actually works well with another project I'm currently working on.

[Revenant]

I'm totally floored by that Syn skin and hex.  It's utterly awesome.

[Lunarman]

Beware people, our friendly neighbourhood fruit has joined the dark side!

Wonderful teeth so far :P

[Dr.Volt]

Freakin' awesome work on Syn, Tomato!  Went to Flux today.  Didn't see it there for download.   :(

Also...that sharkman is looking GREAT!

I would hope not, as I haven't uploaded it yet. If it had, that would mean it uploaded itself... and considering the character it's of, that's not a happy thought.

I'll see if I can get it zipped and uploaded tonight, but if nothing else it'll be up by wednesday or thursday, depending on how my "tutoring" goes (Tutoring a daughter of someone from my father's work in Geomotry... I do not remember these concepts being this retarded when I learned them the first time O.o).

[Tomato]

Still have some work to do on this, but it's coming along faily well sofar. I need to finish up the highlights, and now that I look at it here I think I need to blend that forehead a little more, but all the real work is mostly done.

[Tomato]

ZOMG! They're EVERYWHERE!



Hurray for easy to complete skins!

[the_ultimate_evil]

we're gonna need a bigger boat


ahh come on someone had to say it


fantastic work tom, my only crit would be maybe layer a texture of actual shark skin over it to give that extra kick
