Heh, I reformatted the entire computer and reinstalled the OS. Teh virus in question is dead, gone, and in other words, perished.

[SnowMan]

whoa dude!
that looks awsome!

[BatWing]

god chick looks awsome tom!

[Tomato]

My next WIP. stay tuned.

[GGiant]

Carr's eyes looks great! :thumbup:

[catastrophe]

fo really! Good to see you still skinning, im loving all the small details in your faces!

[Tomato]

And now... critique!

[catastrophe]

im guessing your not done with the mouth but i think the nose is a bit soft, being a Superman like villain he should have a more boned( :huh:) nose. The face looks amazing as it is anyhow, cnt wait until its done :)

[Figure Fan]

I agree with Cat.

I think the bottom of the nose just needs some nostrils or a bit more definition, and maybe just a slight pinkish tone to the lips. Otherwise, barvo on some pretty awesome hair and eyebrows.

[the_ultimate_evil]

great work on the mouth really shows disdain, but i dont know why but the eyes seem to stick out to much for me. they seem so strong compared to the subtly of the rest of the features

[Carravaggio]

WOW!  I look great :D If my redesign turns out even half as cool as AA's I will be very lucky indeed!

You mean like this?




;) Sorry, couldn't resist.



Redid the nose and mouth areas, upped the contrast on the skin area so he's not quite as flat looking, and what have you. I'm still not 100% happy with the mouth, so if anyone has any ideas for it let me know. FF, I did try adding the pinkish tint, but it eithor wasn't noticable enough to be worth keeping, or it looked like he was wearing lipstick.

[Carravaggio]

I do have somewhat prominent lips IRL and the face of my AV was based on a photo of my own.



just for your reference. I wouldn't try to tell you how to skin it, you do it your way thats good enough for me.

...cant wait until its done :)

You think you can't wait? :D

[catastrophe]

i think nose looks awesome tomato, try making the upper lip show a bit on the mouth part. I really dont know if its gonna look better or worse, just an idea :) :o

[Dr.Volt]

The nose, the hair, and eyes especially are well done.  Tomato, the way that you do eyes is significant and unique.  It's almost signature.  Any how, great stuff!

I feel bad about not having anything to share with you guys after all this time, but I feel I owe it to you all, especially Carr and Pod (who were both on my to-do list for the challenge Unko's already finished >.>) to at least let you know what's going on and why I haven't been on... To put it simply, school is evil. The semestre just started, and I've been spending my time wrestling with the idea of not having 8 hours to waste on video games before finally getting around to my hobbies again.

However, I'm taking an Advanced Art course this semestre which has sort of reignited my desire to create art. During the last few weeks I was skinning, it had waned quite a bit, which was part of the reason I didn't really want to skin as much (and why I was getting more and more irritable), but I've gotten a boost I very much needed. Because of that I expect I'll be back in full gear shortly.

[UnkoMan]

Oh school. What a hassle of a thing. You take your time with that, but I can't wait to see more skins from you. This one was coming along very nicely.

[GGiant]

Hey Tom, I just downloaded hellscorp and it was funny when I saw this in the readme:
"Keyframes: Pwime uses keyframes from VX meshes with capes. I included the keyframes from Superman_VX for expediency" :P
Anyway, where are ya, I hope ye come back.

[Tomato]

Grah, didn't expect it to be this busy... ok, school was much tougher then I had previously thought, I'm in the middle of trying to transfer to another college, and I've got parents whining about getting a job for the few insignificant months I have before I inevitably move. This is of course not mentioning the renovations we've had to do... 2 days spent building a wooden playset for my mother's day care, grah.

Granted, I have had some time to do skinning junk, but I got brainwashed into doing a DBZ thingie (not 3d, though probably more complicated) partly because I couldn't bring myself to do the villain uniforms because I'd come to hate the design. However, they've been redesigned today, and by a miracle I have the day off. Keep your fingers crossed.

Edit: It's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tomato]

And Done.

[YoungHeros]

Holy moley! :)

[Podmark]

That looks really cool!

[Carravaggio]

...Wow...
I look AWESOME!
Thats a fantastic rendition of my avatar, I'm suitably impressed mate. Love the unique detail around the neck, thanks for a great re-imagining Tomato!

[deanjo2000]

Now that is something to be very proud of.Great work :thumbup:

[UnkoMan]

Yeah, it's sweet. I like the refl file's squiggles. I also like how he's got the same belt as Hellscorp.

But most of all... how he looks like he'd be the cocky thug type on the team. The Namor, if you will. Except Namor's a jerk even when he's with the good guys, so just imagine him on a team of villains.

Yeah, but practically speaking, Namor is a pansy. Reed alone could probably take him out. Carrivagio though... he could kill the others with his pinkie.

i can honestly say i love that skin. the face is brilliant. one of the best face jobs i've seen on a skin. your skills have really matured. this skin is completly hot and i have no criticism for improvement.

... i have a couple general comments... the skull belt seems out of place with the rest of the costume. there should definately be a belt and buckle for detail purposes but what was the reasoning behind adding as skull specifically? maybe something more military styled would be more consistant with his costume? - just a thought.

also, as a personal touch i would think a subtle orange/red glow in the eyes in the glow layer would be a nice touch in darkened maps.

Thanks man. Coming from you, that means alot  :thumbup:

This was part of the Meshmatter skin challenge where we were tasked with making a team uniform for the Villains/Heroes. The Hero uniform, which was a mishmash of designs we(Unko, Billdamn, TPB, and I) all did, included the FR logo on the shoulders, so I wanted to contrast it with the Hellscorp/Villains Reborn logo (the skull) on the belt. The idea was to have that belt, with eithor a Red or Dark Grey band, on each villain, with different colors and details for each individual member.

However, I do think it is to simple, so I want to go back and tweek it a bit more before release.

As for the eyes... I'm packaging two skins, one with glowing red irises. I haven't shown it though, primarily because I overdid the glow so it'd be noticible in-game, but it looks kind of cheap close up.

[Dr.Volt]

That is definitely a cool rendering of Carr's Avatar, Tomato!  Nicely done!
