Soon :D

I'd just like to say that I'm enjoying your GLC and SC skins very much M. One question though: Isn't Amon Sur's costume grey and blue like Sinestro's original colour scheme?

Yeah, he originally had it. My hypothesis is that the purple and black scheme is for new recruits. I do have him skinned in that uniform as well. I should probably post it. Here he is in his yellow and black uniform down at the bottom left corner.

Good Lord, this storyline CANNOT GET HERE FAST ENOUGH.

your skins are making me even more excited for it!

i have no real interest in Green Lantern, but this whole Sinestro Corps thing looks intriguing!

The wait is killing me too :wacko:
I just read an interview today from Geoff Johns and I guess he's had this planned for a very long time.
He compares his Sinestro Corps arc to "The Empire Strikes Back," with things going very, very bad for the GLC. GL: Rebirth was his version of "A New Hope" and he eventually wants to do a "Return of the Jedi" for the GLC.

Looks like this event will have some lasting ramifications and it won't be just be a one and done deal for the Sinestro Corps......they are here to stay!  <----pure speculation

Wow, your skins are amazing, you have a great talent and I'm impressed by everything you do, I also love how you're skinning characters which not many people, if any, have skinned before. Great work! Do you think there's any chance of a preview for your Speed skin by any chance. *puppy dog eyes*

I forgot about Speed, I'll show him once I do the rest of YA, which is soon.

First of all, your skins are great!  :thumbup:  Some of the best I've ever seen, and there are quite a few top notch meshers and skinners out there.  I hope I'm not going to come off as pushy, but I have a thread which lists characters that either don't have skins or are not quite up to date found here :

http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=41213.0

Thanks to the hard work of many posters, the list has shrunk and I removed many off the original list.  There are still about 18 on the list.  All the characters on the list are from the mainstream DC and Marvel Universes, and come from some of the more popular ongoing comics.  There are some that are being worked on by other skinners (such as rockslide who is being worked on by Podmark - another talented skinner).  You seem to be right up to date with your comic reading, and are clearly very talented.  Any chance you might take a quick peak, and see if there are any you might be interested in?  :D  And BTW, I also read GL and GL Corps, and the Sinestro Corps thing is pretty cool.

[murs47]

Small update. I'm taking a small break from my GL and SC skins to branch out a little. Well here's Ars....uhm, I mean Red Arrow :P

[Podmark]

Very nice. I thought it was a nice move by DC to "upgrade" Roy.

I've got to say, Your skins are nice dude. Your choices of color, the quality of your outlines, and just the overall style of the characters are outstanding.

One thing that I would work on, which would make them even nicer, is adding an extra highlight layer. You seem to be just adding a colorize layer or manually adjusting color for each section, which is ok in your case, because again, your color choices are pretty good to begin with. However, I've found that adding that extra highlighting layer helps give your skins that extra pop of brightness, and even to help individualize skins.

Hey Tomato,

Thanks for the input. I have actually thought of adding some stronger highlights to my skins, but I feel like the dull colors that I use would overshadowed by the highlights. I didn't think of adding highlights through use of a new layer either. I usually just bring them out with the levels command or curves command. I'll give your technique a whirl and see if it's fitting. I'm glad you like my skins regardless though. Back to more experimenting, and thanks to you, more things to try out. Thanks.

I agree, but some people seem to hate it. I'm really liking him and Black Lighting in JLA. Speaking of which, has someone done a new Black Lightning skin?

I also thought the Roy Upgrade was nice.
I havent seen a new BL skin, but I for one would love to see one.

Well, consider it on my "immediate" to-do-list.

[sweeten2213]

I think Rev and Kssaints both did an updated black lightning skin.

[murs47]

Here's Black Lightning, did I mention I'm really liking Meltzer's run on JLA? Expect another JLA skin or two, not sure who I'm going to do though. Hope you guys like it.

[Peerless1]

I may not know who you are, but I like your work ;) top notch ^_^ looking forward to seeing more

Didn't you used to be part of TeknoSkinnerz ?  :wacko:  I remember that was Starlock and some other Lantern / Middle Earth fans (now that dates me!  ;) ).  Beautiful skins  :thumbup:  :cool:  :thumbup:!   I am several months behind on current comics events, but Sinestro Corps seems long overdue!  *clears throat*  And so is your return!

:o sorry about all the emotes, but I  :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: them! *latecomer to i-net chat*.

O k as an "ancient" GL fan...when is this supposed to come out? 

[apfarmakis]

Black Lightning looks amazing M. I hope you do some more JLA skins, especially Vixen and Red Tornado.

Yeah I was on Teknoskinnerz, I totally forgot. Is that site still around? I'm glad you like the skins.

The Sinestro Corps one-shot issue is out sometime this month. Green Lantern Corps has been a victim of one of the Sinestro Corps members known as Despotelis the past 2-3 issues. And, Green Lantern 18, 19, and 20 have had back up stories for other Sinestro Corps members. Thanks for the comments

Thanks! Red Tornado is actually who I planned on doing next.

I haven't checked lately, but it was up last winter.  I told you that dated me.  :D
Anywho, glad you're back!

Awesome work as usual murs!

Cant wait to see this one in game. :thumbup:

[murs47]

Peerless that is a hilarious avatar :roll: I take it the eX was the sweetest girl in the world :rolleyes:
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that......you are one funny guy.

and thanks for the comments guys.

The current run on JL is one of those things... If you just hear about it, you think "Black Lightning? RED Arrow? LoSH? are these people on drugs?" but once you sit down and read it, you realize that it is a great title.

Anyway, back to skin critiquing nonsense... I really like the work on Black lightning. As always, the facework is spot on, and it's a genuinely good skin.

I do have a few things though... it might just be because he's up against that black background, but the dark blue areas look a bit too... faded. Maybe up the contrast on them just a bit, and darken them a little.

The other thing is something I notice because I had someone get on me about it awhile ago... I don't know why C6 did this, but his male bases... they're oddly gender-less, is all I'm going to say.
