Vamp skin's : 10/14

[vamp]

Well my little sister kept me awake all hours because she was having a sleep-over. I had nothing better to do so here is PAVE(repaved):[spoiler][/spoiler]

any crituques would be helpful

[Xenolith]

Its not a bad skin at all.  I think the shading where his shirt ends and his chest begins looks a little odd.  Maybe a little more blending would help.  Is he wearing shoes?  If not, I think he needs some toes, or else his shoes shouldn't change color when he is 'paved'.  Its a nice design.  I like it.  Is it on one of Ren's Luke Cage meshes?

[UnkoMan]

Yeah, this is a good start. I really like how the "skin" came out on both of them. Flesh and pavement look really nice (although I agree that shadow on the chest is odd). The costume looks like it could use more highlighting though. Is this suppose to be a one piece costume or a shirt/pants combo? If shirt/pants then there's no real differentation there... I mean the top is lighter but it's impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.

But it's a nice skin. Definately a great starting off point. With a few little tweaks it could be quite wonderful.

[vamp]

Well with Vamp being done by Unko, I had to make myself a bitter enemy
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
I am pretty much done, But I thought I should ask about it before uploading it.

[UnkoMan]

An even more bat-like human, eh? Interestingly, this guy looks even more "super hero-ish" with his bright pastels, and his cartoony logo. I'm not sure about all the white highlights, though... unless you plan on making his costume super shiny. Then it'll work fine. The belt could use a bit more definition, though, and the nose is a little awkward. If the nose is upturned like that, perhaps just uncover the bottom portion.

Nice job on the ears, and the wings look neat from what I can tell.

[GGiant]

Is his name Chiro?

[vamp]

Well I tried fixing the highlights,but I don't think it made to much of a difference. I also tried with the belt.
[spoiler][/spoiler]
and those wings
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Is his name Chiro?

yep :D

Chiro, or David Hayden, was your average crook, until he crossed paths with Vamp. He was robbing a jewel store to pay for cancer medication of his child. Vamp apprenhended him and turned him into the police.

After being put in prison, his son died shortly. His wife, devastated, divorced him and left the country. He vowed revenge. This time would come after meeting a Mob member in prison. He told the mobster if he broke him out the would kill Vamp. The mobster agreed.

After being broken out, Hayden tracked down the same scientist that created Vamp. He agreed to be the lad rat for a new genetic formula. He would be mixed with the DNA of another bat.

The next morning, the scientist was found dead, drained of all blood. Hayden no longer existed, Chiro had taken his place. He now made the means to destroy Vamp, in every way possible.

During speech, Chiro swooped down and told the whole city he would stop Vamp. He quickly began saving people from fires, and robberies. But his involvement was more than the city thought, he was creating these problems, to improve his image.

After raising enough support for himself, he quickly went to tracking down the Vamp. A fight in the city ensued after the two foes met. Together they destroyed an entire block. Vamp narrowly escaped him by causing an explosion, heavily injuring both of them. The News showed Chiro the hero. Chiro had won, but was not satisfied. Chiro now walks the streets insane with vengeance, waiting to quench his thrist for blood for none other than Vamp.

[UnkoMan]

I really like that story. The role reversal is great. And I see you added some seams, which look real nifty.

[vamp]

Thanks Unko, all the fan support from all these people is awesome. This must be how C6 feels :P

But anyways, I having trouble deciding between the two version I made of Chrio. The are both basically the same, except one has a purple mask.
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]

I don't know which one is better.

And I am starting to mess around more in skinning so tell me what you think of the face. I Think the mouth needs to be longer

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[GGiant]

I think the second one is better.
Oh and c6 feels great not because people praise his skins, it's because he teases us with them. :angry: :P

[UnkoMan]

I actually like the original one better. I don't know if the purple hood thing is needed.

The face is lookin' not bad though. Now you can add your own details, like eyebrows and eyes.
And yes the mouth should be wider, but it is still... lookin' pretty good.

[vamp]

Well, i am back with more experimenting:
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]


THe hair and eyes are just placeholders from from Ips' emma frost skin.

I think I need to soften the cheekbones but I want to know what ya'll think.

Any comments and critiques are  appreciated

[miguelyanke]

LEt me say WOW

[djfredski]

the wings look awesome. :thumbup:

[BatWing]

vamp is back! alrighty!
ur skins looks kewlness!

[vamp]

Thanks for the compliments guys  :D

Well another WIP:
[spoiler]
Yes she is supposed to by gray  :P[/spoiler]
Still need to add some highlights and some more minor details. But I should be done by tonight. THe most daunting part for me right now is the hair  :(

EDIT: Almost done  :D. But now I think her costume could use some accessories. If any skoper is interested in helping me it would be much appreciated ;)

[YoungHeros]

I really like Shadow Dancer ^_^

[vamp]

I am back with the same WIP  :angry:

The other day i was thinking the face was to realistic for the rest of the skin so I tried making a toned down on, but now I cant decide which one is better. SO I will let the public decide.

[spoiler] or [/spoiler]

[Protomorph]

I like the realistic look.

[tommyboy]

I like the right hand one. Both work, and I can see that the left is more subtle, but if I have to choose, I choose the right one.
Nice work, by the way.

[UnkoMan]

I agree, I like the right one more too. The highlights seems smoother, and I like the eyebrow shape and exaggerated cheekbones.

[herodad1]

right

[vamp]

Wow, I just realized how many WIPs i never released or continued. I wonder what I could do about that :P

Anyways, I am back with yet another WIP

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I trying to add a few more gold accents to make the belt(provided from Unko Man's fantastic Vamp skin) fit in better. I may add some tatters to the cape, but I am not to sure if it would look good.

[Lunarman]

Nice! I good simple design, and a cool (skope I presume)?

The only I would say is that his black areas are very dark to the extent they become devoid of detail. But I presume that is the idea?

[Carravaggio]

Its a very crisp design, I think a tattered cape would detract from that.

[Outcast]

I dunno. A tattered cape could help give him a more foreboding look. I guess it would depend on the design of the tattered cape and the personality of the character.  :huh:

[billdamn22]

I like where you are going with this. I personally would stay away from the tattered cape, but I have no real reason as to why. Just my opinion.

[vamp]

Thanks guys. Ya'll are right about the cape not needing to be tattered, so I think I will leave it as in.

I am have more than a few originals in the redesign phase, a few new ones to be shown. Right now I am working on two skins, a new and improved Shadowdancer skin (to be shown later), and my Vamp skin. There is about 3 or 4 that I still have to finalize the designs for. Who knows, maybe I will release one this time ;)

[vamp]

Well I hate to double post, but I am gonna anyways. Here is the New Shadow-Dancer skin I mentioned earlier.
[spoiler][/spoiler]

I'm not to set on the hair color, but I think its not that bad overall.

[Carravaggio]

Reminds me of a character from AoA or some such. I like it, but i agree about the hair colour, I think a light grey or a white would work well to adding to her mysterious/otherworldly/shadowy image.
The face and eyes look great, you have a solid, crisp style lately, I'm much enjoying your skins.
Shadows/dark seams/lines above the boots could help to give that part of the skin depth, as it is it looks like you have either no seams, or have used a dark purple seam. A light purple would contrast more strongly with the black leggings.
I like the tattoo on the face, I'm getting a Psylocke/x-men vibe from her.
