Pod's skins: Finally some releases (Dec 14/08)

[detourne_me]

Sweet!
you're doing the whole team in this new style?  (most excited about pixie and anole)

love the Gyrich skin too.

[Previsionary]

very nice, pod. The spoiler skin is tres cool. Can't wait to see the whole team...


*blocks out mod ideas*

[Podmark]

Yeah I'll be doing the whole team, whole school eventually I hope. To this end I have enlisted an ally to help.

Most of the skopes for the main team are done or close to, the male uniform is skinned, but I still have to do the female version. Anole gave me a ton of trouble for various reasons but his skope is finished now. Pixie on the other hand is a completely different story. I need to find the proper hair and find a way to pull off the soul dagger. Suggestions are appreciated.

O.O Ohhh Godd...
LOVE It!

Great job on Rockslide but Pixie's hair why not use two Rogue's curly ponytails from the Carey skope and turn them on their side so they appear like they were going upward. Or possibly use Ink's Tempest hair plus pieces from Scarlet Witch's hair for curliness.

Good ideas. You told me about the tempest one before and I'll try that when I finally start the skope. Hopefully I can get something that looks fairly decent.

Love the skope and the skin of my favorite of the new X-men. Can't wait to see Anole. :thumbup:

[Podmark]

skope and skin updates to Elixir:



I badly had to do this because I lost all my gold based Elixir psds in my crash way back. Luckily I still had the black version for the second uniform. Skopes include a new hair piece that was inspired by AA's work. These will be up shortly.

For my next trick I'm going to try and pull off the mobile darkness version.

And a little preview:

LOVE ALL 'EM!!!!!!!

Specially the last one! ^_^

(Why don't you create other skin spoted black over gold)

[Podmark]

(Why don't you create other skin spoted black over gold)

I'm trying something very cool for that one. I'm trying to figure out animated textures so the blackness will actually move around.

[djfredski]

 :thumbup: AWESOME! :D

[Podmark]

An update and a new skin:


I seem to be in an update mood lately. First I did Elixir and today I have Prodigy. On the right is a new skin of his bullet proof vest look he sported against Nimrod and a few odd appearances.

No preview of the new uniform this time, but it is in the work. I'm still playing with it though, the hair is giving me some difficulties.

Prodigy and Elixir will be sometime this week.

AS a gif?!!!! ºOº!!!!

I think the Bullet proof looks no realistic, could you add more lines to this?
something like thies

[AfghanAnt]

As much as I love Prodigy I could never understand why he got to stay and Dani was forced to leave.

Well not quite a gif, but it's a similar concept. Hopefully I can figure it out.

I'm going to be keeping to the design in the comic, as accuracy has always been my number one priority. However I will probably do a little alterations to make it look a little less flat.

Yeah there were a few logic issues at the beginning of Yost and Kyle's run. They wanted Dani out and fast, but their method was off.

[Podmark]

Wow been a while. I finished school and have returned home and was busy for a while and got away from skinning. So I'm starting to get back into it again. The Prodigy and Elixir skins shown above should be released soon as I started some tweaks tonight.

Anyway here's a preview:

Decibel (aka Chamber) from the current New Warriors.

I did these two before my break. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here's some reference art for comparison http://www.comicvine.com/decibel/29-2244/earth-616-decibel/108-11211/

But I have one specific question to ask: should Jono be on a teen sized mesh? He currently is, but the character has to be at least 18 and more likely is 20-21 at this point.

[UnfluffyBunny]

in my oppinion looks too young for Jono, my impression was more mid to late 20's kinda look personaly, I like the fact you're doing 2 versions :) decibels currently my fave new warrior ^_^

[AfghanAnt]

I agree with Syn on all points. I'd use male_basic or something similar he got to be at least 22 (last time I checked Jubilee was roughly 21 and she was the youngest GenXer). Fantastic work on skinning him though.  :thumbup:

[miguelyanke]

'yupe, dunno the age, but in day M jubes looks older than 21, so a i think male_basic could be the perfect verison.

Did you tryed changing actual skirt to AA_x3_phoenix....

are you going to do this version: http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/18265/376632-33308-decibel_super.jpg

I think it could be easier.

[Podmark]

Ok then Jono will be switched to a new mesh. To be honest I was never really sure why I started the skin on a teen sized mesh. I think maybe I was getting too used to it.

There's a few tweaks I'm already thinking about, and I did start a skope for his second New Warriors costume. He's my favorite New Warrior too, but wow my opinion of that book has just been plummeting.

Any skope suggestions are welcome.

[miguelyanke]

let me sent you a new neklace ^_^, pm your mail and tonight i'll send ya

[Previsionary]

Um...ok, when you start using Jubilee as an age reference...there are problems. That girl could turn out to be 10 again next week, going through puberty, and back in elementary school. It's her secondary mutation.

Anyway, glad you're tackling a new chamber skin. I may not read New Warriors, but I can always appreciate a Chamber skin. ^^

[the_ultimate_evil]

plus if you switch to a male basic, use the jeans from syns logan+

you two are really putting me to shame with your output

lol yes age in Marvel can be a fickle thing.
I might do some more (normal) Chamber skins sometime in the future.

Hmm I've been looking for a good pants alternative...could my search be over?

[murs47]

Yeah, the face does look bit younger then it should. But, everything else looks spot on. Good work so far Pod. :thumbup:

Yeah the face looked annoyingly young to me. I'm really not sure why I started on a teen mesh.

[Podmark]

Elixir and Prodigy have been released on funtastic new all-in-one skopes! Elixir includes the new uniform skin. My skinning time is too erratic lately for me to wait til the whole team is done. You'll have to wait for Prodigy's team uniform though, it's not done yet.

Despite my best attempts I couldn't update the front page without breaking the formatting, so hopefully AA can take care of that at some point.

No, problem. I've got a few things to get on the site today I'll update before 12 Central time.

[miguelyanke]

ohh i love it!!! ^_^ the new x-men costume (white and black) is wonderful!!! ^_^
