Dynamic Designs? Well Sort of.....

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make the move from long time lurker (I have been around a long time.... :() to part time contributor.

With that in mind, I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone might have on these characters:

I know that Judo Girl was requested in the Obscure Heroes forum quite a while back. All these look pretty good.

If you ae looking for a place to host these skins, I might know of one... ;)

[UnkoMan]

Sweet. Somebody else did the old Daredevil.
These are some nice first skins. I love the use of googleplex's base on a lot of stuff. That is googleplex's right?

But, yeah, nice work. Hope to see more from you.

[Figure Fan]

These looks great!

I'd like to see more. Definitely.

[apfarmakis]

Dude, you've got to release those gems.

[Jakew]

I'm just starting to get into Project Superpowers, so it'd be great to see these released.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

hi everyone,

thank you for the kind words.  yes that is googleplex's costume base.  i really like the base and i currently have no talent for how to make costumes.  i used his muscular base for samson but utilized c6 bases for the skin tone portions of the other characters.

respectfully,

[Gremlin]

Dude, these are great! :thumbup:

[gengoro]

Love the scarab and the flame.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Cap is that you, returned from the dead?

Oops, sorry ---- close but wrong universe.

Also, Black Terror joins the fight for freedom from the pages of Project Superhero -

Freedom Fans, let me know what you think!

They look great.  Would love to d/l them.

[Cyber Burn]

These are really good, great detail on Americommando's belt.

[Avalon]

Excellent job on these. I 'd like to get these too. Put me on the list.
Black Terror and Samson are my favorites.
I had always though Americommando was red and blue. You have him orange..or at least that is what I am seeing. Is he orange and blue?

[Dr.Volt]

Heyyyyyyyy!!!  It's Judo Girl!!!  Cool!!!  Very nice work on all those skins there!  I'll definitely agree on the releasing request!

[Sioux City Dynamo]

The Crusaders turn the heat up on the Axis as Fireball and Sparky join the fight (I had to photoshop the flames on as when I tried to capture a picture from the ctool the flames would not stand out visible :() 

http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053

Hi Avalon,

I am working from the one and only reference picture I could find of the group.  It has Americommando in an orange and blue uniform and Fireball/Sparky in pink and orange with pink and orange flames.  Go figure, but I believe they look neat anyway.

Also, as soon as I actually figure out how to release some of these I will.  I have never set up a yahoo group before.

Respectfully,

[Sioux City Dynamo]

The ranks of the Crusaders swell as Barracuda joins the team!  The sea is no longer the domain of Axis subs!!

http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Okay Axis!  The Crusaders are finally complete as Rusty joins the team!!

[Carravaggio]

You have some really nice work here, SCD. Great skoping and some fantastic soft colours, Judo gorl and Americommando would have to be my favourites. I can't wait to get all these guys n' gals into the RR!

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

Back again with another character. 

This time, "When my lantern shines upon a grave, those who lie beneath can arise and walk--One Final Time--to seek Justice against those who have wronged them!"


http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053

I could not find a lantern in the same style as the character.....so I had to get a little creative....I think it turned out alright..... :)

[herodad1]

any luck getting a site were you can release your skins?chomping at the bit for your dynamite skins/hexes.

[Carravaggio]

Very nice, whats the source of that character?
Have you considered Googlepages as a host for your files? its free, easy to use and has a fair bit of space. Best of all, no advertising!

[UnkoMan]

That's the Green Lantern from the "tangent" universe. I think that was what it was called, anyhow. It was basically just a bunch of stories about characters who happened to share the same names with mainstream DC folks, as far as I know. I read some things with the Joker (a female vigilante) that were alright, but that's it.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

Unkoman is right.  That is the DC Tangent Universe Green Lantern.  I always liked the Tangent characters.  They have been revived after 52 and are featured in the new Superman's Reign.  I plan to make all of them and have started scopes.  The skirt is not quite right for the GL but it will do for now.

As far as releasing these characters, I do not really know how to do that....any advice/direction someone could give would be most appreciated.

Respectfully,

[Jakew]

You could put them in a yahoo group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/

It's extremely easy to use.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

Joining the DCU portion of my skinning attempts are the Terrific Trio - 2-D Man, Freon and Magma!

Very cool. Having just set up a yahoo group myself, it's not hard. It just involves a lot of link exploration after it's been created to set the permissions of everything that you want. (Such as letting members download but not upload, etc.)  If you need any help, just ask.  People on here are awesome about helping when it comes to anything.   :D

Also, in your zip files of the skins, have a text file stating details such as mesh they go with and make sure to give credit to the mesh and/or original skin designer etc you based them off of, if any.  You probably knew that, but just making sure.  Also, some of the designers prefer to be asked permission to use their skin bases, so keep that in mind. 

(For the record, if anyone wants to use my (few) skins to create their own stuff, they are free to. )

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

I need something to knock around in the rumble room. With that in mind, I pulled together an American Crusader from Project Super Heros.  The googles are not quite right but believe they came out pretty good.

http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053

What are your thoughts?

[Kommando]

i think your site is blocked for distributing malicious code ... lol. try photobucket?

Yeah I got the same thing.

[Avalon]

You should try using Vertex vx3r Human torch2 Mesh...it has a lot more fire. You can scale it down for Sparky:

Found a Picture for you:

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the bad photo hosting site.  I will see about making the change to something different.

Avalon,

Thank you so much for the reference pictures of the Crusaders. The top one is the one I was working from.  Funny enough my eyedropper picked up Americommando's costume color as orangeish.....While your other two reference pictures clearly show his costume as red.  Sometime, I may update his skin to be more in line with the last reference picture you provided.

Also, for Fireball I utilized Gren's Male_Basic_Fx and for Sparky I utilized Male_16 and scoped the FX from Male_Basic_FX to provide flame.   They look great in game but I could not get the flames to stand out well in the character tool for the promo picture. That is why I photoshoped some flames in.

Respectfully,
